Oklahoma in 20 years will be an extremely interesting case study in what happens when a state intentionally nukes its own education system. Remember… this is the state where education is so underfunded many schools are only open 4 days a week!.

I can’t believe the “They’re eating the dogs they’re eating the cats” lie actually caused a significant shift rightward in Springfield
Mapped by county: 2020-2024 vote shift. Trump made gains across nearly all demographics, especially Hispanics. His diverse working-class coalition helped him sweep all 7 swing states and see big gains in Democratic strongholds. It’s the Democrats' worst performance since 1988.

If you voted for Trump you absolutely did vote for his number one policy goal that both he and Harris talked about endlessly. If backfires and worsens inflation like everybody said it would you absolutely deserve to be on the receiving end of the biggest “I told you so” ever.
I’m reading a lot of snarky elitism out today where people are in effect writing “oh well this is what Americans voted for. sucks to suck” “reap what you sow” or “let them suffer and they’ll learn” etc. and I do not think this is correctly grounded in voter psychology. People.

Sotomayor should retire. like immediately just saying. She's 70 years old and has some health problems. If Trump ends up winning he could very well be able to pick her replacement and we'd end up with a 7-2 court which sounds like a nightmare scenario with a GOP trifecta.
