Hey, coming from a history teacher, (now, server as I make 3-4x as much) — it’s horrid! And I miss teaching every damn day! FUCK AMERICA! Here’s my questions to you.

3 parts:

1: I’m here to ask a legitimate question, if we all agree, that “Fascism”, is wrong then why is “ANTIFA”, now made the “enemy”??? Is it because now we’re living in a “Fascist State” or, (soon to be) state?? Lack of education?? Funding for public funding programs?? Do not know what “ANTIFA” truly means?, etc.

Because as Trump stated he, “he did not know Miller during elections”: so again, Trump: “didn’t even know the writer of Project 2025… but now a member of his cabinet”? So lie right?

The definition of “ANTIFA” means anti-fascism… so people who voted for Trump, how do you feel about this? As our economy is crumbling, are egg prices better? Food costs lower, wages higher? Are you MAGA voters living an “America First” life?

2: USA FAILS on ALL educational fields by a LONG shot we don’t even break the top 30 in anything, do you think this is why we have “president” who “won again”? I just want to understand the MAGA votes views… and want to know… America is not first in anything and prove me wrong PLEASE! So please explain why anyone thinks we’re #1, in honestly anything, but ego?

3: Finally question… if you voted MAGA, has Trump ACTUALLY helped you at all? If so please give me examples and FACTS so I can get a better understanding the voting you made the country suffer through? PLEASE enlighten me and others!

Finally thought: VOTE or STFU! You do not get to complain and comment about politics when your ass was too lazy or didn’t care enough to vote! Sit down and bow out because your voice DID NOT AND NOW doesn’t matter, just like you not voting put us here!

So ONLY comment if you had/have a voice with that vote please (any vote, not just MAGA).

Thank you!!!

    if we all agree, that “Fascism”, is wrong

    Republicans do not agree.

    If so please give me examples and FACTS

    It’s a religion, they have faith which is more powerful than facts.

      Which is asinine, right?

      Which is what?? (Religion) EDIT:MAGA

      I am a practicing Christian and this does NOT align with any of our views.

      Edit: VIEWS OF MY CHURCH!

        The ‘Prosperity Gospel’ does not align with Christian views. But it exists to allow “Christians” (heavy reliance on those quotes) to believe that having immense wealth is a sign that they are one of the chosen. These are the types of mental gymnastics certain people utilize to allow horrible anti-Christian behavior. Soon enough, you see Republicans having a little prayer session before they give massive tax cuts to the ultra-wealthy while taking health care away from millions.

        With you already being in a cult, you should be able to empathise with these people. They believe what they believe because they’ve been told to. Questioning that comes with consequences from the rest of the cult.

        When someone calls you a fucking idiot for worshiping some old storm god from a long dead bronze age religion who has had more “prophets” than most people have had pimples, you know how they feel when you question their delusions.

          I do not! My church does not preach to KILL anyone! Especially in the reality of today, the fuck you mean… that’s insane and would be a “cult” just because I have religion doesn’t mean I am in a cult. But cool thinking.

          That’s like saying, “I want free healthcare for all” and “you” people call us “socialists and communists” not knowing the difference. My religion doesn’t push down women’s rights, doesn’t care who you love, does not put the RICH before the people they “serve”, so you putting us all in ONE BOX, is asinine thinking!

          Again, my religion had NOTHING to do with who I voted for… I honestly would rather have a smart person in power who ACTUALLY understands laws, bills, vetos, and the difference, like Bernie… he fought for civil rights LEGIT FOUGHT for civil rights while the bitches in power would piss their pants in the same spot! So NO my religion has NOTHING to do with my smarts and understanding…

          I have degrees (and many PHD friends some who believe and some do not), but you trying to make me feel small and stupid because of my beliefs is ridiculous, who are you to say where we go after we die? We are all made of energy and who are YOU to say where my energy goes when we die? Or you die, or anyone?

          Energy goes SOMEWHERE and NO ONE has “scientifically” PROVED where it goes when we all die, so who are you to say religion is a cult?! So maybe you are “a stupid idiot” because NO ONE has stated that comment to me and I have atheist friends…

            You completely misunderstood my whole argument and instead of thinking about it for a minute, you reacted like many MAGA-cultists would. I’m not surprised since this is how you have been conditioned to react, probably since childhood. Maybe one day it will click with you. Until then, I’m really very happy you are no longer working as a teacher.

    Antifa has been branded by the GOP as a group that does not follow a specific ideology purely focused on fascism, they’ve been marked as a “dangerous, violent, leftist (important point) group.”

    The politicians are using the antifa boogyman as a political tool and the MAGA supporters are just opposing a group they see as “leftist terrorists.” In their eyes it has nothing to do with any kind of “legitimate” resistance to fascism so they’ll outright reject the notion that being against Antifa means your for fascism.

    They’ve been conditioned to absolutely loath anyone on the left with the most pure burning hatred, so in using the qualifier “leftist” in their description they invoke the thought terminating process, leftist means you hate them without thought, and antifa is now a label you can put on anyone you want to persecute. The “base” may have been conditioned to despise “the left,” but I think we’re still at the point where the right can’t simply say “we’re arresting them because they’re Democrats that are protesting our actions” so they need this “dangerous terrorist group” to exist as the enemy.

    propaganda based on classic mussolini style hate. you pick the opponent who doesnt want you to ruin everything, and advertise them as evil.

    are you really a history teacher?

      No, they are a server now. If an ex history teacher has to ask this then server was likely a good career move.

        I became a server again because I can make almost $5k a month with WAY less hours!! And then I don’t have to deal with people and parents like you all pretending everyone ELSE is wrong and “stupid” for asking questions and telling people how fucked up they are via internet when probably have nothing valid to offer society!

        I am happy with my choice, I make so much more money since the American education system is GARBAGE! We do not even rank the top 25-30 in ANYTHING world wide! Hence why they keep cutting funding, keeping Americans dumb… corpo owned media, trolls on the internet, “news stations” but truly a version of “The View”, TikTok/FB for “news” etc. it’s honestly embarrassing!

        Have a great day and keep trolling on! ✌🏼

          There isn’t any trolling. Anyone with half a brain knows that the MAGA cult leaders pick a target scapegoat … be it “Antifa”, transgenders, or Hispanics, and then sounds the War cry to keep the idiots marching the way they want. There is no way someone with a minimum of a two year degree doesnt realize this.

    Antifa is a misleading name, just like “The Democratic Republic of North Korea”

    They might be Anti -Fascist, but it’s not that simple, IMO they tarnish the name

        They are often involved in riots, looting and violent protests. They seem to be anarchists more than anti-fascists

    Fascism is capitalism in decay. It’s what you can sell right now. A modern definition is “moral belief in inequality based on identity (race / gender)”. This is what is selling right now because the dream of prosperity with liberalism is over. Shit’s bad. So that is what the propaganda channels have been churning out, on on fox, on social media, on youtube for younger audiences. Ultimately the reason is greed for money / priviledge by people without scruples.

    Check out What Is Fascism? An Excerpt From “Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It” | Truthout

    It’s only going to get worse from now on.
