0·15 days agoAnd every year states and schools lower the bars for what “x-grade level” is so they can meet minimum performance standards and not lose funding. Which circles back around nicely to the point of the OP.
That’s not a Trump original. I’m sure it’s been said before that, but it’s a line from The West Wing. The president’s chief of staff makes the comment “To sweep all fifty states, the president would only need to do two things: blow the Sultan’s brains out in Times Square, then walk across the street to Nathan’s and buy a hot dog.”

You mean the super conservative, etho-nationalist German Empire that also conducted the Herero and Nama genocide, keeping the survivors in concentration camps to use for slave labor and torturous race related medial experiments?
Hitler didn’t convince the Nazi generation to suddenly be Nazis with his compelling oratory. He latched onto a deep rot which had already been present in that society for a long time.

The population of the Chicago metro area (excluding the 2 WI and 2 IN counties that get lumped in) accounts for 66% of the population of the state.
The combined population of the Houston, Dallas, and Austin metro areas only account for 58% of the population of the state.
Not only that, most of Chicagoland is blue, but you cannot say the same for Texas cities where most of the outlying suburbs of the metro area are red.
The population of Houston proper, Dallas proper, and Austin proper combined only make up 15% of the population of Texas. But Chicago proper alone makes up over 21% of the population of Illinois. Throw in Aurora and Naperville to make the 3 city comparison a little more fair, and you get almost 26% of the population of IL.
