Millions Gather To Express Total Ignorance About Political System

Regarding this weekend’s “No Kings” marches, we cannot do better than the satirical Babylon Bee:

“Millions of Americans took to the streets today in order to express to the world their total and absolute ignorance about the political system they live in.

“Several major cities including Boston, New York City and Chicago saw over one hundred thousand residents show up to proclaim their abject incomprehension of governance.

“‘The world needs to understand how incredibly little we know,’ said local man Roger McMahon, who had joined the march. ‘I really do not think the greater population appreciates how completely uneducated and illiterate we are when it comes to our own political system. That’s why I’m here marching. We’re going to join our voices together and let the message ring loud and clear that we are uneducated rubes in desperate need of a middle-school social studies class.'”
