The fact that we have Hitler to study and know better yet his supporters don’t get it proves our schools failed us yet it’s close to impossible to get anyone to look into their deep corruption.

Teacher whistleblowers have been trying to warn that our schools are corrupt at WhiteChalkCrime.com and EndTeacherAbuse.org since 2002 and we could have avoided Trump had people paid attention. We’re not going anywhere good until leaders and reporters look into our schools!

Parents have failed us, more like. It's their job to supplement the schools!

Karen Horwitz's avatar

So many have failed us. However, so many don’t know because no one will talk about it so it’s hard to blame parents. I do blame the unions for covering it up and leaving teachers in fear so they won’t talk. Once people learn about what’s been going on they’ll see how much they didn’t know. When corruption starts it uses fear to control everything. Parents really are made intentionally clueless.

Nancy L. Hoffmann's avatar

Yes and no. Some parents are too "busy" to be bothered with facts. (Can you tell I'm a former teacher?)

They’re profiting from the abuse of teachers, the mass shootings, the low funding of schools and the mistreatment of educational institutions. Trump said it himself and made a lot of his MAGA base angry (not enough because they’re stupid). He said when asked by a reporter why he chose to hire from outside our country. “We need to hire intelligent people to train our people here.” When the reporter gave him a rebuttal he said, “No, we don’t have intelligent people.” He has literally contradicted everything he said he was going to support and he’s profiting from the people he knows are not intelligent enough to recognize it. They are stupid enough to believe they’re benefiting from his corruption.

Yes the crooks holding power in education are profiting just as Trump is now profiting by running our government. My mission is exposing this and getting them out. Granted now Trump wants them crooked but if a Democratic leader were to fix our schools, they’d be a hero and elected by a large margin. Abraham Lincoln warned that the way of the schoolroom in one generation will be the way of the government in the next. The problem is education is too boring to get people reading about it. But once they do they’ll discover that this is the issue that will save us from stupidity.

I love education. I didn’t enjoy school until college because I developed my own pace and didn’t have family distractions as an adult. After I left the military I became an ESL teacher in overseas. I tutored people over nights and studied before class. Then did my day job and repeat for 10 years overseas until I came back stateside. People’s situations tend to dictate what they’re able to give to education. That and their drive to persevere. I just wanted to survive my childhood and then see what life had to offer.

I like your name. Wish more people were seeking the truth! Check out my latest post at my site about how education is connected to the Epstein card. https://open.substack.com/pub/karenhorwitz/p/phony-conspiracies-have-cleverly?r=px1l8&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

I’m eager to get the truth about education known because I know it will unite people. So many voted for him because they’re mad at our corrupt schools and liberals for not caring about how corrupt they are. Plus, we all have to live together whether decent or smart. Good schools use to keep us not so far apart

Key is outing the teachers unions. They’re complicit and I prove that in my book that’s won 7 awards because those who read it are amazed but I can’t get the local book store to sell it while Randi Weingarten, head of the union, was booked for a presentation at my local store with her book that says the same thing as mine about how teachers are democracy’s keepers but leaves out that they’re not section do their job because they’re puppets— everyone is afraid of the crooks including our unions. The Democrats don’t get that the unions sold out. They will if they read my book.

Gwen Croft's avatar

unfortunately history isn’t taught in schools any more. emphasis is on getting a job- usually a low paying job in the trades. not studying and learning history is what causes it to “ repeat” itself. there will always be wanna be kings and dictators but we must learn from history and defeat them to preserve our freedoms - for which so many Americans- and non- Americans- have given their lives to secure.

Trump Nazi Family needs to stand trial for Treason…

Remember Nuremberg!

Katey's avatar

Trump's 1st wife said Trump kept a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed. Trump has been mimicking Hitler's speeches, phrases & body gestures. Trump and his father were known Nazis decades ago. It wasnt going well. His father suggested they keep it secret bc it was bad for business.

If you’re vulnerable to it, the algorithm will bring you to information that actually tells you the Holocaust did not happen. Telling the reader that news is a hoax. I know someone who believes it. 🤯

⭐🇺🇸🇺🇦 “The Torch That Traveled Time”

In a land where the noise tries to muddle the truth,

Where tyrants spin lies to confuse every youth,

A bright little torch from an earlier age

Sparked up once again

like a light on a stage.

It came from the families who fought long ago—

The WW2 heroes who wanted us to know

That fascism falls when the brave stand upright,

When goodness unites

and the wrong fears the light.

They crossed stormy waters with grit in their eyes,

They stared down the monsters who trafficked in lies.

And though many fell, their courage lives on

In the souls of the elders

who rise at each dawn.

Now Ukraine stands tall with that same steady flame,

Resisting invasion in freedom’s own name—

Fighting a tyrant who stomps, grabs, and takes,

Yet fails to extinguish

the fire he awakes.

And here in America, darkness still creeps

In screens where the propaganda quietly seeps.

FOX sells confusion, the right-wingers spin,

Trump spokespeople twist

where the truth should begin.

They claim the economy’s shiny and fair

While millions can hardly afford basic care.

Insurance climbs higher, food bills never rest—

Yet the liars insist

that their fiction is best.

But the grandparents rise with a wisdom so strong,

Saying, “Truth must be lifted when falsehood goes wrong!”

With bright glowing phones and determination fierce,

They share Indy media

that corruption can’t pierce.

They tap out the comments that open closed eyes,

They spread verified facts that unravel the lies.

They boost the reality reporters reveal,

Turning whispers of truth

into galvanized steel.

Each repost a torch, each comment a spark—

Together they brighten

the foggiest dark.

From WW2 bravery to Ukraine’s frontline fight,

The torch has kept traveling—

generation to light.

So honor the elders who answer the call,

Who guard democracy

for one and for all.

Their courage, inherited, proudly divine—

The torch of the truth

now burns in their line.

Small point: It is possible Christian Nationalist are perfectly aware of the origin of that term. It flag waves to the faithful, but is vague enough not to scare the other.

IDPROBABLYBEJANINE's avatar

They are aware they just choose to be asleep at the wheel!! Unlike us. "WOKE FOLK". We saw all of this and we will continue to stay AWAKE until his 💤😪😴🥱🟠🐷💩 is ousted by REAL WOKE AMERICANS! 🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙

Jameswantsthetruth's avatar

True Christian Nationalist are aware, yes. The problem is not enough of people believe the world is as full of hate as it once was. One of the other people in this thread said it, history isn’t taught like before. That’s by design. Hitler burned books and most of these kids won’t pick up one.

I watched enough of the Turning Point videos to see people show up to debate Kirk who didn’t have a real clue themselves. Who turned around and put on his hats and t-shirts. It was disgusting. Most of them were kids but we have adult MAGAphiles doing it too. Women who support these men that would make them dependent kitchen slaves. People of color who would just end up deported or dead and their children left as slaves. Trans or openly gay who will just be attacked and killed. People who are marginalized who want so badly to fit in just giving up their arguments because they didn’t want to fact check a snake. They say Maya Angelo coined a phrase, “If a person shows you who they are, believe them.” That’s real.

“Ignorance is bliss” (Thomas Gray, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, 1742; Internet). But, is it really? Truth is knowledge: seeing, hearing, believing, and working with issues at hand, whether personally palatable or not, for the good of all, not just the entitled few. Trump cultists are what's wrong with today's America. I'm so damn tired of the stupidity that is our life under this imbecilic moron-in-chief--- a convicted felon, no less--- that I long for the day when no one even dares to remember (say) his name. Trump's a mega-idiot, a total numbskull, but sillier still are the ignorant voters who elected him in the first place.

Here's what Wikipedia has about Deutsche Christen, the"Christian"movement Hitler's Nazis formed, they had their national Reichsbischof Müller who declared that what Hitler did was good Christian work…

It's hard to not see the similarity to Trump's/Flynn's National Christians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Christians_movement

Oliver Markus Malloy's avatar

All Nazis were Christians, because virtually all Germans were Christians, except for their Jewish victims.

More here, on the site of the US Holocaust Museum:

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-german-churches-and-the-nazi-state

Hitler didn't come up with the Holocaust. Martin Luther did, hundreds of years before Hitler was even born.

More info on Martin Luther's demand for a Holocaust:

https://www.fascism.link/p/maga-nazis-dont-want-you-to-know

Vau Geha's avatar

Sure, but not all followed those Deutsche Christen as willingly. Notably, there was the Bekennende a Kirche (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessing_Church) that did oppose the Nazis, which certainly only organized after the Nazis tried to get the churches under their control with the Deutsche Christen. The best known member of the Bekennende Kirche was of course Martin Niemõller, who initially supported Hitler, voted for him while elections were still free but then realized his mistake and paid for it with his life. And all of these are just Protestants. About half of German Christians were Catholics, of course.

Vau Geha's avatar

And Luther did not invent antisemitism, he certainly wasn't better than other Christians of his time, this was maybe one of very few points where he agreed with the catholic church, sadly.

Cherie Miller Haas's avatar

Could you write this in a way that can be shared with Trump supporters who are on the edge of leaving him and need that push? One that doesn't call them "uneducated" for example. I would love to share this with a family member.

Oliver Markus Malloy's avatar

Unfortunately the fact that MAGA are uneducated is the core problem. To leave that part out defeats the whole point.

Nancy L. Hoffmann's avatar

Or probably just low IQ.

Jameswantsthetruth's avatar

Most of the low IQ in MAGA happens because they’ve been taught their whole life that anything that sounds liberal is false. That literally limits most books. This is why most of them just tell themselves that the holocaust was fake. They believe that and a large number of them “love Hitler”the guy that I mentioned earlier burned books as part of the first steps in his control. They are raised to reject education.

This is why they’re “uneducated and have a low IQ.”

Trump himself has been on news media literally saying the Constitution of the United States is from the Civil War. This is their representative and unfortunately our representative now. He represents their mind state and the lack of desire for knowledge. He and they make up what they believe to be true. There is no more evidence needed. They just reject evidence. I mean look at how Immigration is handled or how Drug Enforcement is handled in the Caribbean. Zero evidence to support unlawful actions. The only people who have had to provide evidence for anything are those of us who believe in the law, who believe in education, who believe in reality over The Nationalist Agenda.

IDPROBABLYBEJANINE's avatar

AMEN!!

Jameswantsthetruth's avatar

Exactly

Cherie Miller Haas's avatar

My family member with whom I would like to share this information is not uneducated anymore than I am. We have simply read different things and developed different ways of approaching life. I continue to educate but not with anything that would be considered insulting to him.

Oliver Markus Malloy's avatar

>”I continue to educate but not with anything that would be considered insulting to him.”

___

I hear ya. And how has that worked out for you so far? Convinced him yet, after 9 years? No? And you think sharing this article might finally make a difference, if only there were no insults in it?

Here’s why that won’t work:

Nazi propaganda is based on emotion, not reason. You can’t reason someone out of believing Nazi propaganda. Nazi propaganda indoctrinates people against believing anyone who disagrees. If you show them facts, they ignore the facts.

Nazi propaganda makes people feel good: “Your problems aren’t your fault. It’s those evil minorities and Democrats who ruin your life. I will fix your life by getting rid of them. You are special. You are destined for greatness. You are part of the master race. The master religion. The master country. You are superior to the people who cause the problems in your life.”

Hearing stuff like that makes people feel good, and that’s why they WANT to believe it.

The truth, that they’re not special and everything they believe is bullshit, makes them feel bad. They DO NOT WANT to believe any truth that makes them feel bad.

So, what’s the solution? Making them feel bad about believing Nazi propaganda.

For example: “Only dumb people believe that Trump is Jesus.”

Your MAGA family member will most likely agree with that, because he is not like “them.” And there it is: you just drove a wedge between him and the other MAGA, because they’re the dumb ones. Not him.

Cherie Miller Haas's avatar

I see what you're saying. And you're right. After all this time, I only succeed in annoying him. I guess I'm sensitive to insulting language, because I can hear his voice in my head reacting to it. And I know that some highly intelligent people seem to be okay with all the crap.

Jameswantsthetruth's avatar

I wish you luck. MAGA family literally destroy families. Best wishes that you’re able to wake them up but my stomach turns just thinking of the odds. It’s almost easier to wake up Non family members.

Cherie Miller Haas's avatar

I agree. I have much more productive conversations with non-family members. I think when people know you too well, there's less respect for my opinion.

Jameswantsthetruth's avatar

Exactly! It’s unfortunate too because you wouldn’t be speaking with them at all if you didn’t care. Theirs a problem with MAGA and I’m starting to see it in people in general. They believe because you care it makes you weak. Care is what we’re lacking. If there was more compassion it wouldn’t be so easy to recruit ICE agents who kidnap people, separate families, and send children to detention centers. If there was more care it wouldn’t be so easy to bomb boatmen with no evidence of crime. If there was more care it wouldn’t be so easy to make death threats against elected officials who simply state “follow your oath and refuse illegal or unlawful orders.”

You’re not weak because you care. You’re exactly what America is supposed to stand for. 🫡🇺🇸✊

Cherie Miller Haas's avatar

This is something that I fear. At the same time, I wonder how much of this lack of compassion is coming from online sources as opposed to real people. These days it's hard to know what's coming from Russian, Chinese, etc. bots who are trying to divide us, seemingly successfully. Or are the keyboard warriors the real people who feel free to be awful when no one really knows them? It seems like people are nicer in real life. If we practice that niceness and compassion in real life, we should be that way online as well. I keep holding out hope that compassion will win out in the end and that these people who lack compassion online would express compassion when faced with it in person.

Nancy L. Hoffmann's avatar

Don’t MAGA people go to the same schools we do? Or just to “Christian” schools? Or what??

Cherie Miller Haas's avatar

There's a lot of life and so many other influences after high school, and sadly, if they/we don't keep up our knowledge we can be influenced away from it. Also, there is new perspective over time. Example, finding out that policies we've grown up with and accepted are actually racist. It can be a hard shift.
