So one undergraduate writer in a student journal = Harvard? You think stuff like this is good-faith argument? Very disappointing.

Is it substantive? Will historians see it? Will it filter into culture? Will they match Trump against father and son Bush and Obama?

You are writing in propaganda-speak. Did you know?

Tax complaint filed against rightwing parents’ rights group Moms for Liberty
Michigan attorney alleges organization, named an extremist group by Southern Poverty Law Center, in violation of non-profit status
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-tax-complaint

Quote:

The eight-page complaint questions whether Moms for Liberty is a political educational organization and notes public posts endorsing Republican candidates, the group’s campaigning for Republican candidates, and links to partisan training materials.

“It would be a permissible educational purpose if there were advocating to remove gender discussions from classrooms and schools if there was a balanced presentation of benefits and drawbacks of using a person’s preferred pronouns, supporting LGBTQ youth, impacts on children of being ‘exposed’ to LGBTQ supportive environments,” the complaint states. “There is not.”

The complaint cites a landmark case, American Campaign Academy v Commissioner, in which a school for Republican candidates was ultimately denied its non-profit status because it was providing partisan-only education.

Admission to local chapters is through private Facebook pages and controlled by the national organization, the complaint continues, obscuring the ability to determine how the group’s educational activities benefit the public.

The IRS complaint also examines if Moms for Liberty is an action organization, raising questions about its participation in political campaigns and active recruitment of school board candidates.

They're clearly just an arm of the fascist GOP. Looks like not everyone in Michigan is a fool, eh Whell?

Why is it that virtually every right wing humanitarian project turns out to be a grift? Leaving the needy farther in debt would be the maraschino cherry on top.
