Hopefully they'll be taught that laws are only as good as the people who uphold them. And also that there is no one coming to save us (them) & they need to be involved, engaged & vote, if that's still a thing in their time.
We should not be blaming ourselves. This has been a 40 year plan to take over our govt by right wing fascists. People are too young to remember the Reagan shit show. They captured the SCOTUS and gerrymandered states so that no Democrat could ever win. Been fighting these assholes since the 60's.
I hope they leave in the parts about MAGA believing dems can control the weather, climate change is a hoax, vaccines are mind control, and the other idiotic shit so future humans will know just how dumb this group was.
I think most people in Congress have or had successful careers out of government. It's not like if they lose office they'll be unemployed. So what is the absolute reason that so many would turn on the Constitution and entertain this 💩show, and go against their oaths, to so desperately stay in DC?
Sure. But nothing virtuous. Not "love of country", and from a Christian perspective, not love of thy neighbor. They fail on all fronts. Which is why they are not worthy of leadership, ESPECIALLY in a Christian country.
I don't BELIEVE these people are CHRISTIAN! They use that as a way to gain trust and VOTES! Unfortunately, people ignore the behavior of these DEMONS and subscribe to the word "Christian", like a cult.
Jim jones had followers too.
that's why i tell my kids to pay attention to everything that's going on now so in the future when they try to rewrite this mess, they can call bullshit, like people my age and the Reagan years, i sure don't remember the rosey picture they paint of then now.
The cowards of the Weimar Republic caved to Hitler and we have caved to trump. Sadly we will probably have the same results with even worse consequences.
We are surrounded by cowards. Even at this last moment - Biden, Garland & the rest of the Dems have two more days of power with no consequences, still they refuse to do anything. At the very least, release the entire Jack Smith report! Screw 'the norms'! My God.
Accountability. Democracy means people make decisions. And they have to be accountable for them. Finding someone/thing to blame is just a way to shirk responsibility.
Ikr? I don't know why we are handing our country over to proven fascists/Authoritarians. He has the blessing of SCOTUS to do ANYTHING THAT IS OFFICIAL DUTIES. How can we stop it? We can only look at the impending implosions.
Imagine all those folks voted last November instead of sitting at home on their "principled" asses because they didn't agree 100% with Kamala's positions on every issue. Or perhaps they believed Trump's term ended before March, 2020.
Did you hear big brave ICE agents have put off their raids in Chicago because media released the info so they might not be able to throw enough immigrants into concentration camp quite yet.
Keep announcing those raids dates & locales folks.
ICE agents apparently as low life cowards as the felon.
It won’t matter what your rights are, with complete immunity and the power to pardon #SCOTUS has screwed everyone. They meant it for black and brown ppl but it will expand.
Horrible as it is, this is clearly performative, hence the targeting their favorite bette noire city of Chicago. The size of the operation is by no means unprecedented (300 targets) but it will give the MAGAts the red meat they desire. Will it continue thusly? Who knows.
Now we find out what limitations on voting our local and state legislators are plotting / enacting so that we can ensure free and fair elections actually happen again.
If someone doesn't do something, we will. EASILY. These cabinet nominations, if confirmed, will open up more of the country's secrets to individuals who shouldn't have the jobs they have now. Like weapons, you can't give power to the criminal or stupid. They'll be like a monkey with a machine gun.
Yes; I’ve been asking it for literally years, watching as our “guardrails of democracy” crumbled like paper tigers under the feckless “leadership” of Merrick Garland and his ilk. We have been betrayed by every leader who failed to enforce the 14th Amendment section 3 though they had power to do so.
I find it seriously fucked up that the ones who read the books are forced to relive it again because those who denied the truth of it all are in control. FUUCK!
Because we elected an feckless old man who should have retired decades ago who gave us the impression he would only serve for one term. He tried to implement primitive politics in dealing with a new breed of corrupt politicians. He was though clever enough to help his degenerate failson at the end .
Sad part is the Boomers asked the same questions about Hitler's rise to power when they were in school. They've forgotten what their parents fought for.
At the age of 3 I was at a football game when the color guard passed. I yelled, “My dad was a Marine. He won the war.” Today I have all 250+ letters from the S. Pacific he wrote his parents. I won’t forget.
Our parents lived through and fought that war, we did not. No 1st hand memories. The people who experienced and suffered through the war are almost all dead.
Boomer here. My parents were children in WWII, but I know exactly why we're were supposed to be fighting. And I know who supported fascism then, and I know who supports it now. It's not me. How many young people voted for Trump?
The first go-round with this twit made me a monthly donor to the ACLu and that donation crept up through his term. I'm considering whether the budget can support another increase. I kept saying before that his presidency was job security for ACLU lawyers and we're about to need them more than ever.
As I like to say to the 18-20-somethings who can't be bothered to pay attention, "Voting would have been a lot easier than what you're going to face now."
Some of us (75 million) Americans voted for sanity, but (167 million) Americans said fuck it, let’s try Fascism and see how it feels , see how many humans it kills!

So many just didn’t care.
Or: #7mountains doctrine;
and next the whole world.
Jim jones had followers too.
Also, "There were so many previous examples to learn from, so why did history repeat itself so easily?".
Humans do seem to naturally have an inclination to have to personally experience something to learn from it.
Accountability. Democracy means people make decisions. And they have to be accountable for them. Finding someone/thing to blame is just a way to shirk responsibility.
I honestly don't know what more I could have done.
We're here now because of them and their apathy.

All we needed was a few million more.
This is not to say that our problems would have been solved.
The Heritage Foundation was not going to go away.
But we would have had a chance.
What's in it for You????
Please share so others are aware of their rights and numbers to call.

I find this mess incomprehensible. This is NOT 1933 Germany. It’s worse. We knew of that and still THIS!?
Sounds like Gen Z were never taught about those things.
And OUR turn to tell them:
Because ya just CAN'T fix STOOPID!
The difference is the backing of the wealthy
That's what happened over the last 30 years. The gop bribed the wealthy with tax loopholes, sec hands off policy, and deregulation
The same thing happened in Germany. And the wealthy walked free
Eventually we'll pay a price, let's see what the price will be.
Tell them “because terrified voters were watching FOX propaganda and didn’t know what that was or how to properly respond to it.
