Other people's young children. People they don't like. They were promised retribution against the people who had the temerity to request they not outright act like assholes.

Remember, "conservatives" and Republicans aren't for anything. They are only against.

The occasional DEI 13yo black girl will be allowed.

Why do you think they're cutting the ed department? Poor kids don't need to learn! They need to get crushed by industrial equipment earn!!!

I finally figured out I can use my teacher email address to play the free "education" version of Minecraft, and I can't stop that phrase from running through my head every time I play

Trump loves the poorly educated.

Cons and repubs will sell this whole country into slavery rather than pull their own weight.

It’s just “cue” in that context. “Queue” is just what it’s called referring to a line, like standing in a line with other people. Maybe if we had a goddamn department of goddamn edu-goddamn-cation everyone would know this!

❤️ it’s cool, I’m glad you didn’t take what I said as too snarky, it was all in fun!

💯: I love snark and sass and can give and take. I can easily make fun of my own shortcomings 😂 this is one of them.

Oh I think we all know the kind of young children Republicans want to keep as second class citizens…

They’re for socioeconomic hierarchy. Where your breeding stock is the main thing that determines your place.

Other people's children. Theirs are taking music lessons and going to soccer after school and getting professional help with their college applications.

They are for enriching themselves over all else.

Oh they're for things - meddling in other people's business, telling everyone who doesn't agree with them that they don't care, we must obey their precepts because they know better than us how we should live, stripping women and minorities of their rights, stealing elections when it's in their favor - they're for lots of stuff when it only benefits them and not America at large.

I think kids could do that in Indiana(where I live). Jr. H.S. and Sr. H.S. kids can work almost all night (school days and weekends/summers) now.

I wish I believed this anymore but we've come to the point where, when given the option to care about an issue when their family member is affected by it or to double down on Trump, most people seem to be doubling down on Trump. It's like someone said "the weak people care about an issue only when their family is affected by it" and these people have all decided it's more important to look really hardcore and not give a shit about their loved ones.

That's not true. The Republican Party was hijacked. Real conservatism doesn't stand for any of this shit, but we are voiceless because the party rejected us a long time ago.
