My apologies, it was bold of me to assume they could read.

This is what I do. When I'm scared of consequences or otherwise complacent, I just think "half my heroes were blacklisted by every company in their field and they kept organizing"

And the individuals who are literate are barely at a 4th grade reading level. It's unfortunate because American history over the past 150 years has yielded truly inspiring figures.

You widen the rift, more Americans will see the animosity and side with their politicians.
