There are dozens of changes in what it means to be a conservative in America that have been made over the past decade, but perhaps the most glaring is the disdain these folks suddenly have for education.
When we baby-boomers were young, learning was universally revered. “To get a good job, get a good education,” was the mantra.
Now, in the age of Donald Trump, millions of conspiracy theorists believe that our schools promote homosexuality, socialism, and a variety of different “hoaxes” like climate change is real, and vaccines are safe and effective.
What’s driving this? Some people believe that the people who call the shots in the United States don’t want people who are capable of critical thinking.
One thing is certain: there is a huge correlation between people who didn’t go to college and Trump supporters. If you’re Donald Trump, you want as much ignorance as you can possibly generate.
Here’s where you can donate to send a copy of the bible to the poorest of the poor African children.
Let the word of God explain to these children why they are dying of sickness and starvation. Certainly, their parents will be interested to learn this as well.
Always blame your opposition for the crimes you committed.
We baby boomers remember when the two dominant political parties were essentially indistinguishable. Eisenhower, a Republican, stood for strong Social Security, limited military, unemployment insurance, and a strong minimum wage.
What does today’s GOP champion? Cutting off all assistance for the poor, tax cuts of billionaires, slashing into Social Security (the money you and I earned) and starting a senseless and illegal war.
Who are the radicals here?
I just came across Sofo Archon, an incredibly interesting speaker and writer.
My only response to what he says at left is that you are, in fact, a leftist, whether you accept that or not. Anyone who says that he belongs to “Humanity and Earth” is a leftist by definition, just like anyone who wears the t-shirt below.
This is kind of like saying, “I am neither a Christian nor an atheist, but I believe in God and I accept His son Jesus Christ as my savior.” Sorry, that makes you a Christian.
