Republicans, limited in intelligence as they like to prove every damn day (See Tommy Tuberville, Marjorie Traitor Greene, Lindsey Graham, James Comer, Gym Jordan, "Ted" Cruz, Lauren Boebert, Kremlin Kevin... any of them!), have always hated "college professors" and the idea of education. They deride both at every opportunity and it would be hard to believe that there has ever been a Republican in Congress that didn't get behind any proposals of cuts that fund education, or, as they call it, "indoctrination." Most of them appear to fear what their pea brains can't get around. Some do "get it" and fear it even more. They call it being "woke" and being "woke" gets in the way of their plans for a glorious reich that any supreme despot, past or present, would be proud of inspiring. How dare people care about fairness and other human beings, or, have a sense of what is going on in the country and the world, or want to leave the world a little better than it was when they came along. In short, how dare decent folks stand up to the Republican Party goal of total authoritarian Nazism, the golden dream of every republican since the 1960s.
Even as far back as when I graduated from college many decades ago, it was the small-minded conservative element that was always going on about colleges being hotbeds of "Marxism" and "Communism." Whatever. If it meant being able to read any book on the shelf, they were against it and they still are. Funny thing is, 40-50 years later, we're still not a communist country, and, yes that's good. The books didn't hurt us a bit.
However, that doesn't stop your typical Republican nutjob from incessantly whining and complaining about their fears that have no basis in reality. Nut states like Flor-i-duh even boast about turning their state into a place "where 'woke' goes to die." Very proud of it too. That's right, soon they will be calling their states "Sanctuary States- Free From Wokeness!" I look forward to the day when these goons start driving ice picks into their own foreheads out of the fear that they might inadvertently get smarter and start caring or being constructive enough to help improve the human condition.
So, here we are: Tonight's meme is a glimpse of the near future, a future where we may have to go all Indiana Jones and beat the living shit out of the nazis ourselves if those we've elected and those they appoint to protect us and administer justice continue to just stand by and do next to nothing because they're just too grossly timid and just hate to make waves. I guess their message to us is, "You're on your own. We're too busy dialing for dollars and lining out pockets with cash." We've already seen all those traitorous red-hatted cop-killers try to overthrow the government on 1/6/21 and not one of them has faced a totally deserved firing squad.
even communist nations (except north korea) are almost indistinguishable from the usa any more. and it isn't communism. it's unregulated capitalism. we and they have billionaires (oligarchs) and the 99.9% who have to hustle to make ends meet.
Russia is about 4 years ahead of us in purging insufficiently loyal oligarchs. Once our reich starts, we'll be doing that too.
big diff? we elected ours.
