It’s hard to do this in a phone, and I haven’t really had time to properly respond, but here it goes.

This doesn’t mean that the whole movement supports or advocates for these things. There’s no major effort on the right to do any of these things.

There’s been no push back from your party leaders on these issues. You have a loud portion of your group screaming these things. Omission of acceptance doesn’t mean it isn’t implied. If there was a sizable opposition or vocal portion of conservatives stating that they don’t support these things, that would be one thing…but there isn’t.

Are you talking about getting rid of the Department Of Education? Defending their record of educating the American people is a tough road.

The Department has played a vital role in supporting public education nationwide. It has narrowed the gap between students of other ethnicities, and has provided beneficial assistance to low-income areas in order to provide many of these students with ways to make it into higher education. It makes sure that schools adhere to Title IX, and helps to enforce students rights within schools.

By getting rid of the DOE without a plan to support public schools, means we’re leaving significant portions of our populace without the means to access affordable education. Sure, you can get into a voucher program, but it’s quite obvious that this is just a means to funnel taxpayer money into private institutions. What happens if/when there are no more public schools? If they remove that voucher program, where are low-income students going to go?

This doesn’t seem likely to happen since Trump wants to keep it

From what I understand, he’s been wanting to get rid of it and the ACA since 2016. It’s a socialized support system, and it hits all the markers of things that Trump and his cronies have been wanting to get rid of for years. I’d be surprised if he doesn’t try to take a few shots at it.

There’s no mainstream movement on the right to strip rights from people, unless you would count abortion as a right.

Ending birthright citizenships, ending DEI initiatives, elimination and suppression of unions and workers rights, rollback of child protection laws in the workplace. Those are all mainstream conservative movements. Getting rid of contraceptives and banning abortion is essentially forcing Christian morality upon everyone else.

It’s clear that the right wants an uneducated workforce that they can abuse, underpay, and take advantage of, and the best way to do that is make education the enemy and let them revel in their ignorance. It’s class warfare, and I’m worried that most people on the right are unaware of it.
