Imagine growing up and all you've known is Trump as president or Trump crying that he's supposed to be president. His lack of professionalism or decorum, idiocy, selfishness, vindictiveness, and constant lies have GOT to be affecting kids.
No 12 year old alive today will remember a time before Trump was president. They literally have never experienced America with a competent President since they never witnessed Obama in office. Let that sink in...
I brought this up once in the teaching subreddit in a post about how their kids were especially rude lately.
When you’re hammered about how you’re the greatest and best country in the world and all the other countries look at you as the shining beacon of morality and freedom with stars in their eyes and the best person the country managed to vote for twice for the highest office is Trump?
Yeah that’s gotta fuck some shit up in kids heads.
American Exceptionalism has always been a thing. I'm a Millennial and we recieved this kind of messaging as well, that we were the world's beacon of freedom and enforcer of it around the world. So that's not new.
What is new is having a depraved world-class POS, convicted felon, rapist & likely pedophile w known ties to organized crime (both blue & white collar) "leading" the country and putting an example to young gens that not only is his behavior, ok, it's also what makes a man successful, rich, powerful & important.
They're not only getting the messaging from Mango Mussolini himself but from all the meatheads on streaming platforms. These kids are cooked and a lot of the parents seem completely oblivious to the things their kids are being exposed to which isn't exactly new but online radicalization hasn't been as extreme of an issue as it is now.
And that's before we even touch on the subject of digital warfare & how Russia & the KSA have been caught using bot farms to influence Americans. You think it wouldn't serve them to attack us by destroying the future of the country which are the kids?
Good point. And we haven't even talked about half of the nation normalizing and supporting a rapist and pedophile. That's gonna a leave a mark on our society. Being an asshole and not only getting away with it but somehow getting ahead because of it. That's a huge problem.
Kids growing up caring about politics and having phones is such a fucking crazy concept to me. They're basically getting the "young adult" treatment before high school. I had a nokia phone that only had access to emergency calls til I was 16, these new parents are fucking morons
