Today, we learned about those guys called “democrats” and “republicans.” (or donkeys and elephants if you prefer) This was a very basic lesson pretty much broke everything down to:
Donkeys (Democrats)
- More Taxes
- More Social Services
- Equality is important
- A strong government
Elephants (Republicans)
- Less Taxes
- Weaker government
Surivival of the fittest
- Faith-based
While I feel that these are very stereotypical, they are mostly true. It was interesting seeing what a crash course in politics looks like.
This is a very succient description of current political stances in the USA… very good.
