Medicaid didn't go offline because it was too "woke."
School lunch programs weren't put at risk because of immigrants.
Funding for cancer research wasn't on the chopping block because of trans people.
All of this (and more) was jeopardized because of one person: Donald Trump.

The GOP associated groups like CNP and Heritage have been planning this takeover of government for decades
Trump is too stupid to compose a battle plan, and it's clear there has been coordination between these groups
The vast right wing conspiracy
Who exactly is pulling the strings???

The people are not going to stand for Trump catering to the rich an taking from Americans who are already struggling even with government help.
If anything had more charisma than Ted Cruz and more flexibility than Richard Spencer, it could have been elected as the Republican nominee.
These dramatic shifts in political norms are because politics has stagnated while the world moved on.
The world is sliding into populism, the smart money is making them think it's what they're voting for.
All of this happened, with more evil still to come, because millions of Americans liked Trump's disregard for others, his meanness, his abuse of women and the vulnerable, and because of the support of the Republican party and the oligarchs that run it
demagogue:
a political leader who seeks support by appealing to the desires and prejudices of ordinary people rather than by using rational argument.
a leader who makes use of popular prejudices and false claims and promises in order to gain power
Make The Guillotine Great Again
Without stepping up to safeguard the constitution, we WILL end up where "liberty" becomes nothing more than succumbing to the whims of tyrants.
You have worked at the highest levels of government, tell me.
The GOP, who is the majority in Congress can override most anything he does. When they choose to do nothing they're complicit.
Voters need to be reminded, these are not Trump's actions, these are Republican actions.
Trump is just a result of all that.
Then the GOP says: "Ok now we obviously must privatize or abolish it all!"
Here's where you go to contact your representatives and senators. Congressman ask them why they're doing such a terrible job. What bills they're working on? Why they're not representing you
A proximate truth. One degree out is Stephen Miller whispering in DT's ear. Another degree out is Project 2025 and the Heritage Foundation. Another step out is the unrestricted flow of cash from wealth-class and corporate "donations" via CU. Fees for service, actually.
It sure looks like the "American experiment" is a failure.
In total seriousness, the Republican party as an organized crime syndicate.
They're all conspiring to destroy our democratic institutions.
George Carlin: It's a big club, and my MAGA family ain't in it like they believe they are.
The Fat Controller no more runs America than you or I.
While I have disagreed with conservatism all of my life, the intelligent, logical, and well-informed young Republicans I debated in college were nothing like MAGAs!
