    We a similar problem as MAGA in that a large part of the base doesn’t actually understand how anything works and lives in a world of memes and hot takes.

    The amount of people who don’t know basic civics lessons like “Who is responsible for the US Budget?” or “How does military service work?” is frightening.

    No wonder democracy is starting to crumble. A large number of our population has no idea what democracy is about, the day to day that they live in is more akin to authoritarian totalitarianism (corporate life, smh). It’s not surprising that people don’t value democracy… they never experience it and don’t have the education to understand it.
