This is precisely the intention of vouchers. They are an elaborate plot to destroy the public education system, which is part of a larger plot to enslave the American population
Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

Vance wrote a whole insipid book and launched his political career as the self-appointed spokesman for the grievances of a distinct ethnic identity whose immigration to this continent peaked three centuries ago.
Folks, would you believe me if I told you JD Vance was over there railing against the immigrants as the reason for the antisemitism

This entire article is positive about Trump Gold Cards. It contains positive quotes about it from Trump, Lutnick and a CEO. It contains no quotes from the many critics of the program. This is sandwiched between 6 posts about Erika Kirk. CBS is lost.

"No one on the right wants to be William F. Buckley" because he was obviously too woke is... quite the premise to start with in pleading with your fan base to maybe turn down the racism dial by a tenth of a notch.

Conservatives rebranded bigotry and every time the media uses “wokeness” as a euphemism they are helping a movement that it quite literally erasing the history marginalized people’s role in American life.

Trump brought up in his Politico interview last week how he was personally offened by Zelenskyy telling Putin Ukraine wanted to be in NATO. That seems to be the most personal offense for these monsters: The personal refusal to supplicate.
Peskov:
"Naturally, this issue [of guarantees that Kyiv will not join NATO] is one of the cornerstones and, of course, deserves special consideration alongside the others."
Russia demands guarantees while only making promises it will break any moment.

Add in 'negative' as well and you get 25%. That's still only 25% of Britons feel negatively towards trans people after a relentless decade of anti-trans propaganda.

I can understand, even if I disagree, why French wants to try and empathize with the concerns of these RW culture war types. But that empathy is just reinforcing their whiny, spoiled attitude when what they need to be told is to grow the fuck up, those aren’t real problems.

a big problem here is that there are massive financial and career incentives for turning That Thing That Annoys You into a Worrying Trend. 1
related to this a lot of people in the pundit class need to learn how to just be annoyed by someone or something without turning it into What’s Wrong With America
i am fascinated by how nate silver turns everything he doesn’t like into a bespoke ideology. it’s not that he is annoyed by HCR, it is that she is a dreaded “ism” responsible for everything he doesn’t like about the democratic party. same with bluesky.

The guy who offered a bounty to anyone who could provide proof of Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio eating dogs -- and then offered as evidence a video of Congolese immigrants in Dayton, Ohio eating chicken -- has opinions about the right's "conspiracy, psychodrama, and tabloid conflicts."
It's wild how Chris Rufo openly talks about his own followers like they are the dumbest, most contemptible people alive. Which, fair!
But it says a lot about MAGA psychology that they don't seem to mind.
