Are Americans politically ignorant?

Certainly longer than seven years, but particularly so in the presidential elections of 2008 and 2012. They totally ignored one candidate's complete lack of qualifications, relevant experience, and competence, considering only one factor, his race. Again in 2012 they ignored his pathetic performance in office and gave him four more years to screw things up even worse.

AM Hate Radio and fox "news" have been dumbing American right-wingers down a lot longer than that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
