HEADLINES: TRUMP’S BASE SPLIT ON THE ISSUE OF UKRAINE

 

Isn’t it about time we quit giving a fuck about Trump’s base?  

One-third of them believe that lizard people from outer space are disguised as humans and infiltrating our government, and that Hillary Clinton is running a pedophile ring for child eating cannibals.   Over half of them can’t spell Ukraine or find it on a map.

  Seventy-five percent of them believe that Trump won the election and Biden is a usurper.  And their IQ is such that they look up to Marjorie Taylor Green, Lauren Boebert and Sarah Palin, seeing them as Presidential material. 

Add to this: white supremacist, neo-Nazis, militia anarchist and fundamentalist Christians dreaming of establishing a Christian Sharia law to punish women who have an abortion.

AN UNDER EDUCATED POPULOUS

My wife was a school teacher.   I was a school teacher and principal.   I could go on at length over what is actually wrong with our public-school system and the logical fixes; but with today’s political cluster-fuck of a government shutdown I will only address one.

I was watching the news this morning and saw a poll that blamed 50% of the government shutdown on Trump, 45% on Democrats in Congress and only 5% on the Republic Congress.   This is just an example of political ignorance which ends up as partisan cultism.

Civics, how our government operates, if taught at all, is taught in the sixth grade.  The ignorance of the American population about the operation of their own government is astounding, and our bastardized understanding of political events comes from whatever TV channel we troll and our social media connections.  

Civics should be a required class for seniors, and should include a project on government followed up by a thesis. 

Of course, this is not up to the schools.   Curriculum is decided by federal and state legislators who have never taught a day in a classroom, and by for profit testing companies.   I don’t even need to point out the disconnect of the Department of Education

A more educated society would not find themselves in the morass we have today.
