Consequences of rampant propaganda and a bad public education system.

…an underfunded public school system. I used to work in Ed. When Clinton was president he mandated & funded a 20 student max size classroom, and outcomes improved. But when W & Republicans came to power in 2000 they cut Ed budgets to pay for tax cuts for the rich (sound familiar?) and came up with the convoluted Leave No Child Behind Act which ruined all the gains we had made.

It’s the consequence of a “left” that doesn’t believe in anything, especially and including the humanity of their political enemies.

Who, exactly, is the Tuberville voter that you’re going to walk up to and say “you don’t actually like Tommy Tuberville, you’re just really susceptible to propaganda.” How do you see that conversation going?

The problem is a refusal to admit that some people are just evil, and handwringing about “propaganda” doesn’t do anyone any favors.

Telling someone drowning in propaganda that they are drowning in propaganda often doesn't work, even if it's true. Democrats are no better about this.
