Summary
Donald Trump announced Peggy Schwinn as the next U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education.
The decision sparked backlash from his MAGA supporters on Truth Social, who reminded him of his campaign promise to dismantle the Department of Education.
Critics accused Trump of betraying his vow to reduce federal involvement in education, with several threatening to withdraw support if the department isn’t shut down.
Many expressed frustration over staffing the department instead of eliminating it as pledged.
It still amazes me that this idiots think he gives a fuck about them or what they think.
MAGA fans never turn on Trump. They are just temporarily confused while waiting for new orders on what to think and how to rationalize the contradictions in their heads. It’s a cult.
Indeed. He could gaslight them 360 degrees over and over. Hell, if donvict suddenly started adopting full-on progressive policies, I bet more than a few of them would stick with the cult and not even notice.
As long as he couched it in hateful-sounding stuff: “we’ll start paying the forgotten man a fair fucking wage and really stick it to the globalist elites!” (they assume it’s white, cishet, xtian and actually only men, and the globalist elites just means THE JOOS) And so on. And then actually go and push for it. The only people that would notice would be his owner-donors and the Republicans he calls “RINOs” - meaning, Republicans that really know why they are Republicans…
Withdraw support? They know he doesn’t need votes anymore, right? 🥴
Useful idiots realize they are no longer useful. Video at 11.
That’s the rough bit: they’re still useful, and they won’t withdraw their support. What are they gonna do? Vote for a Democratic representative? You’ll just see the pro-trump republican lose to the anti-trump republican, and that’s a difference that only goes as deep as campaign speeches.
What about another Tea Party? I realize there’s only one Koch, and the president isn’t black, but it was all about principle, wasn’t it?
Trump may not feel he needs these people anymore because all they have to offer are votes. He can’t run again unless the rules change, and if he manages to change the rules, then he will change them so radically that he still wont need their votes. He is only listening to folks who can give him gratuities.
Only a matter of time before these jokers drop the first syllable when they call Trump a “reneger”. Then all bets are off. These are the folks who like watering the tree of liberty every now and then, after all.
Get to watering, patriots!
First, I can certainly understand why MAGAts want the Dept. of Education demolished. They are probably tired of so many people being better educated than them and want to even things out without actually going to the effort of educating themselves.
Second, this is a step in wrecking the education department. He chose a charter school supporter from Tennessee, after all. It could be worse, I suppose. He could have dredged someone up from Alabama or Missouri to appoint, Still, this is not someone who will be good for the Dept. of Ed.
These people are just too dumb to recognize that he’s doing exactly what they want.
Dude isn’t even president yet and they’re already out of patience. Toddlers just like Donald. The lot of em.
I’d love for them to turn on him and have a tantrum like Jan 6…
These people are just too dumb to recognize that he’s doing exactly what they want.
What they need is a little education. If only there was some department, maybe at the federal level, to ensure that the average citizen isn’t a mouth-breathing moron.
If only education wasn’t hidden behind a paywall then they wouldn’t have an excuse. When education is free, it’s a CHOICE to remain ignorant and be led around like a lapdog. Instead in America it’s like the ivory tower has a copyright on the shit they didn’t make. Shit originally copyrights were only good 14 years, but then corporations could only exist for the public benefit (and that doesn’t just mean for solely profit).
No one owns information, it’s all of ours, our birthright by being human. Honestly, if someone is against higher education I assume they are anti American. They would HAVE to be, because they’re rooting for us to fall behind in tech and to have less secure defenses - which is just idiotic. Countries do just about everything to try and reach those heights and to Willy-nilly abandon it for the lols? That’s like wanking one off into your own face and thinking now your pregnant levels of stupidity. Sterilize that person, for the good of us all
The next four years are going to be replete with tasty morsels of schadenfreude.
Unfortunately those morsels are going to be about as enjoyable as eating fun sized snickers bars while getting drug behind a horse.
Dogs like Fetterman can hunt for schadenfreude truffles.
Wow, MAXWA that really and truly want to shut down the DOE must be childless, empty nesters, very fucking rich, or have a tradwife that is going to “teach” their kids out of The Babble for free.
Also, even if you are one of these things, you have to be extremely idiotic and utterly incapable of thinking about actual consequences not to know that this would drag America down.
It’s a states rights issue, like the civil war. Some states insist on the right to be racist, uneducated, permanently stuck in poverty, easily manipulated
Not that I think dismantling the department of education is in any way a good idea, these morons know that it takes time to dismantle entire institutions, no? Like you can’t just not hire someone to run it and then hope everything falls into place. You hire someone to dismantle it.
