Joyce Vance wrote the other day
To the people who voted for cheaper eggs and got a coup.
To the people whose Medicare coverage is in jeopardy.
To the people who think Palestinians and Israelis deserve our support negotiating a settlement that lets that war torn region try to move forward with dignity, not as another real estate deal that benefits the Trump Organization.
To those who are worried that Elon Musk's best interests aren't the American people's best interests.
To federal employees who voted for Trump and are now threatened with losing their jobs.
To people who think cutting USAID will make volatile regions of the world more dangerous and lead to human tragedies, and not coincidentally, more illegal immigration as people flee danger.
To the people who are shocked that funding to conservative religious groups that do good works at home and abroad is on the chopping block.
To people who believe in public education and public health and worry about a future where they are privatized for profit.
Welcome to the fight.

Really annoying to have old friends more interested in listening to random AI-driven conspiracy videos and breathless fake news than in asking themselves whether their friends or family might be trying to tell them the actual truth.
I mean, Ive been semi-supporting an old friend for 4 years now, but she is just convinced to believe in a lot of pseudoscience and fear-mongering. Not a trumper by any means, but swayed into absorbing thousands of hours of you-tube b.s. that exists in the no-mans land of vaccine rejection, both-sides-ism, survivalism, and fear, 24x7 fear.
It never bothered her that these snake oil salesmen were picking her empty-pockets while putting a wedge between her and I.

(13,268 posts)Think about that next Christmas as they're innocently opening their gifts, unaware of how the adults have mindlessly given away 225 years of hard fought societal growth to the absolute control of a sociopathic felon and a megalomaniac.
An appropriate gift would be a book selection: 1984, Fahrenheit 451, Brave New World, The Handmaid's Tale, and any book by Robert Heinlein. To give them a gift which describes Felon47's thinking, try the Green Eggs and Ham coloring book.

(2,937 posts)I give it till some time in summer, when all the people who harvested crops are in cages and so produce aisles are either empty or full of $10 oranges and $15 bags of cherries. After several more airline issues. When Medicare and SS are in grave danger, or gone. Its going to get far, far worse than it is now before it starts getting better. Remember also that they are not being told about the firings or the financial stuffFOX and their other propaganda sources will not be sharing those things. They have to experience things themselves.

(2,874 posts)with you on this one. They are celebrating in reality. This fantasy about them hiding in their bedroom crying is just that, fantasy.
The deportation of illegals and cutting spending waste were top items on Trumps campaign, and they are quite happy to be getting it.
So far there have been no cuts to direct benefits, and I predict hat there will not be any. I've seen a lot of damning stuff posted online, but when I look into details, they have all turned out to be bullshit so far. there is a whole lot of lying and theater going on right now from both sides of this.

The ones that I encounter online, assuming that theyre really people, say that Trump is doing exactly what they wanted him to do and shouldnt we all love the fact that Elon Musk is getting rid of all the waste and corruption! There is absolutely no reasoning with them. Of course Musk has security clearance. My head is exploding.
radius777
(3,921 posts)they are fine with it, even it ultimately their own voters are also hurt by it. The RW Maga base is beyond reach - it's the center of the road voters who will be appalled by all of this, who thought they were going to get something that was more like Trump 1.0, where he talked alot of shit but was for the most part constrained by establishment Repubicans. This time is full blown Maga, and it's going to be ugly.

(74 posts)MAGA simply have not been hit with Trump's policies yet. When he hits the ACA medical insurance, VA benefits, Medicaid, SSA, student loans, etc, they will start feeling the pain. Of course, the economy will be tanking. So yea they are giddy now, but that will change. They will find out how much they actually rely on the federal government.
radius777
(3,921 posts)and it's just a matter of time before the Magat gov's in red states start doing this same thing - then lots of state and local workers would also be out of a job.
Trump is dumb and vengeful, and he's going to break the system in a way that's going to hurt most regular people, including Magats, who probably will still support him to the end. Remember there were anti-vaxxers who took their last breath still believing that Covid was a hoax. It's a cult, and there's nothing we can do to change them. Convincing the more moderate R voters and independents is the only hope.
