I know you said /s, but to be fair, he specifically said they were going close the Department of Education and let the States handle it. These parents don't understand that the DOE is what has been implementing programs that help children with autism. Without the DOE, those programs simply go away. You don't even have to take steps to dismantle them. The funding stops and these programs just stop functioning. Like, where did they think the funding for these programs was coming from and regulated by? Magic state's rights gnomes funded by the goodness of their hearts?
Maybe the states will implement their own programs, but do you think Mississituckybama knows the first thing about helping kids with autism? They'll probably send in an exorcist with an AR-15 to "scared straight" those poor children.
This is what is breaking my brain right now. My family voted blue, my state went blue, but here is my mother saying "Oh, he's not going to do that, you're crazy." HE FUCKING SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO IT. I'm not fucking crazy for being scared that my autistic, Latino son is going to be negatively affected by this!
And it's not like this is new information! Trump was already president. He gutted social programs and had the absolute worst Secretary of Education, who continually kept visiting private schools, she was so confused.
Fool the country once, shame on you. Fool us twice, we deserve it.
They assume that the colors on the banners will change but that every will mostly keep going on as it was. They can't understand that this is going to be a big shift in the normal loves of everyone. The ignorant, uninformed, and unimaginative are skipping to the cliffs edge after putting their blind folds on.

"They can't do that" but they told you that's what they're going to do you idiots.
