Rigged elections.

... child tax credits, child care subsidies, green new deal

Ironically, the bipartisan infrastructure bill has as much or more central planning / socialism as the build back better bill.

Somehow programs are only socialist if they help the poor or the environment.

Fox News' resident stooge Jesse Watters  called the child day care subsidies "government run child care"

Taxing the 1% is class warfare.

White supremacy and structural racism are non-issues.

There’s a war on Christianity and white males. And traditional families.

Oh no, the day has finally come where teachers turn on white kids.
Now I am nervous.

For years Republicans tried to convince us the poor were the problem. Now they are going after teachers.

From what I can gather, critical race theory is a legal theory taught in college. It is not taught in K - 12, but does influence how some courses are taught.

I don't know enough about it to comment with any authority. Republicans act like they are experts on the subject because they read something on the internet?

Personally, I do agree that traces of systemic racism still exist in the US. However, to say racism is any more woven into the fabric of western civilization and law than other cultures is poppycock. Humans tend to be ethnocentric. Overcoming that takes effort. The US is more multicultural than most if not all.

Also, the phenomena called white privilege is real, but it is more an absence of unfair mistreatment than the presence of unearned privileges. My take.

If  driving while black is due to white privilege; then the solution is to stop more people for driving while white. /s

OTOH, shools should not only teach what happened on  November 10, 1898 and May 31, 1921; they should also teach about the subsequent coverups. And so on.

Plus, there is a labor shortage because Biden is paying people to sit on their butts.

Climate Change.....

5 stages of climate change denial:

Stage 1: Deny the problem exists
Stage 2: Deny responsibility
Stage 3: Downplay the threat
Stage 4: Attack the solutions as too costly
Stage 5: It's too late

yep, the promise from politicians to change the weather to "better" by paying more taxes is certainly enticing

meanwhile India and China give no fucks and are building new coal plants daily and are only becoming more competitive on the global stage every day

You know what the solution to nearly every problem in the world is?  Energy too cheap to meter!  We have the technology now to do it cleanly but no we're spending trillions of dollars on bullshit.

And also why the fuck aren't recycling programs on the green agenda?  we waste sooooooo much garbage

Republican voters are too dumb to understand that fossil fuel companies pay Republican (and some Democratic) politicians to deny or downplay the overwhelming objective science that climate change is real, and it’s primarily spurred by human activity.
