That the Democratic Party became “tax and spend” without ever acknowledging what the rightwing was doing … destroying the future generations by their no taxation for anyone but the poorest and borrowing enormous sums to give to the wealthiest

We’re being conditioned to expect less. Home ownership will eventually become a generational thing handed down within families. Boomer > Millennial > Alpha in a lot of these small places, much like apartments in big cities. Everyone else gets to rent.

Then I realize it’s Democrats taking care of Trumpers who are destroying democracy for all of us, and I’m ready to say screw them.

But they’ll never connect the dots, and there are children involved.

"We don't message well" has been beat to death. In fact, that's a gross understatement. We're awful at it. Beyond terrible. "Well, message better!" we say. Not that easy as we've completely lost how all that works.

All Repuke propaganda is built upon a basic foundation, pounded into American brains since Reagan, until it became accepted public perception.

"Dems want to waste your hard earned tax dollars on people who don't deserve it." "Dems don't give a shit about you. They just care about (insert minority caricature.)"

It really is that simple. Simple because we're dealing with simple, distracted minds. Repukes understand that formula. We don't. But we damn sure better figure it out. Political speech IS propaganda. Always has been. The masses cannot grasp the complexities of government in the modern world. Stop acting like they can.

Take a page from their playbook. A couple chapters even. Their fuck ups give us ample opportunity to make it stick in public perception. If we'd only do it! A concerted, organized, consistent effort! At least we have the comfort of knowing it's based on truth and not a bunch of lies.

Do to them what they've done to us and maybe conservative will become a pejorative like liberal has.

She got hers, just like someone i know got their Obamacare-provided heart treatment.
I’ve been cheerfully paying millions in taxes over the years so that people with less opportunity or worse environments had a chance to see a doctor, be housed, be schooled, etc.

Every time I look at NextDoor for my old poor Florida neighborhood, i get nausea. The only thing deep on there (besides the syrup of puppies and sunsets, which are fine) is constant hate.

The days of government helping anyone buy a house are long gone. This government is more interested in making sure that owners of giant rental companies (and affiliated REITs and developers) can keep increasing rents in synchrony; using AI as an unregulated tool to facilitate price collusion.

Good luck, Heather Colleys of the future.

A few will break away.
The many will love it and demand more.

Just a quick pull on those bootstraps, and their housing difficulties will disappear.

a blue state until the Republican LIES convinced people to hate democrats and ignore the fact that Democrats gave them Social Security ,Medicare and Medicaid and housing and lots of other things and protected those things from Republican cuts and complete doing away with those things all these years. Democrats will suffer for a while also but the hurt might be worth these people finding out the truth about Republicans real intentions in their political world. I can't wait until like before that it will be a 40 year stretch before Republicans can gain control of the house again and it will be something long overdue .
