Up ‘til “Trickle Down Economics,” in the U.S., all income groups’ incomes grew at the same percentage (including the very poor). Since Reagan, the average American’s income hasn’t risen even 1¢ vs inflation every year since.
Won what? Funneling benefits and income from the middle class to the wealthiest sliver of the world’s elite? “Won” is not the right word. Decimated? Slaughtered? Eviscerated? Perhaps.
I believe Truth in Reporting was also tossed during the Reagan administration. Opening the door for Murdoch and his bullshit machine. Funny how Murdoch wasn’t from here either.
Sadly, my grandson helped this tragedy happen. It breaks my heart to know he is a part of what will go down in history as the destruction of a country by its own people.
We're worse, we had all this information and the majority of Americans sat on their thumbs and 77M voted for Hitler 2.0.
Or they cheated, take your pick.
They will ask if and only if we survive the Sixth Extinction Event. I realize people are focused on politics in America, but if you don't look at the destruction that's happening worldwide due to global warming, you're fast and deeply asleep. It's going to get messy one way or the other.
This is why it's extremely important that we fight back against Donald Trump and his climate change issues. Climate change is real and it's happening. But they would rather fill their pockets up with more and more money than take care of this planet. Their deaths are on their own hands.
Why is it ok for celebrities and all millionaires to scold us about climate change all while they fly around the world in their private jets? Stop blaming Trump and start blaming every single person that is telling us how to live and living the exact opposite! Enough is enough with the bullshit!
I agree and I’m blaming everyone that lives like a celebrity. They are the first to judge others and claim to help. The entire time they are creating more carbon waste than all of us so called normal humans. They use thousands of times more CO2 than the average person.
Exactly. As a conservationist I cannot agree with the way this planet has been polluted and the CO2 emissions. When we destroy our planet, We hurt the animals. And I will never get behind that.
And on that point you’d be right. Very sad that so many are looking at party and politics when it comes to climate change. It’s time to look at everyone telling us how to live while they destroy the planet and think they are above everyone because they are famous. I find it sickening.
This is why more people need to embrace centrism. I'm very disillusioned with a two-party system and I'm tired of people in the left and right villianizing each other. And we need to start holding famous people accountable no matter who they are
Our leaders and our system failed. The Democratic establishment rolled over and pretended this election was clean and fair. There was no request for a recount in swing states. Nothing. And here we sit tapping keyboards at 3AM instead of flooding the streets.
And we will answer that education had so dumbed down America that a third of it was stupid or cruel enough to vote for a piece of shit, criminal fascist rapist traitor.
We've been asking our grandparents that for years at this point. Worse, whenever we try to change it they just say no and live another decade sleeping through sessions of Congress
When narcissism runs amok, you get two starkly polar visions of “other” and it drives severely ill informed decision driven by tribalism. This is why tribalism is dumb.
…sad to say…no they wont…
… they won’t have had the experience of normalcy and they will not have any critical thinking skills due to the continual cutbacks in education..
… they’ll just think that their nasty little truncated lives are how it is & how it should be…
and we will tell them. Stealth republicans in jesus poses killing our chance to save ourselves by limiting all fighting against nazis and facsists to shame and waiting for them to self-destruct
and hopefully prevent pelosi's idiot daughter from continuing the same OLD grift
Not having any of my own is the best decision I’ve ever made but if by “our grandkids” we mean “future generations”, I just hope the country/world they will grow up in will be such that they actually ask those questions.
That’s what happened after Germany’s defeat. Too late for 6 million Jews, homosexuals and ppl with disabilities. We should learn from history’s biggest mistakes and tragedies.
That’s part of the problem. Focusing on Holocaust as being the only time humans went down this path. Reality is, hundreds if not thousands of examples throughout history have not been acknowledged. It’s not abnormal, and it is not always obvious, and that’s why we have to be vigilant.
Well, I can tell my grandkids I did everything in my power to prevent it. I knocked on doors, I donated $$ until it hurt, I wrote postcards, I put signs in my yard.
VERY SIMPLE....CITIZENS UNITED MADE MONEY SPEECH AND THE FASCIST OLIGARCHY BOUGHT OUR GOVERNMENT TO MAKE SLAVES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FOR PROFIT AT ALL COST. THEY FOOLED FOOLS TO SELL THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS FOR LIES.
Democratic leaders must stop bringing pillows to a knife fight. Use the tools available to protect the American people from the Trump-Musk MAGA fascists. Voting, donating, volunteering, peacefully protesting has not worked. Sign the petition.

You are 💯 🎯🎯🎯. The reason democrats do that is because of the corrupt corporate Democrats enable republicans to fuckkk over the people who vote for them. Democrats need to out the corruption in their own party before they can lead again. The people see the pay to play game now.
I have let go at the thought of being a grandparent. The sad thing is my children are adamant they never want to be parents given the current state of our world (my kids are in their twenties).
first of all: how many kids do you have?
first kids, than grandkids.
Regarding migration, I will ecplain my grandkids ( act.4) it was MERKEL and the "Specialists of 2015".
Regardin low industry, i will explain them lazy Paschas from GenZ not willing to work
I agree. It's like asking: "How can you let history happen?" There are cycles to everything, and each event is inexplicably linked to what came before it. Sometimes, we can sense what's coming, but we can never truly see it until it arrives. Also, this too shall pass... .
I have to disagree,
Apathy, way too much apathy.
And it's only getting worse
People don't have a clue what's going on in our government
Next time you get a chance, ask the person next to you who their representative is
I'll bet they don't have a clue.
I am asking myself how America could allow this to happen after the tantrum on January 6th. This creep should not be walking around as free man in this country.
When tech companies started moving jobs to China, did anyone complain? The first effect was that fewer students applied to engineering programs in the US
By accepting a fraudulent election, first of all, and not fighting for a new one. One we know he can't cheat in, one we know all votes will be counted, one we can TRUST the results and continue w/ democracy. If we don't, we will never get another one.
Half of us fought like hell to prevent it from happening. Half of us plus a few more fought like hell to help it happen. And about 15 key people in power defied their oath, their duty, and our laws, and made it happen.
Not stopping fElon is how this happened. He used the Xithole to indoctrinate magats and prime them to cause fear. Then made bots from them and used every tactic possible to harm democrats.
Sociologically, it's akin to putting toxins in dem water. All over the world.
Citizens United.
Corruption in the judiciary through a politicized and captured selection process.
Repeal of fairness doctorine.
K- Street
Republican supported oligarchy.
Are you suggesting dems are profiting from this new, pathetically obvious grotesque oligarchy made up of corrupt tech losers who clearly don't want to pay their fair share?
Easy, we didn't learn our history, ignored centuries of political wisdom, lost our national identity as e pluribus unum, and did not heed the founders many warnings to jealously guard our liberty against foes foreign, and especially, domestic. Teach your children well! GWashington's farewell address
Here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up. Go back to bed, America. Here is American Gladiators. Here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together ..... America! You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!
She wasn't a perfect candidate by any means but I highly think she's still better than someone who has 34 felonies. You really want that person to be the face of law and order for you
Unless we have a renaissance in printed textbooks, w/ accountable authors and references, our grandchildren are going to be issued an AI at birth to guide them thru their functions in a corporation.

Trump should have never been an option.
but I don't have any grandkids to tell that to
Or they cheated, take your pick.
The people who were duty bound under oath to protect the people of the United States did.
mcconnell didn’t hold him to account. Goresich didn’t hold him to account. The gop didn’t hold him to account. scotus gave him a free pass.
Not “we”.
putin affected the outcome.
It's called voting against your own interests.
… they won’t have had the experience of normalcy and they will not have any critical thinking skills due to the continual cutbacks in education..
… they’ll just think that their nasty little truncated lives are how it is & how it should be…
The more critical thinkers in this country the better.
1/3 of voters have done everything we could. Voted blue top to bottom, shared information, corrected disinformation, joined, registered, donated.
Who let it happen:
- SCOTUS
- 1/3 voters - brainwashed
- 1/3 voters - 3rd party or didn't vote
- GOP/Putin
Not 'we'.
I didn't, but enough did.
I fear for the wellbeing of all of us.
and hopefully prevent pelosi's idiot daughter from continuing the same OLD grift

Assuming we're around to have grandkids.
Indeed . . .

Because Democrats are a bunch of untrustworthy, suck-ass pussies.
Merrick Garland served at the pleasure of the president.
The buck stops there.

I'm not having grandkids.
Correct!
