Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn’t identify with one particular party.
it’s like our education & welfare systems have been intentionally defunded for decades to keep us in line with our ruling classes’ desires and make us buy into silly groupthink ideas like american exceptionalism; but, of course, that’s the not true since that can only happen in oligarchies like russia or china and, also, could never happen to us, the greatest country that the world has ever seen. /s
And are history as a nation is very white-washed, and even still it makes places like Florida have hurt feelings enough that they create laws to remove even the tiny bits of truth we actually still taught. You can’t talk about black history, that is reverse discrimination! You can’t talk about treating everyone fairly, that’s the work of Satan’s DEI program!
Using the rules/laws to further their racist/fascist views by talking in code and carefully crafted arguments that sounds “fair” to people with no critical thinking.
We can’t teach our kids media literacy or they’ll stop believing our propaganda
It’s not so much that education has suddenly been defunded (for white people maybe). It’s more that “education” has always been about privilege and indoctrination. It has always been directly opposed to “critical thinking”.
