And it sounds strange, doesn’t it? Department of Education, we’re going to eliminate it, and everybody knows it’s right, and the Democrats know it’s right
It does sound strange to an educated person, but in a generation or so the populace wouldn’t be educated enough to know any better.
And that is just republicans admitting that only stupid people vote for them; not that elections will ever take place again anyways.
but in a generation or so the populace wouldn’t be educated enough to know any better.
a generation??? the populace ALREADY doesn’t know any better… like… they voted for him (or were indifferent enough to not show up at the polls, which is almost the same thing)
Yup. This goes way deeper than Trump, conservative undermining of education has been in the works for decades, since Reagan. Adam Conover explains it well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlAb_8bDHjE
Agreed, but if it’s that bad now wait until the next generation grows up without an education; you won’t even need an electoral college or gerrymandering to swing votes.
Again, not like a vote will ever take place in the US anymore. Kings don’t need elections to stay in power.
That’s the part that made me the most upset is… YOU ALWAYS VOTE! Regardless of party affiliation! People in other countries do NOT have the PRIVILEGE that our nation FOUGHT to protect and at the VERY FUCKING LEAST you can do is… get off your lazy asses and VOTE!
I think it’s embarrassing that “undecided” is even an option, it’s a fucking choice; do your damn research, read many articles, don’t fall prey to the US gaslighting propaganda on all MAJOR news channels, follow both candidates, and if at that point; you still have reached the, “Owen Wilson Idiocracy Affect” flip a fucking coin… but for the love of god vote!
OMISSION of voting resulted in this travesty… no excuses you have the same internet we all have, yet you CHOOSE this and now we all have to suffer, just fucking lovely.
Honestly, since we fought for our rights to vote and gained them from the British all we have done is eventually bring us right back to that same fate and demise! Germany is looking a hell of a lot better than the US in recent years, we can’t even elect a woman president! 🤦🏽♀️ and we don’t even crack the top ten lists in anything… but yes, gut education, that will make us great again?!
New MAGA slogan: Make America God Awful
A department created and funded by congress cannot be eliminated without the approval of congress.
That was in the before time when the law mattered
They’re trying to get around it by saying this does not actually shut down the DoE. All this executive order does is instruct Linda to, like, wind down operations, basically everything except collecting loans, surprise surprise. That way they can say they haven’t closed the department and therefore it’s not illegal. This is no doubt to buy time hoping that midterms give them a bigger majority to actually close it with Congress.
Good idea Donny…
Make your nation dumber… You’ll really compete on the global market that way!
It’s the only way Republicans can stay in power. The dumber the nation, the more likely they vote republican.
While this certainly doesn’t help our already failing primary education system, the department of education mostly works with grants and loans and continued education (GED), ensuring a safe learning environment, aiding those with disabilities, etc. You know, the bare minimum governments should be doing.
Idiocracy aged like fine wine
Idiocracy pulled its punches.
Yeah, honestly, Not Sure probably would’ve been vaporized in the nuclear apocalypse shortly after being frozen. Not as great of a story, though.
Asshole. Fucking dickwad asshole.
The fact that they staged this with Trump, surrounded by children in school outfits and desks… Bruh.
At least they made sure a wide variety of races, ethnicities, and religions were represented. Isn’t there an acronym for that?
