We’ll die.. But not before taking those that stole our future with us.. And ironically.. there’s free healthcare, dental, vision and food in prison. So, there is that.
I heard some republican magats speak tonight. They spoke of the burden of things and themselves and their right and the billionaires right to limited taxes. We have seriously done that generation wrong. All the fucking school shootings. Hustling to stay in the game. Killed their empathy.
That wasn't it... Their parent's success is the culprit. They grew up with too much and expected even more and they sympathize with billionaires because they think they should be billionaires. As soon as they can afford a $150k big f'n p/u Truck, they blame anyone who can't, for their shortcomings.
Maybe both things can be blamed? Along with a wholly individualized culture supported rather successfully through neoliberalism, and the idea you can buy community, and your only worth is what you can hustle or trick your way to?
Rely on their adult children to take care of them. Our household has already had this discussion. The thought of an 81 yo woman and her bedridden daughter on the street, begging for the things they need is a non-starter.
The number of people who have no family to rely on is astronomical. My mother has dementia and I am disabled. We don't have any family to help us. We will be on the streets begging.
Vote every Republican out of office in every rave then get control of House & Senate by huge margins then impeach Trump, Vance & Speaker. Then hold new elections
3.5% of the population or 11.9 million. If a minimum of 11.9 people peacefully protest simultaneously coast to coast we can effect change. Protests have changed governments causing PMs/Presidents to resign. Serbia ousted their PM with protests just this past January.
Elon wants to see the old die off quickly. They don’t bring anything new or substantial to the world. He only wants high IQ, young people. Preferably male (he test tubed all his kids, picked the smartest, and all males). Sound familiar - the great race, hint- 1930s Germany.
I'm just pointing out that starting at the White House is probably the wrong place.
That would only inject a small glitch into the GOP's war on the U.S. There are no brains in the White House; only marketing. The marketing would collapse if one of the major organs of the monster were excised.
I will be trying to get together a class action or civil lawsuit against the government that has stolen my money. There will be 50 million other people doing the same thing if they have half a brain. But I'm not going to lay down and let this fucked up country screw me over some more
They will finally demand the Republicans stand up to Trump and Musk! They will stop this madness!we need a massive unified response to this takeover!The worst is yet to come! People don’t realize the ripple effect of these cuts! A shutdown was done in the 1990’s! We the People won!
I’m on disability. I will literally die, as I’m dependent on medications to keep me alive. So I’m preparing for this scenario, as I won’t be able to afford anything, let alone my medications. Prepaid my cremation and purchased a burial plot.
I have a dear friend on disability too. She has a young son and luckily a partner who works full time but she relies on that money and it is sickening that it is even being threatened. Prayers to you that we get through this soon!
I'll be honest, I wasn't really aware of it myself, and I'm 65! I think this knowledge might light a fire under some younger people who didn't think they really had any stake in Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid being axed.
Eat cat food like they used to do? Get thrown out of nursing homes. Increase homeless shelters? Maybe put up new ones just for this? Lose houses that still have taxes even if paid for? Lose meds bc no co pay $…….
Don't underestimate the Trump Regime's determination, and remember, Trump has SCOTUS backing his play, Congress has been castrated, the DOJ and Military under his control...
Think I'm crazy, research Trump and Musk's Russia ties...
Vlad wants America crippled & Trump/Musk are doing his bidding!
Roughly 35 million of them will go crying to their orange messiah and blame Biden. Boomers wanted Trump, and they got him. The other 35 million have my sympathies.
Exactly, we also wonder why, if fraud has been found, they haven’t cancelled those payments and be done. There should be no disruption to the rest. It will be fatal and tragic should Congress allow this to continue
Congress needs to be a target. They all don't have secret service. They need to commute eventually. And we can find out where they live. They are spineless, so if some of the flock is thinned, the rest of the herd will retreat.
There has to be mass protests at every Republican-held city Hall, Congress person's office, and state capitol building. Massive crowds are needed. I think when people lose their money, that is when they get out and react!
WHEN SENIORS DON'T GET SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK WHAT WILL HAPPEN CONGRESSMAN WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TOWN HALL BECAUSE THEY WILL BE GOING TO THEIR HOMES PROBABLY WITH TORCHES!!!
This should be happening already. Look at what they are doing to our country. We shouldn't wait until it personally affects us. What a selfish waste most humans are.
Good thing they're not armed to the teeth. Another good thing is that a few million aren't trained in the the use of the guns they don't have. Musk thinks he's got a target on his back now. Just wait.
Throw in the Veterans losing their benefits also and 401ks are taking a big hit also. I can tell some of these reps. and senators better head to Mar-a-Lago with the orange butt wipe because they are not welcome at home.
Until they get an infected cut and have no way of getting healthcare. Yet to see any of the affected people do anything more than post of social media. Will believe it when Americans can show a spine.
I'm Australian and when you needed our help I spent 8 months in Afghanistan fighting beside your soldiers. Before that I was a avid protestor and now I'm out of the army I'm still physically active in Australian politics and protests.
So yeah, I show up in person to talk to our politicians.
For instance. The senate had an opportunity to stop tRump tarifs from destroying the economy. Democrats (ONES NOT IN POWER) are for it. And do you know what the Republican Senate did. They seeded their authority to stop it.
SO YOU CAN TALK TO THEM ALL YOU WILL. it changes nothing
Again. "What can be done THAT WILL CHANGE WHAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS DOING"
protesting, bitching & whining. IS NOT CHANGING ANYTHING. That's nice that you stroke your own ego as if it's a show of BIG KAHUNAS. But it's literally as good as DOING NOTHING. it has the same effect 🤷
A lot of them have guns. This is the United States. Not sure what those DOGEbags are thinking. The thing about older people is they're all outta f--ks to give.
Unfortunately the younger generations have been told for years that SS is running out and they won’t get it. They have no idea that it has been used as a slush fund that was supposed to be paid back - but hasn’t.
many starve and die.. except some of us... we'll go down fighting... we need to start planning the logistics to transport, feed and shelter the millions of people who would go to Washington if they had the resources..
They will sign up for Social Security Advantage to go along with their Medicare Advantage plan; surrendering their savings to a for-profit brokerage house, who will steal them blind in fees and crush their accounts.
Just a suggestion, but IF that happens, seniors need to march on the White House, Mar-a-Lago and other Trump properties and continually leave those areas filled with used Depends, incontinence pads, etc. That's one way to get their point across.
The median age of a prime-time viewer was 68 as of 2015. A 2019 Pew Research Center survey showed that among those who named Fox News as their main source for political news, 69% are aged 50 or older
Never forget, the Nazi’s killed the disabled first, and experimented on others. They sent the old and young to the gas chamber because they couldn’t work.
Trump and Elon live for those values, it’s who they are. We can only hope those losing their benefits will have family or friends to lean on.
Me, I live next door to an elderly man. His only sister lives in Colorado . I already let him know, he will not go hungry. The neighbors and I have talked and we banded together. We four neighbors are committed to not letting him starve. I hope his sis steps up for his electric bill and phone. 
The Nazi leadership called the helpless and vulnerable "feeders".
I completely agree with you and was pointing out their inhumanity, exemplified by their language. It is their lack of empathy that should get them booted from society
Or dead, or both. People can't afford to fully take care of themselves, let alone the prospect of trying to house their aging family. It turns into one person needing the income of at least 4 extremely quickly while being physically available to help them with daily tasks.
I'm sure most seniors will agree... If he's puts toe tags on us prematurely, we will have nothing to lose by visiting him & and his. We will haunt & torment every rump supporter until our last breath!
Some will die because that is all they have, some will be lucky they have family to take them in. All I know is that 40.2% of seniors in the USA only have social security. That is a lot of dead seniors. Not to mention the nursing homes kicking everyone out and the mental institutions.
Yep! HUD Senior Housing Subsidies have been cut too, so there's gonna be a whole lot of homeless seniors who won't have access to health care or life saving prescription meds.
First they will panic because when they planned their retirement it included SS!
Some who are very ill won’t live long!
Some might take the easy way out!
Luigi showed it’s not how many you kill, it’s who you kill. 500 million+ firearms on the street—take away grandma, grandpa’s and others financial security and it will be open season. Republicans need to stop The Lunacy before Musk,Trump and lawmakers find themselves running like sprayed cockroaches.
Ride with the resistance. When you’ve lost everything, there’s nothing left to lose. If we get arrested, we will have a bed and food, however foul that may be. Beats dying of starvation and exposure in the streets.
I've been saying the same thing. If they take away my disability check, I will take my last few dollars to go to camp out at the WH. I've got nothing to lose. If we are all in jail, they will have to feed us and pay for our medical needs.
There won’t be jails. There will be “camps” and you’ll be fed just enough to stay alive and work and when you can’t do that you’ll be put to sleep. It’s ugly and horrifying and myself and mother will be there with you.
I'm not a senior, but I'm disabled and get SS. I will lose everything. I have no family that can help. I can't work. Even if I could, no one would hire me due to my disability. I'm screwed.
As of 2024, 30 U.S. states have filial responsibility laws that obligate adult children to support their parents financially if the parents are unable to support themselves. These laws vary significantly by state, with some requiring support for basic needs
Here is Google’s AI response (no guarantees):
AI Overview
Filial responsibility laws, which can hold adult children responsible for their parents' financial needs, exist in states like Alaska, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.
Beg in the streets like they do in Mexico. And trust me, it is the most saddest, heart wrenching thing you will ever see. I still dream about it. Now imagine your parents, grandparents doing it. That is where we are heading.
And it shouldn’t be that way. It seems like every single time we get a Republican president SS is threatened and it absolutely shouldn’t be. It’s because they didn’t think of it themselves (they can’t take credit for it - and I guess they like seeing their parents/grandparents beg in the street).
You're right. This is the crux of it. Nobody can live comfortably never knowing if the regular income we depend on will show up or not. We can't plan anything, we fear spending, we worry we'll lose everything. This is a fucking nightmare ALL caused by Trump, dipshit Elon and chickenshit Congress.
@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social points out that each call is logged along with notes about the call. No Congress people will ignore calls from constituents, especially if there are thousands of them.
Congressional constituent hotline is not working. Instead of us getting to announce which member we're calling for, goes straight to recorded music, then a live operator admits it's having issues and has to manually connect you.
Taking everything from people who’ll have nothing else to lose but their extreme outrage, are all armed to the teeth. Doesn’t seem like they’re just going to sit back and take it and that’s going to be a big problem 😳
Tear this joint up is what we’re gonna do. No congressperson or senator will sleep peacefully again. If the government needs more money, tax the billionaires you morons. Stop this nonsense.
Easier said than done. 78+ yrs old, multiple physical disabilities (respiratory, heart, cancer history, diabetes etc). I spent my life as an activist from around 1959 thru 2017. Hard time breathing/walking.
Gun owners.
Wierd, my arthritis can pull a trigger but I can't get into my product tamper proof prescriptions. I can do firing squad duty as a preference of alternative outcomes.
The ones that can I hope will flood the streets of DC. Veterans too. They know how to fight. I'm waiting for we're mad as hell and we're not gonna take it anymore.
Americans now have a choice. Do you support and fight for your most vulnerable when your country has betrayed them? Or do you betray them even more, and leave them to die? What's it gonna be landlords?

So, I guess wait and see. I will die with nowhere to live, but I won't go quietly!
Regardless even if you were in the streets protesting THAT CHANGES NOTHING the tRump admin. clearly don't care what we think.
So please tell us. What do you suggest can be done that will actually change what they do ??
So yeah, I show up in person to talk to our politicians.

And sorry. But I've broken my neck twice at this point in life. And Im not pointlessly talking to people if it's not gonna change anything
Younger generations need to realize though, it's not just the current Veterans and Seniors that will be hurt.
They will Not Have any Social Safety Nets when they get old, or disabled, or lose their job!
Realize that when they voted for Trump they fucked themselves?

They did then and are doing it today. It’s who they are Elon and the 🍊💩
