If folks cared so much about SS and the ACA...maybe they should have voted for Harris/Walz. Trump said promises made promises kept!!! Might be too late!! You Must #Resist!!
is unbelievable 🙏 the cut will strack the old age people with their own deserved money and the richest people in America not ! A 50 % OF Americans or more have NO brains 🙏🤣
The primarily old voters that put him in office are experiencing FAFO. Shame they don't know what that is, so I'll translate for you folks over 55:
You were warned, you asked for it anyway, now you're gonna get it.
To the folks UNDER 55:
You've got 2 years to get your ass together and actually vote!
I read in an article awhile back that roughly fifty percent of Americans in their fifties have no retirement plans other than SS. If this is true then SS has become critical.
And the reason for that lack of savings:
1) Soaring cost of living
2) Wage stagnation
3) MULTIPLE bail outs given to gargantuan corporations and banks, using taxpayer moneys
4) Repeated recessionary cycles that end with *the rich* getting *richer* and the middle class getting *poorer.*
5) Complete lack of proper taxation of the rich
6) NO real "safety net' programs for the populace
All of this because...
7) Too many vote against their own best interests, their children's best interests, the elderly's best interests, and the well being of *all* Americans.
Outlaw grannies are sexy. Seriously 😳 but then again I'm an outlaw Grandpa. This country is composed of refugees. Think about that hard people. In way even the natives are.
Often a refugee is an outlaw in former country. Especially when they don't agree with their government. Food for thought. ✌️🤔
Stop income tax returns.
If it's legal for Trump then it's legal for everyone.
Don't pay taxes.
You are legally able to refer to a law if you know a certain person doesnt pay their taxes.
Absolutely, we must save and protect our money. We paid deductables into the government funding for future dividends. Social Security is not an Entitlement, it is our retirement Money!
Me thinks it's going to be a gigantic, "WE TOLD YA SO" for quite a few years!
By the way, where are the calls from Democrats to condemn Jared Moskowitz, the new Joe Manchin? Moskowitz is another one of those DINO's who has sided with the GOP many times in the past. He is one of the largest recipients of AIPAC funding. Now joining the Musk caucus. The silence is deafening.
NO Democrats should be begging for a spot on any caucus Musk is setting up. This is what Republicans want, for Democrats to legitimize cuts to SNAP and Social Security.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) should be thrown out of the party. But he won't, he will be protected by the establishment.
I could be retired, but I'm waiting to see what happens. I'm mostly worried about Medicare as I was in a lower government job, and they make you put in to the State system as well... thank God.
It is NOT a f…ing entitlement when you paid for it! If you raise what you collect by 1% from the employer, and you keep politicians from touching the fund, we will be fine!
The time has come for the Democratic orgs to come together and join their strengths. Then divide the tasks needing to be achieved for 26,28.

I’m feeling salty about things right now. Some of us tried to prevent this from even being a possibility by voting in the best interests of everyone. Sadly the folks who voted for Emperor Cheetoh will still make excuses for him even as he is actively working against their best interests.
Don't worry, DT& EM & P2025 had made sure you never have to vote again. So, it doesn't matter what they do now. They will screw us all. You can bet on it
It’s half my income. I would become homeless. I just cannot believe that they would even think about this. I don’t even wanna read about it. My life would be over.
I would hope there would be riots in the streets if that were to happen because it basically means our government only cares about millionaires and billionaires.
Well I'd hate to be the one to confirm that fact but they literally only care about the rich because that is what affects them personally. The only reason the rest of us get anything is because they need workers to pay taxes & people to fight in the military. The end.
Caring *only* for the millionaires and billionaires IS the soon-to-be-blatantly-obvious sole purpose of Trump's incoming "administration."
So yeah...get ready to FIGHT.
It’s my husband‘s only source of income. Thank God, I have a pension or we would not be able to make it. This is so frightening to me. I keep thinking that it cannot happen. They would destroy so many people‘s lives, actually destroy the country.
Without social security and Medicare everyone in a nursing home would die. It would also kill the industry. I don’t believe this is a plan the #GOP thought out? IJS
If they try to do that, I guess we'll maybe have to show up at the WH. They stole this election. We have to audit this election. I'm so disappointed in this country.
That box hasn't been effectively "locked," because Republicans have repeatedly raided it for their wars...*this* is why the funds are short. Congress is *not* putting back what they've taken...
Thank you for this reply! It caused me to go rooting around for corroboration, and... I stand (or, in this case, sit at my desk) corrected. Found this on The Motley Fool. It offered a pretty comprehensive explanation.
I just saw him walking towards Prince William like he owns the room. I am certain Prince William thinks he is an ass and must suffer through it. What an EMBARRASSMENT for the USA.
I just got banned from a conservative political forum. I will tell you the same as I told them....most of the powerful political figures are batting for the super rich...not you. There is no sense reserving so much hate for Trump, Biden, or Harris, or so many more. Its us vs. the super rich.
Hmmm....I did not say that was "why" I got banned, did I? No, I told the moderators they were incompetent...because they are incompetent. They took the fact as an attack....because they are incompetent.
Trump lied again. Why are we surprised? We must resist. It will take a majority of Americans to be vocal to resist these changes. Why steal from seniors? This is deplorable.
Too bad so many ignorant old assholes from my generation voted for those sons of bitches. Never underestimate the power of weaponized racism to get people to fuck themselves over.
Democrats are not saying, we need to make cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. That would be Republicans. They've been repeating that for over 40 years.
I'm tired of hearing that both parties are to blame, for this or that. You brought up Social Security, and I say your wrong to include Democrats regarding your concerns that the will fail to protect SS.
That’s the same way I feel about the constitution. A fancy piece of prose sure, but it doesn’t apply to ordinary citizens. It was all a hoax to begin with.
Musk wants Soc Sec eliminated so he no longer must match 100% employee contribution.
By removing or eliminating Soc Sec, corporations will realize enormous profits, stock will soar, making the top 1% wealthier, and bottom 98% of US working class poorer.
Trump was supposed to drive by my subdivision in Aspen. My neighbor and I painted a sheet to hold up as his ridiculous 50 car caravan drove by to welcome him. To this day, it still says Fuck Trump in front of my driveway. BTW, he FLEW overhead instead in Epstein's plane!! Fuckturd.
I have enough energy for all of them ! I know someone who traveled with that Russian tool around the country to get people to vote for her ! Saw he’s looking for a job now ! Eff them !
Ah, you're one of THOSE people. It's a shame the spelling seems to be such a problem. REPUBLICANS is how you spell it. Actually, both parties would benefit for more self-reflection. Dems need to realize that they are playing checkers and republicans are playing the long game and they've almost won.
Republican me ended up voting for Kamala (coronated by George Clooney). Kinda throws a wrench in your amazing theory.
The only game being played is against us - the people. Stop for a moment and looking around. Repub and dem are mocking the dead CEO. There more we all share in common.
I’m not a republican and have never voted for a republican. The democrats lost this fair and square and the reason is they have abandoned the working class. Bernie was our last hope and they chose to sand bag him twice. They lost to Trump twice now. They need to blame themselves not the voters.
Now, the rest of us, regardless of party, have to figure out a way to stop the theocracy from taking root and the US becoming the next Syria. But, thanks for playing along.
Depends entirely on the state they live in. I’m from Massachusetts and I voted De La Cruz because I’m a socialist and so is she. My vote here doesn’t matter. If I lived in a red or swing state I’d probably have voted Harris. I will always support a socialist over a democrat because anti capitalist
Sadly, you're always going to waste your vote...at least in our lifetimes. I also don't believe that straight-up socialism will work. Historically, it's not been a great thing. There has to be a hybrid of socialism and something else and I'm not smart enough to know what that something else might be
Has there ever been a socialist nation that the u tied states hasn’t interfered with? I recommend reading the Jakarta Method. You seem to think we can “go back to normal” the old normal got us trump. Time to dismantle it all and rebuild.
"back to normal" is all I know. I'm 60 & have lived this normal my whole life. I agree that it's time to dismantle and rebuild and not just the government...education needs to be demolished & redesigned. We're still using the same model from when we were teaching kids to be obedient factory workers
Trump isn't the treat to SS, the politicians who stole money from the SS to pay for play are. The leaders in stealing from SS are the democrats. Be honest.
What exactly are they going to do to Social Security. Look, I am not happy he got elected, but there are 1000 things to worry about and I don't think this is one of those things. The Social Security "trust fund" has become a myth anyway.
How? If he runs our government unleashed? I have some ideas, but they aren't logical. More fantasy. My mom used to say, "Wake up and smell the coffee burning." The house is already burning now so...
If Musk spent $21M a DAY for the 40 odd years he has left on this planet he’d never run out of $. But sure, cut grandma’s $60/day from Social Security.
if you actually wanted to help, you could ask each of your 250,000 odd followers to donat $5 to these the upcoming races in VA which are really important
This is literally worse then useless
To actually do something (and not just post performative slogans) we both GOP/swing voters and GOP members of congress

Pass it on ...
I wish people would have listened to Al Gore and put our Social Security in a “Lock Box”!
That said, Social Security is not a constitutional amendment, so Republicans can change the program.
I am 17 years from retirements. I EARNED IT TOO!

A market that only the uber-rich really win at playing...with *our* money, if they have their way.
freinds: if you actually want to help, $5 sent to help the Dem candidates running for state seats in VA will make a BIG diff !!

Racists would shoot themselves in the foot if it meant "others" felt it too.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle have failed to protect it for decades.
I’ve expected my whole adult life that it wouldn’t be there for me when I am retirement age.
Trusting government (of any form) to keep a promise is silly. No matter the party. No matter the -ism.

They have no knowledge of any of this geopolitical turmoil—just scratch the surface in convo w/them. Tis easy to see.

You voted for Trump or you sat on the couch and didn’t vote, NO Social Security for you!!
I’m tired of FIGHTING for people who vote against their own interest
