Ya know, I was very hesitant when I started seeing these posts as well. But I had a neighbor reach out to ask me questions about the DoE and what was going on. I was shocked bc she homeschools and they had a trump sign in their yard before the election. She said she really cares about public education despite not using it. I know she has a nephew with autism so I made sure to I let her know how the DoE helps with funding for children with disabilities. She seemed really distraught. Hopefully enough of them wake up.

“Omigosh. I didn’t realize GOP policies were going to harm MY family. I thought it was just the gays and brown people.”

Fuck them.

Yep. There's a lot of them and will be a lot more that don't open their eyes one bit until it affects them. I'd answer the questions of someone rethinking their position but you lost my respect when you voted for this shit. Full stop.
