I'm asked over and over by liberals on Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, etc., would i ever say anything bad about Trump. Of course they are arguing the totally stupid position that people who support Trump are in a cult.
Here's what i tell them:
There is nothing at all that is a deal breaker for me. There are two things that he wants to do that I don't feel is the right thing, but I've seen enough to trust him, not that I can stop him anyway.
First is his plans for the DOE. I know that the Department of Education has been a disaster for this country. However, i feel that it can be used to correct some of the problems we are having with the educational system. I don't care for placing the responsibility for our children's education onto the states. Does anyone think that the state governments are smarter, less corrupt, or more efficient than the federal government? I do not. What I would rather see Trump do is clean house, then appoint competent leadership of the DOE, to reverse many of the damaging policies of the DOE, such as lowering the standards for graduation which has been done several times since the DOE's inception. Also monitoring where the money to schools goes.
Most of the problems in the US Education, and why other countries are doing a lot better than us starts in the home and with the parents. We don't place education as important as those other countries do. Oh, parents talk a good game but in reality they just cannot be bothered to invest their time and effort into their kids education. I could make an entire thread about this but you get the idea. The DOE cannot do anything about this major factor and putting it on the states won't either.
Second thing he wants to do that I don't agree with is give us back the money that was saved from DOGE in the form of checks. Nice idea and I could do a lot of good with $5k but putting that much cash into the economy will only raise inflation. I'd rather it be put toward the deficit or next budget perhaps.
Trump is the greatest president in our lifetime, but like every person on this planet, he's not perfect. His goal to make America great again is under way, but IMO, there seem to be a few miss-steps along the way. None of them are deal breakers for me.
A cult member is someone who believes things they know aren't true just because they are told to believe it and never ever will go against the agenda of the cult leaders. pretty much like Democrats.
