He could have been our vice president. We could be living in a country led by people who are intelligent, compassionate and effective. Hard to believe half of the voters instead settled for trump, vance, musk, bondi, kennedy and the list of vindictive, incompetent self serving hacks goes on and on
Putting an ex-CIA Director into the presidency was supposed to be a no, no. Putting his corrupt son into office and starting a war for oil sure got people on their side though. Funny....the only American flags flying from vehicles these days seems to come from proud boys.
Democrats could have improved education at any point and chose not to They are complicit
They work for capitalism
Fascism is capitalism
The solution is anticapitalist
You have to take their power away and their ability to get it back You do this by nationalising everything and deleting the wealth
Republicans have been dumbing down America for decades.This is how Trump got his uneducated clan to vote for him. 48% of America is on a 5th grade reading level with an IQ of < 70. This is the only way that republicans can stay in power, & 3 days ago, Trump cut $100 million in school lunch programs.
Well, you have people who are intelligent and won’t tolerate it! He doesn’t like people who are smart. He wants some dumb so they’re easier to control!
Fuck Israel free palistine. https://Pslweb.org legitimately care about people They're out in the world organizing for a better world. Unlike elected people on book tours. Ignoring people who voted for them. Not talking about what needs doing if elected. JUST DOING IT ALL THE TIME
That’s been the Repub long game since before No Child Left Behind. The rich get taxpayer $ to send their kids to charter schools and the public schools churn out cannon fodder
Plus if you provide equal education for all, after we close the doors to immigration, who is gonna work in the fields and factories. Poor American kids. Back to the gilded age.
You have to take in consideration that trump is 78 years old.
His life is almost over. The years 2023-24 was very difficult for him because of the criminals charges against him. He was almost certain to go to prison.
He never stopped running he knows exactly what he is doing
I think he was genuinely surprised he got voted out
Fascist media didn't have the pull he thought it did
no doubt he has studied the fascist playbook thoroughly
He is on track destabilising the country so he can declare state of emergency
I watched Russians being interviewed as family members of prisoners (majority not from Moscow). They are uneducated and unable to use critical thinking. trump wants to be just like putin, and now we all suffer. Canadians say f off NEVER 51st.
20 years ago I saw this coming. The dumbing down of America. First; It was with education and schools and TV reality shows that were really stupid and I couldn’t believe people watch that.
Our nation and the world deserve so much better than what we are getting from POTUS, his minions, the U.S. Congress and those that support them in overturning the U.S. Constitution, Justice, the Rule of Law, kindness, compassion and decency in the Government of the United States of America. 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦
It isnt just that. If you don't teach Civics, Problems of American Democracy and US History , the new populace isnt aware of the Constitution, the Laws of the Land, and the History of the US. Revisionist History will take its place.
I literally knocked on a door this past election, talked to a woman ( not my contact- but happened to be there) who liked the Dem candidate I was talking about, then asked if it was possible to vote for Dem candidate and vote Republican for other positions.
They already failed at that because we that matter know and I am sick of acting like we should just wait and let someone else decide our countries fate!!
Public education is no longer reliable, it hasn't been for decades. We are living in a time when cursive writing looks like hieroglyphs to the average 5th grader. It is time for those that can teach to teach.
DON'T ALLOW THE AUTHORITARIANS TO DUMB YOU DOWN !! STAY SHARP & AWARE !! MAKE EVERYONE AWARE THAT BLUESKY EXISTS & IS HERE TO HELP THEM REALLY UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON !!
Ok there is a severe lack of critical thinking skills caused by the system that is already there. These idiots want to go back before the industrial revolution when schooling wasn't free and ten year olds worked in factories. America is already dumbed down as 54% can't read past a 6th grade level .
"We should never forget that everything Adolf Hitler did in Germany was "legal" and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was "illegal." It was "illegal" to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler's Germany. "
I like Tim Walz. Has a solid, tolerant value system. Makes Tubbyvile look like the POS lying fool he really is manipulating those Alabama-FloriDUH 'racist baller Bubbas.'
Public education needs to take a hard look in the mirror. They are one of the reasons we are where we are! I’m a supporter of public schools but they haven’t been doing a good job of educating kids. When the average reading level is between 5-6th grade we have a problem!
Call your legislators red or blue and let them know what’s on your mind. This is a tool recommended by the Meidas Touch Network who says calling makes politicians cave more than emails.
We call every day in our family, even though we’re in Ohio. We’ve yet to receive any replies, but I feel like even if they ignore us, I imagine they still eye the high volume of calls, emails, letters, etc & it is taking up rental space in their brains. Peer pressure from multiple sources. Protest!💙
Is this why cursive is no longer being taught in schools? So eventually there won’t be anyone who can read the Constitution or Declaration of Independence? 🤔
The Dems like lip service resistance because it makes it easier to run an authoritarian government if the authoritarians have collaborators to sell out their constituents.
I hate to break it to Tim, but America has been getting dumber since the advent of the internet, google search engine and social media. This is a long game on how to break the back of democracy by just a few in the guise of making life “easier”. And could we learn to write whole sentences again?
I believe it started with fast food, especially once drive throughs were established, and the readily availability of some of the stupidest drugs ever imagined....alcohol, speed, animal tranquilizers, heroin in all it's forms, and the inability to teach a kid something for fear of parental reprisal.
It's always been a thing a ruling class has controlled education and all information media for decades upon decades even well educated liberals hold propagandised beliefs that they've never questioned and are just as reactionary as conservatives when questioned on them
i think it's when the Republicans demonized education and teachers. caused the collapse in 2008 when they fired so many teachers. they also continuously underfund education and underpay teachers.
Anita Bryant was a leader of not allowing teachers to answer kid's questions in the '70s.
Being stupid herself, she thought gays were the reason for moral decay, and not some make believe religion that has nothing to do with spirituality forced upon the little future voter's of America.

Your observation is spot on. The trend of undermining public education has indeed been ongoing for years. This persistent issue highlights the importance of staying vigilant and advocating for accessible, quality education for all.
An informed and educated population is crucial for the health of any democracy, and it's essential to continue pushing back against efforts to weaken public education systems. Let's keep the conversation going and work towards positive change.
I still think of reading the Handmaids Tale in HS and thinking this could never happen and it also sounded like hell on earth. Yet here we are. W only minor changes
So many even progressive thinking Americans still can't see that there is already a dictatorship in the land of democracy. It started with the Orange's speech on the inauguration day. Since then, everything he says and his administration does is a pure and clear dictatorship. Wake up, people!
GOP intentions in policy since the 80s… connecting property taxes = school funding, redistricting, school board budgeting processes. We built the Dept. of Edu to level the inequalities and segregation because Republican led states were ignored and left to fail.
Walz and Bernie in the belly of MAGA is way to divide and conquer the fringe .. MAGA... and CHUCK..needs to learn from them.. but CHUCK is all about power and CHUCK.. asshole. @schumer.senate.gov

He ran again for potus because of that.
I think his mandate is only retaliation.

But still, you have nothing to loose to make a nice hole in his ugly forhead :):):)

And yes, having an uninformed electorate who cannot figure things out for themselves was their goal.
Dismantle education and we’ll teach for free. Free education is already available, in fact.
That 🍊💩 "loves the poorly educated" the same way a rapist "loves women". F#@k this dude.

America used to be a leader, but now we’re a bunch of losers. It makes me sick.
Straight out of the fascist playbook.
