Also helps raise more uneducated and poor voters to support the Republican party.
Agreed. The uneducated are much easier to manipulate.

Remember when a certain demographic was saying that every school shooting was an inside job by the left to push gun control? The question I always had was....who actually stands to gain from implying public education is dangerous?
That's right: private schools. And who was the secretary of education at the time these conspiracies were getting pushed? That's right, Betsy DeVos - charter school proponent.
That's my counter-conspiracy. I don't think it's true, but it makes a hell of a lot more sense than an anti-gun protest.

Can't vote them out of office if you can't read the ballot.
