Why is it that the most advanced industries in America are mostly clustered around cities where major research is engaged in by universities?

Because those were the first 13 colonies?

Yes, Trump is going to save education from the left-wing authoritarian shift!  God bless America!

I'm sorry BangkokReady, but you are really showing your ignorance of National Socialist educational policy. If you do any research on this you will see that the Trump administration and Project 2025 are following the exact same playbook. Jason Stanley is a leading authority on this subject.

I miss those days.  We all do.  Nowadays, they have to compile poop maps in those same cities because it's not nice to call a spade a spade.  

 

 China's lapping us precisely because they don't practice that fooknuttery.  (Edit:  Among other reasons...)

 

We want those good ol' days back.  That's that last A in MAGA.

Right. San Francisco and Silicon Valley have been major contributors to America's decline. If it weren't for the contributions of states like Mississippi and North Dakota, America would be doomed.

Perhaps it's better to do that research at universities that can define what a woman is.

 

Wow!  That'd take a lot of research and a lot of money!

But Trump is nice to Jews, and National Socialists wanted to kill them all.

And currently the world lefties hate Jews ..............

So if anything todays lefties appear to be today's Nazis.

A very apt Nom de Plume and a post to match.  You do realize that in the US, the state governments carry the bulk of the burden for delivering an education to its residents?  The Federal Dept. offers assistance, attempts to ensure equal access to all children, collects data and conducts research.... not much to do with actual teaching or setting curiculum.

It's superficial reasoning to argue that just because Trump has a Jewish in-law and is buddying up to Netanyahu that there are no parallels between Trump and National Socialism. The Nazis used the Jewish people as a convenient scapegoat for all of Germany's problems post WWI (accusing them of having been the cause of Germany's defeat, portraying them as money grubbing and defiling the racial purity of the Germanic people.) They were also associated with hated Bolshevism (Communism).

 

The Nazis used the Jewish people as a scapegoat, labelling them the "other" which needed to be eliminated from German society. It's also important to point out that the Nazis were almost equally as hostile to most all other non-Germanic people as well. My point is that the Nazis could just as easily chosen a different scapegoat if circumstances had permitted it.

 

The Trump administration has merely substituted immigrants, Muslims, and other minority groups for the scapegoat target, but simply because the choice of scapegoat target has changed does not eliminate the parallels between the Nazi and MAGA movements.

 

When you look at Trump's efforts to consolidate power in the executive branch, the use of propaganda, the untethering from the truth, the cult-like fervor behind the MAGA movement, the attacks on the press, the judiciary, the Federal reserve, the threats of militia and street violence, the attacks on educational institutions (book burning anyone?) as well as all of the other anti-democratic and autocratic steps he has taken, the parallels between the tactics and policies he is pursuing and the tactics and policies the Nazis pursued are unmistakable.

 

Furthermore, Trump's positions on foreign aid to third world countries, refusal to acknowledge climate change (which disproportionately impacts third world countries, his ethnic cleansing approach to the Gaza conflict, and his immigration policies, etc., etc. can all be seen as being in line with Nazi "survival of the fittest" ideology.

These places need to lose their accreditation and lose eligibility to be considered for student loans from the feds.
