What percentage of Americans are easily brainwashed?

[RegieRocker]

How bad is it from your perspective? Is there hope? Why is education being attacked and many are for making educators into babysitters?

1. Gotta' privatize education

and choke it down to corporate training. Get them young and seriously retard their minds and intellectual growth. Create useful drones to serve a Fascist monoculture.

Oh and it has been systematically bad for decades, on purpose. What is going on now, (talk about brainwashing and being kept ignorant of the facts) is merely a wrap-up phase in the project:

2. I experienced it in 1973 and I agree with you. Unable to determine when

it actually began. Not so sure it didn't begin before, during or after WWII .

3. We have had it posted here that about 30-33% of

the population will vote for republicans no matter what. They supported bush no matter what.

I would say that that is the percentage easily brainwashed.

Education helps. I think that people who are educated and taught how to think are less easily brainwashed.

6. My son graduates this year with a triple major.

Being raised by two democrats he has had a rough go of it in a predominately conservative college. I will attest to the fact that the brainwashing now completely covers all levels of education in some cases. It is sad when college professors try and force their beliefs on students. It is happening, but the scale size I don't know.

4. That's easy, those that still supported Bush up until the end...

and those that voted for Palin for VP.

About 40-50% of Americans

5. What percentage watch Fox"News"?

7. One-third. The rest are harder, but many not impossible.

But it's reversible for the 2/3 that are not permanently brainwashed, or brain dead as the case may be.

8. it's the gauddammmed hdtvs

and all the shit on television. folks just hear the noise from faux as they're flipping channels and believe it's the truth. People don't read as much as they once did, don't even evaluate what they hear.

Education is being attacked by the moneyed interests because if the nation was educated as to what they've been doing to us the past 40 years, the holders of wealth would be closed up in their gated communities afraid to venture out. As is, they laugh at us, no, not laugh, they sneer.

the worst thing for those in power is an educated populace from any point of view.

9. With all those clouds outside, probably 100%

10. I voted 90% but that number depends on who is doing the brainwashing and how their

chickenshit aspect is appealed to.
