    I want to imagine Republicans actually care about driving out good teachers. But getting rid of education is probably just a win for them.

      Only because they’re astoundingly shortsighted. This sort of crap causes a brain drain, and absolutely obliterates economies long-term. What we’re seeing right now is the beginning.

        If they also cared about long term issues, West Virginia would be better off

        The venom is what they live for. They don’t want to actually fix a single thing

      We’re gonna have to see if they can hit a moving target at 20 yards before Republicans can determine if they’re a good teacher.

    Republicans are awful people. Not every Democrat or leftist is a good person - just look at Lemmygrad and Hexbear, or turds like Anthony Weiner. But every Republican has chosen to support a party which revolves around anger and bullying those who are vulnerable.

    American conservatism is distilled cruelty.

      Both parties are garbage. Not necessarily the people. To say one side of shit is better than the other side of shit just means your not looking at the shit the right way.

        “MuH bOtH sIdEs” as you’re in a thread about hateful right-wing politics and people driving an objectively good teacher out of her state. You’re not very bright.

        If the Democrats are like a flood of sewage that comes unbidden into your home, the Republicans are like you constructed a sluice specifically to pipe it in.

          No. Democrats are like having to eat mushy vegetables with no salt because they’re healthy for you. Undesirable, but necessary.

          Republicans are like being paid to eat something gross from the back of the refrigerator. And only rich people get the money. If you’re poor, you just have to eat the garbage. Both unnecessary and disgusting.

        I hope you’re white and heterosexual if you’re planning on taking that Idaho home. And not a woman who is capable of bearing children.

        Well, definitely don’t come to Florida, then. We’re having that issue, too. The heat index has been 110F+ for the last two weeks and I still see even more panhandlers than in recent years.

        I used to call Florida a toilet because it was fun to shit on, but I think it’s just a hellhole now. Vanishingly few benefits to living here, unless you have a lot of money.

          Yeah I would avoid Florida just due to the weather. Much more comfortable freezing to death than of heat.

        Hear you.

        I’m in the U.S.

        I finally bought a house in a horrible county about 10 years ago. I’m 62. I’ll end up living under a freeway overpass.

    Haven’t you heard? Educating children is leftist commie bullshit. They don’t need math or science or logic just like their parents didn’t have. Just keep them at home and thump the Bible at them every now and then, they’ll turn out fine.

    Every time someone like this flees, conservatives celebrate. One less vote against them and one step closer to their dream.

      Yep. A country so shitty that 35 states are unlivable. But that still gets them 70 senators and enough Governors to change the Constitution
