Civics can prevent a repeat of Trump

The country is in crisis. A few real issues but most just made up. Trump is the reason for all of this.

Unwilling to negotiate (supposedly his greatest strength), it’s his way or the highway, rules be dammed.

The lack of civic knowledge is why we are here in the first place. Folks just don’t know how the government is designed to work. It’s a government of compromise. Things are supposed to move slow. Bills are supposed to be hard to pass and need bipartisan support. Checks and balances. It was never “My way or the highway” mentality. Not understanding American civics has led to the election and countless abuses and corruption of the current administration.

If the Constitution is not enough for you and you don’t want to follow it, then maybe your in the wrong place.

Those who take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and abuse such oaths should be dealt with. Those who support such abuses are no better. Americans need to clean house of all the abuses and corruption taking place in the current administration.

Teach more civics and produce a more knowledgeable voter base. It’s easy to see abuses if you have any knowledge of civics.
