remember until it affects them personally in a negative way they don’t care about what this administration does. This is what make it so difficult to change a large population of trump supporter’s minds, because they seem to not have much empathy for anyone but themselves.
GODDAMN IT. Every fucking thing that happens in this world has to be some kind of fucking conspiracy to these people. Nothing can just be what it is.
When the government just takes the tax money and gives it to the wealthy there really is no reason to have to go through the act of building a business and hoping people buy your product or service.
. It’s things like not wanting to “waste” money on their 10year rental of office space that no one uses.
Which I’ve seen as a slightly hidden transfer of expense to the employee.
Company sees their empty office building as a waste of money but your home/apartment being empty for 8+ hours 5 days a week is okay because it doesn’t affect their bottom line.
I’ve had a conversation with a couple of trump supporters that are also outdoors people (hunting, fishing, camping). And they use the public lands for most of their hobbies. They told me that this is what would get them to question their vote.
While there are many things that I feel should have gotten them to this question sooner like illegally deporting people, raises prices of everything, etc. etc. But I wonder how many others on the fringe of this cult that are outdoors people this legislation will piss off?
This speaks to a broader issue -
whenever there is an economic crisis, whether manufactured by trump or created in other ways, its never the rich that have to sacrifice its only the middle and lower classes. And when the wealthy are ever asked to sacrifice in the form of higher taxes they get pissed off and call everyone else a “taker” of their money.
I genuinely believe that most people understand this but our collective voices have been muted, manipulated and managed by some in positions of power.
Wonder why? Seems to me like a money printing machine for them, the factory and non- factory repair shops and the aftermarket.
Unless it’s seen as a way to hide your car from illegal activities, which well now that I think about it is probably the reason they didn’t follow through with the idea.
Fuck you, JD
Honestly it wouldn’t be too little to late if the reps in the house and senate grew a spine and pushed back as well. But I think that they have had it too cushy for too long and don’t actually know how to govern.
Genuine question:
How do courts and the legal system actually enforce these decisions? I can’t see US Marshalls walking into the White House and handcuffing trump. So what is it that they can do, if anything?
Quit enjoying your life with games and get back to making me and my billionaire buddies more money you slacker!
History shows us that you can safely assume Trump is lying when he says something
will be good for the Amrican people. Full stop.
FTFY
I seem to remember a story from trumps first term that there was a few hundred children that went missing from their detention centers and ICE didn’t have a clue as to where they went.
Did this happen? And was there any follow up?
Because if it’s true then ICE has been at the very least turning a blind eye towards human trafficking for years.
Another data point (if you needed one) that republicans and billionaires only give a shit about something when it affects them personally.
Illegal deportations - not their problem
threats to journalists - not their problem
dehumanizing specific groups of people - not their problem
thousands of federal employees losing their jobs overnight - not their problem
defying constitutional amendments - not their problem
Fuck with their ability to hoard more money - Shit we need to do something!
I think that most billionaires are clueless to how savagely hated they are by the larger population.
Yet to many of this followers these stories are all just bullshit lefty propaganda to smear the name of their great leader. They aren’t completely dumb they just have been brainwashed to only believe certain people and certain news organizations.
I can understand your point of not wanting to travel to the US and you’re correct that there is a high number of people that have a negative view of anyone “different” than them. And I would probably say it’s a good idea not to for the reason you gave and more, but there are many very passionate people that are fighting for the rights of everyone in America, they just don’t get the press so it can be easily interpreted that no one in the US cares.
There are rotten people in power and due to their station they have control of the microphone which makes it sound like that is what everyone thinks. That isn’t true.
I honestly think that both parties like to not be in power for this very reason. All the money and none of the responsibilities. Pretty sweet setup
Yep, senators and congress people are not afraid of Vance like they are of trump. It would/will be an interesting turn of events if ol’ couch fucker gets a shot at the big desk.
