| Politics plays an ever-increasing role in everyone’s life — and is usually the most common topic that is reported by news publishers. However, many parts of politics still remain outdated and, in some ways, stupid.
The Competition
Political parties once were just two groups of people with different beliefs and wanted nothing to do with each other. However, it has grown to parties that are bent on discrediting every other party, and believing that only they are right. What once were people with similar beliefs banding together has become a monstrosity bent on destroying the other party and acquiring new members.
Let take, for example, California. California is widely accepted as the most Democratic state in the United States. California just so happens to be the most populous state with the most representative in the House. Losing votes would be very damaging to the Democrats, so they have to constantly acquire new members and educate the children of California on why Democrats are good and Republicans are so bad.
One example of this would be in history textbooks. As you can see from the images below (Source: Twitter), a history textbook is clearly written to portray Trump as a bad person. Everyone has biases, but in history? Really?
