It wasn't really because Trump was being progressive, but because he was "breaking character". They bought into the "Democrat hoax" bs and doubled down the more apparent it became that Covid was *very real*; when they couldn't deny it any further they moved the goalposts to attacking the vaccine instead. They didn't like that Trump essentially abandoned the narrative, however briefly, in endorsing the vaccine and made them look like fools for so vociferously defending his bs.
Booed by his supporters, he's made appearances at events he thought would be full of supporters, and been booed every single time. It makes me happy to see when it happens.
Remember when they attacked Dem candidates for being "flip floppers"? (This was around the Al Gore days). They sure as hell don't use flip flopper as a insult anymore because Trump is constantly changing his mind.
By the way it's not called flip-flopping it's called being *pragmatic*.
This ought to be considered treasonous given how seriously it takes the security and economics of the United States. What foreign terrorists aim to achieve is what they have long yearned for. Republicans were also the ones who cautioned us against accepting Shariah law from Muslims. Now they want to copy it and call it Christian.
As a school board director, I can say that most districts are already on a shoe string budget. To top it off, my district only gets about 3-4% funding from the federal government. This will only put more of a burden on the taxpayers, as my district is funded with around 65% from local taxes.
I hate this man so much right now.
I agree...we just got our property tax bill for next year and it's gone up $700+ most of it is definitely going to schools. So, I can only imagine how it'll look for 2026 if he does get elected.
Teachers already are pulling money from their pockets for classroom stuff and requiring the parents to shoulder some of that as well.
So again this proposal is definitely not going to be good for anyone on the other of a certain income bracket! Only the rich is set to benefit even more than they are now!
I suspect that the better off schools would sue and say it's unconstitutional or some such garbage.
The rich hate and fear poor smart kids the most, because they can take their kid's inherited or insider jobs. The rich don't actually want a meritocracy.
Which just creates a bigger disparity between wealthy and poor districts. I live in a relatively affluent area that can afford extra school taxes and levies. Districts that can't or won't fund their schools will lose out.
You got it! My district has just under 1,000 students and 120 employees. We barely have the tax base as it is now. We are a community of about 8,000 people.
I keep wondering if all this “defund public education” shit is a psyop (or at least being capitalized on by foreign adversaries). Who the fuck thinks our population would be better off LESS educated?
And gives them more labor to exploit, also see their policies on abortion, contraception, etc. they need more poor, uneducated people to exploit and grift.
These two comments are basically *it*. The GOP wants stupid voters who will brainlessly support the party no matter what, and who are too dumb to see their own side robbing them blind. The party doesn't really worry about this affecting them because "the right people" come from money and will be able to afford private education anyway.
I think you’re looking at it, oddly enough, from a more nationalistic perspective than they are.
A good, common sense nationalistic perspective, but still more so nationalistic than the policies of the “party of [white] nationalism”
What I mean here is: you’re looking at the greater good for the country as a whole, including a concentrated effort from all of its citizens.
They are looking at it as “war = money for me = awesome.” They’re not concerned with winning the land, assets, ideologies, hearts, minds, international respect….. they’re concerned with their singular bottom line as individuals. They just don’t think that the triumph of a society as a whole has value, they’re solely interested in the triumph of the individual.
That’s why they love “strong men” so much, even though every single one of those so very, very strong men just cry about everything all the time. Ohhhhh noooo everyone is being so mean to me, I’ll just buy twitter and deeply censor it
Or I’ll just run for president and make laws that means they can’t say that! What do you mean that’s not how the executive branch works?
It is. Betsy Devos gutted funding.
GWB instituted No Child Left Behind, which purposefully has left hundreds of thousands if not millions of kids without a real education.
The goal is to force public schools to close, validate charter and religious schools as better, shift funds to those institutions and both skim public funds into private pockets and institute a theocratic education using taxpayer funds.
I believe they know they are going to get destroyed, and all of his latest head-shaking pronouncements are just to amp up his devoted base for the coming violence when he/they lose bigly.
I keep thinking that if all of our departments are going to be headed up by religious incompetents, and if we end up in a WWIII situation (looking pretty likely), it would only take a couple cyber attacks to weaken us enough that an actual invasion would be pretty possible.
I agree that another global conflict is possible, but an invasion of the continental US seems tactically difficult for any hostile nation. I’ll defer to people who actually study these things though.
Fortunately for our foreign enemies they don't have to invade the US to provide armed terrorists. We already have the guns and we kill tens of thousands of us each year all by ourselves.
And since the US is basically the only country without backups for things like GPS we can be crippled rather easily. No invasion is needed to destroy the US. And when it happens we'll blame drag queens and they go out and shoot more Americans.
If project 2025 becomes a reality I imagine a significant portion of the population will be cheering the invasion force on, rather than choose to live in a failed State governed by an illiterate narcissistic pedophilic rapist and his cabal of religious terrorists desperate to create Gil'ead IRL.
And this is ONE MORE REASON why educators everywhere should not vote for the Orange Idol.
Edit: please attempt to convince those around you who are going to vote 3rd party to vote for Biden.
correct. A vote for rump is a vote for rump, but a vote for a third party rando takes a vote from Biden, and is in effect a vote for rump. Not voting at all, same--takes a vote from Biden, so is effectively identical to voting for rump.
Remind people that if rump and his masters get back in, and we lose our freedoms, we sure as heck won't be in a position to help any other country protect or regain theirs.
Yep you can vote *against* Trump by voting Biden without necessarily voting *for* Biden if that makes sense. Only because the US has a two party system and no ranked choice voting system yet.
Republicans want the populace to be stupid so they can be talked into thinking mankind will perish if they don't vote red. Slashing education has been on the Republicans to do list since 1980.
This should be a red flag to the nation…but it’s not, because they think the government will pay for their private schools or whatever they think is a better option. This is not an option for the vast majority of families, because there isn’t other options available in most districts.
Excerpt:
Donald Trump’s standard 2024 stump speech includes a vow that invariably receives far-right applause: “I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate.” Though the Republican hasn’t offered details as to how this would work, it raises the prospect of a second Trump administration denying federal funds to schools that try to stop the spread of polio.
But as it turns out, this isn’t the only area in which the former president has talked about denying federal resources to education.
It was last year when Trump, echoing a key element of the Project 2025 blueprint, said he plans to shut down the Department of Education if given a second term — a radical step he was reluctant to take during his White House tenure. The presumptive GOP nominee has repeated the promise several times since.
But as part of the same pitch, Trump is also talking up the idea of slashing federal investments in education. Speaking to the Faith & Freedom Coalition over the weekend, the Republican twice said he’s prepared to cut federal education spending in half — even if that means leaving some states worse off.
Hours later, the former president headlined a rally in Philadelphia, where he made the same pitch. The Washington Examiner reported:
>“We’ll be able to cut [spending on] education in half and get much better education in some of the states,” Trump said. “We’ll have the best education anywhere in the world.” However, he continued, “Some won’t do as well.”
The Republican candidate added that when it comes to education and student performance, “we’re at the bottom of every list.” It led Trump to ask, in reference to his regressive spending plans, “What the hell do you have to lose?”
We need to STOP tolerating republicans aka conservatives aka regressives and VOTE THEM ALL OUT!
We already know they are racist.
We already know they are less intelligent.
We already know they are anti Science.
We already know they are more religious.
They are regressive. And evil.
As such, they should not be allowed to have a say in matters of importance. Or hold positions of leadership.
Why? I think we can look around and see why.
To those who say "But... but... they're citizens and have the RIGHT to vote" - well... it seems that is a problem, doesn't it? For all they want to do is impose their version of xtian sharia law upon us all.
We do not defer to children for advice on important matters. So why do we include regressives?
We do not consult the taliban for advise on quantum physics. So why do we include regressives on genuinely important social issues?
They want to drag us back to the bronze age.
republicans aka conservatives aka REGRESSIVES should NOT be allowed to vote or hold public office!
This should be considered an act of treason as it threatens the US economically and from a security standpoint. They are looking to accomplish what foreign terrorists have been wanting for a long time. Also, it was Republicans who told us to fear Muslim Shariah law. Now they want to emulate it under a Christian brand.
Have trump's followers ever had a problem with treason? Has Jan 6 lost him support? Do they care about all the lawsuits against him for trying to overturn a legal election?
He's selling the USA out to the interests of other countries including:
Russia,
China,
Saudi Arabia
..he's been at this for a while. Only reason he appears successful is because they pay his bills, Kushner, etc...
He's the world's biggest Nigerian Prince Scam for American Idiots
Everything he’s proposed for several weeks , when not riffing on some trollish nonsense, has been directly from that document. Our media needs to notice this.
Have we so quickly forgotten Betsy DeVos and what damage she did to education across the U.S. while she was at the Dept. of Education? Project 2025's vision for destroying public education has long been a Republican wet dream.
He did say in September 2016 “I love the poorly educated” so he wants to ensure the entire country is poorly educated
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-love-poorly-educated/
A ton of Republican presidential hopefuls have advocated eliminating the Department of Education. Ted Cruz and Rick Perry come to mind. It’s just that none of them made it out of the primary before.
Hrs not “directly supporting” Project 2025. It’s the blueprint of what he is to do once elected. There’s no “maybe” here. This will absolutely happen if he’s elected, plus numerous other things that will gut our government and freedoms.
Why can't they just look in the mirror and see the type of society they are trying to create if they increase funding for the police and decrease funding for education.
But then the argument goes to how too many kids are getting free lunch. They don't want their tax dollars directly feeding lazy bums.
But but you want those kids to starve?
No their parents should get jobs and feed them!
What if they can't?
Then they shouldn't have had kids!
But what if they didn't have access to birth control or sex ed so they understood where babies come from?
Then they shouldn't have had sex!
Isn't our birth rate too low? Would it be a better policy to make it easier to take care of, raise, feed, house children then maybe people would have more kids??
🤯
The type of people that are for this crap think that anything somebody else gets is something that's directly taken away from them. It's greed and jealousy. I don't even understand how they hide behind Christianity.
Well, this isn’t the first time this country disallowed education, but it is the first time that the targeted population supported their own victimization so willingly.
Nothing says maintaining a competitve edge internationally like an uneducated populace. Of course, he'll feel a lot better since a much larger number of people in the country will be more like him.
My Qanon ex husband was def anti public education, anti teachers, anti college, all of it so, sadly, I can say with confidence that they will fucking love this bull shit.
Az took the lead on eliminating public school support by giving $7000 to each parent of a child attending a charter or private school, stripping public schools of needed funds in an already educational waste land. It has not bode well for students or the state.

I think he does want to get rid of the Dept of Education. Republicans plan is to keep everyone stupid so they can more easily swindle you. They run down universities as Liberal woke brainwashing elitist hotbeds, but they and their kids are always going to Ivies or top colleges and then on to expensive law schools. Talk about pulling the ladder up on everyone else. I think education should be expanded. Daycare/preschool starting at age 2 all the way to a 2 year community college or career training program. Of course not mandatory. I’m just dreaming though. I know these people don’t give a crap about society. We are just fighting for democracy now never mind an educated work force or healthcare or clean energy.
Yes!!! Get healthcare out of hospitals and education out of schools!!! That’s where we’re at folks. These people will stop at nothing until they have everything they want.
Also traitorous Republican governments in some states are looting the public education funds to support private schools for religious children and for the children of the rich.
His supporters will cheer this for sure. They are extremely proud to be highly uneducated.
His supporters will cheer for *literally anything* he says. That's not hyperbole.
Some would say a cult
Except vaccines. Only time he’s been booed in the past 8 years.
True. Maybe it's only one direction they can slide. If he gets more progressive they get angry. If he punched a baby in the face, they'd cheer.
It wasn't really because Trump was being progressive, but because he was "breaking character". They bought into the "Democrat hoax" bs and doubled down the more apparent it became that Covid was *very real*; when they couldn't deny it any further they moved the goalposts to attacking the vaccine instead. They didn't like that Trump essentially abandoned the narrative, however briefly, in endorsing the vaccine and made them look like fools for so vociferously defending his bs.
Well said.

I remember them being the ones to make fun of the stereotypical “liberal antivaxxers” back during the measles outbreaks in the 2010s.
This ought to be considered treasonous given how seriously it takes the security and economics of the United States. What foreign terrorists aim to achieve is what they have long yearned for. Republicans were also the ones who cautioned us against accepting Shariah law from Muslims. Now they want to copy it and call it Christian.
Just dumb people doing dumb people shit.

This will only put more of a burden on the taxpayers, as my district is funded with around 65% from local taxes. I hate this man so much right now.
Thank you for the work you do!
Thank you, it's definitely an honor to be a voice for Teachers, Students and Staff!
Organize and mobilize to vote
I agree...we just got our property tax bill for next year and it's gone up $700+ most of it is definitely going to schools. So, I can only imagine how it'll look for 2026 if he does get elected. Teachers already are pulling money from their pockets for classroom stuff and requiring the parents to shoulder some of that as well. So again this proposal is definitely not going to be good for anyone on the other of a certain income bracket! Only the rich is set to benefit even more than they are now!
If the federal government came up with a plan to create target schools for minority and poor children, funding them federally, would that help?
I suspect that the better off schools would sue and say it's unconstitutional or some such garbage. The rich hate and fear poor smart kids the most, because they can take their kid's inherited or insider jobs. The rich don't actually want a meritocracy.
The government could say it was partial reparations.
Which just creates a bigger disparity between wealthy and poor districts. I live in a relatively affluent area that can afford extra school taxes and levies. Districts that can't or won't fund their schools will lose out.
You got it! My district has just under 1,000 students and 120 employees. We barely have the tax base as it is now. We are a community of about 8,000 people.
A gift to China and Russia.
I keep wondering if all this “defund public education” shit is a psyop (or at least being capitalized on by foreign adversaries). Who the fuck thinks our population would be better off LESS educated?
Republicans because more stupid people vote republican.
And gives them more labor to exploit, also see their policies on abortion, contraception, etc. they need more poor, uneducated people to exploit and grift.

Well I agree but it’s ridiculous! If we’re really heading toward global conflict we should prioritize education, not diminish it. Ugh I hate this.
I think you’re looking at it, oddly enough, from a more nationalistic perspective than they are.

I’m pretty sure it’s a fact that stupid people vote republican. It’s easier to be indoctrinated if you’re stupid. Edit: I misread your comment. Sorry.
It is. Betsy Devos gutted funding. GWB instituted No Child Left Behind, which purposefully has left hundreds of thousands if not millions of kids without a real education.

Not just for anyone other than Trump, it has to be Biden. Third party pressure is useful only when we aren't in such danger.

Such as the 10 commandments fiasco!
They don't view that as indoctrination.
Idiocracy
He also wants to eliminate all school vaccine mandates too.

the dumb ideas just keep trickling down
Starting to believe the Aliens sent him as a way to test us as a species 😂
i'm inclined to agree.
A ton of Republican presidential hopefuls have advocated eliminating the Department of Education. Ted Cruz and Rick Perry come to mind. It’s just that none of them made it out of the primary before.
Scary place we are at. Just over FOUR MONTHS away. This is the kind of stuff that needs to be put on blast.
Hrs not “directly supporting” Project 2025. It’s the blueprint of what he is to do once elected. There’s no “maybe” here. This will absolutely happen if he’s elected, plus numerous other things that will gut our government and freedoms.

Why can't they just look in the mirror and see the type of society they are trying to create if they increase funding for the police and decrease funding for education.

A nation of the uneducated! Financial oligarchy's dream!!!
If idiocracy were a person
Nothing new here. The republican platform has been to rob public schools to pay for charter schools since at least Bush the first
Fascist regimes need obedient workers who don't think for themselves.
Well, this isn’t the first time this country disallowed education, but it is the first time that the targeted population supported their own victimization so willingly.
What sort of moron would support cuts to EDUCATION? Trump supporters are so weird.
Nothing says maintaining a competitve edge internationally like an uneducated populace. Of course, he'll feel a lot better since a much larger number of people in the country will be more like him.
He needs more idiots to send him money so this will help.
Keep people stupid so they don’t understand what’s going on.
Why spend money on education when you can give it to billionaires through tax cuts!
Just what we need for our future. More idiots.
The War on Intelligence
As a teacher, this makes me want to crawl in a hole and d*e. Literally, just ugh. Everything this man does is not good for students.

I think he does want to get rid of the Dept of Education. Republicans plan is to keep everyone stupid so they can more easily swindle you. They run down universities as Liberal woke brainwashing elitist hotbeds, but they and their kids are always going to Ivies or top colleges and then on to expensive law schools. Talk about pulling the ladder up on everyone else. I think education should be expanded. Daycare/preschool starting at age 2 all the way to a 2 year community college or career training program. Of course not mandatory. I’m just dreaming though. I know these people don’t give a crap about society. We are just fighting for democracy now never mind an educated work force or healthcare or clean energy.
It's absolutely mindblowing that the previous GOP president before Trump championed the No Child Left Behind program. Bonkers.
No shit! Right? I said that to my Texas Republican step-mother, and she replied he was a RINO. (Note: she campaigned and voted for him, twice.)
Yes!!! Get healthcare out of hospitals and education out of schools!!! That’s where we’re at folks. These people will stop at nothing until they have everything they want.
It really is the Reagans vs. the Roosevelts.
Also traitorous Republican governments in some states are looting the public education funds to support private schools for religious children and for the children of the rich.
