Americans think the US will be improved by expanding wars, increasing the debt, and adding more tyranny when the reason the USA is crashing is because the US has wars, is in debt, and has a police state.
Americans say that they love freedom, but then they turn around and say they need the government to give them free Obamacare, build a wall, protect the US from Yemen, wiretap their phones, arrest people for feeding the homeless, stop farmers from plowing fields, force people to get rid of dogs, ban vaping, and torture suspects.
Every country has the government it deserves.
If your point is: human beings are irrational, welcome to the club. It's always been that way. Understanding cause and effect requires a bit of sophistication, which tends to be lacking in the average person. It's not a survival skill, so it's not cultivated very actively.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
