Many of those polled failed to correctly answer basic questions about American independence and the Constitution

    I used to have a hard time believing stats like this until I heard about the illiteracy crisis in American schools. Whole classes of highschool seniors that can’t read… Some of them don’t even know all of their letters. I really, really wish I was joking seeing as I have to live right next to them up North…

    There was nothing to celebrate, it’s a double shit show right now. We should have been mourning for the 4th of July.

    The 13th amendment in their precious “constitution” tells me everything about the US I will ever need to know.

        Did you miss the part where they institutionalised slavery? It’s right after the part where they pretend to ban slavery.

          Oh! Oh no! We don’t agree at all! Well how about we compromise, meet in the middle, and in the spirit of bipartisanship; send it to the supreme court to be repealed?

    You guys really eat up the propaganda, don’t cha?

    So desperate you’ll cite CATO (lololol) going out of their way with shitty questions meant to generate rage from their base.

    This is just adorable. Do y’all regularly read CATO literature? Find them interesting?

      what cause of the cato institute’s is advanced saying they found that americans have a shitty education?

      it’s not propaganda just because it’s from someone you don’t agree with, it might be propaganda, but this doesn’t seem like it promotes right-libertarianism.
