Cutting benefits for the poorest.
Recipe for civil unrest, riots.
Riots mean more militarization of police, more authoritarianism, and domestic camps like Arpaio’s shitholes.
Now you have opportunity for forced labor to take the place of the exploited migrant labor we used to have.
Republicans just wanted to put minorities back in the fields as essentially slaves.
Not only did the Soviets win the cold war, but the South won the civil war. Should we check to see if the Spanish somehow ended up winning thr Spanish-American war too?
Yes, of course. What they always wanted was cheaper labor; they cultivated hatred of immigrants among conservative voters as a way to enslave all Americans, including their own electorate. They will make everyone poorer so they are desperate enough to accept putting their children in the mines and factories.
You mean more minorities. The prison industrial complex has been about slavery in all but name since the Reconstruction era.
It’s almost like they aren’t aware of this piece of history
Gonna be honest with you.
Americans don’t have the balls.
Hope I’m wrong. Pretty sure I’m not.
You know, the last ten years have been a whole lot of “no way that will happen” and then that thing happens. I never ever would have believed that Luigi would have caused the kind of outpouring that he did or possibly even set a UHC bankruptcy in motion. We’re sitting on a powder keg, saying it’ll never go off because the sparks never caught for long before.
Brian Klass is a political scientist who recently put out his own philosophy of chaos theory. I think it’s a pretty useful tool to look at contemporary movements and really refutes the “it couldn’t possibly happen here” message.
Pre-2011 there was a paper published on why middle eastern dictatorships were so stable. The next year almost all of them fell. Klass argues that the author wasn’t wrong, they just were working with the rules and tools we knew at the time, but didn’t know the rules had changed with the invention of social media.
In his perspective, the idea of a “fluke” is not a fluke at all, it’s a data point showing that things are changing and changing fast. Things just feel like flukes when our assumptions of the way things work become outdated.
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
Peasants were entirely self sufficient and had nothing to lose. It simply isn’t the case for anyone who lives in a city.
Military coup is possible though
The French revolution wasn’t lead by the rural peasants.
The enlightenment era revolutions were, almost unanimously, instigated and led by upper middle class fuckboys.
They don’t have the balls or the outwards thinking. The only time they’ll be thinking “We need to guillotine these bastards” is when they’re being dragged into an ICE-truck. But of course the onlookers won’t be thinking that.
Every day more people feel like they have nothing to lose.
It’s only a matter of time until they take matters into their own hands.
As an American who is a liberal gun owner I will agree with you.
Need more liberal gun owners to be made. Try to recommend people to good organizations from people you know
We all do the problem is everyone is doing their own things. There is no online community server to unite everyone to do together and collaborate yet
If one was made on Revolt, & another on Matrix then getting people in to do, inform, discuss, work together, & more then we can all make HUGE progress in a day. And then from every day onward
Many people are up for this, and efforts are being done to get it started but we need more people focused on doing it together
Magats will think this only exist for dems.
I’m sure their were boot lickers in those days too
It’s almost like people think times haven’t changed since then
That only applies to the French. That can’t happen here. ™
I wonder how many typical maga idiots, if they even are aware of what is happening, are wondering why donvict is not hurting the people he “needs to be hurting”. The others are probably blaming Biden.
And then I have to wonder what the bothsiderists/centrists and so-called “leftists” that were claiming Harris/Biden were no different are going to say as they wake up to stuff like this? They were and are spending so much time on trying to gaslight everyone and telling people that an economy that had so many positive indicators and was trending in the right direction was just terrible, etc., ignoring the fact that a dummy like donnie could easily destroy what others have built…
They’ve largely disappeared, as the foreign disinformation campaign has successfully concluded. Only the most pretentiously loud and gullible are left.
If i have to hear one more of them try to not explain what Donald is doing with “Biden“
Just no. That doesn’t explain anything. Explain Donald. Make that make sense. Explaining Biden just to describe how much they like Donald is just them chanting their brainwashing tape at this point.
Them “wondering” implies they are capable of thought. They are not.
“I didn’t vote for this!” - Every dumbass that voted for this.
Make America Great Again, they never said for whom.
While this administration justified its urgency for punishing tariffs on Canada and Mexico due to a fentanyl crisis taking life of thousands of good Americans, the same administration is about to take life of hundreds of thousands of good Americans itself to make billionaires wealthier.
They didn’t need to if you remember who it was great for before…
As others have pointed out, this is social murder.
It also restricts all forms of gender affirming care, including medication, from being funded by Medicare. 150,000 trans folk will soon be forcibly detransitioned, and for many, it is literally lifelong required medication because of past surgeries.
It’s controlling, cruel and needless. But thats what conservatives want so here we are.
So obsessed about things named after America that they are in track for the second American revolution
Will Americans get to celebrate 250 years next year? Stay tuned…
They will be required to by dear leader.
Food and health. Wow
The red run welfare Oblast voters will enjoy their shit sandwich. Fucking morons.
Comments prove they’re masters at keeping us divided against ourselves.
This is what American public wanted. 🤗
49.8% of voters and roughly 22% of overall population.
Paygo is a poison pill the GOPux passed in 1990
We see the results
Unwilling to figure out a sensible budget, their incompetence triggers automatic cuts… Next up Debt CeilingIf you are between 100% & 125% of poverty and in a state that didn’t expand Medicaid, you still get nearly free healthcare through Obamacare.
Nearly free? I’d tell you to tell that to my dad, but he passed away after getting thoroughly drained of most of his savings thanks to his “nearly free” health care while dying of cancer.
Okay, here’s the data-- Family of 4. Male, age 30. Female, age 30. Male, age 10. Female, age 10. Saline County, Kansas. Annual household income $32,500 (just over the poverty level). The cost of health insurance is zero and the maximum out of pocket for the entire family for the full year is $4k. Click here for a screenshot.
Second scenario, same information, except the household income is $40,000 (just below 125% of poverty). Click here for a screenshot. You may notice the rates are the same!
Third scenario, same information, except the household income is $48,000 (just below 150% of poverty). Click here for a screenshot. Still very affordable!
I am sorry for your dad who died of cancer. If he had bad advice, I wish he got better advice when looking for his health insurance. The truth is, without Medicaid, most families can still get very affordable healthcare.
Moron.
Is what I said false?
Yes.
I replied to someone else, showing how I am correct. Link.
Sure you are, lmao
What is your point, exactly?
Maybe it matters to some people, but if I’m going to get affordable healthcare through Program A or Program B, I really don’t care which it is. Families that are dropped from Medicaid for being above the poverty rate will be able to get almost the exact same thing (honestly, they’ll have more options for providers) through Obamacare.
