While I agree, some people will never learn and grow regardless. "Touching the hot stove" doesn't work at national policy scale imho. It's like asking sea creatures to evolve fast enough to be able to exist at the rate of acidification due to CO2 saturation. It just ain't gonna happen. Poor decisions will catch up faster than folks are going to learn.
The consequences of people’s votes don’t matter when political affiliation is handed down within families similarly to religious affiliation. The number of people that say “I vote for X because my family votes for X; we’re X people” is simply astounding.
Expecting rational behavior from irrational beginnings doesn’t work well in my experience.
We don't run roads to only those who support the present dominate political party, nor should we do the same for internet connectivity.
