"Brexit. Trump. Ford Nation. In this timely book, David Moscrop asks why we make irrational political decisions and whether our stone-age brains can process democracy in the information age.
In an era overshadowed by income inequality, environmental catastrophes, terrorism at home and abroad, and the decline of democracy, Moscrop argues that the political decision-making process has never been more important. In fact, our survival may depend on it."
I have a different take. Americans are too dumb for democracy for these reasons:
1) The American Political System needs to be revised and is neglected by political parties and leaders to address critical deficiencies.
2) Political parties must equip the American voter public with time and information to make intelligent choices.
3) The First Amendment is used as an excuse to cover for people who harbor bigotry and hate, undermining human rights as their protected beliefs.
Shame should expose ignorance, and it not be rewarded.
