A complete loss of Journalism. Information and its dissemination and main stream access to it, including the echo chambers of social media, have been torn to shreds. Whats left is a propaganda machine. Couple that with the lack of critical thinking taught at any level of education we cannot possibly expect an individual to understand the basics of this current political machine or why the majority of people will CONTINUE EN MASSE to vote against their own interest and well being. Hence your question.
