Shocking....Only 1/3 of US Voters Can Name The Three Branches Of Our Government

In my opinion, this is very disturbing. Where have we gone wrong?

That's because so many think the 3 "branches" are:

Police
Child protective services
Welfare Office
I wish I could say it is surprising, but sadly I am only surprised that the number of Americans who do know the three branches of gov't was as high as 30%. I would have expected it to be lower.
And in case anyone was wondering, the three branches of government are Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Duh.

Pretty much explains why at least 90% of those elected to public office are most likely certified morons.

Does it really matter anymore what the branches are called, given that The Messiah Himself performs the functions of all three?
Guess you all never watched the old Jay Leno show, where he went jaywalking. The people in collages and others were scary the lack of knowledge shown.
