maaan… how the fuck are people this uninformed about who donald trump is and what he's about? did all these people think supporting him would curry them favor, and make their people safer than if a less insane candidate took office? like, i geuinely don't understand how you hear what this motherfucker says and not realize his whole entire deal i hating people who aren't cishet white men. like i can get my friend who the first ever election she voted in in our country was 2016 when she grew up with different formats of propaganda, but he was president for four years, and this go around he's been more mask off, and the people saying he's dangerous have been more direct in their messaging.
like… how are people this illiterate beyond just reading comprehension? like, why don't you got anything comprehension, what is this?
54% of American adults have the reading comprehnsion skills of a 5th grader, or worse.
How?
Republicans have spent many decades defunding public education, with no effective pushback.
we're going to fix this. i don't know how yet. and it won't be easy. and it won't be short term. but we're going to fix this, so read to a kid. make them remember reading time as the best part of their day. make them love the things AI can't twist: physical artifacts
Also, vote for levies to fund local schools.
and also libraries and book mobiles. and help fund reading therapists however you can. give the children the things that helped you come up. that's all society has ever been. a 10k year long effort to give the kids a better future than the one we were given. it's just every 80 years we fuck it all up and give them a worse future. but if our ancestors voices can reach us, our voices can still be around as long as the truth needs to be told
