Major problem with this country:

The deplorables are way more likely to be involved in public office than respectable people. The blue hairs, liberal arts masters degree, cat ladies, brainwashed manipulative types are just not employable in the real world, so they flood local government from top to bottom. They are less likely to have families so they have an incredible amount of free time. Universities got bloated on federal loan revenue and created bogus degree programs for undeserving people. We used to have standards, but now, the more nose rings you have, the more qualified you are, because nobody wants to argue with a mentally ill person. If we keep putting these people in charge of every aspect of our cities, there is no fixing the country. They ruin everything, push out standard American values, and brainwash the children. We need to find a way to incentivize real Americans to manage our cities. People without a home or family don't know how to plan ahead for our future.
