    Poor education, crime, and border insecurity all occurred in the past 3 years? Got it Gutfeld.

      Poor education? I thought that was the GOP’s goal, like not even joking?

        “Poor education” is a dog-whistle meaning anything that doesn’t indoctrinate kids into Christian Nationalism.

          • National Christianism. Don’t let these Nat-Cs try to dodge what they’re doing.

            FYI: Christian nationalism is a type of religious nationalism that is affiliated with Christianity, in which the end goal is to achieve an absolute Christian theocracy within a society.

              I know that, I was making a joke about the christian nationalists being fascists and making a lazy joke/comparing to Nazis.

              You gotta admit, flipping the words around makes the abbreviation catchier and more descriptive.

                I guess I don’t agree because the words already have that connotation for me.

              Curious: how closely related is it to dominionism or reconstructionism? Those were a couple of movements that were really rampant twenty years ago—well, they’d been around longer than than that but they were really ramping things up after 9/11, especially into Dubya’s second term

        In his mind, teaching kids that black people are ok and gays exist is ‘poor education.’

        They came out against teaching critical thinking in Texas. Official GOP platform. Not even kidding.
