If naturalized citizens have to take a test to get citizenship so should all Americans take a test to show they know about how government works. 70% or better is the pass rate.

I doubt the majority of chump supporters even know there are three branches of government let alone can name them.

I worked at a factory where an immigrant from Russia (she was an Ahiskan Turk) was preparing for her citizenship test. I looked through the booklet and said, "Wow, these questions are easy!"

A Vietnamese-American in the area overheard me and said, "I guarantee with you... those stupid women over there don't know answers!" I replied, "They wouldn't know there's 50 stars on the flag or that the stars represent the 50 states? C'mon!" He answered, "Mudda fugga, I work with them before. You ask them at break!" (He often used "mudda fugga" to start his sentences, by the way.)

The three white women in question were about 45 to 60 years of age, and their typical work consisted of cleaning parts and packaging them.

Long story short, they did NOT seem to know anything! I eventually asked, "Okay, who was the first President of the United States? You know that one, right?" Nope! "He's on the one dollar bill! Who is that?" One of them replied, "We're not in school anymore!"

Any idea what the pass / fail % was in those years?

I would say that this is equivalent to 3rd grade Common Core

You'll get the Trump fans all excited about returning to the "good ol' days."

And this isn't ancient history we are talking about here. It wouldn't take much for things to slide back to this bullsh*t.

Heck, we do it now in the form of voter ID. The intention and end result is the same- to keep minorities from voting.

Blatantly designed to confuse.
