Not to absolve these people, but half of our government has been at full on war with education since at least Reagen. They’ve been fighting tooth and nail for an army of uneducated meat-bots for the past 40 years, and now their investments are paying off.
And their war has been backed and funded by almost every big company. The amount of propaganda and lobbying pumped out against the people ever since Reagan has been insane
The Reich wing found out that fighting a perpetual culture war where you make EVERYTHING out to be an attack on your sense of decency and morality and then have propaganda outlets do absolutely nothing else but harp on that culture war 24/7 and never report on your shit votes or comments is INSANELY effective at getting people to vote for you no matter how fucked up you are.
Literally the evil party. How did we end up here
We founded a country using solely slave owning sexually repressed cultists
…on stolen land. Using the labor of the indentured and the enslaved.
Also most of you didn’t vote or for some unexplainable reason voted for the orange buffoon… twice!

And don’t forget about Fox news and conservative talk radio.

Definitely. That’s why they’re constantly cutting education funding.
There’s no such thing as a sexually repressed slave owner.

Republicans basically working from the book of Goebbels.
kinda the other way around tbh, nazi germany built their propaganda appartus around how US oligarchs setup jim crow/generally kept their workers down
they got idea of segregation from the US.
yes, and the specific social contral mechanisms built to keep it alive
Yeah, pretty much literally.
The people we elected to stop them didn’t.
A lack of empathy gets you into a position of power so you can be effectively evil.
just look at THOMAS.
That fuckin tank engine. The root of all evil.
