Liberal math

Trumpistan math:

75 million is greater than 81 million.

4 Benghazi deaths are greater than 460,000 and counting COVID deaths.

1 piece of crap is greater than a whole nation.

I don’t have the energy to read through the source document, but hopefully someone who has will help me with my laziness.

Does it happen to mention stereotype threat? I’m just curious if that was included within the plan, and if it gave examples of the language that has been used in studies to circumvent the negative testing impacts implicit with stereotype threat.

Trumpistan math:

"What's a math? It's probably a liberal plot to count things... and we all know nothing counts."

“We don’t ‘count’ things. That’s commie scientist libtard stuff. Instead, we feel quantities.”

That's why teachers wanted us to show our work. What is your process for calculating the answer?

Just don't ask kids to show their work in an Oregon classroom because that's considered white supremacy by the ruling political regime there.

Speaking of math, it turns out Texas secessionists now want federal aid to help with the Winter storm damage to their power grid.



More examples of Republican hypocrisy on, I dunno, state's rights and whatever:

Just remember every time Xanax posts that he’s not actually a Conservative. He’s a Jim Crow Democrat. He wants socialism for himself and other whites, but not for anybody else. Basically a NatSoc, but a little more democratic, BUT for people like him.

How can I explain my thought process ...

So, he’s a southerner. And if you recall it was southern whites who were one of the blocs supporting the New Deal coalition. They were perfectly happy to support socialism, as long as black people could be explicitly excluded from its benefits. It's only when the Democratic Party started insisting that non-whites benefit from the social safety net too, that rural whites became Republicans. But they never embraced Republican economic ideas. Their problem is not with big government. It's with who benefits from it. As a result, the GOP has had to emphasize culture war issues more and more on recent decades because there's a stark divide between the economic ideology of Republican elites and the Jim Crow Democrats who make up their base. Racism is the only thing the two sides have in common. And that's why these people love Trump so much. He was the first candidate in decades to run on both halves of the Jim Crow Democratic platform: socialism for whites, rugged individualism and white supremacy for everyone else.

Anyway.

Whatever.

More math! 4” of snow equals hundreds of millions in aid!

If you have him on ignore, why post in his thread?

For the same reason you just did.

I don't have him on ignore.

The Republican base does not think in ideological terms. They think in cheap, thoughtless slogans that have no internal consistency. As long as a mindless slogan represents their own personal selfishness, they will adopt it.

That's why "states rights!" can coexist with "where the hell is the federal government in our time of need?"

Obviously, I don't think much of a typical Republican's ability to think.

I wasn't even alive when the politicians sold us social security welfare as a forced retirement program.

And I'm not the one who retired at 45. Maybe you should be the one teaching the class Doc since you seem to be in lock step with this.
