I think a huge problem is that the Generation X, Y, and millennials etc. was they were not taught true civics in our liberal school systems. They have zero clue about about our three powers of government, what socialism, capitalism or communism is at all. They just think it's "something" that's part of their daily social media routine. They have NADA clue of their civic duties and how even their local governments work.
And heaven forbid these school systems teach any truth that's not PC.
I actually heard a recent Tech grad state that journalism and the media in America was the 4th power of Government!!! Seriously!!! Anyway.....These socialist liberals wish to run from history and facts so they can rte-each their dribble in place of truth. This instead of face history and true facts head on and then "move on" (ex: Tear down Civil War statutes, blacks own involvement in and cause of slavery).
They are totally CLUELESS on such important topics due to teachings at the liberal and Socialist Democrat run education systems (5th - 12th grades) across America. Our Liberal colleges are truly hopeless at this point until their endowments run out (good luck with people like George Soros and family) or students quit applying.
