There are so many things most Americans seem ignorant about. That classrooms are somehow run from Washington, DC. That men are swimming against women in the pool. That vaccines are poison. How did we become so ignorant as nation?
I’m sure it is a combination of factors. To me, the largest is the right wing media ecosystem that holds its audience in ignorance. A secondary factor is places like Ohio, where there are now more parochial and right wing charter school students than in the public schools.
Right, Rick, but only if we stay watchfully engaged. Because I live in a military community, our focus here is on stopping them from decimating the Veterans Administration.

For those of us of a certain age, that is the perfect reference!

Yea. The information system is now very fractionated.
Thanks for this, Jon. The blitzkrieg continues, and I fear for coming generations of Americans.
Me too, B.
As always, Jon, beautifully stated, albeit quite depressing. Keep the faith. It has to turn around, right?

Well said my friend.
Thanks, Julianna!
