But I keep seeing post after post post AFTER POST here, that shows that there are quote a few people who have less than NO idea how the government works/is supposed to work. And frankly, not only do I find that shocking, but disgusting.
And I've also been yelled and cursed at, when I've posted the correcting facts of the matter.
Don’t take it out on the posters. US schools stopped teaching how the government works back sometime in the late ‘70s/early 80s. Civics became Social Studies, where students were later taught how to organize a protest and had to come up with an organized protest, complete with signs and slogans for part of their grade.
I became aware of it in 1980. Friends with younger children told me about the protest lessons in the early 2000s.
We rail at POTUS, but this has been going on for over 40 years.
