After having conversations with quite a few Trump supporters, seeing a common theme that a lot of them really don't like #marginalized groups being allowed to vote, I'm noticing there has been a pretty strong uptick in messaging out of conservative / #authoritarian #propaganda sources like #HillsdaleCollege specifically talking about "the importance of the #ElectoralCollege." and to a lesser extent about preserving the #TwoParty system...

I think they are seeing the same thing I'm seeing: we are reaching a critical point of people being sick of the two-party system and all the other anti-#democracy systems in the #US government.

Once again, this election is a mandate on democracy itself, and I think we could get rid of the Electoral College in the next 4 years, and make a major dent in the two-party system by the end of the decade.

That alone is reason not to give up on democracy, and GO VOTE FOR KAMALA HARRIS.

Superb 3-part series:
War on public schools being fought f. Hillsdale College
How tiny Christian college is leading the right-wing fight on education

This ad for #HillsdaleCollege came up on my sponsored #Hatebook feed.

This "private, #conservative, #Christian college" in #Michigan conned the Governors of #Tennessee and #Florida into sending their state's tax dollars out-of-state for #PublicSchool curricula!

Or were the #American tax dollars sent OUT OF COUNTRY? It sure looks like #HillsdaleCollege is owned and operated by the #Kremlin. Is #Qanon the President of #Hillsdale College?

Matthew “Don’t Vote” Walther is a fascist Hillsdale college darling, and liar who votes for Trump and Republicans. The New York Times is a #FascistRag.

This is a friendly, even if pedantic, reminder to talking heads, such as Bruce Maiman, that #DonaldTheDeplorable did not say "I love the non-college #educated!", he said "I love the *poorly* educated!" https://www.huffpost.com/entry/opinion-donald-trump-college-educated-republicans_n_65b2a8a6e4b04d8995104d8e

#MAGA cult members who graduated from fake 'universities', such as #LibertyU or #HillsdaleCollege , are in fact 'poorly educated'. And unlike #NikkiHaley donors, they are quite welcome in the #MAGAcult !

Who wore the #BrownShirt better?

Middle #Tennessee State University and the (checks notes) conservative activism network formed by defeated #Wisconsin governor #ScottWalker , ‘Young America’s Foundation’ (#YAF ), are presenting a Distinguished Lecture on “The Myth of the #RobberBarons.” #Histodons

The ‘Distinguished Lecturer’ is from #HillsdaleCollege. #ContradictionInTerms

Strange how this #PublicLecture will be at 9:40 am on a Thursday!

#Christian #HillsdaleCollege faces #lawsuit from #students alleging failure to address #sexualviolence.

#GraceChen and #DanielleVillarreal chose Hillsdale for its perceived #safety. They now sue, claiming they were #raped and the #college failed to help them in the aftermath.
