Could NOT care less. If they could care less, then they must care somewhat!
This is what happens when your populace is wildly undereducated in civics. 🤦 >

It's not just undereducation.  It's disinformation and conspiracy propaganda achieving new power levels. >

Yes and people are susceptible to this because they are undereducated in how disinformation and conspiracy work. You don't need a college degree to be taught these things. It's really sad but I don't have a solution for it allowed under the First Amendment. >

Without the first amendment what is your solution, mass censorship and “re-education” programs? >


what is your solution

Mandatory critical thinking training in schools.  No critical thinking in your school program?  No federal funding. >

And how do you know that wouldn't just be subverted by the power structure? So critical thinking is just doublespeak for indoctrination? >

Guess everyone but you is just an ignorant fuck, eh? >

That guy is a bit arrogant, but to answer your question, of course it can be subject to influence but so is everything really, doesn’t mean teaching media literacy for example has no value, the educated population would have to fight to keep it unbiased.
Teaching how media works, how the scientific method works etc. it’s pretty non-biased as they are just methods being taught that people can apply to any topic and arrive at their own educated opinion. >

Those are all good things to teach people. My concern, is since the hypothetical was about a mandated course of study, how that could be used by bad actors to indoctrinate citizens instead of enlighten them. It wouldn't be the first time a regime called something the exact opposite of what it actually was. >

Anyone surprised?
The election deniers are the Republicans with gravitas within their party. They use McCarthy as a door mat when they enter the Capitol, and McCarthy responds with thank you, sir/ma'am, may I have another? >

NoT aLl RePubLiCaNs. Remember when they kept telling everyone it's just a small faction and doesn't represent the party as a whole? Yeah we knew it was BS then and it's only been less and less true as it's gone on... >

Our country is fucked lol >

I think we're okay. The house doesn't have any real power. People will see that the Republicans could care less about governing while the Dems stay in lock step opposition in both their House caucus and the Senate (minus the assholes we all know). I don't think this is going to be the win Republicans think it is. Just another nail in the coffin of moral decay and Party death. Let's Go  Dark Brandon! >


People will see that the Republicans could care less about governing

They literally tried to overthrow the government, or supported those who did, and that wasn't enough to make people see.
The House is going to spend the next 2 years passing legislation and then blame the Dems for it not becoming law. Republican voters will hear about this on Fox News and continue to think the Dems are the problem and then continue to vote R.
