True

So true

If they survive 😐

Either that or through declining education and censorship, it will be hailed as the best most brilliant, bestist time, in the whole six thousand years history of the universe.

It’s a Dickensian nightmare - A Tale of Two Americas - under Pres. Biden it was the “best of times.” Under tRump, it’s the “worst of times.”

You have more faith in us than I do. I fear we'll be stuck this way forever.

I am optimistic that history will judge this time as being when we reversed globalization and became a protectionist country; ushering in profound security for working class people

It's the Know Nothing Party redux.

And sooo self-inflicted. A narcissistic, mean, ill-informed, (and proud of it) old man. The country voted for what??? Yes, son we chose to kick ourselves in the gnads. The 80 year post-WWII historically peaceful and prosperous era was too much. We had to stop WOKE!!! It was really important.

I think you are right!

You are confident America will survive that long?

Very true. It's pathetic.

Stupid is too kind a word.

Dear God I hope you're right. Since history is written by the victors.

Imagine telling them "and then pur democracy failed so bad that if we got in charge Jeffrey Dahmer we would probably have been better off"

While I appreciate all the hope on here that there will be future generations … well I admit, I lack your optimism. Whatever the future holds for the Americas, it looks nothing like the present. I hope they do better than us repeating a 100 year old lesson so easily.

Exactly.

They'll forever be taught and etched into their memory, never forgive, never forget.

Unless they rewrite this time out of history.

The 1860s have entered the chat.

If they are allowed to read the true history.

Unless it’s too late and this oligarchy becomes the norm

The drugs aren't the problem but dem been sold outside in anywhere around the city aren't right.....Not everyone takes drugs but anyone can take drugs..

They cheated, tRump didn't win.

I doubt that the sea would want all the toxins.

Look at the education level of this president.His mouth, his arrogance, his racism, his greed,his misogyny, his disrespect, his jealousy his total lack of understanding about climate vs. weather.

Honestly, they'll probably look at us with disdain to put it lightly. Imagine sitting their reading about how the past had the information and the know how to fix something that dooms your generation, but they chose to fight about bathrooms.

No kidding.

So true, my heart breaks for the educated and marginalized. I feel like I'm living a twilight zone episode !

History will reflect how people voted.

That’s an optimistic viewpoint.

That’s an optimistic take.

#IDIOCRACY

May your words of hope ring true, and we will have an American history. 🙏🏼 🚬😎

They will insist upon only the teaching of alternative facts. Truth will be punishable by whatever form of terror they will feel like being entertained by on any particular day.

I’m not convinced coming generations of average Americans will be taught to read. Ignorance allows control. Fascism 101.

👏👏👏

Whoa! Big assumption; that our kids and grandkids will be literate, given what's happening to Dept of Education...

Hopefully we'll see you in Congress again, when Trump and his 2025 Nazi party are removed. We see a clear and present danger.

I was in the AirForce 1956-1960 and knew a Bobby Kinzinger. Any relation. Have a picture together.

I'm not so sure Mr. Kinzinger. One can hope, but I find them too apathetic and many of them will lack the education of history.

And naturally, there will be the usual questions. "Why didnt someone do anything?"

Animal Farm; Arturo Ui; Misuse of the word "Woke;" scapegoating nonstop, paying more for sporting events than books. Pathetic.

April 5th Baby! Will be wild!! Citizens' Arrests anyone?

Hopefully, students I taught are still keeping their journals and are writing all this down. Years from now, I expect someone will discover the journals of Keith K, the most prolific journaler of all time. A gay man who wrote pages daily, he captured the nuances of the day and the tone of the time!

Only if they start invading private homes to burn books like in Fahrenheit 451. Encyclopediae on CD/DVDs.

Maybe they'll watch it in Chinese on TikTok 9.0.

Which is why I vow to tell them!!

History doesn’t lie as well as this regime. If nothing else, the world knows. Other allied countries will have non-whitewashed historical accounts.

The rest of the world will make sure America’s decline and fall will explicitly be written by future historians.

Absolutely! How Congress can let a person who wasn't elected run a group of men who aren't given official powers, and absolutely destroy lives and programs and official departments -- this should not be happening!!! GROW SPINES PEOPLE AND STICK UP FOR YOUR CONSTITUENTS AND THE COUNTRY!

Candidly America has had many stupid chapters. Read Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States.”

That’s so hopeful - but I expect some will stick around forever, like 21st century moonies.

They will be shocked to hear 1/3 voted for an idiot and a traitor against humanity they later regret having in office, they will be shocked at the 1/3 that didnt do anything when they could have and the kids would cry for the 1/3 that wanted better for everyone.

Never underestimate the ability to out stupid ourselves in the future.

Write in journals so that there is proof for future generations that some of us did not support the cult.

The American Dark Ages

We’ll be lucky if our kids and grandkids can read at the rate things are going.

I tell my kids about the brave acts I see and the ways I’ve gotten involved and honestly some of the worst decisions this administration has made. They know what being a real patriot looks like. We fly the flag out front because our country is worth fighting for. 🇺🇸

My grandsons, ages 9 thru 23 already do now. Don't really know how to explain all this...so I quit trying. It's too stupid for me also...I fear.

We’ve had a lot of stupidest times in history. This is just the most recent. And almost all end with young men dying for their country. I don’t see this time being any different. But history also shows that good prevails over evil. Stronger together.

It's surprising to me that there is so much HATE, that a sizeable portion of the electorate will ignore FACTS, accept proven LIES, abandon REASON, and intentionally want to HURT fellow Americans based on a proven FRAUD'S racism, strongman act, and psychological dysfunction.

So true. Whenever I see/hear Donald trying to communicate serious things, I always imagine him in my head as kid playing President and the rest of the MAGA people surrounding him as the other kids in the kindergarten class. They don't realize how absurd they sound.

The ol' "watch this hand, while I pick your pocket with this one", trick...

All of this. Primarily, however, they must discredit science in order to exert power. Trans is based on epigenetic and genetic processes. You can not control a population that has factual knowledge and critical reasoning skills. Science, logic, facts - all under attack, becoming inaccessible, denied

Yeah, I suppose there's that. In fact, there's a whole movie about it (old movie).

Truth, truth, truth. Get your souls back, America.

I don’t know. 4 years were pretty good.

Stupidest time...so far! (Obligatory Simpsons quote?)

Dumbest and most devastating from a world standing point of view. We have fallen so far that it seems like we no longer have a moral or character ground to stand on. How could our country have let this happen?

Kids won't be able to read after tRump gets rid of education

Are you sure our grandkids will be able to learn to read? Ignoramuses are trying to take everything away from us, including public education. The red states will be even dumber?

My son already does, and he doesn't want to go and see the 4014 Big Boy anymore. He's too pissed off at how America is treating allies, and livid a out Ukraine.

And how did we get that way? 24 years of rigged elections pushing Congress and the Presidency rightward every 2 or 4 years.

Indeed. Assuming we survive all this, I'll be very interested to read the history books on this particular time period. I'm betting it will not be kind to certain folks of orange or Muskrat persuasion.

Stupidest AND cruelest!

It's mind-boggling to say the least

We're hitting the streets April 5 and don't spend money March 31.

What matters is human rights, the liberty of making choices for yourself is very essential but remember the votes were all counted...

I'm less concerned with stupidity than venality.

Lmao

*TWICE.

I wish that was something I knew!

But unlike Team Trump, I’m not cruel.

It must be good to finally have a diagnosis! May I ask what the treatment is? I've been wondering if I'm ADHD or ADD myself.

I'm going to have my brain laminated to keep out the plastic, graaaar!

Had Trump been President in the 1930s & '40s, he would have allied with Hitler. Putin, the first European leader since Hitler to invade another European nation, is engaged in the same plots and strategy that Hitler used and Trump IS supporting him. The GOP needs to wake up to what he's doing ASAP.

I'm seeing a lot of "When we are out the other side of this" and I know part of that is vital, necessary hope, but I'm afraid another part of it is simply dangerous complacency.

People surviving leaving their parents constantly surprises me.

Will we survive it though? Asking from a Canadian perspective.

hey did you see the portrait tweet?

Thanks again Adam for continuing to speak out. It’s just devastating to think about everything that has happened. You have integrity and speak the truth. Appreciate all you have done for this country!

Putin

Well. Those who voted, and those who opted to not vote at all, chose this crap. No one, no one here, better be smug to say "we did not vote for Musk!" He was right there, next to the Orange, during the campaigns. Every one plus my two dogs knew what he was to do.

I agree. Majority voted for that. This is all our making.
