Spending less and diverting more to brick and mortar and speciality programs do not make up for staffing and overall quality of #education in the province.

There is something ironically right about it. Truly iconic image. Trump heroically, righteously defiant to ... nothing. There is no enemy (unless its a MAGA-ish young man with mental health issues.) It catches the soul of MAGA: pseudo-patriotic negative polarisation against non-existent demons.
