About Left Leaning Idiots

I studied sociology in high school and psychology as extra reading. One of the things that I learned was that uneducated masses of people tend to "follow the crowd" or "keep up with the jones's" because it's the "in" thing to do. Has nothing to do with what they believe, however the government tends to listen to them because there are more of them than there are of us for the most part. Most (even those who are educated) tend to shy away from politics and religion because it is too stressful to think about or deal with and causes personal problems between them and their peers, therefore, if all their peers are leaning left, they will too. The government wants to keep them happy so they will vote (which, again, is the "in" thing to do, not because they believe in what they are voting for) so they concede certain liberties from us all. Then, those on the blind side shut up for awhile (after all, their pride will defend the actions that resulted from their own movement) and the only ones who scream are the eyes-opened educated minority who are then considered "extremist". Right out of the "Communist Manifesto": playbook.
