+ critical thinking = support public schools, libraries, art, music programs, teach civic, home ec, fitness and personal finance, and community service. Plant those seeds today. It takes ALL OF US.
So many of us are seeing this play out in real time. We are also starting to see cult members stop and look around and realize they aren't owning the libs they are owning everyone!! And maga, if you haven't seen it or felt it yet, believe me, your day is coming soon.
Some, I have been asking people why. Taxes. It’s all about very selfish reasons.
Yesterday I listened to someone with an open mouth. Someone close. Hypocrisy at its finest. Some are stupid. Abortion was another one. Deep down racism
But also, millions would rather 'outsource' any thinking, critical or not, to Dear Leader. Which I guess itself demonstrates a lack of critical thinking skills.
Not half, 1/3 of the country voted for the convicted felon.
36% did not vote
why?
•were purged from voting, especially if you were a POC
•didn’t vote bc Russia threatened bombing blue districts,
•mail in ballots burned in blue districts,or
•Didn’t care
AND ARE HISTORY IGNORANTS. Can’t believe they didn’t and aren’t seeing the signs…tRump is using the same playbook from Hitler.
Musk, Bannon, and tRump (assassination) the Nazi salut. The purge (getting rid of government guardrail).Sending undocumented immigrants to Guantanamo (concentration camps).
My sight impaired cousin does not get out much so yesterday I took him to visit his friends. Two of them were there and eventually they said that the Gulf of America is great, 47 was going to fix everything, and he and musk were going to give us all $5000 checks, and that's why they voted for him.
This didn't happen over night. Don't forget eliminating basic civics knowledge combined with decades of defunding public education. Oh, and then there's vilifying teachers, too!
For Fucks Sakes stop saying half the country. 70 million isn't half of 360 million. They only make up 42 percent of the voting population, democrats make up 46 percent and independents make up the rest.
That's what's pissing me off the most. We had an open-book test, and most failed. Facts were provided, people were willing to teach, and ppl wouldn't listen. Which tells me they voted with hate in their heart, they didn't want lower (...) they want to keep others as modern slaves.
WE have a lot of folks who are challenged when it some to critical thinking!! The DJT and cronies want to destroy the Department Education!! Sounds like a real good idea to me?????!!!!
75 million of you... When DJT and Elon get rid of food safety, your family will suffer. When you eliminate vaccines, bad things happen. You voted for bad shit in the past and have been protected from the consequences. In time, you will feel the brunt of what billionaires have planned for you.
They call themselves Christians. Its ok to say the elephants seditious name!
Christians! Christians stormed our capitol and smeared their 💩.
Christians steal BILLIONS in unpaid taxes yearly to preach hate and politics from the pulpit.
Christians! Goddamned Christians!
Our people have changed. Social media, MSM, remote work, reality TV, gaming, our love of & thirst for entertaining drama, disregard & degradation of education. (We have failed education and education is slowly failing us.) Our best teachers, the ones who reward curiosity and real work, are leaving.😔
All part of the Republican strategy: keep them uneducated and unhealthy. Been going on for years. Add a bit of hate and fear and a known Russian asset, and now we’ve got maga
That's actually the secondary problem. If they're not paying any attention to what is happening, there's nothing for them to critically think ABOUT. We need dramatic ACTIONS that get people's ATTENTION before we can engage with them regarding critically thinking about what's happening.
I’m hearing and seeing the same thing in Canada. Conservative Leaders and Putin. And people are still supporting them! Even after seeing the shit show in the USA!!
We have similar problems with our right wing base in Canada that the US has, Screaming about BROWN immigrants, trans, gay, drag shows, Trudeau's hair, his socks, blah, blah, blah. And the idiot from Calgary, Jeff, their dear leader has modeled himself on the mango maniac. It's horrifying.
why any Dem in Congress would clap at all for this orange menace is beyond me...unless he announces that he's dying or resigning...then thunderous applause but he lies so much even that would be suspect to applaud it.
These are all people who have been either educated under the TEST CRAZED PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM SINCE THE 90'S OR THOSE IGNORANT ADULTS WHO THOUGHT TESTING EVERYONE EVERYDAY WAS BETTER THAN TRYING TO TEACH THEM TO THINK CRITICALLY AND/OR CREATIVELY WAS BETTER. BUT FOR WHOM WAS IT BETTER???? WELL???
Feb. 28 National boycott of ALL BUSINESSES needs to happen, especially if a company like Tesla PAID ZERO FEDERAL TAXES IN 2022 AND 2024 after getting billions in profits!! Wake up America!!
Less than 1/3.
Less than 1/3 voted for this.
Less than that less than 1/3 voted for sanity.
OVER 1/3 "sat this one out".
IT WAS NOT 1/2! STOP PERPETUATING THAT IT WAS 1/2.
I didn’t fuck around and I saw it coming.
Like Cassandra, for 2 years.
No one believed me.
People told me to stop over reacting.
Stop watching news.
But I was reading the bills the House of Representatives was pushing.
We can only do so much, when I can't even convince my own mother in the past 8 years not to vote for Trump. I even threatened not talking to her ever, and yet she votes Trump anyway. The propaganda out there is super addictive drug.
The problem is a lack of empathy and lack of knowledge about the context of everything (ie the humanities) - not simply a lack of critical thinking skills
Is not half of America.
It’s half of the HALF that votes.
The math shows 77 million of 340 million is actually 22% of America.
All we need to defeat the fascists forever is 1 person 1 vote & a multi party system with ranked choice voting.
Dems have ONE job. Set us free.

Right now Dems in the senate represent 44 million more people than the Republicans, yet they have the majority. System worked 250 years ago, not today.
This is madness but also predictable.
America has always been tilted toward capital. Started to serve white male land owners & every expansion was HARD won.
This fight for equity with wealthy straight white Xtian male supremacists has been waging ever since our founding (which was a genocide).
Exactly. Our “I told you so moment” isn’t very satisfying. It’s like if you told your kids not to play with fire and now your family is on the street watching your house burn proving you were right.
May I just say that I believe strongly that there were shenanigans around the last election. I expect it will come to light in the next few years. I think Russia has had their fingers in many elections in several countries.
Only a third. The other third didn’t vote. As they find out, let’s encourage them to participate. We can’t let the uninformed or crazy MAGA run this place.
Remember, part of the problem is something like 30% of eligible voters didn’t VOTE! Then again, this time maybe it wouldn’t have made a difference with all the CHEATING going on.
My question is- if the candidate can be a convicted felon, then why can't felons vote. ? There are 19 million of them. Maybe every governor of every blue state could issue blanket pardons. Let felons who satisfied their requirements cast votes, work, retain licensing, receive education grants ...
I’m right there with you. I’ve voted against the orange imbecile three times and I get to enjoy all his huge accomplishments in lowering taxes for the rich and lowering prices on GROCERIES etc. which he was never going to do. T gf ye all FA and we all FO.
FWIW it's only 31% of eligible voters voted for the insane old tyrant. 29% of us voted for the cheerful and smart lady. 40% of eligible voters can kick bricks as they couldn't be bothered to do the bare minimum self-government requires of them

Aim to the right target.
I seriously want to punch these ppl
Half the country is critical
of those who have thinking skills.
This is why MAGA absolutely despise Dr. Fauci.

GOP:
Keep 'em poor
Keep 'em dumb
Keep 'em sick

Education teaches critical thinking.

tRump did not win by a landslide, he’s lying.
DO SOMETHING
Musk, Bannon, and tRump (assassination) the Nazi salut. The purge (getting rid of government guardrail).Sending undocumented immigrants to Guantanamo (concentration camps).
Why do you assume the R's didn't stuff the ballot box?
That is probably a big part of the secret sauce.
Christians! Christians stormed our capitol and smeared their 💩.
Christians steal BILLIONS in unpaid taxes yearly to preach hate and politics from the pulpit.
Christians! Goddamned Christians!
We WILL get our nation back.
It is necessary and inevitable.
Probably one of the best ideas ever!
We share thousands of miles of border.
You guys NEED the department of Education.
No way!!
We are better than / smarter than ‘they’ are!
🤪😵💫🤪😵💫🤪
Another 1/3 of America never voted at all. So I place the percentage at 2/3.
If not, encourage your Congressperson to participate on March 4 in a SOTU WALKOUT!
Dems have an opportunity to show solidarity against the regime by walking out en masse as soon as he begins to speak.
Great Mardi Gras fun!
They don't like their towns being decimated by deindustrialization into a low-wage service economy.
Buddy, there's been 45 years of right-libertarian neoliberalism.
