Go ask your nearest immigrant friend - they'll know - they studied American government. What, No Immigrant Friend? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

If my job was to inform the public, this would be massively embarrassing.

Huey, Dewey and Louie

Not at all surprising. We are a nation full of dummies and it shows 🤷‍♂️

Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice ✨🧑‍🔬

As a foreigner, I know how the US political system works! Wow!!

"Ignorance is costly." LOL. Axios and the rest of the oligarch-captured Zombie Fourth Estate assists in spreading ignorance because from their perspective it is wildly profitable. Nobody's fooled otherwise. The unjournalism industry is a huge reason why we're suffering this KKKristofacsist mess.

And the Dems fought the wrong fight every step of the way

Most people in the administration cannot name a single fucking law they should abide by. Because ALL repuglicans are child rapist pedophiles.

Must be mostly republicans since they don’t think Congress is a separate branch.

I bet we can all guess where the 1 live and where they received their education. Public education works, but only if you can get the R’s to fund it instead of their leaders’ pockets.

I would suggest that they think Trump is on the ballot too.

Being fair in this *specific* regard- they usually do know the branches exist and what they are. They just don't know the official names. Probably not helped by Congress in the last few decades steadily doing less and less Legislative tasks.

Alabama, doesn't tuberville reside in flori"Duh"???

Legislative Branch: Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives🙄 Executive Branch: President, Vice President and the Cabinet 😩 Judicial Branch: The Supreme Court and other federal courts😩

Sad education.

One of the nicest people I’ve know was a former migrant farm worker, poor as dirt, two teeth left, maybe 5’2”. Looked out for us high school kids working under an abusive boss.

Holy fk im Canadian and i know that but then we were taught all history not just American history which has been the downfall of American kids they don't know how the actual world works just the little American bubble they are in

We had advisors there starting in the Kennedy administration but no troops until ‘65. It lasted ten years. half of my youth.

Red states for the win, Alex🤮🤮🤬🤬

I'd love to see how many left wingers can define Democratic Socialism (and how the system(s) work), since no one on here has managed to define it properly

Wonder how they voted.

Trump did say he “loves the uneducated”!

I taught junior high for 33 years. I was always amazed as to how dumb many of my students (and their parents) were!

Amazing how the numbers always seem to align with his approval ratings.

Moe, Larry, Shemp / Curly

How does that overlay with those that support Trump? I'm betting complete congruence

Markwayne Mullen, Oklahoma's dumbest plumber, couldn't either...

An outcome of cuts to public education. The dumbing down of America.

Because at present there’s only one branch: THE COVERUP CHILD RAPE BRANCH😂😂 #EpstienFiles

These same people also don’t understand what one in three means.

republcian plan to gut eduction years ago has certainly been one of the only things they really accomplished when you see the rise of the teabaggers to the magats

He wants Private schools for the wealthy and to kill public schools to dum(b) down the masses and get his "maga" slave culture to follow obediently.

Used to be said, people getting their naturalization knew more about U.S. than people born here. Naturalized citizens are proud of their accomplishment. It means a great deal to them. Why not be thankful people who actually Love this country are being added??

😔

I'm favorably impressed that 65% _can_.

well most people know they’re not the majority, they’re just the loudest in the room

100% true

citizens united may not have been the beginning of the problems created, but it sure did expedite the process of where we are today

Why do Democrats always get blamed for what Republicans do? Maybe they don't fight hard enough at times, but this wouldn't be happening if people had kept Democrats in control.

They go by the name of MAGA 🤪🤣

Civics 101 to vote civics 201 to run Civics 301 to be in office Civics 401 for cabinet. & up

got to keep them dumb to win elections

I will never forget the day I asked an American how they should seperate their Branches of government. His response was that his government isn't a tree.

MAGA loves the poorly educated

And some of them serve in our CONGRESS www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Extreme Ignorance is putting America after everything because you can't, won't or don't know their names. Like lakes or gulfs.

But I bet lot’s of Canadians can.

...You mean the executive, judicial, and legislative branches?

The one third that can’t name the three branches of government are certainly Trump voters.

"Th' big branch, and uh, the little branch, and uh, another little branch?"

Well, Raygun pretty much demolished teaching civics in schools

There’s only 1 branch called fascist cunts

Don't they get partial credit because we don't actually have 3 separate branches of Government right now?

Ignorance on purpose.. Knowledge is power…

27% are functionally illiterate and nearly 50% can’t read effectively above the 5th grade level. Vast numbers have never travelled outside their state or even town. They know little of their country let alone the world.

That probably includes some in government... They certainly run it like they don't understand separation of powers.

It's oak, spruce, and maple, right?

That’s quite an indictment of our education system

Even if you don't read the story, the graph is right there, they go together.

So is indifference.

…mon dieu.

That's likely the third that voted for trump

3/3 immigrants can, btw

We prove everyday that we are not qualified to handle democracy.

Dang it, beat me to it

Racketeering, Trafficking and Crypto?

The worst decisions made in public education: stop requiring civics & US history for graduation/GED.

Americans have been dumbed down for the past 40 years.

1. Congress. 2. The president. 3. The court system.

Hell, right now at least 1 in 3 GOP members of Congress can’t name all 3 branches of govt, specifically NOT the one to which they belong.

Ignorance by design...

😳 even fewer can name all 9 SCOTUS justices

Our schools are funded based on test scores and attendance. There is no push to teach students how to THINK with their brains. And here we are.

I did yes, but it appears that 1 in 3 did not. One would think that this would have been addressed in college or by the teachers union before. Either way it's a damning, no?

Magats, 1/3, coincidence? I think not.

Not shocking really as currently they are acting as one.

I mean these days there isn’t an independent legislature or judiciary, so….

ya but we only have 1 branch under trump, the executive, the rubber stamp, and his rules lawyers.

There is only one branch in US government: Trump crime ring.

More than a few are vegetables, and animals

Solids, liquids, and gels! (Stolen from King of the Hill)

Rapist, thieves, and grifters?

That’s pathetic!

That’s okay, only two of the four television network news organizations can name them, and they were just banned from the White House.

"Ignorance is costly" nothing new, that is the main reason we have convicted felon in the WH

I’m not surprised. An awful lot of them seem to think Canada will adopt them now that they’re feeling the consequences of electing a Nazi twice.

That tracks given that just over 1/3 of the US is MAGA. They’re not exactly known for being bright…

For God’s sake don’t TELL everyone! The world already has little enough respect for us!
