You probably already know but, those arguments aren't why the GOP were outraged. It's what they thought would be most likely to get the public outraged.
"the public" seems dumb as fuck.
That no longer matters as they are not the ones in charge anymore...
That's not true, and a dangerous cop out
Yes, you can blame the GOP for defunding education as well.
(I have exactly zero love for the Zionazi-owned Dems either but I'm not aware of them ever defunding education)
