Utterly destroying any capacity of the state to help people so that it can be reduced to a military and and border cops to guard the wealth of oligarchs

People have no idea what living under this kind of rule is like, mostly because nobody travels anywhere. Beyond the obvious, you can’t drive down the street without being stopped by criminal gangs demanding money that will be kicked back to oligarchs. Police are not for you - they are for them.
So @markwarner.bsky.social, can you not see why we need you to stop voting for ANY Trump appoinees and to delay every vote that comes up? Can you not see that we are in an emergency and we need serious and unusual measures now to stop it before they irreparably destroy the US government?
at least untill said military/border cops is oveerun by people with nothing to lose, probably with a ´´bit´´ of help from an hundred or so of countries all around the world
Years ago in SE Asia I was surprised that well-off people there weren't willing to expend comparatively trivial sums to make the world outside their walled compounds better (e.g., money for the poor, trash collection, functional infrastructure, etc.) I guess our uber-rich are just as short sighted.
how long will it take for people to notice that their taxes are the same and yet they get no services in return? Kinda like an involuntary donation (to Trump and his oligarchs)
We just got the taxpayer assistance centers back on a regular schedule. people need those! sometimes you need to go in person to drop off a special return! or get help with a notice! screaming into a void!
The Social Security thing is befuddling. What does it accomplish? These morons have no idea about the shitstorm that will hit them and every MAGA elected if they do this. People will go apeshit. The GOP will be wiped from the face of the Earth. Musk has no clue. This will be hardcore FAFO.
Indirect eugenics. Not kidding. They already went this direction with COVID. And no, they don't care that it will affect their own voters because we won't have real elections anymore.
Most of the infuriated folks attending town halls are seniors. They're pissed in a general way at the Musk clusterfuck, but this is about them, personally. MAGA electeds won't be able to leave their house w/o security. Trump is sacrificing his party to advance an end-game that won't require Congress
Huh, I have to pay into the federal government this year again, so I guess I’ll have to wait to cut the check. April 15th my ass. I’ll send it when I’m god damn ready
90% staff cuts at EEOC hit closest to home for me.
My state agency is already overwhelmed.
I depend on these agencies to help me investigate cases; without them I am forced to file lawsuits with a lot less information and less opportunity to settle before suing.
that means that there are now close to zero guard-rails put in place by the New Deal to stymie people's attraction to the left. if this dogshit government can't even keep you housed, watch your food quality, or give your cousin a job, what use are they?
I predict that by June millions of Americans—many of them Republicans who voted for Trump—will not get their Social Security checks by the scheduled date.
One question I have is whether that will impel our legacy news media orgs to start covering Trump as the eminent danger he is, or are they too rotted and diseased and degenerate for that to happen now. I’m not optimistic.
No, but just like in Russia they will write "dear Trump" letters in the belief that of course Trump doesn't want them to starve, but he must just not be aware that "patriotic Americans" are suffering.
wonder if said anything would include being linched by more than twice the population of russia, withouth the general winter to give them suppost against the population
It's one thing to ask soldiers to take action against anarchists setting fire to storefronts. It will be a whole other thing to expect them to take action against angry retirees and their caregivers when they aren't getting their social security checks and are forced onto the streets.

The Constitution, as written, is not part of their ideal 🇺🇸
It's a Govt by the people
So they turned it into an object to hate (Thanks, Reagan)
Being ruled by others is not an option.
Black Panthers getting guns & J6 pardons are textbook cases.
They think this is their big chance. I think they may be a bit too early to secure victory, but we will find out!

This will mean more litigation.
They’ll also be putting Americans with the wrong political views in work camps and re-education centers.
