Yeah I have a hardcore racist MAGA uncle. It’s difficult because I have good memories with him from my childhood, but I don’t talk to him anymore.

I don’t know how much worse it can get. We just stopped caring about each other’s feelings and wellbeing. Now it’s wrong to be empathetic. We are not who we think we are. What nation of integrity would allow a felon to pardon 1500 felons?
This is what happens when reason and the rule of law die. Violence is the only way to fight tyranny.
I posted this that kind of speaks to that bsky.app/profile/b21r...
I used to think that too.
Isn't there the "stupid factor" too, tho? Russia started dumbing-down their country after WWI. When all education is removed, a society only knows what they're told. It's what "Moron Mainstream Media" is trying to do to US.
With the wealth of human knowledge at our fingertips, I'm not sure anyone really has an excuse not to be educated. I do get your point though. 😎
Americans have been spoiled rotten
You're so right. What I've learned...thru experience...that if those people haven't seen it with their own eyes...if the poverty and cruelty hasn't affected them DIRECTLY, they don't believe anything. Fascists DEPEND on that.
That presupposes people accessing this wealth if knowledge understand how to navigate it, fact check what they find, and can discern credible from non credible sources. All skills that have been slowly stripped away from education in the last decade.
Indeed. I was dumbfounded when I realized MY KIDS do not know how to Critically Think. Not at all. I didn't know critical thinking was a skill that was taught. Guiding them as adults to cover what their teachers weren't ALLOWED to teach has been awful, as my kids think they WERE taught.
FUCKING HERITAGE FOUNDATION DID THIS TO THEM!!!
I see a lot of people nowadays calling science a religion and saying things like “I don’t believe or worship science” and treating scientists like some sort of heretical priests.
Not you, I'm sorry...that just dumbfounded me...
There is no bottom to the stupidity of some
OK...now, that's just stupid. 🙄
Yes, they did 😞
I guess we started dumming down more recently
Started in 1980 with Reagan
You should listen to Yuri Bezmenov, he predicted the state of the USA now in the 1980's. The dumbing down of the USA started 40 years ago. RuZzia WON the war against the USA without setting foot on the continent or firing a weapon! youtu.be/yErKTVdETpw?...
Republicans have been targeting our education system since the 1980s, at least. Citizens noticed an uptick in crime and teen pregnancy then and they were gullible enough to believe it was "because liberals removed god from our schools". As if the absence of " God" causes those things.
That's the difference...they believe that as long as they wrap themselves in what THEY'VE twisted around into a bastardation of God's Word, any "sin" (like Paedophelia) is covered...and they're above everything. Even God.
Bastardization. I really hate typos.
I understand, I do too. Since there is no edit here, I have had to live with some annoying ones on a few of my posts. 😬
"Bastardization" was too good a word to just leave there. 🤣🤣
Their God, which is just a book, always promoted violence inside and outside the family structure. Their religion itself is corrupt, so they didn't have to reinvent or bastardize anything, which is extremely sad.
💯
I think your probably right, Trump has said he likes the uneducated! That’s why he’s trying to end all education!
Be REALLY aware of Prageru. They're now rewriting history. "Slavery's not such a bad thing, no?"
Oh...quote by Christopher Columbus?? Yeah...unfortunately true in Prageru Land 🙄
A nation that follows the rule of law zealously, forgetting the spirit of the law behind it. Remember, a lot of orange guy's support comes from people who deem certain other people "illegal". Why are they illegal? Because our immigration system is broken beyond repair.
DITTO! It would seem appealing to our government, police & military for help & protection doesn’t work. When did that happen?
My brother in law is hardcore Fox watcher. He used to be the life of the party, now I can barely be in his presence, try to ignore his rants. Very rarely visit, feel bad because I love my sister and she claims she is not a Yrump supporter but don’t know how she can live with him if she’s not.
Sad, my entire family lives in Ohio. You know the rest.
I'm in Ohio and most if my family are in the cult.
I dread my visit to this state.
I hate it here
I get it, I know, leave.
Wish I had money. I would.
Me, not so much$$$ but I am still leaving.
Glad you have the ability.
Ability? It all comes down to what I believe in. Ability is something you are questioning within yourself. I wish I could help. Just know you are more powerful than you think.
I appreciate what you are saying, but I'm a disabled individual. I cannot just pick up and go. I'm glad you are able.
Seriously, I don’t know how much my $$$$ were last, but I can’t stand what is happening to our country. I will fight to the bitter end, and if I need to, I will leave.
