Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    In general, I'm 1000% opposed to a white history month. But I'm wondering if we could trick the dummies into learning some actual history?https://twitter.com/ppppolls/status/830062151683436545 …

    By a 46/36 spread, Trump voters want a White History Month. Overall 28/58 opposition to that concept though: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2017/02/americans-now-evenly-divided-on-impeaching-trump.html …

        Right. But Trump voters in general do not actually study history during any of them, except for the dinosaurs on the Ark part.

        fair. I'm surprised 36% of Trump voters don't want one actually.

        a legit thought exercise, but it has very low odds of achieving the lofty goal🤔

        Maybe. But it'd be fun to start the month by saying, "No Jesus talk this month bc he wasn't white."

        31 days (because you know they’ll pick one of those months) of “ok class, today we’re talking about genocide.”

        Ugh. Polls are sketchy. Based on a survey of 712 registered voters with 49 questions. Lack of demographic/geospatial open data?
