I want to imagine Republicans actually care about driving out good teachers. But getting rid of education is probably just a win for them.

[-] Tenthrow@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago

They are already driving out the doctors.

[-] kescusay@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

Only because they're astoundingly shortsighted. This sort of crap causes a brain drain, and absolutely obliterates economies long-term. What we're seeing right now is the beginning.

It's why desantis is actively trying to make Florida schools worse. Education = Bad

[-] whatisallthis@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

We’re gonna have to see if they can hit a moving target at 20 yards before Republicans can determine if they’re a good teacher.

[-] Got_Bent@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Is that with a football or a bullet? Both scenarios fit.

[-] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 96 points 1 year ago

Republicans are awful people. Not every Democrat or leftist is a good person - just look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear, or turds like Anthony Weiner. But every Republican has chosen to support a party which revolves around anger and bullying those who are vulnerable.

American conservatism is distilled cruelty.

Both parties are garbage. Not necessarily the people. To say one side of shit is better than the other side of shit just means your not looking at the shit the right way.

"MuH bOtH sIdEs" as you're in a thread about hateful right-wing politics and people driving an objectively good teacher out of her state. You're not very bright.

If the Democrats are like a flood of sewage that comes unbidden into your home, the Republicans are like you constructed a sluice specifically to pipe it in.

[-] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

No. Democrats are like having to eat mushy vegetables with no salt because they're healthy for you. Undesirable, but necessary.

Republicans are like being paid to eat something gross from the back of the refrigerator. And only rich people get the money. If you're poor, you just have to eat the garbage. Both unnecessary and disgusting.

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

The people are the party for Republicans. It's their identity

I know some Democrats and they just hate Republican policies because, well, they're not evil people. But being a Democrat isn't part of their identity

Republicans are actually terrible people. Period

No surprise there.

I live in Idaho and a lot of my neighbors are so fucking dumb it seems like some sort of inside joke I'm not a part of.

[-] Rmcc73@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

I feel you. I'm Idaho born but have lived in CDA for 14 years and watched the community go from trying to distance itself from far right racism to barely dog whistling and trying to shut down the local collage.

"leftists are the ones cancelling people" say the Republicans who drove a teacher out of her state for supporting queer people

[-] Iwasondigg@lemmy.one 56 points 1 year ago

You couldn't pay me to live in Idaho. Or Florida.

[-] Roundcat@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Y'all are getting payed to live in shitty places?

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haven't you heard? Educating children is leftist commie bullshit. They don't need math or science or logic just like their parents didn't have. Just keep them at home and thump the Bible at them every now and then, they'll turn out fine.

[-] Hildegarde@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

The article doesn't say where she taught. Post Falls. I'm not surprised. Sounds like Post Falls.

[-] Dangy@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Post Falls is where my ultra conservative Catholic school was based. No surprise here

[-] GiddyGap@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago

Every time someone like this flees, conservatives celebrate. One less vote against them and one step closer to their dream.

[-] Saneless@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yep. A country so shitty that 35 states are unlivable. But that still gets them 70 senators and enough Governors to change the Constitution

[-] febra@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

Fascist America...

[-] Drinvictus@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

Nicely done. Let them rot
