Public schools all over the country are failing, mostly because of
"woke" teachers and administators who adhere to the leftist teachers union's phillosophy. Leftist wokism has weaseled its way into lots of otherwise "red" localities.
Even in red states where conservatives
control everything MAGAs still find a way
to blame others for their failings.
Yeah, stupid... those who "fail" are those who vote Democrat to keep
receiving their free shit.
Who are last in EVERY category, in EVERY state, NOT just those with
Republican governors?
Median Household Income
Net Worth and Generational Wealth
Unemployment Rates
Labor Force Participation
Educational Attainment (High School and College Graduation Rates)
Homeownership Rates
Poverty Rates
Life Expectancy and Mortality Rates
Health Insurance Coverage
Incarceration and Sentencing Rates
Business Ownership and Entrepreneurship
Consumer Credit Scores and Loan Approval Rates
DEMOCRATS who vote to keep their free shit coming.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy
from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received positively by TDS'ers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a punch line for late- night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
