Just throwing this out there.

If you expect conservatives to learn anything from this experience, I can promise you on my life that they won't. They will not deviate from voting R under any circumstance in existence.

Best we can hope for is independents getting a clue and helping swing the next election, if there is one, back to the grownup party.

Not holding my breath though. This is a very, very stupid generation of Americans.

    Conservatives hate learning, especially from mistakes. Learning makes you go "Why do we do this tradition? This is stupid."

    If a conservative learns something, its a failure of the conservative ideology. Keeping them dumb makes them unquestioning obedient workers and soldiers. You don't have a soldier disobey commands to harm someone, you don't have a worker disobey their boss.

    Conservatism is explicitly against learning.
