It has long been obvious to me that Democrats take care of Teachers Unions because Teachers Unions give all their money and support to Democrats. By and large this is and long has been true of most Unions, with out and out graft and rent seeking both being common in most solidly Blue States like New York and New Jersey.
But one aspect that occurred to me is that Teachers Unions also play the unique role of reliably delivering Democrat VOTERS, and children so stupid and ignorant they have been effrctively blinded to their own interests.
Ponder and witness their nomination of a 79 year old man for President, who is clearly suffering dementia—and I will note that at his age it is not even the oft quoted “early onset” dementia—and who has been credibly accused of rape by a Democrat, who can produce plenty of winesses who were told about it at the time. He has a long history of being grabby in truly creepy ways, even with very underage girls. He has said countless stupid and thoughtless things on cameta, told blatant bald faced lies, and is under investigation in the Ukraine for a crime he ADMITTED TO ON CAMERA, and for which Trump, though obviously innocent, was impeached.
ONLY conspiracy theories, of one sort or another, are able to explain this astonishing and completely unprecedented situation.
