They want to go back to some time that they think America was great but reject the regulations and tax rates that made that time possible.

peachlady2015.bsky.social•72 days ago

They want to return to the Gilded Age and be like the robber barons. Or maybe they'd like to go back farther back to the days of serfdom/feudalism.

So he and his children can continue to commit fraud.

deirdredonovan.bsky.social•71 days ago

Their ignorance is his super power.

gtbbfan.bsky.social•72 days ago

Did they miss the housing & economy crash caused by big banks with no regulations in 2008???

mrayburn8743.bsky.social•71 days ago

They don't fear becoming a third world country. They desire it. Lots of cheap labor and all the money at the top. Any talk about fearing becoming a third world country is a lie.

These are the same people that try to paint Russia as some sort of bastion of freedom and wealth, while ignoring its rampant corruption and poverty.

beebeeks.bsky.social•71 days ago

I remember seeing a video of Moscow and all the comments were commenting on how it was only white people. 😐😐😐😐😐

There’s something about it they like.

The man is cringe worthy, I can’t believe the USA actually voted the liar in! He has never fulfilled a promise in his life!

heartlessbytchh1.bsky.social•55 days ago

Except for the promises to the Rich to cut their Taxes. 😡

steve-wood.bsky.social•54 days ago

Well, that worked out so well last time.
I'm sure they learnt their lesson: Deregulate, make loads of money, eventually fuck up, then get the taxpayer to bail you out.

1blues1.bsky.social•69 days ago

Post of the day! Totally agree!!!

Third world nations are notable for having issues with the peaceful transfer of power.

Sound familiar at all?

He doesn’t care what happens to the country as long as he can skirt accountability, grow his coffers, keep playing golf and have people applaud as he enters a room.
His own kids avoid him and his wife loathes him. They know who he is.

stacieann111.bsky.social•35 days ago

💯%

peachlady2015.bsky.social•72 days ago

This is absolutely insanity! Get rid of the FDIC so that the little people will be destitute when they crash the economy. What better way to control everyone in the country, huh?

brandon-fields.bsky.social•66 days ago

Testify.

If they had 2 brains 1 would die of loneliness.

laxmanct.bsky.social•71 days ago

Twas the republican deregulation that led to the financial crisis of 2008.

liberaloifveteran.bsky.social•62 days ago

You have to reverse it, the rich want a country like Russia where they can defraud the government for decades, at least until the government actually needs what you're not providing.

ambersoony.bsky.social•72 days ago

It is mind boggling. But those are the same people who were infectious disease experts a few years ago and are now macro economics experts and will be medical experts in a few months.

rustynyc.bsky.social•71 days ago

So it’s 2008 all over again - banks crash through greed - is this the new media narrative?

They must have really enjoyed the 08 mortgage crash.

girl1veteran.bsky.social•65 days ago

Most of his poor and middle class voters don’t know what a third world country is or looks like. They don’t even know that the ACA is Obama care.😕It’s the rich who do and they don’t care.😒 We have to start understanding the difference of who we’re talking about. This is class war fare!!!

truedoglou.bsky.social•71 days ago

Because they were the ones that got bailed out whilst countless average Americans suffered. They milked the taxpayer tit and grandparents around the country lost their retirements

rhonnie-72.bsky.social•72 days ago

Rwanda will be sending C.A.R.E. packages to Georgia and Mississippi before we know it. Doctors Without Borders will be flying in to contain epidemics. Yep, 3rd world.

joehocking.bsky.social•27 days ago

I recall seeing an article about this already happening, Doctors Without Borders flying in to I think Kentucky (or possibly Appalachia generally?) but I can't find the article, rats

rwheeler.bsky.social•27 days ago

This may be what you recall. It’s just across the state line from Kentucky, although it’s not Doctors Without Borders.

It’s because they’re not very smart and can’t connect the dots.

beauthebault.bsky.social•72 days ago

They're also easy to sneak up on

anth4democracy.bsky.social•71 days ago

So we’re doing this again?

novafinfan.bsky.social•56 days ago

In the words of my people. They ain't that smart.

firefly55.bsky.social•60 days ago

They have no idea, their News did say this.

cathyclaire.bsky.social•72 days ago

You can't argue with stupid 🙅‍♀️

steve-friedrich.bsky.social•71 days ago

BTW. They are -actually- planning to crash the US economy (God help the rest of the world) in order to destroy and replace our financial system. They want to eliminate the FDIC so that nothing gets paid out. They literally want to reneg on the national debt.

Then it's all Crypto bros, all the time!

steve-friedrich.bsky.social•71 days ago

Start moving you money to where it's possibly safer if the FDIC is abolished.

Hurry.

seleon3.bsky.social•71 days ago

gontry.bsky.social•71 days ago

We’re not laughing tho

desdemonasrocket.bsky.social•70 days ago

Well, irony died in 2016.
