Why democracy v autocracy as a campaign issue falls on many deaf ears.

The Biden initiative to begin attacking MAGA and Trump, their leader, as anti-democracy and pro-autocracy may fall on many deaf ears.  Americans do not even know the blessings of liberty democracy brings because they have never faced a hands-on experience with dictatorships and are ignorant of even the basics of civics and American history. Our education system has failed them.  Biden and his supporters have an opportunity to make the campaign a lesson in civics. There is a rough correlation between those states that fail citizenship tests with the lowest scores and how ruby red they are.  The rest of us in those in all but one state need a refresher course.  National Survey Finds Just 1 in 3 Americans Would Pass Citizenship Test - Institute for Citizens & Scholars (citizensandscholars.org)
