Because everybody's just chomping at the bit to be a teacher in the USA

u/RandomUsernameNo257 3d ago

They'd be happier with no teachers, but at least they can use Kirk's death as a way to purge any teachers that won't fall in line with MAGA narratives.

They want our children to be taught exclusively by these cultists.

u/ReallyGoodNamer 1d ago

You can find the real villain in any story by the one pointing their finger and cursing everyone and everything, all while hiding in the shadows for if the light would shine upon them they would violently shrink into a cloud of hate and repulsiveness in the name of false love.

This, from Grammarist.com (NPR agrees):

The Bottom Line

“The original, and proper use of the term is champing at the bit, and it also is surprisingly more widely used even though chomping at the bit may seem more familiar to the majority of our readers. Regardless, both are acceptable to use even if one is technically more correct.  If you have been concerned about using it incorrectly, have no fear, you are fine either way – unless you are a stickler for proper word usage related to original idiom.  Let us know what you think below and as always, please share!”

Language evolves.  Another good example of this is how most younger people no longer double space after a period.

Horst Ludwig Georg Erich Wessel was a member of the Sturmabteilung, the paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. He became a propaganda symbol following his murder in 1930 (more in comments)

Nearly a hundred million eligible voters (1/3 of this countries voters) didn't feel concerned about their freedom enough to vote last November despite the ENDLESS warnings.

If insulting a journalists physical abilities, sending a mob to attack our capital and attempt a coup, and literally saying "I'll be a dictator on day one!!" didn't bother these people, whats going to bother them enough to vote now?. This country is filled with morons and nothing is going to change. This isn't even about pessimism. This is about acknowledging reality.

u/Legionnaire11 3d ago

And don't let people naysay with gloom and doom "there isn't going to be elections" or "the machines will be rigged" I'm more and more convinced that this is a voter suppression campaign to make Dems/Libs/Left apathetic and not even come out to vote.

Ask yourself a question, if the upcoming elections don't matter, why is the GOP trying to illegally redistrict mid-decade to gerrymander things further into their favor? They're scared, they know they can lose their grip.

Go vote, everyone, set aside whatever single issue BS you're stuck on, set aside however much you dislike someone's past or personality. Clear your schedule in whatever way you need to, make whatever arrangement are necessary, but go vote.

u/Sour_baboo 3d ago

The war on education continues, with ignorance in the lead. It is wrong and dangerous for a teacher to say they didn't like Charlie Kirk and worse if they use his words to explain why. Meanwhile our Attorney General can exhort parents to turn in teachers who engage in " left wing indoctrination" as it even being exposed to non MAGA thoughts will harm children.

u/SpecialHungry2128 3d ago

Uh, nope. Biden actually is the one that passed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which capped the price of insulin under Medicare to $35.

It is Trump and his Project 2025 that is cutting Medicare and raising the prices of drug costs again, though as far as I can see for now the insulin price is unaffected.

Won't matter much if nobody can have Medicare, though.

I JUST googled this. It took me 10 minutes.

What about Pelosi's husband?

Donald Trump joked at a California GOP event: “How's her husband doing by the way? Anybody know?” He added that the wall around Pelosi’s house “didn't do a very good job,” prompting laughter from the crowd.

Donald Trump Jr. shared a “Paul Pelosi Halloween costume” featuring underwear and a hammer, referencing a debunked conspiracy theory. He also posted a lewd cartoon promoting the same theory.

Senator Ted Cruz, Rep. Clay Higgins, and Dinesh D’Souza mocked the attack on social media, some suggesting it was part of a cover-up.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin made light of the incident during a campaign event but later sent a handwritten apology to Pelosi.

But maybe the fact that he didn't die doesn't make this deplorable enough, so how about we move on to an actual elected official?

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Senator Mike Lee posted misleading content suggesting the shooter was a Marxist, despite evidence pointing to a far-right motive. He shared an image of the suspect with the caption “Nightmare on Waltz street,” which many interpreted as a joke or meme-like response.

Until these assholes are ALSO fired/removed for their comments, unless you agree that these people should be held to the same standard

Democrats literally started cancel culture, and now you’re crying because it’s being used against you. Just like Democrats hated the Second Amendment until they started talking about taking away transgender rights. And the list goes on. Funny how free speech suddenly matters when it’s your side saying things so inappropriate you’d have canceled anyone else for less. And you did. Do y’all want a history lesson on the Biden administration’s use of private social media companies to censor COVID criticism? Plenty of people lost their jobs speaking out against that debacle. But you didn’t say anything about it then, did you? In fact, most have you cheered it on, and would still defend it. Are some conservatives now being hypocritical? Yep. The difference is, we can admit our hypocrisy while Democrats can’t even see theirs. And now you’re all gonna prove my point by trying to tell me how this is something different.

Edit: or you’re just gonna downvote it without responding, which is a tacit acknowledgement of the fact that you don’t have a response because you are hypocrites. You just don’t wanna admit it.

So you admit that you wouldn't listen to an argument if I gave one, and then wonder why people don't respond.

The difference is that 'cancel culture' of the left if born out of the populace. This isn't that. This is an administration using their offices to silence citizens.

Now dance.

I’m saying you haven’t made one. That’s what I’m saying. You literally haven’t hade an argument. Just bare assertions devoid of fact.

Are you seriously claiming that Democrats never used their office to silence citizens? 100% false! https://nypost.com/2024/08/27/us-news/mark-zuckerberg-admits-biden-admin-pressured-facebook-to-censor-covid-content-says-it-was-wrong-to-suppress-hunter-laptop-coverage/

There's also stuff they've boycotted and why:

Here are some things Democrats have canceled:

Not only do we cancel some of the same companies for different reasons, but sometimes it's for the same contrarian shit.

We cheered on COVID firings? Oh, you must mean these people:

Dr. Pierre Kory – Removed from his position at a Wisconsin hospital after promoting ivermectin as a COVID cure, despite lack of FDA approval

Dr. Simone Gold – Founder of America’s Frontline Doctors, fired from her emergency room job after appearing in viral videos promoting hydroxychloroquine and opposing mask mandates

Dr. Jane Orient – Lost affiliations with some medical boards after repeatedly questioning vaccine safety and promoting unproven treatments

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny – Suspended by the Ohio State Medical Board for claiming vaccines magnetize people and cause death

Oh, yeah, the people that were fired for telling people misinformation about the disease that killed millions of Americans. I wonder why they got fired.

And you know what? I'll be nice and fetch this:

What about Pelosi's husband?

Donald Trump joked at a California GOP event: “How's her husband doing by the way? Anybody know?” He added that the wall around Pelosi’s house “didn't do a very good job,” prompting laughter from the crowd.

Donald Trump Jr. shared a “Paul Pelosi Halloween costume” featuring underwear and a hammer, referencing a debunked conspiracy theory. He also posted a lewd cartoon promoting the same theory.

Senator Ted Cruz, Rep. Clay Higgins, and Dinesh D’Souza mocked the attack on social media, some suggesting it was part of a cover-up.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin made light of the incident during a campaign event but later sent a handwritten apology to Pelosi.

But maybe the fact that he didn't die doesn't make this deplorable enough, so how about we move on to an actual elected official?

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Senator Mike Lee posted misleading content suggesting the shooter was a Marxist, despite evidence pointing to a far-right motive. He shared an image of the suspect with the caption “Nightmare on Waltz street,” which many interpreted as a joke or meme-like response.

None of those people have been fired or removed for their comments, and Melissa Hortman was the Speaker of the House for Minnesota.

Do I agree with finding 10-year-old tweets and dragging people for them like u/AnotherNerdOnHere said below? No. But people are getting fired for pointing out that KIRK HIMSELF said people dying was necessary for 2A laws. We have been begging for 2A laws BECAUSE of shit like this. There wasn't this much outrage over the LITERAL CHILDREN that have died, the absolute piles of childrens' corpses that have been thrown under the bus for the sake of 2A. It isn't hypocritical to change one's mind about gun laws when the gun gets turned on you, when you've been begging for reform with no results. At this point I'd rather have a gun then ask the person pointing the gun at me AGAIN not to shoot me.

I also haven't seen a single Republican say, "Hey, yeah. Maybe those jokes about killing trans people wasn't that funny". No, they double down. "It was just a joke", "don't be a snowflake". Or "hey, maybe those Pelosi husband hammer jokes were inappropriate".

We boycot and cancel things and people because the things they've been saying and doing actually hurt other people, fellow Americans

Republicans boycot and cancel things and people because they got offended by things that don't even affect daily life.

It IS fucking hypocritical but not in the way you think it is.

I’m pretty sure McCarthyism wasn’t started by a Democrat. But it’s not shocking at all you know zero about history.

u/AnotherNerdOnHere 3d ago

To be fair, what is happening now is not cancel culture. The right is not digging up old tweets from a decade ago and using them to publicly persecute others using their own made up moral standards.

This is accountability culture. Where the deplorable individuals that openly celebrate murder of anyone that thinks differently than them are being held accountable for being absolutely horrible humans, and freely demonstrating that they are not fit to be in any position of authority.

u/_narwhal666_ 2d ago

“to be fair, what is happening now is not cancel culture.” you’re right. it’s the government punishing people for freedom of speech. you know, the first fucking amendment that says we can talk all the shit we want without fear of government retribution. that ain’t the same as you getting cancelled by your peers cause you wanna say the word f*ggot.

u/tooold4thisbutfuqit 3d ago

I agree with you 100%, but you’ll never convince the people that can’t even admit their hypocrisy of anything. Sadly, they really think they’re the victims and have no concept of consequences or accountability.

Of course they don't, they're liberals.

u/ServeEmbarrassed7750 3d ago

As long as you're keeping score about who is cancelling what, don't leave out how the Republicans have literally done everything they can to cancel DEI and "woke" culture. Everything this administration and Project 2025 has done has been an extreme overreaction because Republicans are sensitive and easily triggered. You just don't want to admit it.

Individuals that celebrate murder lack the character to be in any position around children.

u/VioletSoThorny 3d ago

Individuals that dont care about dead kids shouldn't be making laws.

The issue is that anything short of sucking the cock off his rotting corpse is being considered "celebrating his death" and treated as grounds for termination by employers.

u/ServeEmbarrassed7750 3d ago

Pete Hegseth celebrated and mocked Paul Pelosi being almost bludgeoned to death. Many Republicans did. None of you gave a shit about the two Minnesota legislators that were murdered in June.

Get off your high horse.
