"The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science. If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us."

Alongside this there has been an inexplicable rise in violent oppressive fear tactics against the people that they've chosen as their most vulnerable and valuable targets to terrorize or otherwise disable or destroy, probably combining advanced gov surveillance and illegal data leaks to gangsters
Demonstrations and protest groups haven’t gotten the attention desired. Mega fascist are not listening not seeing. dictator Donnie and his zombie congressman have been knocking bricks out of the foundation of this democracy. Every freedom, loving person needs to get out in the streets! Nationally!
Trump is in a war against reality. Because reality has a well-known liberal bias.
It will also seriously undermine the USA’s ability to compete on a global scale.
Crimes Against America
Deep Thoughts. 🤔
Hey, free dummy!
He wants to dumb us down :(
If we get out of this it will take a generation to fix
They have contempt for knowledge because they know that the world they want to live in and rule requires a shroud of ignorance among the masses. Thus, the headlong rush back to zero.
That we have half a population that thinks we’re the only ones that matter … they have a really good head start on making this a reality.
I have really bad news about Americans' perception of the world.
Like Pol Pot it will be into the fields for you lot.
The rich get a gilded age the rest get a golden shower.
A new Gilded Age for the rich and a new Dark Age for everyone else.
"Ignorance is Strength."
Reagan cut the education budget by 65%. Now 60% of Americans are reading and writing at a 5th Grade level. 1 in 3 of those are at an 8 year old level. Republicans set this up along time ago. Now 66% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. They pay rent & skip meals so their kids can eat.
WITH Democratic votes. 80-14 in the Senate 253-176 in the House This is 1 of the reasons why I cringe whenever I hear establishment democrats talking about how teachers deserve higher wages and our ultimate respect. Even President Biden voted for the cuts.
I would suggest that this “‘New’ Dark Age” is the culmination/continuation of the attack on knowledge launched decades ago by the GOPlutocracy, a key contribution to the disastrous circumstances in which we now find ourselves. Trump is a result, not the beginning, of the attack.
People are getting too smart to fall for all the bullshit so let’s stop that.
We are entering the age of unenlightenment, not only is knowledge itself under attack, so much information is easily to hand yet wilfully ignored. Critical thinking is not for serfs, get them dependent on AI.
