I was talking about the election with my Senior class, (I teach SPED Social Studies at an alternative high school) and we had a member of the Evaluation Team sit in with us. I kept it neutral, open ended questions no leading questions. My best student, girl named Dajae lit into Trump, calling him racist, a scammer, saying that people were dumb to vote for him. Evaluation Team white lady says, "I don't think I've ever heard him say anything racist."
I then went over his racist social media posts, Mexicans are rapists, immigrants eating cats and dogs. Lady then tried to deflect by saying that was someone in his campaign that made him say those things. I replied by stating that he is at the head of the campaign and no one can put words in his mouth without his approval. Lady then brought up how he hangs out with Black rappers and athletes. I then pointed out that plenty of people like Black culture and celebrities without necessarily caring for Black people. She then said that she got tired of paying 4.50 for a bag of chips.
Cherry on top, Puerto Rican male told me that Trump was gonna send out more stimulus checks "because people are struggling." Apparently, he heard this from his parents and since he's now 18, he can receive astimulus check well to help out his family. Just gotta let the leopards feast man. It is what it is at this point. When things go to hell because of his tariffs and cutting 2 trillion from the budget, people will realize they fukked up and will be looking for the off ramp to MAGA.
