Much as it would be nice to assume Trump cheated, there is no evidence and more over *no reason* to think he did.
America has *always* had a white nationalism problem. And there are enough people who are willing to allow white nationalism if it gets them what they want that Trump had a clear path.
You *need* to abandon First Past the Post and the two party system it enshrines.
You *need* to abolish the College of Electorates.
You need a proportional democracy where people's votes are meaningful.
Or this is just what business as usual will look like.
The Voters Rights Act was a thorn in the Republican's side, but they simply worked to find other ways to stop people from voting & to codify those ways into law. Jim Crow laws have simply evolved & now, where Republicans can, include white liberals, too.
I don't know what it is that you need clarifying.
America has a racism problem.
Trump appeals to that.
The Left didn't get out and vote, they were offered no reasonable candidate. The moderates didn't have enough numbers. Trump got more votes than the moderates.
No cheating required.
Sure, the Left didn't turn out, but it's also patently false to claim Trump and his enablers didn't cheat, and delusional to claim "no reason" to think he did.
Trump and MAGA meddled in our election here in Canada. You think they sat on their hands in their own election?
It's an interesting thing to look at. Stop for a second. I'm just talking about me and my mind. After Nazi Germany fell and Germany had recovered for the most part, at some point in-school required teaching about the Nazi rise to power, all of its elements and doings, and its fall. The
person who educated me on that told me that they drive it into their brains so hard that they get sick of listening to it. But they remember it.
That's the first thing that popped into my head here. I don't know anything about it more than you're posting right now. Just throwing it out there. 🤔
A result of the rampant imbecility dominating red states will be an out-migration of smart people & members of persecuted groups.
Reds will get even dumber, blues richer. The plan may be to get us to pay more to support them so they can listen to others read stories about cavemen riding dinosaurs.
Blue State secession should be imminent. Trump& Co. has dismantled our constitution. The contract with America is breached, so Canada, do you want productive, high functioning states with bright citizens? We are game.
Will they include the results of all of the legal challenges tRump and his team brought? Including the "under oath" statement of his lawyers that there was no fraud?
It’s Always Projection.
I first noticed it in the early 1990s, and it’s quite deliberate. The press commented on it as a clever ploy when Turdblossom was leading W Bush to the WH, although they focused on the “turn your opponent’s positive into a negative” aspect. All lies, of course, but so smart.
What is truly sad is that our legislature could have stopped this, but chose to ignore it and let it become the state standard. They let the MAGA idiot in charge of our schools have his way by not responding when they could. It's hard living in this much red and can't afford to leave.
Truly sorry for your state with this clown 😞if it happens in my state I would consider leaving if possible but for many people it’s just not easy to do
Since we are both over 70 it is truly daunting to have to think about packing up our lives and moving again. But believe me we have and still think of leaving this toxic place.
That is one smug looking dude. It must be really nice to know everything about our Earthly existence and to be absolutely certain of your knowledge. Wish I possessed the great wisdom and knowledge acquired at great cost by the Superintendent of Education in Oklahoma.
I had a staff member who had been home schooled he thought Jesus gave us democracy (Sermon on the Mount)and that the Germans in WW2 fought against the Communist so they were not bad
They always - always - project. They accuse everyone else of doing what they want to do. Want to predict the next right wing move? Just listen to what they are whining about.
There is a video of Walters teaching teachers how to “mention” the Tulsa Race Riot without using the word race. On next years school budget he is livid , he wanted them to REDUCE spending on education. 49th state in education so he wants less funds but he got increasing $ for his voucher program
Somehow this doesn't surprise me. I remember reading a statistic that 1 in 3 adults in Oklahoma was functionally illiterate, and after living there a few years, I believe it.
I guess they figure that teaching “Trumpism” isn’t indoctrination, even though it is. Everything “they want” is perfectly fine, they just won’t teach “liberal ideas” which are the basis of the Constitution, especially that part that speaks to free speech and freedom of religion. “Liberal” ideas.
So . . . children should be taught that LYING & CHEATING is a good thing⁉️ That belonging to the Trump Cult is a good thing⁉️ No wonder this state also requires Trump Bibles in every classroom - this is despicable indoctrination . . .😒
This is where I landed as well. The status quo seems to suit the suits. People can and are being lied to and misled. It’s about more than winning. There’s now no such thing as an honest race. Dems are swinging at phantoms. AI will only make it worse. Schumer’s playing pen pal.
I have been questioning that for over a decade, too. Rightwing media lies and pits us against each other. It’s very destructive. Yet, nothing is done to stop them and save the country. Lying with harmful intent shouldn’t be protected by the 1st Amendment.
In 2024, the Oklahoma State Education Department lowered the bar for scoring on State profiencicy tests so that their scores would improve on paper. Guess they're going to keep on lowering that bar.
Is the only thing connecting maga being racist b******. Because all the mag I know their families are not white they're mixed. So that's not a very good analogy of them they're hollering white supremacy but they're not all white.
Ryan Walters is a nut. He also wants the Bible taught in schools. Someone on MSNBC interviewed him, and he basically said if you're liberal, you aren't patriotic. If you're a Democrat, you're anti-American. Just came right out and said it.
There's a sex scandal in his future, I can just smell it.
Year is 2048.
Visitors from OK in Canada: “These are our kids: Don, Erik, Ivanka”
Canadian: “who’s the other one at the back?”
Visitor (big sigh): “Oh…that’s…ummm…Tiffany. But we learned in school to try and ignore as per King T’s teachings. May his name forever be sprayed in a loving golden shower”
Fine! They can begin by playing every second of the hour long phone call Trump made to Brad Raffensperger in his attempt to force him to commit electoral fraud. Then the teachers can simply ask the kids for their assessment. https://youtu.be/UhBxg17QqZ4
JFC! This dystopian nightmare just gets more & more fucked up every day. I keep thinking none of this is real, I'm dreaming, I'm in a coma & someone's going to wake me up. This is the most disturbingly surreal shit I've seen in my 73 years on this rock. WTAF!!!!!
If people haven’t realize it…then start f^cken NOW.
The GOP projects (accuse others, ex Dems) at everything they say because the evil GOP want to appear to your eyes that they’re your saviors and their policies will save you. It’s a crock of 💩, don’t be fooled by them.
Yes, when they risibly accused liberals of "indoctrination" for supporting real education, the teaching of real science, history, literature, philosophy and so on, they were pretty much telegraphing their intention of indoctrinating people into conservative, right wing views via faux "education."
The good universities need to stop accepting students from these states.. just automatic denial. There’s only one way ABs it’s brutally cutting these losers off from society until they change
These ass holes need to be stoped. Texas also passed a law to not give kids that dress like cats litter boxes lol . So stupid they passed a law to stop something that has never happened!
Just when you thought it couldn’t get dumber!! Someone created a historical inaccurate story about a crybaby orange narcissist losing an election because it was the will of the people.
'Students, here is the Trump election conspiracy history. It is total bullshit that couldn't stand up in a court of law, but led to an insurrection. Questions? Good. Test tomorrow.' Done and dusted.
Oklahoma is lost. Ryan Walters is “off” and is indoctrinating the children. He is hateful towards the teachers and the children and kids are suffering in last place in education. Separate church and state. Stop the indoctrination!
I live in Oklahoma, and it's getting worse by the minute. Last year I wouldn't put VOTE DEMOCRAT signs in my yard, because I feared someone might shoot me at the mailbox.
they don’t wanna teach about the 60 bomb threats in swing states and other discrepancies that happened in the 2024 election, including no recount unless each candidate was under 50% of the vote. There’s only one other person that won all of the swing states and that was Ronald Reagan in 1980.
I’m sure that the lesson plan includes teaching why those conspiracy theories were wrong, that no proof was offered or discovered, why the court cases were lost or dismissed and that many of the lawyers who brought the cases were sanctioned or lost their license to practice.
Mississippi and West Virginia constantly battle for dead last. Oklahoma is usually 35 or 36 consistently. Never improving. Just content with mediocrity.
I can believe Mississippi being in the bottom of the barrel territory with education as well. The most deep red states tend to have poor/bad education quality.
Honestly as someone who lives in Oklahoma and has a school aged child I can concur that the education system is lacking in Oklahoma. They’re so worried about “liberal indoctrination”. Meanwhile trying to force bibles and religion. While we’ve never been top teir we used to be so much better. Its sad
35th or 36th would have been believable a decade ago since 2021 I believe we’ve been in the bottom 5. It’s so sad we demonize education. It’s terrible we treat science as if it were the enemy. Imagine a world where we only did things that made sense.
Oklahoma consistently ranks 49th in education.
No surprise here.
The people of Oklahoma deserve better than promoting and teaching garbage conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that Trump LOST.
They could solve this by just teaching that the flat earth is only 4 years old, so there was no election in 2020, and the printing date of the trump bible proves it.
I wouldn't have a problem with this IF, and it's a BIG IF, they present facts and ONLY FACTS. I think that it would help kids with critical thinking skills.
Oklahoma...where the wind blows in one ear, thru an empty skull and out the other ear before sweeping down the plains.
But clearly...they can't teach the basic "three Rs" so what makes them think they can effectively teach the "legend of Trump".
Pedophiles, Politics and Projection.
Republicunts won't be happy until they make "Brown Shirts" out of every child in the Red States. Next, it will be pushed by everyone who thinks we need to go along to get along.
Democrats are at the cliffs edge. Don't back down. Fight with all your might. FDT
Unbelievably the state house didn’t give him the money for the bibles so now he has asked for private donations which, because it’s Oklahoma will flood in. The asshat REQUIRED all classrooms in Oklahoma to watch a video of him praying for tangerine in his car after the election.

Those kids deserve better.
My issue is with the wackos making these ridiculous laws.
Teaching that the 2020 election was stolen is NOT factual. It's indoctrination

Anyone claiming the '20 election was stolen should be prosecuted for fraud.

“Class dismissed.”
Republicans don't care if they are wrong or lie.

Seems fair...

Projection is the operating system—
turning self-doubt into blame, shame into strategy, and identity into a weapon.
It's not just psychological. It's political.

They have made some significant changes these past couple of years so, I feel they will be climbing up soon!
When facts become threats and delusion becomes doctrine, collapse isn’t just political—it’s intellectual.
End Times Fascism doesn’t fear failure.
It needs it.
Because ignorance isn’t a byproduct—it’s the plan.
