Some swing voters who went from voting for Joe Biden in 2020 to voting for Donald Trump in 2024 are now regretting their vote for Trump, as they fear his policies — such as steep tariffs and layoffs at the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) — will hurt them.But hardcore MAGA voters are expres...

Just more proof that the Republican party is driven by hate and not logic.

    The implication is intentional. They still think Biden stole the election and that Trump is the rightful 46th Pres. It doesn’t even matter if you use that logic to say Trump’s 2024 campaign was illegal. Or that his plan for 2028 is also illegal. They want it all.

      Ah, I see.

      Whatever happened to the Q people who thought Trump was actually in charge after 2020 and would reveal his power to the world by executing all the child sex traffickers and Democrats (redundant)? Did they decide Trump actually wasn’t secretly in charge?

        He is when it suits them, he isn’t when it doesn’t. $4 for eggs was too expensive under Biden, so Trump brought the price down to $11. We can’t catch them with cognitive dissonance, they have none.

        They are in a constant state of flux on many issues, including their Schrodinger’s President. Depending on the conversation at hand, they open up the box in their head and decide whether Biden was actually the President for 4 years or if donvict and his dumbasses were…

        One of the articles sourced by Snopes is this NYT article, which I think highlights one of the major problems with teaching:

        Across all school subjects, teachers receive a pale imitation of the preparation, support and tools they need. … the overall picture is of a profession struggling to make the best of an impossible hand.

        And across all subjects, the neglect shows in students’ work. In addition to misunderstanding math, American students also, on average, write weakly, read poorly, think unscientifically and grasp history only superficially.

        Teachers almost universally bear the brunt of a toxic society from all sides. Children with poor behavior, Parents who promote it, Administrators who ignore it, and almost everyone incentivized by shit laws like No Child Left Behind to keep skating those kids through every step of the way - find any excuse to pass the problem child on to the next year, conjure any reason to get Brad that sports scholarship even though he can’t multiply fractions.

        Our entire society has venerated ignorance for half a century, and we’ve become exceedingly efficient at it. Few places are as protective and proud of their bad reputation as the USA.
