Political™ This Spells Disaster for American Education

He has a super high IQ so this is probably it, a fun highly inteligent joke.

u/Mrmorbid81 12d ago
High IQ? Naw, he’s high in lots of other areas of life like bank account, Number of K-Holes he’s experienced, number of turkey baster kids he’s made & abandoned, government workers he’s fired, government contracts he’s racked up, social awkwardness & things he’s taken credit for, but a high IQ is definitely not one of them. That myth needs to die out as soon as possible.

He's trolling us. He is trying to provoke more violence because they want to declare martial law against us. People need to stop the dangerous destruction.

Wait, you dont think anything will stop them once they decide they want martial law, do you?

u/TheMadPhilosophist 15d ago
If marshall law is declared, everything that comes next will depend on the generals.
During his previous presidency, I viewed an ex-general talking, and he appeared to allude that if a president tries to subvert the US Constitution and the democracy, that there were measures in place to preserve our democracy. He did not go into it and he fumbled with his words and just left it at that.
My takeaway was, that the generals at the time (and maybe right now) had a greater commitment to the Constitution than they did to any sitting president (and I imagine that this still holds true, especially when the president is a draft dodger).

I think it is a dangerous game to play. People should protest loudly, but the vandalism and attacks will work against the people. That is what I'm saying.

No polite action will reverse this course towards autocracy in the US. We need to stop being delusional about it.

But there is no productive alternative left tbh. They even contest the legitimacy of the judiciary branch, are ignoring congress, are controlling or threatening the media and are misusing public agencies.

This is a standard tactic in high-conflict litigation, and eventually, they will seek enforcement.

When peaceful protests are overlooked it makes Violent protests unavoidable.
Not to straight up advocate violence as a "go to" but when they turn their nose up and laugh,/restrict or try to outlaw gathering and protests from happening then what do you think will happen?

u/justme1031 15d ago
Martial law and then what?

u/Sad_Ad5369 15d ago
No. They will declare martial law once they think there won't be significant opposition. What the people do will not factor in. Don't stop protesting because of the fear of a martial law, because when it comes to fascists, they will find a reason anyways.
3
u/justme1031 15d ago
I'm not advocating for anyone to stop protesting. I'm saying that vandalism and property destruction must stop. Peaceful protest is more powerful.

u/Letters-of-disgust 14d ago
Protest is inherently violent. It must put forth the threat of violence, or else it won't be heard.

FYI- Early voting to take back the House starts March 22.
Special elections on April 1 happening in Florida District 1 and 6 and upcoming in NY District 21. If we can flip the seats to Democrats, we can take back House majority and weaken the Felon’s agenda.
There is also a critical State Supreme Court election in Wisconsin on April 1.
Please help spread the word to strategically vote. Every conversation and vote matters. We need all the help we can get.

40% percent of Americans think the earth is 6000 years old. 50% think that Trump is a good president. The idiocy is boundless.

u/OkIndustry6159 15d ago
This is disingenuous and I will correct it every time. It's not 50%. Its 33%. That's it! That's all it took to take down the US.
26
u/VagueSomething 15d ago
33% voted enthusiastically for Trump. Another 33% chose not to vote because they were content with Trump getting in. Only 33% tried to Resist.
Not voting in an age where all of human history is in your hand so you have no excuse to be ignorant is choosing to support the worst case result. Anyone who didn't vote cast their vote for the winner.
14
u/drubus_dong 15d ago
No, it is not. The voting population is a sample for the overall population. And it's way beyond representative. If I had said that 50% voted for Trump, that would have been incorrect. But I didn't say that. I said 50% think he's a good president. Which is extremely well founded in a survey that had a sample that covered over 60% of the entire population.

u/Knight0fdragon 15d ago
Not voting is a choice. You can’t say that a person who didn’t vote was going to vote either way because their vote was not to vote. You are cherry picking data to get results you want.

u/drubus_dong 15d ago
I didn't say that. Your problem is that you don't know how surveys work. You should look that up. It's an important thing to know.
1
u/Knight0fdragon 15d ago
You should look up how surveys work, only 77 million of the 245 million eligible voters voted for Trump. Last I checked, 77/245 is not anywhere near 50%.
5
u/AdministrativeCar868 15d ago
u/drubus_dong is correct here. The sample size is large enough to represent the entire population. However, that is only accurate for the time of the election. Sentiment could have changed since then.

u/Prosthemadera 15d ago
It's still misleading to say "50% of Americans" when you mean "50% of people who voted". It could be a similar number, it could be not, but again if you want to be accurate you should specify that.
Especially since you have two groups: 40% of Americans believe the Earth is 6000 years old and you have 50% of voters who think Trump is a good president. Those two groups are not directly comparable or on the same level, if you want to be accurate.
Obviously, the numbers are too high and people are idiots but doesn't Reddit love being overly accurate about minor details?
3
u/drubus_dong 15d ago
I don't mean 50% of people who voted. I mean 50% of Americans. That's why I said it the way I did.
There are no grounds to assume that the non voters would deviate from the voters in their vote share. You could assume that everyone smart understands the importance of voting, and therefore, the non voters are less smart. And since dumb people vote republican, the share of Republicans amongst the non voters is probably higher than 50%. In the context of my comment, that would mean that my assessment of 50% is conservative. If anything, the statement is too correct. But that seems a pointless discussion.
Regarding the overlap between creationists and Trump voters, that must be almost 100%. Both opinions are mind-boggling stupid. Given that intelligence is normal distributed and averages at 100 and has a standard deviation of 15, there are simply not enough stupid people around to populate both groups if they are disjunct.

Cuz the federal funding is really helping them out right
3
u/Letters-of-disgust 14d ago
I mean, you laugh but from what I've managed to scrounge up in some quick google searches and fast math:
US spent 251 Billion on the dept. of education in 2024.
US has 53~ million kids in public school, both pre-k and high school
(Source: https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d14/tables/dt14_203.10.asp )
251,000,000,000 / 53,000,000 comes to spending about 4,800 dollars a year per student.
That doesn't even scratch the lowest private school costs lmfao. So yeah, it probably won't do any good if it's so underfunded.
5
u/GrumpyJenkins 15d ago
They’ve been doing this for a long time. To paraphrase Carlin, they (all US politicians) have no interest in well-educated, critical thinkers. They want people just smart enough to run the machines, but don’t bother to question anything.
This administration is just being more open about it.
2
u/the_mad_atom 15d ago
True, but Carlin wasn’t talking about the politicians, who he believed are just there to provide the people with the illusion of choice. He was talking about the ownership class, ie the oligarchs, who own all the land and media and have all the politicians and judges in their pocket because the whole country has already been bought and paid for.

u/spurburypolice91 15d ago
Wouldn't that be a reason to overhaul the department and start fresh? I doubt that is what's happening, but one can only hope.
