Just more proof that the Republican party is driven by hate and not logic.

    I’ve got news for them. My finances will be ok, and I’ll still be able to retire someday. I’d wager this will have less of an impact on me than on the magat trailer trash around here.

      They are looking for every possible way to take that away from you.

      You have a 401k? They’re crashing the stock market to make you dependent on your job for longer.

      You have a mortgage? Maybe you already paid off your house? Crash the housing market to send your mortgage underwater or decimate your nest egg.

      Do you plan on relying on medicare for healthcare when you’re old and retired? I hope not. That’s next.

      Maybe you can afford private healthcare? Destroy the CDC and the FDA to make sure you get sick from preventable diseases, so that you need to pay more for that healthcare.

      Whatever net worth you think you have, Trump, Musk, and MAGA will take it. You’re just a pocketbook to them.

        They are also hoping to make anyone that is too “uppity” (in other words, smarter than the average qon) scared to live their lives normally. They snicker about the fear that the government might kidnap dissidents and sent them to a gulag.

        I’m sure many DREAM about the ability to rat out anyone that makes them look stupid about any given issue - being able to call some hotline and have the goons take away the people that made them look bad…

          Man I was gonna add a whole part about Cletus the trailer trash calling ICE to deport an American citizen, thinking he’ll somehow be able to seize OP’s home and squat in it, without understanding how civil forfeiture works. But I left it out because I felt like I had gone on long enough. But yeah, what you described is basically exactly what I expect to happen in 4-6 months.
