America Is So Doomed

America Is So Doomed opens in Miami on New Year's Eve with a trivia game hosted by Xavier and Liberty Hangout Right Now, revealing profound civic ignorance. Participants erroneously date Columbus's discovery to 1976 or the 1600s, confuse Obama's election year, misidentify George W. Bush as Washington, and fail to define centuries or Senate terms. Despite correctly noting Congress's six-year cycle, the group struggles with leap years and incorrectly claims Trump was never elected until guessing 2016. This collective confusion underscores a severe erosion of historical literacy and foundational knowledge essential for a functioning democracy. [Automatically generated summary]
