It would be nice to have a non-sinister, (i.e. non-left,) political movement made up of average to brilliant people. Sadly, about half of intelligent people, (i.e. on the right side of the bell curve,) lean to the political left. In order to wield political power, it is necessary to drill down into the left side of the intelligence bell curve and convince "slow" people to vote for the political right. The task seems daunting. Gradeschool children understand that the kid who promises candy in exchange for votes will win an election. The adult version of candy is the much more destructive welfare. While the political right is trying to inspire people to accomplish great things, the political left only seeks political power. The political left does not need more leaders; it needs more followers, more of Marx's "useful idiots." The political right dreams of making the average person, (i.e. 100 on the intelligence scale,) smarter. The left works through education, (think Jimmy Carter's creation - The Department of Education,) to make the average voter more idiotic. The Third Law of Thermodynamics will NOT be denied. Nature favors increasing entropy, (i.e. stupidity.) Prescription for "The Fall" -- popcorn, lots of popcorn. https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-five-universal-laws-of-human-stupidity
