1. OMG these people are idiots.

2. Wow. By all means

We need to get the money out of politics, but how about the stupid too!

3. Wrong On 2 Counts

He got the wrong Douglas, and Lincoln lost that battle.

4. The worst part is this delegate, an elected official, won't be embarrassed by his public ignorance

5. Will probably get praised

Remember when Trump gave that bonkers speech talking about taking the airports during the Revolutionary War among dozens of totally inaccurate statements? He got praised on the Right, they said he was giving Americans a valuable history lesson that only he understands.

They sink lower and lower, their leaders become more popular when they make up facts, the dumber the better. 98% of their voters have no idea who Frederick Douglass was, heck Trump thought he was still alive.

6. It's not just that he thinks it, it's that he wrote it into a draft law

So he and his staff are so ignorant and careless that they went all the way through the process with no-one noticing. Plus this monument to the Dunning-Kruger effect thinks he should be able to dictate what's taught in schools, and that no-one can teach anything 'divisive'.

7. "Everybody knows it was just a slip of the tongue! I meant to say Lincoln debated

MacArthur Douglas"

[ProfessorGAC]

8. "Or Was It....

...MacArthur Park?"

9. I was thinking Michael Douglas.

10. Or was it that O'Douglas guy, William O'Douglas?
