Moms for Liberty has heavily promoted trainings for conservative activists on how to take over school boards, which ought to make clear how we should understand stories like this one, which just sound like a racist tantrum in a Texas suburb. These aren’t random or isolated events — they’re part of a large, well-organized and well-financed attack on public education across the country.
I feel like it’s important to keep the eye on the ball here. The right has been incredibly successful at organizing at the local level and has flipped a lot of seats because of it, and not just in the rural south either.
spoiler CWI had a coloured friend once when I was nine and susceptible. Thank goodness that my mother (now a local leader in Moms for Liberty) was there to beat some sense into me. Who knows what I might have been if I continued down that path.
we watched him do this shit for 4 years 3 years ago, and they’re “stunned” about this now???
they knew. they always knew. that’s why they went into business with him. this objection is purely performative so they can take his dirty money while trying to stay clean.
I’m so sick of everything being blatantly corrupt. You can’t take a shit without it making four shady deals on the way down to the water. The rot has spread so much the cleansing flames would engulf the world. Human potential, wasted completely on profits and racketeering. It would take a global movement to uproot what has taken hold of all of us.
It meant we’re so entangled with this shit that undoing it would unravel the world. And every elite is drinking from their own glass, they truly believe they do no harm.
eh… I don’t believe that. maybe some of them might, but I refuse o believe they’re all so oblivious to the harm they cause and that at least some of them aren’t enjoying it.
They aren’t oblivious. They justify it in their own minds. Maybe I’m saying that because I don’t want to believe we built a society that turns psychopaths into gods.
Don’t mind the libertarians booing you. Its obvious a society built on individualism and man-eat-man would turn to this. I still don’t want to believe this is the best we could come up with.
They're not very creative, so they can't think up other nefarious schemes so they just accuse their enemies of what they're doing. Grooming kids? Check. Corrupt sons of presidents involved with "overseas investors?" Check. Stealing an election? Check.
It also works to help obfuscate Democratic corruption as it's nowhere near as bad and when pointed out is immediately compared to the much worse Republican corruption, which in turn pushes the envelope (full of cash) forwards even more. It sucks.
There’s a reason dollar amounts are seldom mentioned in conservative Hunter Biden tabloid articles. Otherwise simple math would reveal the comparative and objective scale of potential foreign interest.
No shit. He's corrupt af. Between the bone saw incident and him potentially selling out our secrets from trumps trove of classified documents he should be under the jail. If I can see it it should be painfully obvious to anyone who can actually do anything.
Rats and sinking ships have never gone well together. I sure hope this rat gets what he deserves by enabling such an incompetent and completely unqualified president and administration. I also hope his turning on trump is instrumental in his downfall.
They don’t give a shit because they’re not arguing in good faith. You’re not going to convince them of anything with “Hey Republicans!”
They know exactly what they are doing.
It’s like two brothers who know they committed a crime, but no one witnessed it, so as long as they both keep up the lie, no one else can ever say the truth and know it to be true. Every single one of them holds the truth in their chest, believing they can change the truth of reality as long as they reject reality and substitute their own “truth” and never, ever admit the reality.
It’s all a purposeful charade to take power and avoid responsibility. Period. That’s all it has ever been.
