I disagree.... we are turning into a third world country because of the liberal left.... the ones that brought us woke theory and critical race theory being taught in school instead of science, math, etc.... the same left that brought us totally open borders, allowing at least 250,000 mostly illiterate (at best) an/or criminal (at worst) to come in PER MONTH. The vast majority of these people expect "free stuff" when they get here, and the liberal left gives it to em.... They totally drain the hospital systems, school systems, and communities where they expect subsidized, if not free, housing.
None of them understand, or care about the American system of being able to pursue your dream, they expect it to be given to them. They also do not understand how the government works, and will likely vote for the side that promises them more free stuff.... the liberal left....
The same liberal left that is bringing the destruction of the family unit by promoting and encouraging transgenderism, homosexuality, and over all lack of any moral values.... along with the murder of millions of unborn human beings....
Yeah.... I don't think that a disdain for science has much to do with that....
