The literacy crisis that was made worse by the No Child Left Behind policies of the early 2000s created a perfect storm in this current political environment where loud and ignorant people who lack comprehension skills continue to get elevated. It’s frustrating.

Most Americans read at a 6th grade reading level (or below).

That’s why Trump’s speech resonates with MOST Americans because he talks to them at a 3rd grade level and they comprehend that.

Democrats speak at a college level and most people are unable to comprehend that.
I’m convinced that the reason these young “political” commentators on X yelling that Democrats are “just as bad as Republicans” don’t know how to read policies…because they’re actually ILLITERATE.

It’s factually noted that high schoolers now possess the literary skills of elementary students.

What job didn’t you get that you still show up for?

Also- do we need to pay to get you the interwebs so you can see where she is or what’s she doing cuz this ain’t it.

no, this is not correct

she is, by any definition, one of our leaders, and, gee , odd of me, leaders are expected to lead

It explains why people were OK with not voting, even if it meant they lost both POTUS and Congress.
They for some reason thought Democrats would somehow still be able to come in and save the day.
I guess they just didn't think that all the way through.

Folks keep asking where Kamala is and why she isn't saving them.

Really, what they want is to keep blaming her for the voters' actions.

If they did want her, they would have voted for her back in November 2024. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Listen

I know this ain't your first time at the rodeo, but that Black Woman owes you nothing.

And the only thing she has to do, after the voters fired her, is stay Black, highly educated, and die of natural fucking causes.

Figure your shit out, voters.

💯This!!!

I don't think people realize that Tate spews his garbage in every English speaking country. Every. English. Speaking. Country.

In the US, Black boys and girls are online the most, by far.

But in the US, Tate's garbage has the biggest effect on fashy, racist, sexist, patriarchal, boys.
🙂🙃
Always the blame is 💯 on tate and social media, never on our patriarchal society and the misogyny learned at home.
Manosphere BS does real harm...

"A rise in misogyny and racism is flooding UK schools as pupils ape the behaviour of figures such as Trump & Andrew Tate after exposure through social media..."

We're not happy about it, and were DESPERATELY hoping to be proven wrong. I'm not a nihilist, it's a waste of energy. But love doesn't and never will build community. TRUST will. And how do you build when a pattern of distrust has been established?

I know folks here on Azure atmosphere and yarns are tired of "Blk folks told you so 🤷🏾‍♂️ 🤷🏿‍♀️" as a response to the perpetual crashing out of the non marginalized US electorate, but......what else is there to say? We KNEW how evil & sick it could get, it's WHY we warned you.

If there are no more haters of yt GenX- those born in the 70s specifically- then I have passed on. They're NEVER beating the allegations. Going this hard for a fictional character but won't confront their family. (And YES, Alex Keaton would have been M A G A too)

If the DSA wants to be an actual organization, it has to have *some* level of leadership discipline.
Awful that they're trying to smear Mamdani and the entire DSA with this, but the international committee has been a tankie haven for ages. Just disgraceful that they're taking state-organized junkets to the Uyghur region

56% of Black kids are online *almost constantly*. Significantly more than white kids. If being online turned you fascist, Black kids would be leading the charge.

If economic anxiety from price of eggs turned you fascist, Black people would be the most fascist.

Stop making excuses for fascism.
Relative to white kids, yes.

More than 50% of Black teens 13-17 say that they are online "almost constantly."🤯

The number for white kids is only 37%.

Black kids are online more. Hispanic is close.

(Reminder, Hispanic is not a race. Hispanic kids can be Black, white, mestizo, indigenous, etc. ♥️👍🏿)

Again, 90% of US Black men vote against fascism. And most US Black men know that if you're an Andrew Tate fan, you are by definition, a loser.

If your son turned into a fascist little gremlin, it's not for lack of masculine role models. It's not from being online. Black kids are online the most.

Nonsense.

If you want to be a nazi just be a nazi. If you let your son be an evil little racist misogynistic gremlin, just admit it. You don't have to lie about it. Own it.

What is this thing where you demand Black people do jobs for free that you refused to hire them for?

You don't do shit for free. Everything is transactional. Even filing in a circle on a piece of paper must be "earned".

So stop demanding Black people be your free labor.
For the people who are whining that Kamala and Barack aren’t speaking out now….

They literally gave speeches in 2024 accurately predicting everything that’s happening now and you clearly didn’t give a shit. What are they supposed to say now? Shut the fuck up.
