It’s a strange time in the United States, where one political party is actively engaged in a series of actions to keep as many people as possible ignorant. Ignorant not of one particular event, study, or story, but of so many topics that reality itself” is what they’re ultimately attempting to obscure. It’s evil, honestly, and it begs the question "What are Democrats so afraid of?” The only answer is simple: an informed public.
Communists in the old Soviet Union were terrified that their citizens would discover how well people in the free west were living. There were no bread lines, there were options – lots of options, for everything. This reality worried the communist leadership and would have confused their subjects, much like Bernie Sanders in 2015 lamented the idea that there were too many choices for deodorant and shoes. “You don't necessarily need a choice of 23 underarm spray deodorants or of 18 different pairs of sneakers when children are hungry in this country,” he famously said.
The great thing about capitalism is you can have both choices and charity. Options matter, and an educated public, free from government tyranny, make choices about those options that is best for them rather than a faceless bureaucrat thousands of miles away imposing what they think is best for you.
The only way that second prospect gains any traction is ignorance. Ignorance of history and how that model has failed every time it’s been tried, and ignorance of information where people are kept in the dark about reality and, therefore, draw manipulated and pre-selected conclusions and act accordingly. This is where Democrats live.
I’ve known Tucker Carlson since we met back in 2008, and I never noticed the horns. Granted,

Sadly, they are succeeding in growing an absolutely stone stupid public.
They can relax. Between the education system and the media, we have have neither.
What they’re afraid of is being pushed out of power. Their attacks on the Electoral College, education, and the border are all aimed at preventing that circumstance.
They are getting an education with Bragg pushing arrest. The irony is a Black Man trying to “Lynch” a rich white man. Bragg is flying the colors for lots of folks.
The flaw in Bernie's logic is that those children going hungry in this country are the same ones wearing those 18 different pairs of sneakers, preferably Nike Air Jordans, and wearing their choice of one of those 23 under arm deodorants. The reason they go hungry is because the money from the government EBT cards is spent on drugs and Nike gear.
“ What are Democrats so afraid of?” The only answer is simple: an informed public.”
They’ve got nothing to worry about then.
Folks,
Education is the responsibility of each and every one of us.
If each of us could find one young skull full of mush and take the time and energy to disciple them we would double our numbers.
The trouble is we don’t have a clue of what conservatism is. We can’t give what we don’t have.

Take the time to read the above slowly, let your lips move and read it again. share it with others.
Now regarding Trump and Desantis. THEY ARE BOTH PART OF THE CONSERVATIVE BODY. We need them both and many other parts of the body.
One Body with Many Members
1Co 12:12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.
1Co 12:13 Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit.
1Co 12:14 Yes, the body has many different parts, not just one part.
1Co 12:15 If the foot says, “I am not a part of the body because I am not a hand,” that does not make it any less a part of the body.
1Co 12:16 And if the ear says, “I am not part of the body because I am not an eye,” would that make it any less a part of the body?
1Co 12:17 If the whole body were an eye, how would you hear? Or if your whole body were an ear, how would you smell anything?
1Co 12:18 But our bodies have many parts, and God has put each part just where He wants it.
1Co 12:19 How strange a body would be if it had only one part!
1Co 12:20 Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.
1Co 12:21 The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.”
1Co 12:22 In fact, some parts of the body that seem weakest and least important are actually the most necessary.
1Co 12:23 And the parts we regard as less honorable are those we clothe with the greatest care. So we carefully protect those parts that should not be seen,
1Co 12:24 while the more honorable parts do not require this special care. So God has put the body together such that extra honor and care are given to those parts that have less dignity.
1Co 12:25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.
1Co 12:26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad.
1Co 12:27 All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
Yes. Also:
“Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to ... An uneducated populace is easier to cow, easier to control, and easier to enslave.”
-Thomas Jefferson
This is why the only folks to own slaves in the US were Democrats — they knew it was poison to allow slaves to be educated in any way.
Old habits, ones that made them feel powerful, die hard. Probably why groomers and pedos are in the same group — bullying a child is easy.
Gee, you mean this is why the Teachers Unions, who are the Democrats pets, want to and have been dumbing down our kiddos?
Tucker was showing the obvious - Democrats were lying about the Jan 6th protest.. How do we know? Because Democrat thugs showed the same 5 minutes of footage over and over and over... AND those images had been doctored to make movement look more hectic. Also, in a truly violent riot more damage would have been done. There would be many broken windows- not just two AND fires would have been set, graffiti would be on walls, broken furniture and valuable items stolen.
NONE of that happened.
If it had happened we would have seen the pictures for the last few years... so it didn't happen. One door damaged, two windows broken, no murders except by 'the State' - a black capitol cop with 'white women issues' murdered a white woman vet at point blank range.

Exactly. That’s why Obama and Clinton say they love the uneducated.
Ignorance of information where people are kept in the dark about reality and, therefore, draw manipulated and pre-selected conclusions and act accordingly. This is where Democrats live.
On target the MSM is doing their share in helping them the only news they haven’t mastered in masking is the stock market news but the are working on it.
The internet was the beginning of the REALLY rabid, Liberal hysteria
