ADLER: Why believe this propaganda?

| March 8, 2023 1:00 AM

What is David Adler referring to when saying “our democracy?” His view, not mine. Why else would he say, “the effort to squelch dissent, to deny the right to vote, to attack education, to marginalize people who don’t fit into that majority view?” This, my friends, is nothing more than indicating no compromise on his perceived values and that those views need to be imposed on all of us. Why then, no matter what his views, should I believe his propaganda?

The Republicans squelch dissent? Sounds like that’s what he’s doing. Republicans are denying you the right to vote? Most people never vote. Why? Good question. That’s not because they are prohibited by Idaho government. Republicans are attacking education? Nothing more than a talking point to discredit the other side. Did you see what an Auburn Washington teacher recently said? “So many students are not safe in this nation from their Christo-fascist parents.” If this teacher continues in her job, all the students in Auburn should be removed from the public school system. Education is more important than that fascist teacher knows.

Do you understand what he means by “to marginalize people who don’t fit into that majority view?” That must mean you must act, talk, discriminate, squelch dissenting views and only educate your children the way he approves.

I’ve heard no suggestion from the small group pictured in The Press on Feb. 26 to improve NIC, only they are not in power and want to be.
