90% don’t even know what “democracy” is

And why? It is the fault of government indoctrination centers and low-IQ, poorly informed teachers. I was fortunate to have a father what was very educated. My sister and I would be deprogrammed at the dinner table every night. I seem to recall a number of conversations about democracy. When I read that word today, it has nothing but negative connotations. I credit my father for that because that was not what I was taught in school back in the 70's. Democracy was presented as a great ideal and form of government.

“My sister and I would be deprogrammed at the dinner table every night. “

My kids grew up in a very liberal area with liberal public school teachers. We would do the same thing. Now as 20-somethings they are very conservative. It may have helped that they were exposed to liberalism and learned the truth about it as they were growing up.
