Obvious Plan Is Obvious

These connections need to be made clear and people need to understand that these attempts to restrict rights and education are all connected and controlled by the extreme right religious groups. Look at the people behind these and they are all extreme religious fanatics. Don’t be fooled, this is a generations long attempt to both dumb down the country but to change the understanding / narrative to what the religious groups want to pretend was the history of this country. It is a long-term attempt to take over the country and turn it into the religious theocracy they demand we all live under. Hugs

Deranged Christian Fundamentalist (redundant?), multi-level marketing grifter and Amway heir, and former Secretary of Education Betsy Devos declared (again) that the department she oversaw should be eliminated. I’m shocked.

“I personally think the Department of Education should not exist,” said DeVos, nonprofit news site Florida Phoenix first reported. DeVos’ comment was received with cheers and applause as she spoke at the first national Moms for Liberty summit over the weekend.

We are helpfully told that the Moms for Liberty is a “conservative nonprofit founded in Florida that advocates for parents to have more influence over public school decisions.”

If they sounds familiar, these same moms demanded that their kids be mask and vaccination free to die from Covid, and screamed about CRT in schools (not a thing), that LGBTQ people should not exist in curriculum, and of course, erase any discussion of slavery less their lily-white slowflakes be disturbed.

Sarah Burris @ Raw Story reports on a New York Times report that seems to support my theory that we would not be here today if we had just held lipstick-on-a-pig Sarah Palin responsible for the assault on Gabriel Giffords and the deaths around her after she, Sarah Palin, painted a target on them [1.8.’11].

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters walked through the line crafted by Sarah Palin in 2008 that enabled Donald Trump’s success in 2016.

Writing in his bookInsurgency, Peters explained how using language about entitlement and victimhood from people like Rush Limbaugh and Phyllis Schlafly led straight to Palin and ultimately Trump

Palin was the one who attacked the establishment like the Bush family as “blue bloods” who could “pick and choose” the GOP’s winners over the will of the voters. Those “elites” The more they attacked her for being absurd or lacking in…
