Rebecca<p>What do people think of a lecture series on how government works? Does anyone know of any groups doing this? I live in a very red, small town, rural area and would like to make it as politically neutral as possible. But it feels like a good chunk of the populace has no idea how government works, how to contact your congressionals, etc. Please contact me with any resources or ideas, thanks!<br><a href="https://ohai.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/civics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civics</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/PublicEducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicEducation</span></a></p>

Mark Twain ;-)<p>Shut off the cable news/entertainment channels for some time to reflect on where we are as Americans today in society. And think how we got here. Do not listen to punditry, specifically shut out left leaning pandering channels along with Fox. They are part of the problem. Maybe use your brain for a change. See what you find. The questions to ask are --</p><p>1. How and when did America start encouraging criminals to be political leaders? </p><p>2. How/when did we start glorifying ignorance over education? </p><p>3. Why did Americans start to think that separation of church and state is a mistake? </p><p>4. When did we Americans became so perverted with gender equality that we forgot basic human decency to honor the normal human tendency to gravitate towards biological gender recognition and pushed DEI down the throat instead of teaching people that they should be civil and respectful to all human beings irrespective of their gender preferences? </p><p>5. When did we start prioritizing the neutral perception in our justice system instead of pursuing justice?</p><p>If you think through, I don't think you will like our current Democrats very much. Because, they did nothing to revert the trend. Only gave lip service. And voters kicked them out everywhere. </p><p><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AmericanSociety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanSociety</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/civics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civics</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/DEI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DEI</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/GenderEquality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenderEquality</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>justice</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crime</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/religion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>religion</span></a></p>
