What in hell are you talking about-lol?

From reading your post it seems you ard saying education got us Trump?

It wasn't the educated folks who voted for Trump, it was the less educated!

Are you telling me you cannot see the difference between Europe today and Europe 100 years ago!?

Every country in Europe is trying to get into NATO because if you get into NATO you are safe!!

Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine, and other nations.

There has never been a safe place for war in the last 12,000 years, anywhere, until NATO!.

A hundred years ago women could not vote, and we had legal segregation.

And gay marriage is a really recent intellectual understanding.

That is all about understanding civil rights. That involves abstract thinking.

America's diploma divide: States with fewer grads went for Trump

College education levels predicted whether states went Trump or Harris

I understand Koan that your belief system has been shattered - mine too. Over the years I have read your post wanting to believe you were right and that education has changed the world towards a better place and women would make excellent maybe even better leaders. More recently I believe that men of moral character make good leaders no matter what their educational history and that women are just like men; some are good and would make great leaders but most - again like men - wouldn't. If you can't tell, that 53% white women vote for trump has been an awakening for me.

Here is what you said;
<<<<<<<This is ALL a matter of the human species increase in intellect and awareness.

As I have posted before in the last 100 years or so, public education and our complex world has changed humans from thinking in concrete terms to being able to engage in "higher order" abstract thinking.>>>>>

And that thinking Koan got us trump. Your statement and belief should be delegated to the trash heap of wishful thinking - but completely wrong - ideas.
