Scary shit here. It’s mind blowing that Republicans think this archaic thinking is going to help them. You are soooo right. Not only must we vote but encourage others to get registered and vote.

They don’t. It’s not totally their fault. They don’t have time to teach on one subject in school. They gave way more to cram in that when I was in school. I read a lot of history based non fiction but not every one like to read further. I wish they knew so they would recognize it when they see
