Regular Folks In Revolt
Just at the right time – primary season.
As far as most real people are concerned the Drooler and the Party of Drag Queens are dead mice on the kitchen floor of American politics. But the hostility goes way beyond even that.

We may be seeing a political re-alignment like we haven't seen since1933. School choice – taken to is logical conclusion – is a rejection of the old “Prussian system" of compulsory attendance in government-run schools. Next stop after rejection is defundng and disbandment of government-run schools. Government paid unionized teachers and administrators are RAPIDLY become the enemy. Nobody wants o pay taxes to pay socialists who are in essence abusing their children. In the next few years, hundreds of thousand of teachers may find themselves on the bricks and widely ostracized.
I'm sure there are lots of good teachers, but parents cannot discern the good ones from the bad ones and are making the Murphy's Law conclusion: All teachers bad.
This is actually a huge umbrella of grievances. Transgenderism is the standard, but CRT, tolerance of poor performance, lack of school security and the educational systems disdain for average American norms as well. Rather than squander political will of a legion of small battles on narrow issues people have come to the conclusion the whole system is evil and look to fight one big battle against it. Throw out all the babies with all the polluted bathwater and start the whole system - kindergarten through grad school - out all over again.
Quite often building a new building starts with razing an old one on the site. So it is with American education.
