Sad as it is to say, there are just many, many Americans that are total lost causes. The GOP gameplan of the last 20 years of crushing education and promoting willful ignorance as some kind of patriotic virtue has worked quite well. Expecting them to blame the GOP is pretty much like expecting to actually find the leprechaun at the end of the rainbow.

I am convinced a chunk of the GOP would blame the Democrats for the crucifixion of Jesus... so at the end of that, it doesn't matter...
You are right, the GOP have been cultivating this ignorance... but its not damned if you do, damned if you don't imo
this is what the GOP voted for... They ought to see the fruits of their ideology and how it ultimately manifests in policy...behavioral modification only works when there is a slap in the face at the end of it all... The GOP base think "the government is broken", well, they have no idea of how bad it will be getting with the RR of OCare and the tax cuts to the rich...
