Tennessee is a lost cause.
Everything north and west of Jackson is str8 up Nazi territory. I’ve been there. It’s actually kinda scary. Some serious Stepford vibes there.

He thinks that’s great, because he’ll get his cut.

Tennessee is a “taker” State(they receive more money from the Federal Government than they contribute)… why would a State like California continue to send $ to the Federal Government to support this chaos when trump wants to do away with FEMA?

Good thing Tennessee is such an economic powerhouse. Right?

"He knows those computers better than anybody. All those computers. Those vote-counting computers," Trump told the crowd. "And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide."

They want indoctrination, not education. They can't separate church from state, and their idea of "church" has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus. It is divisive, not inclusive. It feeds on marginalization, not acceptance. It is about teaching selective history that supports their narrative.

They are literally anti-Christ.
The Bible tells us all about them.

rickclark.bsky.social•19 days ago

trump is the embodiment of obscene hubris and zero empathy. Evangelicals and "christian" nationalists love him, which is reason enough to think trump's an anti-christ. Their support of him is the perfect excuse for most of the public to shun the institution of organized religion. Follow the money.

Who knew that we had so much money to burn?

Keep that in mind when you examine the numbers on our poverty rates, our illiteracy rates, and our bad health.

Ohio is just under 1B in one year of voucher expansion. 🥴

As someone who has written fiscal notes my jaw is on the floor! I’ve never seen a state bill with a fiscal note that high in my career.

What an unconscionable burden to place on the people of Tennessee. This locks in a future of low wage jobs and poverty for generations.

It’s happening here in Idaho too. Religious schools, charter schools, and home schools reap the benefit with little accountability for the money. All the while taking money from kids who really want to learn so they can advance themselves. I’m trying not to feel helpless, but it’s all overwhelming.

Obviously Tennessee voters either don’t care or are stupid since they embrace grifters like Lee at the polls.

And your kid in that religious private school is still getting a shit education. Not that the parents who support these vouchers much care.

thewiserose.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's what happened in AZ....

The Tennessee Holler is doing the best reporting on Bill Lee's voucher scheme, hands down. Good work.
