MAGA Backfire! Kentucky Teachers Regret Supporting Trump - The Logical Leftist [View all]



Kentucky teachers who backed Donald Trump are now staring down the barrel of deep education funding cuts — to their own classrooms, jobs, and students. In this video, I break down how MAGA’s “small government” and tax cuts for the rich translate directly into layoffs, larger class sizes, and gutted public schools in states like Kentucky.

We’ll walk through how Trump and Republicans sold themselves as champions of “working people” while pushing an agenda that drains money from public education to fund billionaire tax breaks, police, prisons, and border militarization. The same educators who voted for Trump are now watching their districts slash programs, freeze hiring, and quietly push privatization schemes and vouchers.
