How did 300 million plus Americans get duped into defending partisan politics and forgetting these are servant?

There's an old saying told by kings: "If you want to rule people, keep them hungry and illiterate." This apparently still works in some countries, including US of A. The difference is, the modern kings do this very smoothly. It's a really amazing job done by mainstream media, to keep people ignorant in 21st century despite all the communication advancements. I really congratulate the sheeple generation system designers for the splendid job, however there are minor side effects with such a system; for example some of the kings did this not only to people, but also to their own children, kept them as stupid as possible, to lessen the risk of riots by them. This way they could rule longer somehow. It works until the day that the next king comes; he's stupid and can't rule the country and ruins it. I don't know if the current system leaves the chance to have the elite required for next generation, or they all will be dumb.
