    It’s class war. It’s been class war all along.

    That’s why the courts and the legacy media and the bulk of the political establishment have been at the very least enabling him - because what he’s in fact doing, and has been doing since the beginning, is working for the explicit benefit of himself and his moneyed class cronies, to the detriment of everyone else.

    Revealed? We always knew that was the case.

    He’s trying to convert our corporate oligarchy into genuine feudalism. That’s been the right-wing MO for over half a century.

    Wow, really? But I thought he wanted to make Mexico and Denmark pay for things, and do all’s kinda of stuff to help people?

    It’s almost like some fucking idiots voted a guy into office who doesn’t care about them, and wants to create a feudalistic state or something. Like…who ever even saw that coming?

    I told you this the entire campaign. But America cares more about trans people than their own interest.

      It sucks being right about all this because going “I told you this would happen” during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.

      I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump’s lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.

      And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. “It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed.” “Bringing that issue up would be political suicide.”

      And now we’re stuck with Trump.

    “”“Despite claiming to stand for “hardworking American families” — who are typically considered to be a different category of human beings than woke Marxist transgender green-dealers, at least within the Fox Cinematic Universe”“” 😂

    The trade wars during the late 1920’s lead to the Great Depression. The asswipe Orange Nero is making an effort to weaken the USA.

    Democrats and Republicans set him up to do it. No balanced budget, meaning we don’t spend more then is taxed, no line item budget with expenditures that is easily digestible to the public that shows real information like how much corporations are actually paying in total for taxes, with tax cuts, refunds, subsidies, you need to cruise their own financials to find out how much the fed is propping up corporations. All we get is massive trillions of dollars budget consolidations. They owe the citizens services like roads, libraries, affordable housing, because of the damn taxes we pay, hell we could likely even afford free college and hand outs to third world countries if that was all. But we are paying massive subsidies, and buying products at egregious markups, not to mention the damned bailouts to banks and wallstreet, if these bastards don’t pay taxes how the hell they giving them MY money when they get bailed out! because “we under employ hundreds of thousands, if we cowwapse all those people can’t pay their taxes and evewyting cowwapses, so bailout pwease”. Or because someone is a friend with someone so they got the government contract instead of someone that might be capable of doing an amazing job, but doesn’t have name recognition. NO DAMNIT!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, IF THEY WONT PAY TAXES THEN WHAT THEY WANT THEY DON’T GET. No bailouts, no incentives for your fancy plastic devices, no discount for moving shipping here, move your shipping away and pay a tarrif equal to how much you are saving, and OUR tax dollars go to actually fix the country. I70 is a damn toll road, it costs you money to travel between states, like the physical act of passing over land has a cost associated, what the hell are my taxes paying for? Not quality education to make sure the poor dyslexic girl at McDonalds could get a good paying job ill tell you that. Best as I can tell the money I’ve ever paid in taxes is simply paying interest on bombs used to kill children. How can anyone defend this system, even if it is one of the top 100 systems around? You mean there are worse?!?!
