      Ma’am the Republicans and Democrats have almost the same ‘apolitical’ bases. The illiteracy is within every level of American society, you can’t choose one silly side to shove all the issues on.

          That is true, but I don’t see democrats as much better. I see Political literacy as reflected in the pervasiveness and power of grassroot political movements. Something of which America has very little, or if they do exist, get quickly crushed and whitewashed by the politically illiterate (for example, BLM had lots of potential, but was desensitized into nonexistence).

          As well, Literacy in general should also be political literacy, since life and politics are inherently intertwined. Education is what has given us average folks the ability to do what was previously impossible, and move the world in ways that weren’t ever before imagined. An illiterate population is a manipulated population.

            Leftists are almost as stupid as MAGAs. They’re just not evil.

            We just have a massive crisis of stupidity going on, honestly.

              The “enlightened centrist” has arrived to show us his fence sitting skills.
