My biggest frustration is not that Trump won, it’s that as best i can tell these things are not even penetrating into the infosphere of maga. They are not only gleefully celebrating what they think he’s doing, they are also seemingly completely ignorant of what they surely must not realize he’s doing.
“We’re winning! We’re winning! We’re making those little liberal piggies squeal!”
That’s all that matters. Policies are a fucking joke. They’re not real. It’s all vibes-based politicking.
MAGA will blame this on Democrats.
It is on the Democrats, they are also on team kleptocrat. It’s past time to wake up!
Whatevs…. Democrats lost the election and Congress. It’s team fascists now. But sure, gripe about the people who very specifically didn’t do this shit.
Everyday Americans will not stand for these games
I got a bridge to sell this guy!
Rural poor living off welfare - “About time somebody did something about those no good
nwelfare queens”Bonus points if from state that receives the most payments from other states.
America will get what they voted for. Fucked.
Well, he promised tax breaks. If anyone had the illusion that this would benefit lower income brackets, then congratulations: you have officially become senile. Because it follows the same path he did with the last tax breaks: More money for the rich, less for the rest.
Everyone has equal freedom to be rich, so these tax breaks actually benefit everyone while food stamps only benefit the true leeches of society! /s
What the fuck did people think would happen to all the cost savings that doge is supposedly doing? You think that money was just going to sit in government bank accounts or something?
‘Want to be slightly richer, while we speed run a revolution?’
There will be no revolution.
That is because you are conflating the current climate, with the future climate. Trust that everything will continue to get worse for everyone and we are accelerating the decline. There is a limit to what people will take, to say otherwise is to ignore all of human history.
I’m 43. I grew up poor in the south. I’ve been watching this happen my entire life. Those of you that think this can somehow be fixed, you’re where I was 20 years ago. Talks of change and revolution and power in the hands of the people has been around for about as long as “we the people” have. We’re to comfortable, by design, in our misery and outrage. We will not give up our meager comforts to show the people in power we’re tired of it. The revolutionist mindset is fostered by the ruling class, knowing full well we’re all too complacent, afraid and just comfortable with it all to challenge their rule.
These Republicans are worse than locusts.
Locusts are at least honest when they come to destroy everything.
I hate the language around the federal budget. First, how budget figures are reporting in 10 year intervals, when everything else is reported in 1 year intervals. So everything sounds 10 times bigger. When like only 5% of the population ever looks at the federal budget, this creates a TON of confusion.
Second, how reductions in tax (like to the rich) are reported as “giveaways”. Taxes go in, not out. That’s a reduction in revenue, not an expenditure or liability. You can say, “shift the tax burden even more onto the lower and middle classes”. Then it’s actually accurate. Getting fired from your job is not an expense, it’s a loss of income. Same thing.
It might be semantically incorrect but it is still a decrease in tax for the rich which given the current disparity in wealth frankly is barely a distinction at all.
It is factually incorrect. It is not giving them money, it is taking less money from them.
You’re just dealing with literal definition versus an inferred result, however you know this, you literally chose to deconstruct it in your original comment.
Laymans use imperfect allegories, that doesn’t make them incorrect. If the message’s intent is clear to imply that the only correct interpretation is the literal one is just bad faith.
American friends, what are you waiting for to deploy your guillotines?
Sure we are getting fucked all over the world but it seems that you are having it way worse…
This infuriates me more than anything else, but the Republicans were very clear on their intentions and were elected democratically.
It sucks that we don’t have a legit opposition party that actually cares about the poor and working class.
No. Instead the “opposition” party is doing everything they can to chastize their own base for flooding their phone lines demanding they do something to stop the madness.
All while groveling on bent knee to the tech asshats that are paying trump off.
