This is assuming that international colleges will even accept American institutional credentials for education going forwards. With how thorough this dismantling might be, we might go back to “oh, we didn’t learn about the Civil War up in Nebraska, all we needed to know was how to run the farm” like it was at the turn of the last century.
The idea is that this way, they can retain teachers, who are notoriously hard to hire right now anyway, while also forcing their compliance via wage cuts for wrongthink.
AND you have two other great mages to hang around with, so you can combo off each other real easy.
The problem is not the fact that fetuses are people or not, it’s Napoleon’s “some animals are more equal than others” from Animal Farm. They view the fetus as MORE important and deserving of more rights and care than the person carrying the fetus to term.
Yes, literally. I promise you, I have met a scary amount of conservatives who think women are only good for making babies and cleaning the house.
They didn’t stop. You just stopped hearing about them because the media doesn’t report on them en masse anymore.
Part of the crew, part of the ship…
This, of course, assumes he doesn’t just drop dead of any one of a dozen age-related health issues one day.
Fen-phen! This shit was a wonder drug for dieters, until they found out it kills you. Maintenance Phase did a wonderful episode on it years back.
Ehhh, there’s still lively debate, but the general consensus is that the whole “we’ll deport the Jews/undesirables” thing was mostly a smokescreen, and the plan was always to either place them in work camps or kill the ones that couldn’t work. The camps came AFTER a lengthy campaign of extermination against “useless eaters” such as the elderly, the chronically ill, and the mentally and physically disabled, which was billed as “well they’re a huge drain on state resources.”
This hardly matters. Trump has always said he’s not going to respect the rule of law, and now, with really unprecedented total control of all 3 branches of government (as in, the people that were elected and already there support HIM SPECIFICALLY, not just his party affiliation), he’s in a prime spot to just do whatever he likes.
I think it’ll wind up as slavery. Instead of actually deporting huge numbers of people, they’ll go “wow so it turns out that’s really hard” and use them as prison labor instead. You don’t have to pay prison laborers.
The CIA has good reason to believe Trump gave information, because in the span of several weeks after a private meeting with Putin while Trump was president, a whole pile of their Russian and Eastern European intelligence agents and assets dropped off the face of the Earth or wound up dead.
Trump has promised, in VERY few uncertain terms, to deliver a genocide here in the US. Mass deportations of immigrants were one of his big “to-dos” on day one, including deputizing National Guard and police units to assist ICE. This is combined with an AG hopeful who wants to “see Democrat politican’s bodies dragged through the streets”, and Steve Bannon, who helped author a document that basically plans to outlaw homosexuality, being transgender, and (probably) conversion camps, if not outright death camps. You can look all this up, it’s all been well reported on.
This is on top of Trump being close friends with Netanyahu, so congrats - by not voting, you voted for two genocides.
Courting racists is effective because disillusioned leftists DO TEND to metamorphose into racists and fascists over the long term. They get upset their party and politics are stagnating, get upset at the lack of political traction, and wind up eventually blaming other people. You see it more often in young people, but it definitely happens.
The big issue is that Trump could’ve gotten onstage and started telling stories from Lake Woebegone for two and a half hours and a large portion of his cult would’ve hailed it as a masterstroke of political theory.
Ah, but it works both ways. One great way to radicalize young men is sexual frustration (see: incels). The right has mastered this FAR better than the left ever thought about it.
“But Trump will stop me having to hear about all these wars.”
Fixed for you. I heard the same from my mom - that it was a REAL SHAME Biden wasn’t trying to force Russia and Ukraine to peace.
And automotive guys figuring out a good chunk of their replacement parts are European.
Except I can see Trump just sidestepping via EO. Sure, it’s unconstitutional, but “official acts”, remember?
Either money, or threats. Trump learned his politics from the Mob - you play nice, but when the chips are down, women and kids aren’t off the table, so to speak.
