Bessent: I just wanted a fascist government takeover, not a bad economy.

They did after the Great Depression. The tariffs Trump is implemented have a good chance of creating a Depression.

Also, food isn’t the only way to get people to turn to violence. Violence against a population, collective punishment, and unnecessarily dangerous work conditions work as well. The American Revolution turned from a political squabble to a military one when the British heavily occupied Boston as punishment. Labor strikes used to be violent, mainly out of necessity.

That’s going to be pretty soon at this rate. The number one reason people are looking the other way is because they’re afraid of losing their jobs and healthcare. We’re heading for a bad recession this summer where a lot of people will lose both anyways. So they will be all out of excuses.

This is also why fired federal workers are one of the angriest groups so far.

I’m going to Washington D.C. on April 5th with my Dad. My mom has been freaking out because she’s convinced I’ll get abducted off the street and Trump will send me to El Salvador. I believe this is very unlikely and I’m going to D.C. anyways. Though I feel really bad freaking my mom out.

Edit: I am white. I’m not worried about being abducted. I just feel bad my mom is freaking out, and I’m wondering if anyone else has dealt with family members that didn’t want them to protest.

Luigi Mangione has been the only thing uniting the left and right in the US. This is one of the few things that has managed to break through Fox News propaganda. Killing a legendary hero isn’t the win the GOP thinks it is.

All this, and Biden wasn’t allowed to forgive our student loans…

The “pro-life” party really loves the death penalty…

What I was thinking too.

They kind of already are. It’s thought that 45 is developing dementia. 45 talks differently than he has ten years ago. People dismiss it because he’s always been out there, but he’s definitely declined.

When his father, Fred Trump, developed dementia he was given a fake office and fake papers to keep him busy. 45’s papers aren’t fake but people behind the scenes are manipulating him.
