Yes dear.
Republicans have changed.
It sucks.

Democrats have too and that is why they are going to lose. Unfettered illegal immigration is the biggest and most devastating assault on our social services in the history of the country. There is nothing like it. It is almost like a huge cut in the budget for every single school district. And we are seeing it unfold across the country and EVERYONE knows who is at fault.

Can you point me to a source that shows how school funds are being diverted to provide social services for immigrants?

Schools have to provide an education to anyone who is of the appropriate age in their district. Please do not deny that the children of illegal immigrants, some of whom are also illegal immigrants, are getting educated in public school. It’s a fact just like the sky is blue. Do you need me to provide a “link” to prove the sky is blue?

You said social services. Not education. Where are education funds being diverted to provide social services for immigrants?

I consider education part of social services. It is via education that many people are visible to government. So vaccinations are required to attend schools so many schools offer vaccination drives for students or resources to medical care to get the vaccinations. And schools with high FARMs provide free lunch and often free breakfast and lately meals packed for weekends. And then the schools offer a variety of therapies in addition to ESOL. So yeah, I consider schools social services. But go ahead… keep splitting hairs.

Oh, so when Republicans keep trying to cut social services to “encourage independence” or whatever, they really mean they want to take money from kids’ educations. Thanks for clarifying where you stand.

What are you even talking about? I have step by step shown you the fallacy of your position and now you flail about with some made up position. Nice try.

Plus, wasn’t the main point of your argument that we should all be ok with unfettered illegal immigration because it has no impact on us financially? So why don’t you back up that position with some FACTS.

It's odd that none of this discussion has centered on why married women may have voting preferences that align with male voting patterns, except the bizarre and misogynistic conclusion that women are brainless and will do as their husbands instruct.

Married women tend to have more in common with men because marriage causes them to be a unit and their interests are united. A married woman has no interest in males being discriminated against, etc.

It is interesting. I think it's because many married women have children, and so they're more plugged into community issues - public safety, schools, cost of groceries etc. And Democrats tend to be on the wrong side of everyday quality of life issues - particularly schools and crime.

This.

When I was single, I didn’t care nearly enough about schools, inflation, cost of living, immigration, or any other political issue for them to affect my voting. I didn’t even understand what school choice was, beyond knowing it was bad primarily because that’s what everyone in my Crown Heights circle thought and I didn’t care enough to look too hard into it. Naturally, I voted D.

Then I had an autistic child in a terrible school district with classrooms overcrowded due to a mass influx of undocumented immigrants, where every kid with any disability that needed accommodation was herded into one classroom and basically babysat. Popular wisdom in my area was that “privileged” parents like me should make do with public schools cuz like privates are bad and leaving meant I was racist. While I was trying to figure out what to do, the pandemic hit, and schools shut down, leaving me to educate a multiply disabled child basically by myself (good luck virtually educating kids like mine) and Dems kept schools closed long after the harms were documented. I got outta NY so fast to a southern state were life was still allowed to go on and where I had my pick of schools regardless of where I lived. Suddenly, school choice made sense. Educational policy and immigration became very real issues to me, and I could have slapped all my former Brooklynite friends who thought keeping schools closed indefinitely was totally fine.

Inflation hit us very hard because we needed every dollar for my son’s therapies and then later for serious health problems I developed. All the monied Democrats I knew telling me that inflation is a non-issue made me want to kill someone.

Life comes at you fast when you have children, a mortgage, and a whole life beyond pie in the sky foolishness to consider. I’m done with Democrats. Never ever thought I’d say that 10 years ago as a single woman.

Your story will to be too complex and nuanced for the Democrats on this thread who desperately believe Hilary Clinton has magical powers, but thank you for sharing.

You are both nuts. You GOP nutters are the ones obsessed with Hillary Clinton all these years later. And you think the GOP will help with schools? Are you high? Have you paid no attention to what THEY have been doing to public education in this country for the past several decades. And they TALK about immigration all the time, but they never actually do anything? Nope. Why would they? It's just a tool they use to whip you people into a froth and get you to vote GOP. Fear-mongering and empty promises.

Answer after answer from GOP women = we hate immigrants and we are still traumatized by the pandemic to the point that we can't even remember what actually happened. [b]Do you wake in the night screaming "shutdowns!!!" It's 2024. There is no pandemic now. No one is threatening shut downs. Good Lord, you people need therapy and cult deprogramming.[/b]

Insinuating you, as supporters of the GOP, understand nuance is...hysterical.

Many of us and our kids are still dealing with the educational impact of shutdowns, you low IQed, mouth breathing lower life form! Our problems are just so trivial and hilarious, aren’t they? You need to go play in traffic.

Dp- man I read these posts and I think, “ I guess I’ll just take my next huge tax cut and let the aholes struggle. You don’t want to help yourself, we can’t help you. Carry on!”

DP...which tax cut are you referring to? I'm a small business owner and Trump's "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" increased my effective tax rate. So for the last six years I've been subsidizing the big corporations that actually got their taxes lowered. So "I'll just take my next huge tax cut and let the aholes struggle" is what the uber-wealthy are saying about people like me as they pull the lever for Trump.

Yes. This is exactly what I’m saying. My taxes ( I’m very wealthy now thanks to Trump) went down. They will go down again if he is re elected. I will get richer with Trump in office.
Small business owners like yourself aren’t part of the club. Neither are the 9-5 working joes.
But I can’t care about the average American more than they do. If posters wanna whine about how bad the pandemic was for them, well I can’t help them. Republican ladies wanna chance a pregnancy in an anti choice state? Got for it! They will probably be fine…. Unless they aren’t. 10-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage ( and that’s not including early unidentified miscarriages). Roll the dice!
You mad about immigration? Well go on and vote for the party that screams about the border emergency 24:7 BUT never passes legislation to adddress it. Like ever.
Sounds like ( uncontrolled immigration) is really negatively impacting your schools and neighborhoods. I wouldn’t know about that, because my child doesn’t go to public school and my city has zoning that doesn’t allow for dense housing. I would say that republicans will give you money for your child to choose an excellent private school, but let’s be real… even if they handed parents 20k to make a elite school attainable, the top independent schools will just raise their tuition 25k.
Sadly fascism will hurt us all, but I’m betting I still do better than most. Shrug.
Vote accordingly.

Look. You can characterize it as whining if you like, but that's not helpful in gaining D voters.

You have one party that is completely dismissive of people's pandemic experiences, defends the policy choices that people are telling them have lead to extremely negative consequences, and is outright hostile towards the families and moms who won't "get over it" because it's 2024 already. People will vote Republican because it at least acknowledges the problems with the pandemic educational response.

In fact, a lot of red states DID have different policies during the pandemic that were supportive of families and education: they opened for consistent in-person school earlier.

And more people died in those states. But, it’s all about the individual. Too bad the GOP really only care about their wealthy individuals.

I mean not really.

Teachers time and attention is not an unlimited resource. Everyone in public education knows that more resources are required when students are barely speaking English.

So why are you voting for the party that killed the bill - at the behest of an out of office convict - that would have addressed immigration? You sure like to reward incompetence.

Because the bill was a total joke that did nothing to seriously address the immigration problem.

Candidly, as a Democrat I was assured that the entire country would fail if Trump became president and that objectively did not happen.

We did have a pandemic. And nationwide race riots. I dunno about you, but I didn't enjoy all that.

Tell us how Trump caused a global pandemic that originated from China.

Cause? No. Made exponentially worse because of his completely inept response? Hell yes.

Funny how none of the blindly partisan Democrats in this thread have been willing to say with any specifics how Hilary Clinton was going to stop the spread of the virus in China, India, or the rest of the world.

I am still looking forward to learning about those plans! 👍 It’s amazing how Hilary apparently had the ability to stop a global pandemic. Can’t wait to hear how!

Leadership
Expertise
Coordination
Delegation
Decisiveness
Management
Oversight
Logistics
Communication

In other words, the exact opposite of what Trump spent his time on in 2020.

Specifics. How specifically was Hilary going to stop the spread of Covid in countries outside the US and stop a global pandemic? That’s the claim you Democrats are making. I want the exact plan that would have halted the spread of the virus. You say it exists. So share it.

NP: Given that the GOP doesn't even have a platform, you may want to start fixing up your own house first before you start pointing fingers.

Democrats in this thread have said that Hilary would have stopped the Covid-19 pandemic globally. They are the ones who made that claim. Are you now backing down from that claim?

Who said that?

Here is one example but there are also others:

Hilary would have used America’s power in international organizations to coordinate a speedy response. Hilary would have managed it the way previous presidents (Bush and SARS, Obama and MERS) did previous air borne viruses and it probably could’ve been managed and we wouldn’t have had a global pandemic and all of its losses and consequences.

I mean I think it’s kind of amazing Hilary inspires magical thinking like this to this day.

Pp here. I should have written ANY PRESIDENT OTHER THAN TRUMP. My point was both republican and democratic presidents would have handled Covid as had been done with previous pandemic coronaviruses. But using Hilary was hugely triggering. Hilary or any of the other 2016 republican nominees would have done better.

You don't consider free public education a social service? Free language classes a social service? Free breakfast and lunches a social service?

Because allowing 5000 illegal aliens a day, 1.8mm people annually, is not a border bill, it is migration plan.

Because the bill was a total joke that did nothing to seriously address the immigration problem.

It was bipartisan and gave the GOP almost everything they asked for.

But why not pass it and then work to improve it after seeing what worked well and what didn’t? Like try actually governing?

Why just whine? Trump is a such a weak whiny loser. And now the gop just whines right along with him. What are your policies?

[Anonymous]

Well Project 2025 will eliminate the dept of education and send education “back to the states” so you can expect a real patchwork of services for children who disabled or who have learning differences.

The GOP purpose in gutting the public school system is to privatize those education dollars and put them in the pockets of businesses, like the prison system.

The result is likely to be parents and guardians will get a check from the government that will cover a bare minimum of “education” in an institutional and crowded environment. The wealthy will add that check to help pay tuition at excellent schools with small classes and top notch facilities.
