They have no idea the damage or the scope.

dedebritt.bsky.social•99 days ago

I can't decide if I want to laugh at them now or cry with them later once they realize what they’ve done to us all.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Why not both? It’s how I’m not losing my sanity at the moment.

dedebritt.bsky.social•99 days ago

Both are fair. We’re entitled to all the feels. All my coping tools are in full employ here in Maine.

bgirl65.bsky.social•99 days ago

Especially if they take out the ACA 🫤

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Definitely a big piece of the puzzle. Imagine the delays at the SDI, SSI, IRS, USPS and every other agency you can think of. You think they’re slow now? Wait until they’re staffed with smooth brains whose only qualification is their cult status.

"Why'd my boss stop covering my health insurance????"

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Health insurance, both the ACA and the VA is going to be a big wake up call.

theawakenedspark.bsky.social•99 days ago

"Concepts of a plan" should have been a deal breaker for any Trump supporter not in perfect health, while "really, the Medal of Freedom is better than the Medal of Honor because you're in a one piece" should have been a deal breaker for any veteran. What a fucked-up world we're in at the moment.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

For many, it’s the entertainment he provides. I’ve seen that with people I know. They couldn’t distinguish a policy from a procedure and they don’t believe any of the things he says will actually have any tangible impact on them.

It’s all about owning the libs no matter the cost.

theawakenedspark.bsky.social•99 days ago

2024 vs. 2028 will very much be a repeat of 2016 vs. 2020. In 2016, Trump was elected because of his empty promises to change the system, his exciting rhetoric, and the emotional backlash he caused. Then, 4 years, a depression, and a pandemic later, he was thrown out. Fuck around and find out.

marthabeaudry.bsky.social•99 days ago

I feel like we're expecting a hurricane. We don't yet really know if the environment supports a Tropical Storm or a Cat 5. We can't know if it's going to be a near miss or a direct hit. I honestly believe the devil lives in the uncertainty. I just know I need to be prepared.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

💯. I knew he’d be bad the first time. It was sooo much worse than I gave him credit for.

corgislave.bsky.social•99 days ago

This is exactly what it feels like to me. Hunker down, get ready. Don’t know just how bad it will be.

kathyswords.bsky.social•99 days ago

Agreed. Reality will hit hard

thelegendkil.bsky.social•99 days ago

They will FAFO🤷🏿‍♂️

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

For sure.

tmonjar.bsky.social•99 days ago

Of course not, many need to be fed the “truth”. Right around the corner…

shnookeee.bsky.social•99 days ago

Like the fact that taxes pay for everything they use and take for granted
They’re about to learn the hard way

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yep. Popcorn is ready and “I told you so’s” locked and loaded.

shnookeee.bsky.social•99 days ago

Butter on mine please

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

You got it!

levecque17.bsky.social•99 days ago

The problem will be when they lose them getting them back. Remember what Mulvaney did to the consumer protection board. While decimating it he also got Trumps bail bond backers fines removed. His destruction of the post office comes to mind too. The dept of education turning into 100% private? Yikes

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Agreed. Anarchy of the very systems they rely on without the understanding of their dependence upon them will be their awakening. What they do with that awakening remains to be seen. They enabled this. It’s going to be up to them to disable it.

levecque17.bsky.social•99 days ago

Remember Trump convinced them Biden was the source of all their problems. They must drink a lot because I’m clear as a bell in the economy back to 1976. I sure remember 4 years ago.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Denial is one hell of a drug. So is Deja Vu. They’re going to experience that in more ways than one.

americanwoman2.bsky.social•99 days ago

No doubt.

nichijouu.bsky.social•99 days ago

My in-laws not even 2 weeks prior whining about how little they make on SS only to vote this guy in 🫠

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yikes…. Well, hopefully they get to keep it.

nichijouu.bsky.social•99 days ago

Agreed

drunemeton.bsky.social•99 days ago

Narrator: They won't…

krazykate58.bsky.social•99 days ago

They don't. They bitch and cry about the government and how much they hate it yet are first in line every time the government hands out anything.

suzilouden.bsky.social•99 days ago

Waiting for their realization that the "undocumented" give them everything they need most....

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

It’s going to be a tough lesson to learn. Hope they’re sketching out their garden designs, investing in lawn equipment and telling their kids it’s time to get a job and stop playing games all day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Truth

nordicmike.bsky.social•99 days ago

Fox will tell them “all is good” and they will keep voting Republican

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

They will. But as they lose healthcare, disability, social security, prices start to rise… that message gets harder to sustain.

drunemeton.bsky.social•99 days ago

There's no effort at all to sustain their ongoing message, "If it's bad the (D)'s are at fault!"

They'll cut programs, eliminate others, and when their base howls in pain…they'll blame the (D)'s like they alway do.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Yes. They will. But tangible loss when they have the entire of government becomes harder to deny. Even with Fox News. It is my hope that Dem leaders will finally take a lesson from the GOP and beat the drum relentlessly with the opposite tune, bring receipts and stop playing nice.

milkweed.bsky.social•98 days ago

They don’t have a damn clue. It’s unbelievable really. Destroying the administrative state is destroying the last 75 years. And they fell for it.

justthefactts.bsky.social•98 days ago

Yep.

churlayla.bsky.social•99 days ago

They’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

💯 my friend. They’re about to gain a much greater understanding and realize just how good they had it. Thanks, Democrats. Because every single thing they treasure was the result of Dem Policy.

lynne1251.bsky.social•99 days ago

This.

churlayla.bsky.social•99 days ago

I have to admit, it's stolen from a "Libertarians are housecats..." meme.

lynne1251.bsky.social•99 days ago

That’s okay. 🤣😂

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

A shoe can fit many feet, right? 😂😂

mkdhere.bsky.social•98 days ago

They have no idea what they have done and what is about to happen to them. By tge time they figure it out....

justthefactts.bsky.social•98 days ago

Agreed. They’re rubbing their hands in glee at the idea of owing the libs but they didn’t own anyone but themselves. We tried to tell them!

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

💯. For far too long they’ve been ignorant to just how we got to this place in time and history. It’s time they learn.

aimskadz15.bsky.social•99 days ago

No, they don’t, but they are about to learn…the hard way

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

I truly think that’s what it’s going to take.

jillyric.bsky.social•99 days ago

45 million are functionally illiterate in this country. They have no idea.

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

And the states that will be hit the hardest are the ones that voted for him. I truly believe blue states will be insulated to a degree and our leaders are banding together to make sure of it.

jillyric.bsky.social•99 days ago

I’m hovering between moving to a 💙 state or staying put (Florida, which has become a lost cause). My husband (native Floridian) refuses to move to a 💙 “winter” state. I’ve started a campaign championing NM (which DOES have winter). 😂

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

😂😂😂😂 believe it or not, so does mountain areas here in CA. The thing I love about this place is we have it all. Desert, coastal and mountain communities, many within a short drive. I’m in the desert area, but can be at the beach or mountains in an hour.

mwingalls.bsky.social•99 days ago

Same with every kid who ever stuck their fingers in a fan…

justthefactts.bsky.social•99 days ago

Definitely.

rogeliodelnorte.bsky.social•99 days ago

“Keep ‘em in the dark” is the GOP strategy for their electorate
