Interesting article. I would agree that most Americans are politically unaware per that article, because most Americans aren’t economists or historians. It was definitely an interesting read, but what I really noticed is that the article failed to compare American political unawareness to a global baseline, or at least provide some comparable country’s numbers, like England, France, Russia, China, Australia, Mexico and Canada?
Makes me wonder if I could pass the US citizenship test…
Edit: 95% on a practice test…
There are practice tests you can take . I bet you can pass it.
Why did the United States enter the Vietnam War?
Not the easiest kind of question to answer with multiple choice…
Passed that one. It was a little harder than the practice test, but I think it’s about a middle-school level difficulty.
