seriously at least 37 percent
I think you'd be surprised, even among the deeply religious. Which "church" is supposed to direct gov't? Catholics, Muslims, Baptists? Even among those groups, it's a fairly small minority that actually thinks the way MTG thinks.

the crazy thing is that the system is so rigged for re-election, she'll probably stay in office for awhile.

it’s so weird seeing closet homosexuals. Doesn’t this guy know that it’s ok to be gay? I mean, he’s sucked at least three dicks, and has been blown by 4 different dudes. I wish his dad wasn’t so hateful and he could just let his freak flag fly.

He says the country was built by white people... completely ignorant of the fact that the white people he is referring to owned slaves. And the slaves did the work

So who actually built this country?

Well, if you really want to get down to it… White people. Who made the plans to build? Who found the labor? I mean. You kind of have to give it up to whitey.

School's out forever: Arizona moves "to kill public education" with new universal voucher law
Families who bail on public school will get $7,000 per kid in GOP's new scheme: "Every red state" urged to follow

Last Friday, while the country reeled from the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, Arizona made history of a different sort. Legislators in the Grand Canyon State passed a universal school voucher bill that, once signed by Gov. Doug Ducey, will become the most wide-reaching school privatization plan in the country.

In his January State of the State address, Ducey called on Arizona lawmakers to send him bills that would "expand school choice any way we can," and the Republican-dominated legislature obliged, delivering last Friday's bill, which will open a preexisting program for Empowerment Scholarship Accounts (ESAs) up to the entire state. In practice, the law will now give parents who opt out of public schools a debit card for roughly $7,000 per child that can be used to pay for private school tuition, but also for much more: for religious schools, homeschool expenses, tutoring, online classes, education supplies and fees associated with "microschools," in which small groups of parents pool resources to hire teachers.

Ducey said the law had "set the gold standard in educational freedom" in the country, and right-wing politicians and education activists quickly agreed. Corey DeAngelis, the research director of Betsy DeVos' school privatization lobby group American Federation for Children, declared on Twitter that Arizona "just took first place" when it comes to school choice. Anti-critical race theory activist Christopher Rufo — the Manhattan Institute fellow who this spring called for fostering "universal public school distrust" in order to build support for "universal school choice" — tweeted, "Every red state in the country should follow [Ducey's] lead," since the law "gives every family a right to exit any public school that fails to educate their children or reflect their values."




It's shocking how quickly it's all slipping away. At this point, I don't know how all of these moves can be anything less than the desire to have a large, uneducated, malleable, and subservient working class. It will be a caste system of the have's and the have not's, and unfortunately the people who will be the worst off for it are the ones rampantly cheering it all on.

They want to eliminate abortion and will go after contraception, but then won't want to offer any social services while gutting education. I've always remained fairly hopeful that we'll see our way out of this, but I just don't know what this country's future looks like in the next 10 years.

Hopefully we can fall short of a theocracy if these fuckers get enough pushback

So who actually built this country?
I mean, land just kind of builds itself. It's good that way
