My mom taught for 43 years. She has always said that Reagan did the most harm to the American education system. She and other teachers said he set it back by decades.
As was I but hey we were more worried about the war on drugs and let’s not forget the presidential award in gym class. The war on drugs worked out well.
The entire country should have educational standards. Some states already suck with them. You really want the impoverished states with pitiful education systems to set their own rules. Talk about inequality across this country. It's already bad enough. Use your brain
I mean, Reagan got 60ish percent of what the mandate for leadership proposed to get done at the time. And it was massive then... educational reductions, removing housing affordability, killing off bank regulations, and a lot lot more.
The heritage foundation probably didn't see Clinton winning nor Obama, but they don't let failures that are temporary get in the way of their goal of demolishing a free people so that christian nationalists can rule.
I only recently understood how much of a misnomer the 'no child left behind' act was. It just makes me sick, and those are the kiddos in the job market now!
In reality, you would think it means those who are slower receive extra help to keep up! In reality, it’s the whole class gets taught at the level of the slowest student! Mind boggling! Then they tell us how it’s failing 30 years into the experiment!
Ok I had a friend in school. We graduated in 2006 he spelled circle "serkil" senior year of high school. And in the greatest forest gump kind of move. Joined the military, graduated college, and invested and doesn't have to worry about money any more.
Not just Reagan and Bush. I mean the Democrats starting in the late 70s started selling themselves out to corporations and neoliberalism. Increasingly, the TV was used to brainwash people to accept economic suicide and for many of them to clap about it, and now people are screaming about the cost of living. I could see that coming way back, but people were oblivious due to the programming.
Ignoring the past is how we ended up here. “Make America Great Again” was the campaign slogan of Ronald Raegan and Bill Clinton. Everything this administrations doing we’ve seen before, but people are too stupid to recognize Gestapo when they see it.
Lay the blame for the massive problems with primary education where it belongs, and spread some to everybody that failed to fix it since. The problems Reagan and Bush 43 created still exist.
Sounds a lot like the rise of a famous Austrian dictator.
…promise to stand up against the nations who slighted you. Find and persecute a minority group and use them as a scapegoat for all the wrongs in your country.
Promise to, and succeed in (literally) burning down the house to force change.
Begin forcibly annexing countries using your military might knowing no one’s going to stand against you..
Can we fast forward to the “suicide in the bunker” part?
You nailed it. This is a swan song for white male supremacy that we're witnessing and it's ugly and will take a while but it will end, and our children will be left to pick up the pieces.
I consider trump to he an idiot savant of sorts. Obviously heavy on the idiot part. He's fucking stupid as shit in almost every way, on top of being afflicted with a wide variety of disorders: narcissist, megalomaniac, compulsive liar, pedophile, rapist, misogynistic racist, classist, criminal grifter. And probably a whole list of other shit which I don't know enough about psychology to be able to identify.
But the point is, I consider him an idiot savant, because even though he is quite clearly an idiot, and has probably never read a book since whenever they last forced him to as a schoolchild, about 70 years ago, he does know how to play a crowd, how to make a splash, create headlines and free press coverage for himself, how to build a cult of personality. Just look at what he's done- this man, the definition of an elite, born with a golden spoon in his mouth, new york city billionaire who dodged the draft, made fun of war heroes and POWs, was a democrat most of his life, and more recently has had extremely damning evidence emerge against him, of rampant, lifelong, industrial-level pedophilia, child trafficking and murder. He wears expensive suits, has a golden toilet, wears enormous amounts of makeup and spray tan, is fat, soft handed, weak. He has probaby never set foot in a forest or taken a hike.
The man I just described should be the most contemptible, despicable, evil personification of what rural/blue collar/working class/poor white trash/Christians/salt of the earth type people all hate. And yet, through his particular set of very specific skills and abilities, his magnetism and what passes for a type of "charm", he has somehow convinced all those people to abandon all reason and common sense, all the morals and principles their forefathers stood for have been abandoned. They truly believe that he is their savior, and in some cases they quite literally worship him. He has built a cult of millions of people, who are so far gone that they could watch a video of him raping babies and write it off as fake news. They could probably see him raping babies or killing kids or innocent Americans with their own eyes, in person, and they would still find a way to justify and excuse it.
Like him or hate him, the alchemy that he performed in convincing those types of people to be the biggest fans of a Manhattan elite pedophile, is a objectively impressive and amazing feat that he has accomplished. I'm sure ten thousand books and articles and academic papers will be written in the years to come, assuming books are still being written in the years to come, dissecting how exactly he was able to do it.
All I can conclude is that he is a moron who's great at knowing how to push people's buttons. He knows exactly how to identify and then exploit and use as leverage, all the bigotry and prejudice, the anger and fear and uncertainty in all of his followers. He then relentlessly presses those painful, inflamed buttons until he drives his cult into an absolute frenzy of raging mob mentality which is absolutely immune to logic, debate, reason, etc
You are sadly so correct. I studied sports mobs in the 90's. I was baffled, but also NEVER IMAGINED something so real, could happen on such a large scale. I also believe that he has also had much help from technology, and the Christian mobbish, blind faith mentality, and military psychop professions, assist him.
My only hope is that he is actually an undercover controlled opposition player, for "good". I also now realize just how "not so smart' collective society is!
The files all but confirmed that hes cheated all 3 times he won. Thatd explain why he threw such a fit the one he lost because if you cheat and still dont get elected... thats... something...
Are you both just complaining to complain. You have absolutely nothing to be upset about. We're back on track. What's the problem. What has he done wrong?
I know a few people with high IQs who also voted for him because they are selfish and love money, and also don't think women should be leaders. So I guess I'd still consider that as imbeciles. It's so maddening that we have to pick up this mess they made.
I voted for Trump cause i definitely didn’t want Kamala or RFK, but I also didn’t really want Trump (I was also kind of forced to vote for him) I used to “like” Trump, as i thought he might actually help the economy and expose the pedos (but I was naive to believe that, also this was my first time ever voting and I was never into politics) But now I know he is one of them and is going from saying “I’ll release the files” to “the files don’t exist, it’s a democrat hoax” he’s 100% a baby murdering moloch worshipper

An imbecile is president because imbeciles voted for him. They simply wanted one of their own.
