“My family is the biggest contributor of soft money to the Republican National Committee. I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence. Now I simply concede the point. They are right … We expect a return on our investment.”
—Betsy DeVos in 1997
Of course they confirmed her.

“Hillary would have appointed someone to gut public education too, bro. Here’s a youtube about it made by a masked idiot.”
Trying to use the schools to bring about “Gods Kingdom” is as silly as that Quiverfull nonsense.
Think about what a terrible parent someone must be if their only aim is to replicate lockstep ideological/theological copies of themselves?
You can only make perfect little Christian soldiers up to the point where they interact with the outside world and someone shows them that everything they’ve been taught is complete nonsense.
“Wait. You mean I can have sex with my bro Jeff like I want and there will be zero eternal consequences?”
“Yup. I mean, you need to make sure Jeff is cool with it too first but yeah.”
So no, really.
Remember this in 2018:
We need to bumrush at the state level and kick out every corrupt Republican we can. If we don’t, we won’t come back from that.
Republicans are against:
· Public Education
· Clean Air and Water
· Healthcare
· Workers’ rights
· Basic human rights for all
· The future of our planet itself in the form of the climate change threat
This isn’t hyperbolic.
This is who they have shown themselves to be time and again.
They are *absolutely* The Enemy. Every one of them.
