I will respectfully disagree. I am a follower of John Dewey who wrote Experience and Education. His philosophy on which the school I used to teach was based is that people learn best from meaningful experiences with real consequences.
For the MAGAs who believed Trump was going to save the economy they did not learn anything. Protecting them from it will not help them learn lessons we need them to learn for everyone's survival in the US. People can move to Blue States where governors are already pledging buffers.
I do not blame the people, I blame the corporate and social media. Many people apparently live in deserts of accurate, insightful media. They have neither the time, know-how or resources to find it. They don't read, they pick entertainment over information. But, if they rely on locally available media they don't have it.
I do not want petty revenge, I want people to learn lessons that will help them to do better informed voting. If they felt that they could just focus on earning a living and throwing in some occasional fun times, they will see that more is required of them to avoid what will probably happen. If they feel that God will swoop down from heaven and save them and any suffering they have in the meantime is deserved, well there is no helping them.
I’m not talking about the people who need to learn their lesson. I’m talking about the people who will be collateral damage. Pick any bad consequence, it will affect us all, not just his voters.
I agree! It will effect the entire planet. Global warming will be sped up to new levels we cannot return from. However, some will be affected more than others. Just look at education alone. With plans to dismantle and defund the department of education and put special education in Health and Human Services, while they put regular education into the Department of Labor as students are funneled into the jobs immigrants used to take before being deported, instead of high school or college.
I do not have an elementary education child. I am affected on that less than those who have children who need child care or primary education. In my family there is one child in undergraduate studies and the other working on his PhD in the US. The junior might finish her education before her funding is totally destroyed, but I will advise her to leave rather than take on the kinds of predatory loans that they are planning on to finish.
I am counting on parents across the country, to realize that the most important thing about primary education is not whether or not the government gives gender reassignment in schools, but whether or not schools even exist any more. It is a very anti-intellectual third world making agenda. It will be effecting those who are not in the know more. Those who are not US citizens more. Those who are undocumented more. Those who are female more. Those who are non-White more. Those who are not Christian nationalists more. Those who Trump doesn't consider allies more. Change won't happen over night, and we should not be giving in to it already. We should be planning our survival.
However, until his voters, and the 93 million who did not vote, actually feel the consequences of his policies, they may not make the effort to inform themselves enough to change them, together with us.
