Extra bezuinigingen van 540 miljoen op onderwijs en 600 miljoen op de zorg. En dit kabinet was al bezig met een frontale aanval op hoger onderwijs. Dit kabinet sloopt de publieke sector.

Jongens, het belangrijke verhaal is al lang niet meer 'woke' maar juist de anti-woke kruistocht. Er vindt in de VS een rechtse revolutie plaats onder de vlag van verzet tegen diversiteit. Zou toch fijn zijn om eens een journalist, politicus of academicus over die bedreiging te horen.
