I wonder how many typical maga idiots, if they even are aware of what is happening, are wondering why donvict is not hurting the people he “needs to be hurting”. The others are probably blaming Biden.
And then I have to wonder what the bothsiderists/centrists and so-called “leftists” that were claiming Harris/Biden were no different are going to say as they wake up to stuff like this? They were and are spending so much time on trying to gaslight everyone and telling people that an economy that had so many positive indicators and was trending in the right direction was just terrible, etc., ignoring the fact that a dummy like donnie could easily destroy what others have built…
They’ve largely disappeared, as the foreign disinformation campaign has successfully concluded. Only the most pretentiously loud and gullible are left.
Cutting benefits for the poorest.
Recipe for civil unrest, riots.
Riots mean more militarization of police, more authoritarianism, and domestic camps like Arpaio’s shitholes.
Now you have opportunity for forced labor to take the place of the exploited migrant labor we used to have.
Republicans just wanted to put minorities back in the fields as essentially slaves.
You mean more minorities. The prison industrial complex has been about slavery in all but name since the Reconstruction era.
Yes, of course. What they always wanted was cheaper labor; they cultivated hatred of immigrants among conservative voters as a way to enslave all Americans, including their own electorate. They will make everyone poorer so they are desperate enough to accept putting their children in the mines and factories.
It’s almost like they aren’t aware of this piece of history
Gonna be honest with you.
Americans don’t have the balls.
Hope I’m wrong. Pretty sure I’m not.
You know, the last ten years have been a whole lot of “no way that will happen” and then that thing happens. I never ever would have believed that Luigi would have caused the kind of outpouring that he did or possibly even set a UHC bankruptcy in motion. We’re sitting on a powder keg, saying it’ll never go off because the sparks never caught for long before.
Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it’s a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the “it couldn’t possibly happen here” message.
Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn’t wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn’t know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.
In his perspective, the idea of a “fluke” is not a fluke at all, it’s a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Peasants were entirely self sufficient and had nothing to lose. It simply isn’t the case for anyone who lives in a city.
Military coup is possible though
The French revolution wasn’t lead by the rural peasants.
As an American who is a liberal gun owner I will agree with you.
Every day more people feel like they have nothing to lose.
It’s only a matter of time until they take matters into their own hands.
That only applies to the French. That can’t happen here. ™
“I didn’t vote for this!” - Every dumbass that voted for this.
As others have pointed out, this is social murder.
The red run welfare Oblast voters will enjoy their shit sandwich. Fucking morons.
If you are between 100% & 125% of poverty and in a state that didn’t expand Medicaid, you still get nearly free healthcare through Obamacare.
Nearly free? I’d tell you to tell that to my dad, but he passed away after getting thoroughly drained of most of his savings thanks to his “nearly free” health care while dying of cancer.
What is your point, exactly?
Moron.
Is what I said false?
Yes.
Make America Great Again, they never said for whom.
While this administration justified its urgency for punishing tariffs on Canada and Mexico due to a fentanyl crisis taking life of thousands of good Americans, the same administration is about to take life of hundreds of thousands of good Americans itself to make billionaires wealthier.
They didn’t need to if you remember who it was great for before…
Comments prove they’re masters at keeping us divided against ourselves.
Food and health. Wow
This is what American public wanted. 🤗
49.8% of voters and roughly 22% of overall population.
On the DemocracyNOW broadcast today they called it social murder. I think that’s more accurate.
“Theft” implies a transfer of wealth, but that’s not how government funding works. They aren’t taking money from the poor to give it to the rich, they are just taking money from the poor because they want them to die.
Sounds correct but who is going to fight the wars?
That’s the trick! Poor people that have had their healthcare and food taken away can enlist in the army for a wage and free healthcare. The very people the government is killing with its social murder agenda are the ones that will fight the wars.
Unless they’re disabled or old or trans or something, then they can just die. Win/Win as far as the fascist party is concerned.
So obsessed about things named after America that they are in track for the second American revolution
Will Americans get to celebrate 250 years next year? Stay tuned…
They will be required to by dear leader.
Americans have been poisoned with the idea that any kind of aid to poor people is the cause of poverty.
And now we’re going to get a hard dose of what its like to live in a country without social benefits.
As someone on SSDI, Medicaid/Medicare, and in HUD housing…… I’ve been terrified since Jan 20th. But I had hope that this bullshit might be stopped because I foolishly believed the Democrats would grow a fucking spine.
All these people who keep telling me I’m over exaggerating (on both sides) — especially my own family — will be shocked when I’m homeless or disappeared in the next few months.
This is a nightmare that never ends. I just want to wake up and for it all to be over.
I’m in the final stages of getting on SSDI and I just don’t know what to do. If I work through the pain I’m going to be proving them right but i don’t have a job and i have no idea how much longer they will drag this shit out on me.
