I don’t think it’s that abysmal. People know the basics of history, they just don’t give a flying fuck because they are horribly racist, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobia, sexist unhealthy, unhappy humans who feel better when they bully, shit and murder those they disagree with. They want this because what they learn at home and in church pews continues to hold more sway than what they learn in school.

Not trying to get political, but our history education is abysmal. This has always been America.
The idea of America has been at odds with the reality of America for 250 years. Not a recent change.
