The whole "I didn't think the bad things would happen to me" is such a sadistic take because it means they pictured it happening to others and STILL were in favour of it.
Let me start by saying I am not a Trump supporter. The statement in this video is misleading.The state of Oklahoma deciding to spend what little money they had left in their budget on Bibles for schools has little to do with Trump being elected or not. That is a matter decided by the state board of education. It is something they would have done even if Kamala Harris were elected. The Neoliberal Corporate Democrats are not going to do anything to curb corporate power, bring down inflation and reduce the cost of living.That is why they lost. Even if voters fell for Trumps lies the Democrats do not have a coherent strategy or message other than Trump is a Fascist. Why, because they side with special interests and the donors who big corporate lobbyists represent.
@@ronhall3686 quite true. They say the victims cause the problem. There will be more and louder complaints from billionaires when Trump begins to rob and imprison us for dissent. When he damages the economy, jails journalists and cuts Social Security, he will say it was who actually did it. Buckle up, Pilgrim.
I talked to quite a few Trump supporters before the election. They were really excited to vote for policies he didn’t have. Loved qualities about him that Trump doesn’t possess. They were determined to vote against policies that Kamala Harris wasn’t running on and told me all the things they didn’t like about Harris that had no relationship to her. Trump supporters just had a fantasy election, and now their fantasy is crashing into the reality of what they actually voted for.
So true. there is a huge disconnect between what policies and characteristics they support vs who they vote for. And I just cannot believe the problem has to do with ignorance alone.
Your statement is 100% correct. The only problem,,, the fallout from their choice will be blamed on Biden or Democrats. Who had nothing to do with it. Once again filling their fantasy.
@@GuyIllusionThe ignorance excuse is totally invalid, because we live in the times where all the information we could ever want and more is literally in the palm of our hands. I have zero empathy for those who didn't do their due diligence, and instead decided to believe" They are eating the dogs, they are eating the cats, they are eating the pets if the people who live there."
I work with a MAGA guy who was complaining that his expanded Medicaid might be going away. He actually said "Why can't everybody in the country just pay, like, $100, so everybody could get insurance?" I told him that's called Universal Healthcare, and that's exactly what Democrats would like to do but Republicans are 100% against it. He had no clue about any of this, but he's been crowing about trump beating 'Kamala' for weeks now.
One of my HS friends is a huge MAGA head. He was attacking me for my support of "socialism", and then the next week he's posting on FB about how he'd just moved to Texas, and his school doesn't have the support his special needs son requires. I responded, "Well, Maryland provides that to kids, but you have to pay taxes for those programs to exist."
And the two biggest sources of that are unlimited corporate spending on propaganda against science (to discredit potential regulations) and the inane insanity that has been GW's "No Child Left Behind" that put all school focus on testing and weakened trying to teach understanding, thinking, civics, art, or anything you can't fill in a bubble for. And every president since just keeps it going, with Obama using it to add Common Core instead of taking it down. Frustrates me so much and now we have a whole generation raised with that shit running that aren't taught how to judge information going into the densest storm of misinformation humanity has ever known.
I agree but we've almost made it through four years of Alzheimer's Joe. No more Joe wandering aimlessly at public appearances trying to shake hands with people who only he can see. But you shouldn't call him stupid. He's sick.
This is miseducation is 100% on purpose, because these people haven’t had the resources to be taught critical thinking skills. It is quite literally what happened in the Western Roman Empire over its last 150yrs, before the remnant converted fully into the Catholic Church. Their “public system,” based on Jewish teaching traditions, was taking off; but it was a threat to the Emperor. So, they went back to their roots and reimplemented their old Greek “SA your kids in exchange for an education” model. One that leaves 7/8ths of the population as only Home Educated, at best. Their Military & Political Class suffered first with allegiance-based political appointees only from the “educated (& sadistic)” Class; instead of the *very diverse* merit-based system that had grown the Empire to its peak of strength.

As someone from outside the US, I used to watch those westerns on TV where you'd see a snake-oil salesman conning whole communities out of their money, and I'd think "That's just exaggeration and stereotyping. No-one can be that gullible." Now I know different.
I used to wonder about those dc animated movies where lex luthor was voted president. Always thought it was wishful thinking. Now I know it’s completely feasible.
Same. I have lost count of the American movies and TV series when I thought “screenwriters have gone wild on that! So unrealistic I can’t enjoy the movie because it’s too far fetched.” Then, since the internet and RUclips I have realized that those weren’t exaggeration at all.
Yeah, I live here in the US, and I'm flabbergasted too. I've been having dreams recently where I run into a random trumper IRL and ask them why they voted that way just so that I can get a modicum of understanding of why.
Just like all the people with undocumented immigrant relatives in the country believed that _they_ wouldn't be deported because they're *good* immigrants. Once the thuggish Homan sets quotas for ICE, you know the first targets are going to be people working in legal jobs because they're easy to round up. Why risk your life trying to apprehend armed criminals when you can surround a building site or meat plant and demand to see proof of citizenship and Green Cards?
Right?? To steal a old tumblr joke, "I know I voted for the 'Leopards Eating Vulnerable Peoples' Faces' party but I didn't think the leopards would eat MY son's face!"

I have a cousin who lives off of disability and other benefits. He voted for Trump in 2016 and had to move in with my aunt after his disability benefits were slashed. He got his own place again in 2021 but I recently learned that he voted for Trump again in 2024. He lived through Trumps first term, he was there, he experienced first hand what those policies did to him and he voted for him again while still living off government handouts. 😭

I legit have to wait at the bus stop near a guy who sit there every morning to watch the birds. He's in section 8 housing, rent-controlled fixed-income situation based on having broken his back when he was 26 (50 now) and being on full disability since 2002. He voted for trump, and spends every morning talking about how he hates people who don't work for a living, and leech off the system. I finally looked at him after about a year of listening to him, and asked "So what do you do for a living?" And he blithely replied "I'm disabled. Obama wants to kick people like me to the curb." What the ACTUAL heck?
As long as Trump hates who they hate, it's easy to ignore everything else, apparently. If he loses what he's got, he'll still blame Dems... despite it being a 100% controlled republican country.
Guy's brain was seriously damaged in the accident that broke his back. He's delusional, for one thing. When his benefits get cut, he will suffer for being so stupid.
He's been in office before, we watched January 6th happen, he's literally a felon and a rapist found guilty in a court of law. This isn't failing an open book test, this is failing the RETEST for an open book test.
Yes, he was found liable for sexual assault, sweetie. As for January 6, the 34-times criminally convicted felon told the security people to "take down the mags" (ie, metal detectors), and that "they're not gonna hurt me" (if any firearms did make their way into the assembled crowd at the ellipse.) And then proceeded to sit on his hands watching the violence on TV for 3 hours while his Vice President came within 40 feet of being executed. But oh no, hes soooo innocent.

This is similar to all the complaining from the Brits after they voted to leave the EU. I was laughing then (because they are so super critical of the US,) and I'm laughing at MAGA now. I hope my grandkids (yet unborn) have fun protesting, demonstrating, and marching for the next 50 years trying to regain the freedoms the MAGA crowd threw away.
Oh! More like Iran! I remember the college kids in Iran marching to kick out the Shaw and install Khomeini! Just a few years later they were all begging for help! As if they themselves hadn't caused the problem! That gave me a real sense of satisfaction.
this is gonna be similar to brexit, albeit with a country with the strongest military in the world I'm hearing the reparations will take AT LEAST 40 years, if our country even lasts that long.
No one’s grandkids are going to be having fun in 50 years. Extreme weather is going to be exceedingly destructive. Among other things, it’s going to be much harder to grow food and have safe housing.
Hoping there is still an America for them to demonstrate in. And before anyone jumps down my throat I was born and raised in Texas. I am an American citizen.
MAGA cultists just aren't informed by anything but their media box that is allowed to lie to them. They probably didn't even know how Britain fared after Brexit, because they don't care to be informed. They are a voting bloc that voted entirely off what the politician told them, reliant on no actual facts, because "everyone else but me is lying".
A buddy of 40+ years turns out was a Trump supporter. We had a one-hour txt msg exchange between us (an hour of my life I'll never get back)...and in the end I decided to stop contact with him and block him on my social media.

there are SO many, TOO many of us who feel like this. I can't believe my women friends, voted for this. One was a therapist for 40 years working with abused women and she voted for Trump. Go figure
Same, I've fallen out of contact with a buddy of forty years who's an ardent Trump supporter. I tried to understand his points of view, but he was only interested in discussions or topics which led to a "Trump is good and correct" conclusion. Principles or consistency didn't matter. When I told him it's a good idea to consume a variety of news sources, he shook his head and said simply, "I watch FOX."

It's mostly likely that Fox didn't air the story, and cut away from any mention of it in the MAGA rallies. MAGA doesn't know about most that's going on, as their sources are Fox, Newsmax, and religion.
Most education stuff is handled at the state level. It's only the federal dept of education that they are talking about. It's understandable that people might not know which things are federal or state level. I would have expected most special needs stuff would be at the state level. It might not make much difference.

as an educator, I completely agree. I agree the board of education needs to be reworked and states need to have greater control over their states education - BUT - replacing proven forms of education with christian nationalist ideology is NOT what the founding fathers had in mind. We have a separation of church and state for a reason. If you want your child to have a christian education - there are plenty of places to send them to receive this. If you want this type of education in the US, then churches should be taxed. Period.
@@frederickmiller5492 Speaking as a devout Christian, the "Bibles in schools" thing frightens me. Why? Because those are *Protestant* Bibles. And I'm a *Catholic.* I know it sounds like self-interest, but I mean it as an example: my right to freedom of religion (freedom to not be Protestant) is dependent on my Muslim neighbor's freedom to not be Christian, my Hindu neighbor's freedom to not be an atheist, my agnostic neighbor's freedom to not be Buddhist. Freedom of religion is a non-aggression pact, and they just blew the top off it. I know a lot of Catholics who are currently cheering this right now, that they're "putting God back in schools," and I want to shove them in front of the Ten Commandments poster they're putting in these schools and make them reread it until they realize, "Hang on...isn't this the Protestant version???" YEAH, man. YEAH. IT IS. Because in case you forgot, WE'RE A MINORITY RELIGION IN THIS COUNTRY.

One of the most important things that I noticed gets left out of discussing how far Black folks have come during Black History month is that not all slaves believed they were free. There were some who stayed slaves. The Underground Railroad had many failed attempts for folks who could have escaped but were “willfully ignorant.” Consider the inhibitions. And then reconsider that these people are the modern slaves of capitalism and purity culture. Are you aware that they have education kept from them by their leaders? Are you aware that dopamine fixing hobbies are kept from them culturally, a fundamental part of healing decision fatigue and brain fog? Consider that these people are disabled to know what we know, on purpose. If they are being attacked with culture to keep them making babies and working until they die, then that indeed would be a hard type of slavery to identify and target. Harder still because of the volume. A new movement has begun to free these people. And it means stealing the slaves from their captors. Become Daryl Davis if you wish to do something. We cannot change this alone, but there is hope. We can change it together. It will be a task for the rest of our lives, but we will be the generation to make Americans free again. Free from this stranglehold to work til death for a faction of leaders who do not serve us.

Ever since the election, I have been scratching my head until it bleeds, trying to figure out why the hell so many Hispanics voted for Trump. The only logical reason I have come up with is that they are so tired of the foolishness going on in America that they just want a free ticket back to their home countries. It is absolutely asinine that any of them voted for that clown.
It's always the same excuse. "I thought he was joking, I didn't think he'd mean it" etc, etc. Another thing I read often is that people believe politicians all lie, so they believe Trump must be lying about the things he wants to do as well. Here's a general lesson for those people. If someone promises you riches and success beyond your wildest dreams, doubt them because it's probably too good to be true and they're trying to scam you. But if someone promises you that they will hurt you, rob from you, or kill you, then you better believe them. At the very least put yourself on guard.

My wife is concerned that the school will not make it through the trump presidency. If it closes, it will be a huge loss to the community.

Honestly, the number of people who say “She didn’t outline any of her planned policies” makes me think they did the stereotypical guy thing of when they hear a woman speaking it goes in one ear and out the other. I thought we were finally moving past that, and yet here we are
There are women who work at my job, all age 50+, all conservative, who unironically didn't want a woman as president because "she'll nuke us all when she goes on her period". I'm not joking.
For many voters, it was about “sticking it to the woke libs!”. They couldn’t define the term “woke”, however. I’ll help them out - it means “tolerant”. Tolerant of others and their viewpoints and their lifestyles. It means “aware”. Aware of others’ needs, and how they differ from your own. It means “caring”. Caring for everyone to be treated fairly, and equally. Just wait till they find out what the word “tariff” means, and who pays for it. Hint: it’s not a tax that China will pay!
Ironically, even if the exporters had to pay the tax, they would just raise their prices for that specific export to compensate; so the consumer still ends up being the one to pay!
@@schwarzwolfram7925 Or the exporter just stops exporting. Now it is on the importer to get his delivery chain sorted anew. That will be expensive. Or even impossible.
Woke has never meant anything to do with tolerance which is a very centrust concept. But yes aware, it means being aware of how power is fucking you and others over.
Well a Tariff is a tax on an exporter. Problem is, some people think that means less tax on us. What it actually means is exporters raise prices to cover the cost of the tax, so in reality it incentivizes foreign countries to tax American citizens while the Federal Government reaps the benefits as the middleman. You can see why we abandoned this form of economy in the 1920's and 30's. Americans fought for the right to have a federal tax for 2 decades, because they knew back then what was good for their local businesses, schools, and hospitals. Now Americans want to remove this benefit because "taxes bad"
But Fox news told them that trump would lower prices. I saw an actual interview with a women who was a red white and blue trumper - she wore the flag in addition to the red hat. She has a special needs child and she tried to explain to the interviewer that trump would never stop funding to her child.
Wonder how long it’s gonna be before these people start rioting in the streets like they accused all BLM activists of doing in a desperate show of resistance against the policies they voted for that they now are oppressed by as well.
Problem is people don’t have patience and want immediate fixes, despite the economy showing improvement. Trumps tariff blunder will really hurt the wallets at the supermarket. That coupled with trumps plan for reducing wages and benefits will finish crushing the middle class.
Yes I think this was the single biggest issue. They think it'll be like a time machine where they can go back to 2019 and everything will be like it was back then.
!!! As someone who was not a good student, I can really agree with this. More's the pity. It is not just me. Yep, things you didn't learn in school you might have to learn later, on your own. This is the opposite of the Trope for Dopes we see daily of how we don't need no schoolin'. Sometimes we DO! But yes, this is probably true of life in general.
There is no "regret" - only whining. I highly doubt they will actually stop voting red in the future. And if it wasn't Trump today, it would be another highly unqualified billionaire scammer in 4 years. That's why I don't care about their "regret" - the outcome was inevitable in the near future. And that's not just to shame them - Democrats are the same. I think Jon Stewart said something along the lines "It's vote blue, no matter who for the voters. But for the party leaders it better Trump than Sanders".
I actually had someone respond to me on another video that it meant Trump would dictate his orders to be written by someone else. I responded that Harris wouldn't need a "dictator" because she's actually literate.

@@paulmiller6245 George Carlin phrased it better... I'm not so sure about your summary... the Bible is closer to instructions formed by people trying to understand rules to live by for survival than it is a rule book to judge people. Many of the statements about hell are literally explaining things that could get you killed (sent to hades) in this life - not the next.
The explanation is that they had two conflicting teachers. One told them not to look in the book because "that's fake news". The other said "you should know this, it's an open book". So they picked a favorite teacher to listen to.
"...that student is still going to suffer because the services they need will no longer be available next year." And THAT is the ONLY way for a Republican to understand something that requires empathy or compassion for others...only if THEY feel the consequences for themselves. So, while I don't usually wish ill on others as it attracts bad Karma, I'm going to risk it and make an exception in this case in the name of "teaching moments" for all those Maga fools who proudly wallow in their ignorance. NOW you decide to educate yourselves! Better late than never, perhaps you'll make a more-informed decision voting next time around--IF we survive four years of trumpism...mind you, that's a big "if."
I have become very pessimistic. I don’t know how many people with buyer’s remorse are out there but imo not enough. In 2020 with covid raging, wild trump incompetence causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, tens of millions of lost jobs, economy in recession, still more people came out to vote for trump than in 2016. And trump has again inherited Biden’s booming economy for which he will take credit as soon as he’s in office, same as he did with Obama’s economy. Unless something truly catastrophic happens, the maga propaganda machine will continue to distract, lie and find scapegoats and people will continue to vote for trump.
The truth isn't always pleasant, but at least it's the truth. Just like how not forcing women to have unwanted babies has the effect of lowering the future crime rate.
I live in the deep red state of Idaho. I've been substitute teaching for the past four years. I love teaching and have been working towards finishing my degree and obtaining my teaching certificate. When I woke up on November 6th, I couldn't do it, I couldn't accept any substitute assignments; I couldn't even imagine continuing with my goal of becoming a teacher. I've tried for two weeks to get myself to accept an assignment, to keep on keeping on, to stay in it for the kids; this past week I quit, I can't do it. It is too much risk. I do not feel safe working in any capacity of education under Trump's administration. And I realized, it's better to get out now, while I'm still free to do so. I'd strongly encourage anyone living in a red state, and working in education, to seriously reconsider. Take a moment and really listen to what Trump and Vance are saying - not just about education - about everything. Because their proposed ban on pornography is going to adversely affect teachers. Vance especially has been railing against educators, accusing us of indoctrinating and brainwashing children with our liberal agendas. Trump has been accusing schools of performing sex change operations. While most Americans have the common sense to realize the preposterous nature of their statements, the MAGA cultists do not. Vance wants to arrest any working in education who is caught distributing pornography, put them in prison, and label them a sex offender. The insidious component of this equation is - WHO - will determine what constitutes pornography. It will not be the court's decision, it will be the parents who define what is and isn't pornography. This means radical fascist groups, like Mom's For Liberty, will be able to remove any teacher, any librarian, or any administrator who stands up to their christofascist rhetoric. Not just remove - completely destroy the career of anyone who stands in their way. Can you think of a worse punishment for an educator than to be sent to prison and become a registered sex offender? That person will never work in education again. And even if you don't rock the boat, even if you kowtow to the ridiculous christofascist agenda, all it will take for a parent to hold your livelihood hostage, is to threaten to report you for distributing pornographic material. If you have spent any time in education, you know there are parents who will stop at nothing to ensure their student has every conceivable advantage, and will not hesitate to ruin an educator's career to get what they want. Listen y'all, I have great friends and neighbors and live in a great community. However, I am acutely aware there are parents in my community who will not hesitate to impose their will by threatening to have educators arrested, imprisoned, and labeled as sex offenders. I do not want to be anywhere near these people's children. Additionally, I had a shitty, fucked up childhood. My parents were abusive in - every - way possible. I have struggled my entire life to overcome the devastating effects of my childhood. To see so many of my fellow Americans, my family, friends, and neighbors, vote for a serial sex offender - their choice has completely destroyed my faith in them. I have zero trust in any of them. I don't care why they voted for Trump. There is no rationalization worthy of my trust. I no longer feel safe associating with them. I feel completely betrayed by them. They are now as dead to me as my abusive parents have always been.
I gave you a +1 for the longest post. That being said, I feel you. It's going to be a very different world come January 20th. In fact, I'm making purchase decisions based on how much I think things will sky rocket in price after he enacts his smooth brain tariffs.
Thank you. We appreciate your leaving the industry. I have to ask - twould you not want to "arrest any working in education who is caught distributing pornography, put them in prison, and label them a sex offender?" Or are you intent on distributing p*rn to children?
For whatever it is worth coming from a complete stranger, please accept my best wishes and deepest sympathy for your situation. It is going to be a difficult time ahead, and I can't imagine how education will fare over the next few years. I only hope that you can find a way to hang on to what you love and make the contribution that you want to make. Live long...and prosper, and may God bless you.
Why wouold anyone be against wanting " to arrest any working in education who is caught distributing pornography, put them in prison, and label them a sex offender?"
All I have to say to these Trump supporters who have buyer's remorse: Bow down before the one you serve You're going to get what you deserve (Nine Inch Nails)

@@brianvalenti1207 No, if you disagree with someone and they are clearly uninformed, and you say that they are uninformed, that's just calling it how it is. If a child wants to jump from a rooftop because someone told them they could fly and you stop them and tell them they have false information, is that intolerance? Or is it caring? If someone knows something or not is not a subjective judgement. It can be objectively tested. For example, I talked to a lot of Trump supporters in the last weeks and a lot of them don't know anything about some of the things he said while being recorded. These people are uninformed. That's an objective fact. Saying they are well informed about the topic at hand would simply be a lie. It has nothing to do with tolerance.
We passed the f around phase, and now we're at the find out phase. America is so screwed and we voted for it. We almost made 250 years as a democracy. Rip America.
I did not vote for it. Nor did 1/2 of the voters. MAWAs voted for this. We tried to fight them, but "don't bother to vote, we have the votes," DJT had them back in 2015 when they took that loyalty oath (to him, not country" and Elon began paying them to vote for the shyster.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov, 1980
From my personal experience, many of them simply don't think that Trump will be able to make good on most of his promises and that he is still somehow better than Harris. Usually because of abortion or because people want to bring back religion. Some people have good intentions with this goal, some don't.
@@alyceclover Or just fox “news”. My sister was parroting them when Obama was running, after he won, I couldn’t have anything to do with her. She was / is a raging lunatic. My next door neighbor got to be the same way, through the one same source.
Millennials are going to get hit very hard when the prices of everything skyrockets. As it is, we have been handed a very bleak future. I can’t imagine ever owning a home or having kids. I certainly can’t imagine a reality where I have enough money to squirrel away necessities or make “thoughtful purchases” to prepare for the inevitable economic depression that is coming. Many of us may be homeless or worse before this is over.
They will rationalize it as "yeah, it sucks that bad things are happening to people who already needed help to begin with, but the really important thing is that a Republican won the election." Politics is a team sport; the only thing that matters is making sure your side scores as many goals as possible and the other side scores as few goals as possible, regardless of who those goals help or hurt.
I was looking for a comment section and could not find it. I apologize for a statement I wish I could put alone. Trump went after the black voters but he hasn't appointment any in his cabinet.
No, and he won't appoint any LMAO. Oh and if he does, I and SCREAMING "DEI HIRE!" To the high heavens. (I'm mixed BTW, and "DEI" is absolutely a dog whistle for racists)
Spot on information that was plain as day in front of the voters. Yet they failed to yield to common sense and just chugged that orange Kool aid. Off to the promised land to find out you have been grifted.😖😭😖😭
@@butchlauer "common sense" is one of the stupidest sayings ever. Common sense is only what makes sense to the common people.... and they are stupid. Just check the election results.
They never heard it. Something like 73% of TVs on in public places are turned to FOX - those people NEVER heard an ounce of truth. But when you ask them about Harris’ actual policy proposals, they’re all, “yeah! THAT’S what I’m voting for!” No. No it’s not. Russian disinformation won this election and FOX was its main tool.
I also see a major problem of dems ignoring why they lost, and now continuing to lurch further right with braindead takes like "we lost because we were too far left"
@ well, it’s certainly what they’re being told to think on MSNBC and CNN. Ground News and The Daily Beans @mullershewrote do spectacular jobs curating the news instead of talking-heading the news. I don’t need anyone to tell me their opinion. I need to know what’s happening.
Honestly maybe they should dissolve the Department of Education because as this election has made clear that 75 million people who went to school didn’t learn a thing.
They've been doing that for 30 years now. How do you think we've gotten here? Millennial and GenZ men voted for Trump because Joe Rogan has convinced them a vanishing advantage is the same as disadvantage.
I think they'll turn over the student loan business to the Treasury Department, which will contract it out to approved private firms. It's about rerouting the revenue to friends who will have more money for lobbyists to maintain the cash cow. Federal educational research (actually a pretty efficient way to sponsor research that can benefit the whole country) just goes away I imagine. The rest gets kicked back to the States. If any money gets saved, it probably comes at student expense.
For almost 10 years, people have been saying "when Trump says he wants to do something [like defund or eliminate the Department of Education, take him at his word." And yet so many people STILL convinced themselves that he wasn't serious and voted for him. The man does not have a sense of humor! He doesn't kid! He only has 2 modes: telling the truth and lying. If he's denying something, there's a very good chance he's lying, if he says hes' going to do something awful, there is a long list of precedent that he is being serious
He is totally incompetent though. Couldn't repeal ACA, couldn't build a wall. He fails at everything. I think we are protected by his incompetence. He wants to be Hitler but he can't because he is dumb
This is how lying works and the reason that once upon a time it was considered morally wrong. When you know someone's a liar, you can't believe anything they say. That includes what is true. There is a case to be had that we live in a post-truth world.
My cousin in California runs a construction company and he voted for Trump because he said that he almost lost his company because of Biden's policies. That did not stop him from buying a $250K mobile home two years ago. Now though with Trump's tariffs to Canada that is going to jump the prices of all the construction materials that we import from Canada. These tariffs might actually cast him dearly, but he should have thought about that before he went and voted for Trump.
I recently learnt a terrible phrase by Thatcher (that woman was an artist, an artist about being evil, but an artist nonetheless): There is no society. There are only individuals and families. It encapsulates perfectly the ideology of these people. They couldn't care less about what happens to someone who is not them or an extension of them (their families). Actual sociopath behaviour.
Except here it’s clear that they don’t even care about their own family members who are more vulnerable than they are. These people never cared about anything other than giving the most power to the smallest number of people.
@@zsombortelek8411 She took away workers rights, used the police to violently end strikes, she cut social safety nets, including ending the provision of free milk to school children (Thatcher the milk snatcher). She sold off the government run water, electricity, gas and train companies to private enterprise leading to years of rising prices and worsening services, she sold off the country's social housing stock meaning that now if we need to home someone we have to purchase from private landlords and hotels which costs a fortune. Her attitude towards the people can be summed up in a memo about the city of Liverpool which was undergoing a severe employment crisis at the time due to the closures of the docks. Rather than propose to help, she said that the entire city should be left in a state of "Managed decline". She was a nasty piece of work.
@@zsombortelek8411Part of it depends on your point of view. Thatcher was very cut from the same cloth as Regan where she believed an unrestricted “free market” was good for the economy as well as a haaaard push for privatization of public services. One of her more controversial moves though was her effective hard shutdown of the British coal industry. People had been advocating for a managed ramp down that would’ve included reeducation for career coal miners (so that they could, you know, get jobs after the mines shut down.) Thatcher instead opted for a hard shutdown where the miners received no educational aid from the government, had to work right up to the final day, then sort themselves out when the mines closed. Entire towns in Scotland, Wales, and North England effectively collapsed into poverty because they had been built around the mines and without a working population the rest of the town businesses went tits up. The ramifications are still being felt to this day.
@@zsombortelek8411 She came up with the brilliant idea to sell off the government houses that poor people live in, so that a landlord class can be empowered to prey upon the tenant class (permanantly poor). The upshot of all this is that there are less houses for poor people, so now there are more who are.....home less. They are homeless. We have a waiting list for public housing where I live and unless you are fleeing domestic violence you may never actually get into public housing. The government say "we need to build more houses", but that land isnt free, and most people NIMBY so hard it gets in the way and progress slows down, slows riiiight down. The homeless meanwhile are invading communal spaces of apartment buildings and old folks homes and literally living in the hallways, stairwells, and lobbies to stay warm and dry.
I am so glad that my adult, special needs son has aged out of the system so that he won't directly suffer from this particular (predicted) fallout. However, likewise, as someone who's son has dealt with annual IEP battles, I TRULY feel for those that are still in that fight. These kids deserve so much better.
Egg prices? Show me the family that actually has the time to sit down to breakfast and eat those eggs in the morning before they have to get the kids off to school or daycare, when the parents or parent has to rush to their first P/T job of the day to make ends meet. And here come the tariffs, yay.

I'm from Europe and I don't understand one thing... how can someone vote for the criminal forced separation of families and be surprised that their family doesn't want to meet with them for a Thanksgiving? I mean a literal family saying thanks and mutual gratitude, when that person supported against exactly that? Against families?
because they don't know what they voted for, and care more about their little bubbles. they are apathetic to politics. they don't know or care about the actual consequences it will have. much of it is religious indoctrination since birth.
The whole "I didn't think the bad things would happen to me" is such a sadistic take because it means they pictured it happening to others and STILL were in favour of it.
Let me start by saying I am not a Trump supporter. The statement in this video is misleading.The state of Oklahoma deciding to spend what little money they had left in their budget on Bibles for schools has little to do with Trump being elected or not. That is a matter decided by the state board of education. It is something they would have done even if Kamala Harris were elected. The Neoliberal Corporate Democrats are not going to do anything to curb corporate power, bring down inflation and reduce the cost of living.That is why they lost. Even if voters fell for Trumps lies the Democrats do not have a coherent strategy or message other than Trump is a Fascist. Why, because they side with special interests and the donors who big corporate lobbyists represent.
Instead of blaming the voters maybe we need to take a hard look at the failures of the Democratic Party.

I talked to quite a few Trump supporters before the election. They were really excited to vote for policies he didn’t have. Loved qualities about him that Trump doesn’t possess. They were determined to vote against policies that Kamala Harris wasn’t running on and told me all the things they didn’t like about Harris that had no relationship to her.
Trump supporters just had a fantasy election, and now their fantasy is crashing into the reality of what they actually voted for.
This is the perfect comment.
So true. there is a huge disconnect between what policies and characteristics they support vs who they vote for. And I just cannot believe the problem has to do with ignorance alone.

He actually said "Why can't everybody in the country just pay, like, $100, so everybody could get insurance?" I told him that's called Universal Healthcare, and that's exactly what Democrats would like to do but Republicans are 100% against it. He had no clue about any of this, but he's been crowing about trump beating 'Kamala' for weeks now.
He made his choice.

You should have said, "Oh, you want socialism for your family.

Trump and his supporters can't be bothered by research before doing something stupid.
The tariffs are going to be a redistribution of wealth too that MAGAs are all for. Funny how they’re okay with corporate socialism
It’s sickening to see a country crumbling because of stupidity.
And the two biggest sources of that are unlimited corporate spending on propaganda against science (to discredit potential regulations) and the inane insanity that has been GW's "No Child Left Behind" that put all school focus on testing and weakened trying to teach understanding, thinking, civics, art, or anything you can't fill in a bubble for.
And every president since just keeps it going, with Obama using it to add Common Core instead of taking it down. Frustrates me so much and now we have a whole generation raised with that shit running that aren't taught how to judge information going into the densest storm of misinformation humanity has ever known.

It is quite literally what happened in the Western Roman Empire over its last 150yrs, before the remnant converted fully into the Catholic Church. Their “public system,” based on Jewish teaching traditions, was taking off; but it was a threat to the Emperor. So, they went back to their roots and reimplemented their old Greek “SA your kids in exchange for an education” model. One that leaves 7/8ths of the population as only Home Educated, at best.
Their Military & Political Class suffered first with allegiance-based political appointees only from the “educated (& sadistic)” Class; instead of the *very diverse* merit-based system that had grown the Empire to its peak of strength.

As someone from outside the US, I used to watch those westerns on TV where you'd see a snake-oil salesman conning whole communities out of their money, and I'd think "That's just exaggeration and stereotyping. No-one can be that gullible." Now I know different.
I used to wonder about those dc animated movies where lex luthor was voted president. Always thought it was wishful thinking. Now I know it’s completely feasible.
We are now a real live Western on Tv with a snake-oil-salesman as the future president, unfortunately the Americans never outgrew that era 😢
Same. I have lost count of the American movies and TV series when I thought “screenwriters have gone wild on that! So unrealistic I can’t enjoy the movie because it’s too far fetched.”
Then, since the internet and RUclips I have realized that those weren’t exaggeration at all.
There was an old western “Trackdown” about a scoundrel named Trump. You can find the entire episode on here.

He voted for trump, and spends every morning talking about how he hates people who don't work for a living, and leech off the system. I finally looked at him after about a year of listening to him, and asked "So what do you do for a living?" And he blithely replied "I'm disabled. Obama wants to kick people like me to the curb." What the ACTUAL heck?
As long as Trump hates who they hate, it's easy to ignore everything else, apparently. If he loses what he's got, he'll still blame Dems... despite it being a 100% controlled republican country.

Yes, he was found liable for sexual assault, sweetie.

I'm hearing the reparations will take AT LEAST 40 years, if our country even lasts that long.
No one’s grandkids are going to be having fun in 50 years. Extreme weather is going to be exceedingly destructive. Among other things, it’s going to be much harder to grow food and have safe housing.
Hoping there is still an America for them to demonstrate in. And before anyone jumps down my throat I was born and raised in Texas. I am an American citizen.
MAGA cultists just aren't informed by anything but their media box that is allowed to lie to them.

Of course it will also affect their friends' disabled 'white' children.
Just like everything else.... it's not important until it happens to them. They meant that they were going to scrap education for everyone else... not their white kids.
It's mostly likely that Fox didn't air the story, and cut away from any mention of it in the MAGA rallies. MAGA doesn't know about most that's going on, as their sources are Fox, Newsmax, and religion.
The part where it affected them. As long as it only affected other people, they couldn't care less.
Most education stuff is handled at the state level. It's only the federal dept of education that they are talking about. It's understandable that people might not know which things are federal or state level. I would have expected most special needs stuff would be at the state level. It might not make much difference.

as an educator, I completely agree. I agree the board of education needs to be reworked and states need to have greater control over their states education - BUT - replacing proven forms of education with christian nationalist ideology is NOT what the founding fathers had in mind. We have a separation of church and state for a reason. If you want your child to have a christian education - there are plenty of places to send them to receive this. If you want this type of education in the US, then churches should be taxed. Period.

@@frederickmiller5492 Speaking as a devout Christian, the "Bibles in schools" thing frightens me.
Why?
Because those are *Protestant* Bibles. And I'm a *Catholic.*

Freedom of religion is a non-aggression pact, and they just blew the top off it. I know a lot of Catholics who are currently cheering this right now, that they're "putting God back in schools," and I want to shove them in front of the Ten Commandments poster they're putting in these schools and make them reread it until they realize, "Hang on...isn't this the Protestant version???"

Loved the open book test line. Seriously, only the willfully ignorant could fail. Unfortunately the country is thick with them.
One of the most important things that I noticed gets left out of discussing how far Black folks have come during Black History month is that not all slaves believed they were free. There were some who stayed slaves. The Underground Railroad had many failed attempts for folks who could have escaped but were “willfully ignorant.” Consider the inhibitions. And then reconsider that these people are the modern slaves of capitalism and purity culture. Are you aware that they have education kept from them by their leaders? Are you aware that dopamine fixing hobbies are kept from them culturally, a fundamental part of healing decision fatigue and brain fog? Consider that these people are disabled to know what we know, on purpose. If they are being attacked with culture to keep them making babies and working until they die, then that indeed would be a hard type of slavery to identify and target. Harder still because of the volume. A new movement has begun to free these people. And it means stealing the slaves from their captors. Become Daryl Davis if you wish to do something. We cannot change this alone, but there is hope. We can change it together. It will be a task for the rest of our lives, but we will be the generation to make Americans free again. Free from this stranglehold to work til death for a faction of leaders who do not serve us.

Ever since the election, I have been scratching my head until it bleeds, trying to figure out why the hell so many Hispanics voted for Trump. The only logical reason I have come up with is that they are so tired of the foolishness going on in America that they just want a free ticket back to their home countries. It is absolutely asinine that any of them voted for that clown.
This is what happens when you vote for the party instead of your country.
It's always the same excuse. "I thought he was joking, I didn't think he'd mean it" etc, etc.
Another thing I read often is that people believe politicians all lie, so they believe Trump must be lying about the things he wants to do as well.
Here's a general lesson for those people. If someone promises you riches and success beyond your wildest dreams, doubt them because it's probably too good to be true and they're trying to scam you. But if someone promises you that they will hurt you, rob from you, or kill you, then you better believe them. At the very least put yourself on guard.

The problem is they were studying the test from the wrong book it's called fox news sad😢
Yes sir, it is a sad reality having so many being sucker-baited by Fox, RSBC, NewsMax, Real Americas Voice, Charlie Kirk, the ludicrous GOP, Alex Jones and many more bad actors in this. I wish my smart American friend's all luck and safety as things get worse. Sad respect from Australia.
One of my favorite sayings.
Not on the same page? I'm not even sure we're reading the same book!
Used to be a sarcastic comeback when people would say that we're not on the same page. Now, though, it seems more and more like the hard truth. ☹️
This... it doesn't matter what we say, Fox News will tell them different. Fox News is 110% the problem... excusing deviance for decades and now deviance is entirely normal.
The whole "fake news" thing was Trump's most brilliant political maneuver. Sowing the distrust of every possible source of reliable information and propping up the propaganda mills that support his narrative. Irreparable damage to an entire generation.
Fox is not a book. They didn’t read or comprehend anything. Even if they read the Bible, Trump and MAGA are anti everything it preaches. Read Sermon on the Mount, you idiots! You elected the Anti-Christ.
My wife works for an alternative school that works with troubled kids. It’s an amazing school that helps these kids get a basic education and graduate when they wouldn’t otherwise be able to. The school provides more than learning opportunities, it’s a safe place away from broken homes, it provides meals and clothing. My wife is concerned that the school will not make it through the trump presidency. If it closes, it will be a huge loss to the community. These children will be less likely to succeed and more likely to become part of the criminal justice system. Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.
And they'll say you're the one without compassion for their kid when you point it out smh 🙄
I'd say there's a correlation between average American literacy rates and those who voted for Trump.
I am reading about Zika ~ how it harmed the fetus of pregnant woman. Lots of mosquitos in those lower red states; lots of cases.
May be a correlation?
They're all stupid, violent, and think the whites are in some kind of desperately short supply. Every trumper Ive known, worked with, or had the unfortunate relation to; have all been bigots or POORLY EDUCATED.

Well...literacy is tied to formal education and those with less formal education voted for Trump.
"we love the poorly educated." - actual Trump quote
and it's true. i don't have the recent numbers, but in the 2016 election Trump won over 80% of the white vote with no college education.
"I can't believe they would do that!" is going to be an expression heard a whole lot in 2025 until it switches to "I'm not surprised anymore" in 2026
At that rate, it might get to "keep your voice down, you want to get us arrested?" sometime in 2027.

I'm right there with you. Harris was an excellent candidate and if you live in MN you know how good Walz is.
Or especially a black woman! /s
Honestly, the number of people who say “She didn’t outline any of her planned policies” makes me think they did the stereotypical guy thing of when they hear a woman speaking it goes in one ear and out the other. I thought we were finally moving past that, and yet here we are
There are women who work at my job, all age 50+, all conservative, who unironically didn't want a woman as president because "she'll nuke us all when she goes on her period". I'm not joking.
If you really believe that's why she lost, then your side is going to keep losing elections.
For many voters, it was about “sticking it to the woke libs!”. They couldn’t define the term “woke”, however. I’ll help them out - it means “tolerant”. Tolerant of others and their viewpoints and their lifestyles. It means “aware”. Aware of others’ needs, and how they differ from your own. It means “caring”. Caring for everyone to be treated fairly, and equally.
Just wait till they find out what the word “tariff” means, and who pays for it. Hint: it’s not a tax that China will pay!
Ironically, even if the exporters had to pay the tax, they would just raise their prices for that specific export to compensate; so the consumer still ends up being the one to pay!
@@schwarzwolfram7925 Or the exporter just stops exporting. Now it is on the importer to get his delivery chain sorted anew. That will be expensive. Or even impossible.
Woke has never meant anything to do with tolerance which is a very centrust concept. But yes aware, it means being aware of how power is fucking you and others over.
Well a Tariff is a tax on an exporter. Problem is, some people think that means less tax on us.
What it actually means is exporters raise prices to cover the cost of the tax, so in reality it incentivizes foreign countries to tax American citizens while the Federal Government reaps the benefits as the middleman.
You can see why we abandoned this form of economy in the 1920's and 30's.
Americans fought for the right to have a federal tax for 2 decades, because they knew back then what was good for their local businesses, schools, and hospitals.
Now Americans want to remove this benefit because "taxes bad"
@@ghostderazgrizA tariff is a tax on an importer, not an exporter. Have you ever bought something from overseas? You pay the tarriff.
But Fox news told them that trump would lower prices.
I saw an actual interview with a women who was a red white and blue trumper - she wore the flag in addition to the red hat. She has a special needs child and she tried to explain to the interviewer that trump would never stop funding to her child.

I live in Oklahoma with 6th grader. These idiots think there will be deflation in grocery stores.
Problem is people don’t have patience and want immediate fixes, despite the economy showing improvement. Trumps tariff blunder will really hurt the wallets at the supermarket. That coupled with trumps plan for reducing wages and benefits will finish crushing the middle class.

What I say to people talking nonsense post election with regrets is that you're supposed to study before the test, not after the test.
!!! As someone who was not a good student, I can really agree with this. More's the pity. It is not just me. Yep, things you didn't learn in school you might have to learn later, on your own. This is the opposite of the Trope for Dopes we see daily of how we don't need no schoolin'. Sometimes we DO! But yes, this is probably true of life in general.
There is no "regret" - only whining. I highly doubt they will actually stop voting red in the future. And if it wasn't Trump today, it would be another highly unqualified billionaire scammer in 4 years. That's why I don't care about their "regret" - the outcome was inevitable in the near future.
And that's not just to shame them - Democrats are the same. I think Jon Stewart said something along the lines "It's vote blue, no matter who for the voters. But for the party leaders it better Trump than Sanders".

3:50 - That's a great analogy: a lot of people failed the open-book test, even though they had years to study for it.
The explanation is that they had two conflicting teachers. One told them not to look in the book because "that's fake news". The other said "you should know this, it's an open book". So they picked a favorite teacher to listen to.

In 2020 with covid raging, wild trump incompetence causing hundreds of thousands of deaths, tens of millions of lost jobs, economy in recession, still more people came out to vote for trump than in 2016.
And trump has again inherited Biden’s booming economy for which he will take credit as soon as he’s in office, same as he did with Obama’s economy. Unless something truly catastrophic happens, the maga propaganda machine will continue to distract, lie and find scapegoats and people will continue to vote for trump.

"I never thought leopards would eat MY face!"
I live in the deep red state of Idaho. I've been substitute teaching for the past four years. I love teaching and have been working towards finishing my degree and obtaining my teaching certificate. When I woke up on November 6th, I couldn't do it, I couldn't accept any substitute assignments; I couldn't even imagine continuing with my goal of becoming a teacher. I've tried for two weeks to get myself to accept an assignment, to keep on keeping on, to stay in it for the kids; this past week I quit, I can't do it. It is too much risk. I do not feel safe working in any capacity of education under Trump's administration. And I realized, it's better to get out now, while I'm still free to do so. I'd strongly encourage anyone living in a red state, and working in education, to seriously reconsider. Take a moment and really listen to what Trump and Vance are saying - not just about education - about everything. Because their proposed ban on pornography is going to adversely affect teachers. Vance especially has been railing against educators, accusing us of indoctrinating and brainwashing children with our liberal agendas. Trump has been accusing schools of performing sex change operations. While most Americans have the common sense to realize the preposterous nature of their statements, the MAGA cultists do not. Vance wants to arrest any working in education who is caught distributing pornography, put them in prison, and label them a sex offender. The insidious component of this equation is - WHO - will determine what constitutes pornography. It will not be the court's decision, it will be the parents who define what is and isn't pornography. This means radical fascist groups, like Mom's For Liberty, will be able to remove any teacher, any librarian, or any administrator who stands up to their christofascist rhetoric. Not just remove - completely destroy the career of anyone who stands in their way. Can you think of a worse punishment for an educator than to be sent to prison and become a registered sex offender? That person will never work in education again. And even if you don't rock the boat, even if you kowtow to the ridiculous christofascist agenda, all it will take for a parent to hold your livelihood hostage, is to threaten to report you for distributing pornographic material. If you have spent any time in education, you know there are parents who will stop at nothing to ensure their student has every conceivable advantage, and will not hesitate to ruin an educator's career to get what they want. Listen y'all, I have great friends and neighbors and live in a great community. However, I am acutely aware there are parents in my community who will not hesitate to impose their will by threatening to have educators arrested, imprisoned, and labeled as sex offenders. I do not want to be anywhere near these people's children.
Additionally, I had a shitty, fucked up childhood. My parents were abusive in - every - way possible. I have struggled my entire life to overcome the devastating effects of my childhood. To see so many of my fellow Americans, my family, friends, and neighbors, vote for a serial sex offender - their choice has completely destroyed my faith in them. I have zero trust in any of them. I don't care why they voted for Trump. There is no rationalization worthy of my trust. I no longer feel safe associating with them. I feel completely betrayed by them. They are now as dead to me as my abusive parents have always been.
I gave you a +1 for the longest post. That being said, I feel you. It's going to be a very different world come January 20th. In fact, I'm making purchase decisions based on how much I think things will sky rocket in price after he enacts his smooth brain tariffs.
Thank you. We appreciate your leaving the industry.
I have to ask - twould you not want to "arrest any working in education who is caught distributing pornography, put them in prison, and label them a sex offender?"
Or are you intent on distributing p*rn to children?
For whatever it is worth coming from a complete stranger, please accept my best wishes and deepest sympathy for your situation. It is going to be a difficult time ahead, and I can't imagine how education will fare over the next few years. I only hope that you can find a way to hang on to what you love and make the contribution that you want to make. Live long...and prosper, and may God bless you.

From my personal experience, many of them simply don't think that Trump will be able to make good on most of his promises and that he is still somehow better than Harris.

They've been doing that for 30 years now. How do you think we've gotten here? Millennial and GenZ men voted for Trump because Joe Rogan has convinced them a vanishing advantage is the same as disadvantage.
I think they'll turn over the student loan business to the Treasury Department, which will contract it out to approved private firms. It's about rerouting the revenue to friends who will have more money for lobbyists to maintain the cash cow. Federal educational research (actually a pretty efficient way to sponsor research that can benefit the whole country) just goes away I imagine. The rest gets kicked back to the States. If any money gets saved, it probably comes at student expense.
For almost 10 years, people have been saying "when Trump says he wants to do something [like defund or eliminate the Department of Education, take him at his word." And yet so many people STILL convinced themselves that he wasn't serious and voted for him. The man does not have a sense of humor! He doesn't kid! He only has 2 modes: telling the truth and lying. If he's denying something, there's a very good chance he's lying, if he says hes' going to do something awful, there is a long list of precedent that he is being serious
He is totally incompetent though. Couldn't repeal ACA, couldn't build a wall. He fails at everything. I think we are protected by his incompetence. He wants to be Hitler but he can't because he is dumb
This is how lying works and the reason that once upon a time it was considered morally wrong. When you know someone's a liar, you can't believe anything they say. That includes what is true. There is a case to be had that we live in a post-truth world.
@TechnoSpice Trump has lied more on record than anyone else in history
My cousin in California runs a construction company and he voted for Trump because he said that he almost lost his company because of Biden's policies. That did not stop him from buying a $250K mobile home two years ago. Now though with Trump's tariffs to Canada that is going to jump the prices of all the construction materials that we import from Canada. These tariffs might actually cast him dearly, but he should have thought about that before he went and voted for Trump.
I recently learnt a terrible phrase by Thatcher (that woman was an artist, an artist about being evil, but an artist nonetheless):
There is no society. There are only individuals and families.
It encapsulates perfectly the ideology of these people. They couldn't care less about what happens to someone who is not them or an extension of them (their families). Actual sociopath behaviour.
Except here it’s clear that they don’t even care about their own family members who are more vulnerable than they are. These people never cared about anything other than giving the most power to the smallest number of people.
Can anyone explain to me how was Thatcher evil? I've only heard good things about her.
@@zsombortelek8411 She took away workers rights, used the police to violently end strikes, she cut social safety nets, including ending the provision of free milk to school children (Thatcher the milk snatcher). She sold off the government run water, electricity, gas and train companies to private enterprise leading to years of rising prices and worsening services, she sold off the country's social housing stock meaning that now if we need to home someone we have to purchase from private landlords and hotels which costs a fortune. Her attitude towards the people can be summed up in a memo about the city of Liverpool which was undergoing a severe employment crisis at the time due to the closures of the docks. Rather than propose to help, she said that the entire city should be left in a state of "Managed decline". She was a nasty piece of work.
@@zsombortelek8411Part of it depends on your point of view. Thatcher was very cut from the same cloth as Regan where she believed an unrestricted “free market” was good for the economy as well as a haaaard push for privatization of public services. One of her more controversial moves though was her effective hard shutdown of the British coal industry. People had been advocating for a managed ramp down that would’ve included reeducation for career coal miners (so that they could, you know, get jobs after the mines shut down.) Thatcher instead opted for a hard shutdown where the miners received no educational aid from the government, had to work right up to the final day, then sort themselves out when the mines closed. Entire towns in Scotland, Wales, and North England effectively collapsed into poverty because they had been built around the mines and without a working population the rest of the town businesses went tits up. The ramifications are still being felt to this day.
@@zsombortelek8411 She came up with the brilliant idea to sell off the government houses that poor people live in, so that a landlord class can be empowered to prey upon the tenant class (permanantly poor). The upshot of all this is that there are less houses for poor people, so now there are more who are.....home less. They are homeless. We have a waiting list for public housing where I live and unless you are fleeing domestic violence you may never actually get into public housing. The government say "we need to build more houses", but that land isnt free, and most people NIMBY so hard it gets in the way and progress slows down, slows riiiight down. The homeless meanwhile are invading communal spaces of apartment buildings and old folks homes and literally living in the hallways, stairwells, and lobbies to stay warm and dry.

they are apathetic to politics. they don't know or care about the actual consequences it will have. much of it is religious indoctrination since birth.
because its happening to someone else
I pray that everyone gets _exactly what they voted for._ I hope they get it right in their smug, ignorant faces.
Thank you for posting this. The open book exam is a perfect metaphor.
