America had a class war. And Americans lost.
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...
Sorry can’t afford a guillotine, too preoccupied with trying to get enough overtime to afford basic necessities to be starting a revolution nobody else will show up for 🤷♀️
Ah yes, republicans with the ol’ trickle-down economics… always works, right?! Right?!
Piss on the little guy economics.
Know how we can directly trace the enshitification of the United States in many ways back to the Reagan administration?
Yeah, we just did that to ourselves again. But probably worse.
Realistically, we're going to spend the remainder of our lives witnessing the further enshitification of this nation.
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.
The problem was:
- Not everyone knew, due to them only really caring about politics each election year.
- Got the wrong news source.
- Thought since politicians lie, some part of what they promised won't be done.
During the campaign Trump repeatedly said he wouldn't mess with Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. Towards the end of the campaign he stopped saying Medicaid. But just last week he was asked about cuts and said he wouldn't touch Medicaid.
I guess it's all true because Congress is going to cut all three.
A bunch of trump admin people wrote project 2025 with the heritage foundation. Trump himself is a well known liar and was under criminal prosecution.
We knew it would be tax cuts for the richest, again. At this point its still surprising that people are dumb enough to believe his words over his actions..
The amount of people I know that said they were voting Trump for "economic reasons" is far too high.
I know they make less money than I do, so they're definitely not the ones benefitting from Trumps economic plans. The absolute buffoons.
I'm well aware of project 2025, and I've understood for ten years now that if Trump's mouth is open, he's lying.
My best friend relies on medication to function that would cost $1600 each month if not for Medicaid. Obviously he can't afford private insurance. I was trying to reassure him that it might not happen with the (dis)information in my last post a couple days ago. He's screwed.
At this point its still surprising that people are dumb enough to believe his words over his actions…
Not to me. At least half of Americans are not much better than apes. Honestly feels like we've got two different branches of the human tree coexisting. Like Neanderthals coexisting with homo sapiens.
It sucks that we have a society overflowing with braindead losers.
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?
Some, forget which other than Meidas Touch, said that was exactly what the "cuts" were going to do, pay for Trumps tax breaks
‘Want to be slightly richer, while we speed run a revolution?’
Hoarding a bunch of US dollars while giving everyone every incentive to disconnect from the US economy.
It's like they think the economic world order is a law of nature.
We could all stop using money today, and decide on a whole different system, and they'd have nothing again but our hatred.
Keep pushing, morons.
You’re absolutely right. They really don’t understand that once they have all the money, people just switch to something else and everything they hoarded becomes worthless.
The only real value is in our resources, labor, and manufacturing capability, and those will still be here.
This is why I've always considered "capital flight" an empty threat. Let capital leave.... They've done more harm by staying and slowly moving all of our production capacity overseas.
These idiots think destroying the systems will hurt us, they're so bought into their own bullshit. That's the silver lining in all this, we'll build back stronger.
