"I don't want to get into the details."

Real "You guys weren’t going to fact check" energy.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

The public isn't ready to hear about the Sissy-Hypno elective available after 9th grade.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 77 points 1 month ago (3 children)

No no Donnie I insist, please go into the details. Cuz I just got done helping the kids with their homework and it was all math and reading and spelling.

[–] ChicagoTransplant@midwest.social 19 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You didn't notice all the 7s were WOMEN! They used to be men but now they've switched it all up.

[–] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 month ago

Exactly, ~~7~~ is a boy in continental Europe, but Anglo-Saxon soyboys transgenderized it into 7. (/s because I'm sure otherwise someone would take it seriously)

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 month ago

Just like the green M&M!

[–] undefined@links.hackliberty.org 7 points 1 month ago

Are you sure you weren’t just pushing them toward transitioning? /s

Once again, Trump is making political satirists' job more difficult.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

nope. it's super easy. The Onion is no longer Satire, they're just reporting the news.

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 56 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Would it be so terrible if your kid came home a different gender? Would they still be your kid? Would you still love them? There are worse things - like your kid coming home full of holes made by an AR-15.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I hate to say this, but I actually think there are plenty of Republicans that would disagree with you.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 points 1 month ago

Yep. This is the party that will currently wear "better Russian than Democrat" T-shirts while Putin's troops commit war crimes against their neighbors. Conservatives mean it...

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

To a LOT of GOPers, the answer to all of those questions is "no". Part of our burgeoning homeless population here in the States is kids being thrown out of their house for being gay or trans or both or just curious. There are MULTIPLE charities to support kids who face JUST THAT. It's a serious issue.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 month ago

"I don't want to get into the details."

Yeah. I know. Because it doesn't farking happen

[–] Spesknight@lemmy.world 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Just send your kid to school an even number of days...

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This only got overshadowed by his “they’re eating the cats and dogs“ quote. Aside from that, this may be one of the most insane things he’s said.

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

More insane than thinking Canada has a giant faucet that takes all the melt water from the polar ice cap and dumps it in the Pacific, instead of letting it run "down" to California?

Edit. Pluralised ice cap. I don't think even Trump is stupid enough to think the south pole's run off ends up in Canada.

It really and truly is absolutely terrible that a person that crazy has a real shot at becoming president of the most powerful nation on the planet.

It is also a shame that the mainstream news keeps igoring all this batshit crazy talk along with the inciting violence and does fluff pieces where they explain what they think he means.

This stuff should be front page news every day. Put up the stuff Harris and Walz say too so there is a contrast with people who aren't crazy fascists.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I did leave for school and they taught me the tools necessary to understand my gender properly. And yeah those tools aren’t reading, writing, or arithmetic, it was calculus actually.

[–] Naboo_calls_for_aid@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 month ago

Ah, things make more sense now, I struggled in calculus. Particularly integrals.

And now they've been shot in school, thanks Obama

It’s the country of Lalalandburg and it’s located in the remote recesses of the back of a senile, irrelevant, and terrified old man’s head.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Sadly, whatever else is true about the orange shit bag, irrelevant isn't. We are forced to contend with his influence on a daily basis.

What if the actual reason for an increasing number of LGBTQ people (besides society finally starting to treat them with some degree of basic acceptance that everyone deserves- still a long way to go, but it seems better than the past) was an ever increasing amount of estrogen antagonizing plastic pollution in our habitat? Would DJT favor more regulation of the plastics and chemical industries?

My guess is not. He mostly just wants to use some fictional boogeyman to further destroy our schools (very real measureable decline since he took office that people want to blame on covid rather than his appointee Betsy DeVos).

[–] Zementid@feddit.nl 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And acceptance leads to openness... imagine the MASSIVE amount of closeted gays in Trump's Generation.

Today we are more accepting than even in the grayish 80s, now that not even AIDS is connected with it.

A kid growing up now could turn out gay or trans way earlier in life than "usual" because they are born that way. Similar to better Diagnostics leading to more cases of Autism.

This is the biggest "fuck you" to teachers...

If Trump spent 1 day in a fucking public school I feel his tune would change.

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago

No. Nothing can change his tune: reality has no impact on his tune, being wrong, being absurd, being called out, nothing. Actually not changing his tune is basically his core messaging strategy. That piece of shit...

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 12 points 1 month ago

It absolutely would not.

No, you're thinking of that coffin in Dark Souls. Completely different thing, though I understand if you're a complete moron it can be confusing.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 7 points 1 month ago

What the heck, this is real?!

I thought you were just being silly.

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I recall the old Bugs Bunny cartoons and the rascally rabbit dressed up as a woman. The MAGATs are regressive turds.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

Woke Bugs Bunny.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So we have school 4 days a week instead of 5. Your child will be back to their original gender in time for the weekend.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not if we follow this pattern

Either it takes such an effort to get menstrual products into schools that it gets you a fun nickname, or we're doing reassignment surgery during health class.

Pick a lane lol

This guy lives in a fantasy world of hate

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

He hate-rages himself to bed, knowing he has multiple lawsuits he has to attend, a shrinking circle of people he trusts, two assassination attempts, and his wife and family are counting down the days he dies.

[–] evranch@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Honestly it sounds like Canada (minus the transgender panic). Trump is a POS but that doesn't mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.

My wife teaches college and trade school and the quality of incoming students declines every year as since Covid for some reason the public schools have had very low requirements for passing a grade level. Some can't even add fractions. Most can't rearrange an equation. A large fraction panic and have anxiety attacks when taking tests, and just stare at the paper like a deer in the headlights.

My daughter is now in grade 5 and they were teaching them practically nothing and not even grading them. Just "good" "adequate" or "poor" based on how well the teacher "thinks they know the material". No discipline, no challenge. And it honestly seems true that they're teaching more cultural topics and less core math/science/English.

Thankfully she has a teacher and an engineer for parents, is a voracious reader and we've taught her math and programming at home. Pulled her out of the public system this year and she's suddenly telling us what she learned and is excited to go to school...

[–] Laser@feddit.org 23 points 1 month ago

Trump is a POS but that doesn't mean that the declining quality of education is not a real problem.

Yeah, but the declining quality is because of people like him who are making sure good education must be paid for, and this rambling again is just a way to get people worked up against a non-issue to deteriorate the education system further. There's no "education is threatened" in that message because the base doesn't care, either because they don't value education or because they don't think it should be available to poor people.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 month ago

Sure, schools need improvement, but if you think electing the Conservatives is going to improve our schools, you're a worse joke than the schools are
