It really and truly is absolutely terrible that a person that crazy has a real shot at becoming president of the most powerful nation on the planet.

It is also a shame that the mainstream news keeps igoring all this batshit crazy talk along with the inciting violence and does fluff pieces where they explain what they think he means.
This stuff should be front page news every day. Put up the stuff Harris and Walz say too so there is a contrast with people who aren't crazy fascists.
Idk what schools are teaching now but current test schools would indicate it is certainly not reading, writing, or arithmetic.
Maybe the schools tend to be trying. But between having basically no disciplinary authority, no threat of failing kids because admin always makes sure kids pass, and chronic underfunding. You end up with the teachers trying to teach something basic while half the class is watching tiktoks on their phone, a quarter are talking to each other, and another quarter are skipping. And the teacher has basically no authority to do anything about it.
They can’t fail kids. Admin strongly pressures them not to send kids to prinicpal or detention because it’s a waste of admin’s time. So they can’t really do anything to get the class into check. In that environment, you end up teaching for the few kids that listen and passing everyone else with C’s at admin’s request.
This was my experience teaching a year in a “lower middle class” neighbourhood in the US. As a european it was massive culture shock.
And good fucking luck being more engaging than a tittok as a math teacher. I put hours of work into making engaging and participative lessons, almost felt like I had to plan a show instead of a lesson to keep the students engaged. And still was incredibly underwhelmed by kids participation.
I'm curious, what would happen if you failed kids anyway, despite the pressure from admin?
Probably lose my job if I do it regularly. And admin would not have my back when the parents inevitably come and complain and blame it on me and I’m not allowed to ignore them so it would really suck for a while.
I quit after the first year though. I signed up to be a teacher, not a babysitter.
Once again, Trump is making political satirists' job more difficult.
nope. it's super easy. The Onion is no longer Satire, they're just reporting the news.
I did leave for school and they taught me the tools necessary to understand my gender properly. And yeah those tools aren’t reading, writing, or arithmetic, it was calculus actually.
It’s the country of Lalalandburg and it’s located in the remote recesses of the back of a senile, irrelevant, and terrified old man’s head.
Sadly, whatever else is true about the orange shit bag, irrelevant isn't. We are forced to contend with his influence on a daily basis.
That just means we’re forced to deal with an irrelevant old man.
It’s possible you’re confused about the definition of the word “relevant”.
No. That’s not possible.
Just send your kid to school an even number of days...
Then send it back to school an it'll change back. Such a non issue...
And now they've been shot in school, thanks Obama

This only got overshadowed by his “they’re eating the cats and dogs“ quote. Aside from that, this may be one of the most insane things he’s said.
More insane than thinking Canada has a giant faucet that takes all the melt water from the polar ice cap and dumps it in the Pacific, instead of letting it run "down" to California?
Edit. Pluralised ice cap. I don't think even Trump is stupid enough to think the south pole's run off ends up in Canada.

"I don't want to get into the details."
Real "You guys weren’t going to fact check" energy.
The public isn't ready to hear about the Sissy-Hypno elective available after 9th grade.
No no Donnie I insist, please go into the details. Cuz I just got done helping the kids with their homework and it was all math and reading and spelling.
and why do you think they needed help with their math and reading homework? exactly….. because all they’re taught in school is how to be transgender
You didn't notice all the 7s were WOMEN! They used to be men but now they've switched it all up.
Exactly, ~~7~~ is a boy in continental Europe, but Anglo-Saxon soyboys transgenderized it into 7. (/s because I'm sure otherwise someone would take it seriously)
Just like the green M&M!
"I don't want to get into the details."
Yeah. I know. Because it doesn't farking happen
Would it be so terrible if your kid came home a different gender? Would they still be your kid? Would you still love them? There are worse things - like your kid coming home full of holes made by an AR-15.
I hate to say this, but I actually think there are plenty of Republicans that would disagree with you.

To a LOT of GOPers, the answer to all of those questions is "no". Part of our burgeoning homeless population here in the States is kids being thrown out of their house for being gay or trans or both or just curious. There are MULTIPLE charities to support kids who face JUST THAT. It's a serious issue.
What if the actual reason for an increasing number of LGBTQ people (besides society finally starting to treat them with some degree of basic acceptance that everyone deserves- still a long way to go, but it seems better than the past) was an ever increasing amount of estrogen antagonizing plastic pollution in our habitat? Would DJT favor more regulation of the plastics and chemical industries?
My guess is not. He mostly just wants to use some fictional boogeyman to further destroy our schools (very real measureable decline since he took office that people want to blame on covid rather than his appointee Betsy DeVos).

Either it takes such an effort to get menstrual products into schools that it gets you a fun nickname, or we're doing reassignment surgery during health class.
Pick a lane lol
Don't forget the litter boxes!!
I didn't hear about this, would you mind explaining? I can already tell it's some unhinged republican speaking point.
This is the biggest "fuck you" to teachers...
If Trump spent 1 day in a fucking public school I feel his tune would change.

It absolutely would not.
No. Nothing can change his tune: reality has no impact on his tune, being wrong, being absurd, being called out, nothing. Actually not changing his tune is basically his core messaging strategy. That piece of shit...

Honestly it sounds like Canada (minus the transgender panic). Trump is a POS but that doesn't mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.
My wife teaches college and trade school and the quality of incoming students declines every year as since Covid for some reason the public schools have had very low requirements for passing a grade level. Some can't even add fractions. Most can't rearrange an equation. A large fraction panic and have anxiety attacks when taking tests, and just stare at the paper like a deer in the headlights.
My daughter is now in grade 5 and they were teaching them practically nothing and not even grading them. Just "good" "adequate" or "poor" based on how well the teacher "thinks they know the material". No discipline, no challenge. And it honestly seems true that they're teaching more cultural topics and less core math/science/English.
Thankfully she has a teacher and an engineer for parents, is a voracious reader and we've taught her math and programming at home. Pulled her out of the public system this year and she's suddenly telling us what she learned and is excited to go to school...
Sure, schools need improvement, but if you think electing the Conservatives is going to improve our schools, you're a worse joke than the schools are
Trump is a POS but that doesn't mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.
Yeah, but the declining quality is because of people like him who are making sure good education must be paid for, and this rambling again is just a way to get people worked up against a non-issue to deteriorate the education system further. There's no "education is threatened" in that message because the base doesn't care, either because they don't value education or because they don't think it should be available to poor people.
I recall the old Bugs Bunny cartoons and the rascally rabbit dressed up as a woman. The MAGATs are regressive turds.

No, you're thinking of that coffin in Dark Souls. Completely different thing, though I understand if you're a complete moron it can be confusing.
What the heck, this is real?!
I thought you were just being silly.
