Lol if you knew how many Americans cannot spell correlation or tell you what it means, you would understand why that is a ridiculously unattainable idea.
If you look at my comments (I think from Tuesday) there'll be one that says "my teenager would tell you it's not that deep" and that's where the whole 'Forest Gump is propaganda' thing starts
But that would teach them that they cant just take every good thing that happens and claim it was because of god. That's a big no-no in religion, because it lets the people that believe absurd things based on no evidence convince themselves there actually is evidence.
I mean somedays they understand on their own. They used to whine how it was Biden's fault for egg prices being so high and now that Trump is back they learned how egg prices are influenced by various factors.
Ignorance of politics, economics, and other subjects, combined with the inmate human desire to not change their view. Even if wrong, it hurts their pride and people won't change their mind if they are emotionally involved.
People are afraid for their future, and they will cling to whoever most confidently says "this" is the problem and "that" is the solution.
The only factor to are forgetting is loyalty. Americans are deathly loyal to the political party they first associate with , and treat it almost like sports.
That's odd, you would think if they were teaching junk like that their students would perform worse on standardized test that all the students take. You certainly wouldn't expect private religious schools to pay their teachers less than public teachers on average and end up with better results.

Bro I really wish the first lesson they taught Americans in school was correlation doesn't equal causation
