The Cato Institute authored a viral Facebook post which received 2,270 interactions and is 9.0x as engaging as other content from the account: "'Please refuse that infantile 'I Voted!' sticker they hand you at the polls. You are, presumably, a functional, taxpaying adult who reads the newspaper and strives to form intelligent opinions about public affairs. You shouldn't be caught walking around with a laudatory label on your shirt, like you're a five-year-old kid who just went to the dentist, got the bubble-gum flavored fluoride and didn't squirm.' -Gene Healy"
