Trumpism and Education

The ascension of Donald Trump has virtually the whole world wondering one thing: How did this happen?

Many people speculate that it was the perfect storm of the frustration that working class Americans had with a black president, and the stagnation of their financial conditions, all of which was tapped into by what is arguably the most talented conman in history.

Though all this makes sense, there is an additional factor that played an important role in all this, and that is decades worth of deterioration of the U.S., educational system. “It’s a universal law,” begins Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn…..

Of course, not all Trump supporters are uneducated, but (nearly) all uneducated people are Trump supporters.
