Television viewers are not trained to handle rebuttals or "what ifs."

Yup. They are being told WHAT to think. Hence they are bots.

Meanwhile, there was a famous orangutan at the Atlanta Zoo named
"Chantek" who was able to handle back-and-forth communication through American Sign Language.

Maybe someday we can get the researchers from that zoo to have back-and-forth communication with our leftists.

Not possible.

As I've said before: You can't have a discussion with these people.
Most people enter a discussion with the idea "I think I'm right, but I'm willing to listen to you and I might change my mind." Lefties enter a discussion with an attitude of "I'm right and I need to explain to you why you are wrong."

We need someone to do a thorough investigation into the root causes of leftism. The TV is obviously a smoking gun, universities are additional evidence, but we need a map of all the sources so we can tackle it all in a comprehensive way. It was amusing before, but now it's got way out of hand.

They don't see the Reality today. They want their grift to keep going.

But we're not letting go. We're not getting distracted.

A long time ago, when I lived in an apartment, I noticed that every so often there was a large stack of ourgoing letters. One day, I met the person doing that. The old guy across the hall from me. He told me that he's retired with nothing to do. So he spends his time bothering his congress-critters. :)

We already know the causes: All academia - all the way back to Kindergarten. And all Media.

30+ years ago, I was already noticing this in High School. The college I went to was a technical university, so it was harder for the Woke to infect, but there were still some Elitists there in the useless depts.

I also noticed that whenever a blue collar worker was portrayed in Media, he was shown as an idiot. Light brainwashing to push people into the higher levels of academia there the heavy brainwashing was.

Those are definitely the 2 worst offenders. To tackle the media issue we'd need billions of dollars worth of broadcasting equipment.

It seems like the academia issue could be solved by the Trump administration. I snitched on the school board for their DEI practices to the US Department of Education, but I have yet to hear back from them.

We aren't listening/watching anymore. The current media companies are in big financial difficulties today. IHMO: They were being propped up by money from somewhere. Now that the NGOs have been defunded (for the most part), it's probably coming from Soros-like Elitists. But that won't be the case for the long term.

Hollywood makes flop after flop. And just look at money lost by Disney, Netflix, Amazon with their Woke series.

We have "The Power of the Purse". They can't make us pay to watch their crap.

Elimination of the Dept. of Ed was a good start. What we need is for
1. Elimination of the teacher's union. It's obviously not for the teachers.
2. Elimination of rules prohibiting someone from setting up their own school. 3. School of Choice regulations so that the money for a student follows the student to the school chosen. No more double-pay if you want to sent your kid to a private school.

We are reaching that point soon. Home schooling is on the rise.

I can see School of Choice getting passed here in Michigan in a couple of years.

When that happens, there will be a mass exodus to charter/private schools that compete on how educated the kids are and public schools will die the death they long deserved.

We're defeating the media by taking their funding sources away? I agree to some extent; PBS lost their funding I guess. But we need to do more. I really hope that Trump and his team have a comprehensive plan to fight back against the media, because they haven't been punished enough yet.

I don't think the Dept. of Ed has been eliminated yet, but supposedly there have been workforce reductions there, which is a good start.

Is there any legitimate reason for unions (of any sort) to still exist? We have laws. If employers don't follow them, they get fined and/or sued. Isn't that good enough?

I'd rather hand my money directly to an attorney, when necessary, then hand it to a union every paycheck.

Which level of government has the power to stop unions? I'm guessing it's the state.

My daughter will finish high school before it ever happens, but I'm hoping that charter schools become an option for my youngest kid.

I can't think of much more than making the Elitists pay to prop up a media source that is only viewed by their brainwashed masses.

Already the legacy media has almost no power to change people's minds anymore. They are getting sued for defamation and slander - and losing. There was a time when The View, for example, had to apologize on air for something false that they said.

Short of something totalatarian, I can't think of much more we can do.

Their teeth have been pulled. Since Congress created it, only Congress can get rid of it. And Congress has bigger fish to fry right now.

No. There was never a legitimate reason for unions to exist past getting workplace safety standards passed.

Today they are all corrupt, power hungry groups that use workers to have power.

sued. Isn't that good enough?

It should be. Don't like where you are working? Move to another employer.

That never works with unions because in the free market, they are all worth less than what they blackmailed out of the companies they currently work for.

Which level of government has the power to stop unions? I'm guessing
it's the state.

I don't know on that one. I know that the Feds have stepped in several times.

But unions have priced themselves out of the market and were a dying group anyway. Except for public sector unions, which shouldn't exist anyway.

It took time for the Elitists to break everything. It will take time to fix it too.

They keep rambling though, and I still find parrots all over the place. There has been some improvement since the last election (that was a wake up call for a lot of idiots) but I just hope that thinking for the self is trending up.

That's what I mean. Their catchphrase seems to be "You can't be fired tomorrow," which sounds good to people who don't take work seriously.

That's all we can do. You can't make things foolproof because the Elitsts will just make bigger fools.

But the institutions that they took over and rotted from the inside are crumbling. All that time/money/effort that they put in is falling flat.

Yup. Having worked at GM and witih UAW guys, I have lots of stories about useless/incompetent people who had good jobs for decades.

Or about the guys with mechanical engineering degrees who work on the assembly line because it pays better.

The worst one was when a UAW member was caught by the DEA selling illegal drugs on GM property. The DEA arrested him. GM fired him. But the UAW's stand "we'll fight for him to get his job back when he gets out."

That's insane, but that's what unions are for I guess.

We need to elect candidates who have an interest in dissolving labor unions, but I swear, we also need them to dissolve school boards. We're paying idiots to waste our money and to subjugate our kids and our educators. I'm not sure what's more sick (unions or school boards.)
