Most triumphant.
"The empire is crumbling"
No it's not. The GOP doesn't care if they're hated, and while those people might be booing what are they going to do, vote democrat? Fat chance.
"We want to return our students to the states", what does this even mean? Does he think the DoE sends students abroad or something?That's a good way to phrase it. America failed an open book test last November.
Look, between Project 25, Mein Kampf, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and the Cybertruck Operating Manual, there were just so many books. How could you expect people to read them all? Make it easier! Can't you make it a bit easier to digest? Like a simple yes/no question, or maybe just have two big colored buttons to pick between?
I feel like it's going to hurt red states more than anyone. Letting the schools ban more books than ever and making sure that science facts never step over the toes of biblical studies.
Sure that's obviously what republicans want, but if you recall the 1776 Commission, thats the kind of thing you need the Department of Education to push everywhere.
It’s going to hurt poor and disabled children more than anyone. Red states probably aren’t even going to pretend they’re giving those kids an education.
Hey say what you will about US racism but that’s not our thing unless you’re somewhat of a sovereign nation that we want the land of. We appreciate the ability of minorities to work at as little pay as legally allowed (or less when possible).
Sadly, you are right. We aren’t looking to exterminate anyone… just disenfranchise and enslave.

So you forcibly at gun point collect people, don't verify their identities, don't verify their citizenships, don't have any evidence they have committed any crimes, their only common trait is the colour of their skin and geographic location, then transport them in irons to another nation where they are put into forced labour camps.
And you call this deportation.
It's slavery, you can just say slavery.
