Whatever Happened to "Smarts?"

Weird. So many of my fellow Americans are really, really slow on the uptake. Whatever happened to "smarts?" I am not saying I am a freaking genius, nope, I am clueless on so much, but really, there are some obvious things floating around in the air, that supposedly intelligent human beings are totally whiffing on. Sure, it's that partisan politics influence that's part of it. Republicans and MAGA dupes are willfully ingnorant for political power purposes. They are in the business of lying about so much of what's going down in the world. And they gladly follow the lying, sexual predator in the White House; even as he is clearly sinking, a horribly-degraded, corrupt, buffoon. He is wailing, flailing, whining and failing now like a desperate scoundrel looking for a way out. How long can this whole weird charade play out? The folks in the House and Senate could end it all today, or tomorrow. I mean, it's all so pathetic. And what happened to the smart folks?! Where did they go? WTF?!
