Almost no repercussions for the attempted fascist coup of our Constitutional Republic, billionaires sneering at the idea of a fair tax structure, representation for our taxation in the form of the Build Back Better program that actually serves the needs of the taxpaying citizens......and the continuation of the bullshit culture war.

Repeat after me.....CRT is a legal theory discussed in law school, it isn't going to make your pig tailed darling delight hate herself, and violence against the school board is just a continuation of the fascist attempted coup. God forbid your little quarterback or cheerleader be taught actual fact in school so that when they go to college and get smacked with a critical thinking requirement they are not totally lost. The bullshit culture war is what you are trading a civilized country for.
