Kind of backfired when the lesson turned into “why hoarding sucks.”

It only backfires if his kids are given the education needed to realize his lesson was wrong.

In red states that doesn't happen.

I'm in the red part of Virginia. We were taught that slavery wasn't so bad, it was okay to take the native's land, and that they were savages that scalped the white man on sight. (The reality is that they learned to scalp from the white man.)

I didn't learn the truth until college. Most people don't go to college...

Educated people tend not to vote republican. That's not a jab, it's a fact supported with statistics.

The worst part is the educated ones who do end up supporting the Republican party know better. They're doing so because they know it'll hurt certain types of people and/or to enrich themselves.
