And the way to stop it is to run for local office.

"They’re being carried away through our education system, through the woke ideology that’s infiltrated professional sports, through the sexual grooming and pedophilia that’s apparent in the entertainment industry," Wuertz, 36, said in a video of the Seminole County School Board meeting posted by the district’s YouTube account. “We need to run for precinct committees, we need to run for City Council, run for school board and primary the RINOs in this room," he said, using an acronym for Republicans in Name Only.

Pre-Reagan, the Republican party began building its current idiocracy by taking over school boards and counties.

In the 21st century the tribe has added bullets to their ballots.
