They really need to beef up teaching civics in the schools. Tens of millions of Americans clearly know nothing about the difference between a democracy and a police state. Even worse, when they learn they seem to prefer the latter.

"What democracy?" --Native Americans
Replying to @marwilliamson
I've echoed your thoughts for years. At least with Trump I've gotten some education on it- but not enough!!
Replying to @marwilliamson
And that is unquestionably unacceptable.

Ms. Williamson, Here's an interesting civics lesson: We're a "Republic" according to the Constitution. Also, the Framers weren't exactly fond of democracy...

We all have to broaden Bernie’s great message — We must all encourage thousands of strong progressives to run down-ballot EACH year until we have the leverage to win at the top! 2021 elections are next! The more viral, the faster we get there! RTs help a lot! #NotMeUs! Join us!

What is at stake in the 2020 election? Here's some historical context that's much-needed in American schools to help fully understand the challenge each generation has faced. Now, it's our turn. We get to determine the future for the next generation. 1/33 #VoteResponsibly

Yes let’s beef up teaching civics and a false idea of what democracy is. We do not have a democracy and never have. We have a class dictatorship, but schools would never teach about the oligarchy.

That's why civics education has been eliminated in so many places.

I forget who said it..... Teach our children how to think Rather than what to think. Critical thinking, and how to discern what's fact from fiction are what's necessary.
