Karen Lauritzen said it has been the hardest year in her 20 years of teaching…
I want to imagine Republicans actually care about driving out good teachers. But getting rid of education is probably just a win for them.
Only because they’re astoundingly shortsighted. This sort of crap causes a brain drain, and absolutely obliterates economies long-term. What we’re seeing right now is the beginning.
We’re gonna have to see if they can hit a moving target at 20 yards before Republicans can determine if they’re a good teacher.
No surprise there.
I live in Idaho and a lot of my neighbors are so fucking dumb it seems like some sort of inside joke I’m not a part of.
Idaho born and raised, too. I left for good over ten years ago. Not coincidentally my social life and career have improved significantly in that time. They don’t deserve the good people that remain. They do deserve the enduring shitty national reputation they have thoroughly earned.
Republicans are awful people. Not every Democrat or leftist is a good person - just look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear, or turds like Anthony Weiner. But every Republican has chosen to support a party which revolves around anger and bullying those who are vulnerable.
American conservatism is distilled cruelty.
Both parties are garbage. Not necessarily the people. To say one side of shit is better than the other side of shit just means your not looking at the shit the right way.
If the Democrats are like a flood of sewage that comes unbidden into your home, the Republicans are like you constructed a sluice specifically to pipe it in.
No. Democrats are like having to eat mushy vegetables with no salt because they’re healthy for you. Undesirable, but necessary.
Republicans are like being paid to eat something gross from the back of the refrigerator. And only rich people get the money. If you’re poor, you just have to eat the garbage. Both unnecessary and disgusting.
The people are the party for Republicans. It’s their identity
I know some Democrats and they just hate Republican policies because, well, they’re not evil people. But being a Democrat isn’t part of their identity
Republicans are actually terrible people. Period
In quite a few ways they are similar. Both parties get money from the rich, attack those that have different view points, believe themselves more enlightened than the other, don’t keep most of their promises, lie to get what they want, throw fits when they don’t get what they want, try to divide people on issues, have zealots, and start to do stuff right before elections come up. Ultimately they are the same with minor differences in views that are taken to the extreme by few loud people.
“leftists are the ones cancelling people” say the Republicans who drove a teacher out of her state for supporting queer people
And these coward conservatives will simultaneously get upset when we compare them to Nazis.
