  2. So basically, the same playbook that the Republicans have been using for the past 80 years? They fuck over the working class, cut taxes for the rich and do whatever they can to destroy the social safety net.

  3. “In order to be a part of the totalitarian mind-set, it is not necessary to wear a uniform or carry a club or a whip. It is only necessary to wish for your own subjection, and to delight in the subjection of others.”

    ― Christopher Hitchens

  5. It’s as if being less than wealthy is a crime. It means you are weak and deserve nothing from your government. The French Revolution comes to mind whenever I write about the rich vs the poor.

  6. Yeah, they told us before the election. More attention was paid to their denials afterward

  7. That’s been conservatism for the past 45+ years… the only difference is Trump.

  8. It’s about culling the flock of sheep they somehow fooled into thinking they were wolves.

  9. Exactly what Jesus preached, right? Commandment 11: Thou shalt forsake the vulnerable while exalting the wealthy.

  11. Every one of these “church goers” will be wearing lead cloaks in the end

  13. Clinton, Obama and Biden raised taxes on the wealthy, expanded government services that help average Americans, reduced inequality, improved the economy and decreased the deficit. Bush and Trump cut taxes on the wealthy, cut government programs, increased inequality, greatly increased the deficit and crashed the economy.

  15. Elon and Trump being buddies running the government together infuriates me so much on a primal level that I can feel every atom in my body seething. They live rent free in my head and it incenses me man, just an unprecedented loathing and intense anger that veers on the edge of insanity. I can’t be the only one, there’s no way

  18. MAGA voted for this so we are going to get it. The poor aging population is going to feel their vote effecting them

  21. Thank God that all Trump supporters are rich – otherwise how will they survive!

  23. And Fox News saying Trump is trying to help but the Democrats are standing in the way when shit goes sideways.

  30. It’s like America voted him again and expect it to be différent from the first time around. It’s worse , he’s feeling empowered because of this.

  31. Same as it ever was

    Same as it ever was

    Same as it ever was

  33. Any day now he’s going to lift up all the MAGA supporters in rundown houses and cars and make them millionaires.

    It’s going to happen, in fact his “concept” for that plan is just out of frame.
