“But because we've trained all our intelligence to ignore complexity, and because we put all our intelligence into suppressing complexity, our intelligence fails in the face of complexity.”

That's because everyone 's been teaching to the test, & if the test scores aren't up to snuff, no💰, which of course, always helps everything, (less resources.)
Inciting intense emotion by e.g. fear/rage/hate/grievance mongering--which Right Wing media & social media do incessantly-- can hamper critical thinking & impair judgement.
Many Trumpes use critical thinking skills in areas where they haven't been incited to feel fear, rage, disgust etc.
I have engaged with folks on Facebook that truly believe that USAID sent 50 million dollars to Gaza( one person embellished it and said Hamas) for condoms. Everything that we see is good for our country, and Joe is a Pedo, etc. I go off the deep end and try to insult, and berate them to no avail.
It’s always going to gnaw at so many of us who are NOT conspiracy theorists, just people who have made the very same observations as listed above and are flabbergasted Kamala gave up so easily and that there was not a concerted effort to look into any of these incidents.
The politics would have been Trump sycophants screaming Dem hypocrisy in challenging the steal; while they would use it as a launching pad to squawk it was proof that the 2020 election was stolen.
Next 4 years we illustrate the truth of Trump's 2nd Oval steal.
True but I’m also not too reassured by how our elected officials have dealt with the criminals who told us they were going to steal the election (Mike Johnson’s “little secret”) then did it. And not a peep from Democrats, not even a recount. I don’t know which is worse, stupid or weak.
then u realize that our leadership sold us out and is still doing it, pretending that shame, stern letters and pointless lawsuits that will be destroyed by the criminal SCOTUS are effective resistance
Dormant neanderthal DNA is becoming dominant in America.
In another 2 decades, they will have lost to speak.
For the MAGA Morons it is already impossible to form a coherent sentence.
In 2012 they officially made it a plank in their platform to stop teaching critical thinking skills
Their excuse was it would cause children to question what their parents had taught them. But really, they didn't want anyone questioning what they were doing
I’m ok with them messing up their lives by their own decisions. We all do that. But I am really not okay with them threatening my freedom, and even life, through their actions and decisions. It’s like secondhand smoke politics.
Our forefathers knew…it’s education! We need a quality public education system, like they planned knowing Democracy would only survive with an educated populace. #education
When it was crystal clear that this was the plan all along and it was fascism vs working to move forward, the message could not have been clearer! WHY do Democrats need to speak personally to you but Republicans can spout their plans and it’s 🤷♀️?
And this is why I say schools need to change three of the most important things civics and economics must be full classes and you really have to work on getting people to read because when the collective grade level for reading is sixth grade for Americans, that’s not good
🧵 OK, I'm going 2 🛑 u right there & beg u 2 🤔 about what u r doing after you ingest some facts.
1. @democracydocket.com has been fighting not just Trump but the entire GOP's disenfranchising campaigns in swing states, which worked in the '24 election;
Trump is as illegitimate a president as George W. Bush was.
STOP BLAMING YOUR FELLOW AMERICANS FOR THIS MESS. We MUST come together and find ways to speak to those with whom we disagree

It took years to finally count the Florida 2000 ballots that were being legally recounted until a corrupt state AG stepped in and a corrupt SCOTUS validated her extrajudicial activism. Only then did we find out Gore won. So we can deduce 2 things: the process to validate elections must be fixed, and
4. The 2024 vote has yet to be 'trued' because of these reasons. omeone from Erie County, PA, responded to an earlier of my post on this saying she knew many Dem voters that didn't have the chance to vote despite last-minute favorable judicial intervention, including out-of-state students.
3. One of the very accomplished DOGE delinquents, Ethan Shaotran, wrote a computer software program, BallotProof, that's supposed to scan and detect anomalies of cast ballots that is said to have a 'back door,' which can flip votes;
2. @electiontruth.bsky.social has discovered statistical evidence indicating vote manipulation in several swing states, including Clark County, Nevada, by analyzing 'drop-off' votes - those for the top of the ticket that don't match down-ballott votes by party;

(and we're not even sure that was totally legit?)
The states failed to educate the people, on purpose.
We made slavery illegal, so conservatives turned to for-profit-prisons. Once you understand how much money they make from suffering?
Everything they do makes sense.
Damn I never
Got prepared for
A complete takeover with out
Are Military stepping in.
