Blame the rise of social media and the death of newspapers, too.
People believe anything they see on Facebook and other social media sites.
They don't know that Fox News is fake.
As local newspapers declined, Trump started to rise.
The average American reads at or below a sixth grade level. Which is sad and horrific. That is why Republicans want to destroy education. An uneducated population is much easier to control.
I think English is fluid and using immigrant people can't hurt. I did not include it because it is a noun not an adjective. Using an adjective in place of a noun is hurtful and causes harm. Feel free to say people who have immigrated all you want. Just don't call people "the gays". Get it?
Yes the end part makes sense. But the parts of speech things never has made sense to me lol. But I can “feel” when something is “off” when it’s written or spoken.
If @crawfordforwi.bsky.social @gayforcongress.bsky.social and @joshweil.bsky.social win on Tuesday, we know that they haven't been able to completely wiped out election integrity yet.
@elienyc.bsky.social on @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social made the very good point that registering to vote should be as easy as ordering from Amazon. Maybe democracy "consumers" could at least read the ratings on what they're gonna "buy"?
I don't think it's so much uneducated voters, as it is voters that would endure anything to cause pain or death to the" others" in our society . They hate the same people that FOTUS hates so anything goes for them. No price is too great, till it effects them personally
🙄the transphobia is showing here. How are transgender people a threat at all? To anyone?
And immigrants keep your country fonctionning. Try again with billionaires and racists; it rolls off the tongue
I ask myself the same every day! Are Americans waiting for an official announcement like in Wicked?
The wicked witch, she’s dead!
DEMOCRACY DIED 2 months ago!
Long response: I don’t believe it’s negligence. There’s a few factors here.
#1 drumpf has taken less than 3 months to do what historically takes 8 to 10 years or more moving in the direction of dictatorship. That’s FAST. Leaving the PEOPLE struggling to react constructively. Very basically.
#2 we are of a country of fiercely independent individuals. A whole lot of “you can’t tell me what to do!” and “I won’t do it just because you told me to”. And so much self centeredness. The only person who matters is you. Too much of a good thing is bad. 😮💨
#3 much of our country is illiterate and uneducated. For decades our education system has been deliberately dumbed down. A passing HS/College grade? D. (huge subject here) if you can’t read, you’re not gonna learn. If you believe science is lying to you, you’ll fall for everything.
Ok but…. I can’t believe that that’s a comparison that anybody needs to make. Least of all a comparison that needs even a nanosecond of debate. But here we are.
Physical revolt?
Against a sociopath with Reaper drones at his command and a complicit SCOTUS in his back pocket?
IMHO, broad public sentiment will have to swing and move a lot of Americans to stop listening to FAUX "news" and voting against their own best interests, in order to fix this.

I’m not a grammar expert or English professor. 🙂
If not, we will need bolder solutions.

We bring our FURY at being held hostage by evil
