If MAGA was a legitimate legal party, I'd join. I'm old and the Dems have lied to me my whole life (I'm just discovering lately). I'm sick of it all and it's very depressing.
FYI-Some MAGA (and Dems) work very hard, but don't make enough so they qualify for Medicaid.
Dems haven’t lied to you your whole life. This attitude is why we are here. The Dems have had to tack right to keep the wack a doodle Republicans happy. You don’t have things because of Republicans.
Right…the Ex-GOP&now spineless, free from any principle/integrity/ethical/intellectual honesty, sieg hieling Nazi’s, that think their impotent bluster demonstrating deep insecurity & feelings of inadequacy, MAGArubber stamps absolutely believe in socialism.But ONLY if ONLY helps the ALREADY wealthy.
They all thought it was Obama care (aka Medicaid) which is the ACA. The maga folks are severely ignorant and uneducated on what they are or have voted against. They seem or some of them have learned that they are on that insurance and now learning the hard way.
Bannon is one of the few MAGAs with an actual BRAIN. The guy is highly educated and is not a typical cult follower. He sees what Musk and his cronies are doing, and knows this will not end well....
Bannon's Plan was never to put all power in the hands of two humans- the sociopathic felon and the richest man in the world. I don't even think he's ever been a big fan of Trump himself. He envisioned the country run by rural interests, not the interests of billionaires.
2017, Bannon dismissed the idea that Trump might moderate his positions or seek consensus with political opponents. Rather, he said, the White House is digging in for a long period of conflict to transform Washington and upend the world order.
Bannon is a right-wing radical, but he knows you can’t go full “libertarian” Nazi (like Elon) without generating massive backlash and opposition from every sector of society.
The difference with Bannon, vs. the current crop of MAGA Trump Cult Members, is that he has never advocated a monarchy, dictatorship, oligarchy, like we are seeing now. He sincerely wants to give power to rural Americans. And, he's no hardcore holy roller Evangelical either. Respect for all that.
Ummm wasn’t he the guy who spearheaded the ‘dismantle the administrative state’ idea ? Thats the same as advocating for a dictatorship or monarchy bruh.
Not the same. He has never envisioned a land ruled by Oligarchs. Yes, he's a lunatic and I don't support him at all, but the guy knows you cannot starve and choke off money for rural Americans. Trump turned out to be anything but a Bannon populist. He duped the easily duped .
Yeah whatever. There is no reality in which I will even feign praise and approval for that sadistic fascist and opportunist. We do not have the bandwidth rn.
I totally agree. Kinda reminds me of old man Mitchell who had helped precipitate the condition we’re in now, only to NOT believe the shitstorm it has produced
Bannon smart? I’m leaning toward grifter. If he really cared about these people then why did he scam them when he took the money he said was for building the wall? He’s not doing the things I would have expected right now if he was sincere. Actions speak louder than words always.
He's criminal smart, but relatively small time grifter compared to what we see today. What he is not is a Freedom Caucus lunatic ready to defund and destroy our entire system of government. He's not into Oligarchs or Dictators. I'm not into his schtick, he's way out there on the populist spectrum
Bannon is a weasel. An evil manipulator. It's just that he can't compete against musk and the crypto bro to get trump magat on his side, so he played nice.
Agree. Bannon is pivoting because he despises the power vested in Musk by Trump re DOGE. Also looks like Steve had no idea it was coming - like every voter in America.
Yeah, all true and not trying to give currency to Bannon. But he did envision something totally different. He imagined really de-centralized system with the power back in the States. He did not recognize an Oligarchy/Monarchy with power over everything was the only way to accomplish that.
I'm not supporting him, he's pretty irrelevant today anyway. But he's anti-Oligarch, anti-Monarchy. Which is the OPPOSITE of his far right wing populism. Trump is not a populist, he FAKED ALL OF IT to get their votes.
I'm not sure about that. He seems VERY keen on some sort of authoritarian Christian theocracy - don't forget that his main inspiration comes from Opus Dei, which basically invented the clerical flavor of fascism.
Bannon said "the deconstruction of the administrative state" is his goal. What do you think that action leads to? Narnia? How about we stick to separation of powers as outlined for 249 yrs. And what's so special about rural Americans? They have outsized power already.
Obamacare was coined purposely by Republicans in order to disorient people who needed healthcare. The program was vilified under that name. But sick people started using ACA and never knew it was the same thing 🤷🏻♀️
Oh damn I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who had to explain to my sister that they were the same I couldn’t believe she didn’t understand it so to know there are others who didn’t know is astounding
It would not have been possible if they weren't racists and sexists from the get go! Don;t forget how they vilified Hillary when she fought for healthcare!
If you could make them understand that their own elected officials were manipulating their ignorance to reject something that benefits them, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
Agreed. My brother is no longer with us, mental health took him almost 5 years ago but before that his cancer and his spine was treated thanks to Obamacare!
I lost my husband from suicide from the pain of same, and he had healthcare insurance.
Middle aged, middle income, white male business owner: DENY, DELAY, DEPOSE!
People believe what they want to, in their individualistic world. They want things for themselves, they don’t think about the big picture. What it might mean for their family, friends, even worse, the planet. Ignorance left them in a state of survival. They don’t know that survival is community!
It’s hard losing family because they are so far into maga that they can’t love you for who you are. I’ve had the worst nearly 10 months of my life and it’s been the loneliest time of my life. Becoming paralyzed should’ve brought support and I’ve found the total opposite. I’m struggling.
For me, it was tougher losing lifelong friends. I've always known who my family was but friends showing their true colors when I thought I knew them was beyond sad.
I'm so sorry - I too have felt the loss of people whom I never imagined were so bigoted and truly unkind!
I hope you can focus on yourself, and those who love you and will be there for you!
The only MAGA who are informed are the ultra rich whose interests are served by voting for the right. Like “paying less taxes.” Which is a fantasy anyway bc they will still end up paying for increase in cost of groceries, steal etc (tariffs) So they’re informed but still stupid and selfish.
I tried so hard. My dad will possibly soon learn that his Medicare and social security are in the cuts and may sing a different tune but until then I won’t be holding my breath.
WHO KNEW? I had no idea anyone could be that racist, stupid and gullible! I always assumed they knew it was an insult (Obamacare) they sure always used it as one!
They wouldn't hear it, because Fox wouldn't air that. That's 90% of the reason trump won because information that corrects or goes against Trump never gets to half the country. And now it's worse, as even PBS is giving Trump's insane ideas articles, like legitimize annexing Canada as a US State.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you thought the musk Bannon war was over nah its going to be easy to divide & conquer them the only thing we need to do is make the maggots realize theyve been backing the wrong horse & it can be done for most of them except for those that are brainwashed completely & theres not many of them
They need to hurt a lot more to break the spell they are under! I'm all for bringing the pain in the hope it opens some eyes! I don't wish the hardship on anybody who didn't vote for this but it's necessary! I will help any around me who didn't ask for this!
99% of MAGAts are wannabe rich, wannabe rugged, wannabe intelligent.
They are none of that.
MAGAts are just incredibly willing/desperate to believe lies, they'll believe known liars, who are saying; "none of the many failures in your life are your fault. They are the fault of taxes & immigrants."
So many suckers believe he listens to them, understands them & that he’ll take care of them. Trump is greedy and smallminded and only looks out for Trump.
Meanwhile he’s letting Elmo destroy the US to make the rich richer.
And if a bunch of trump folks weren't on Medicaid, then...?
I'm so fed up with these people, they aren't even pretending this is for the benefit of the country and not just their crony in-group.
reminds me of the Republican attack on Welfare in the 80/early 90s when the perception was only Black folk were on it...then when they tried to cut it the reallity hot them that white women were the largest demographic on Welfare
All the more reason to destroy medicaid. Nothing will change until the maganauts suffer so much that they stop believing it when donald calls it Biden Inflation.
The pain has to be felt by them personally. When they feel it they may actually realize why they are feeling it.Or they will just blame the dems like usual. Gonna be interesting.
When our MAGA government does these things it is the perfect opportunity for democrats to yell out over and over who is responsible for slashing Medicaid, increased heating bill, etc.
will democrats do this. Probably not. They are so busy doing unproductive things they won’t have time.
Hard to be motivated when everyone shits down dems throat. The Democrats have their issues n yes they are nothing like the ramrodding maggots but people if we want action and success everyone has to stop shit talking the Democratic party. How about fucking solutions or positive action of any type.
Bannon’s either on Medicaid himself, KNOWS he’s very likely going to have to use it in the near future, or is personal friends with/personally knows many people that use it themselves. There’re no other ways that a hardcore Trumper and MAGA Trash grifter like him would be defending it.
Bannon’s likely thinking the MAGA movement is over because MAGA will not vote or vote for Dems in the midterms when MAGA realizes Trump/Musk see them as disposable peons who are a waste of federal resources. That makes me smile thinking all of this may backfire.
It's almost as if he wants a narrower definition of socialism, not universal and equitable, but say, national. Where he determines who is included and benefits.
I don't think they will. When things go south because of crazy trump policies, right wing media will blame it on democrats and liberals and MAGA voters will believe them without question.
Exactly. The maga people I know love it that musk is in there rooting out fraud 🤦🏼♀️ they only watch Fox. I try to tell them muskrat is the fraud along with trump.
Yep. The Republicans need to hold a masterclass on mass manipulation and control. They have it DIALED IN! Of course using religion as it the political tool it was created for helps.
Magical thinking is area of overlap in Venn diagram, explaining Y those pre-conditioned to believe in religious fairy tales are prime candidates to believe political fairy tales, potential recruits for the MAGAT political “cult of personality” (as trolling passes for a “personality” these days)
'Gregor Strasser was a German politician and early leader of the Nazi Party. Along with his younger brother Otto, he was a leading member of the party's left-wing faction, which brought them into conflict with the dominant faction led by Adolf Hitler, resulting in his murder in 1934'. More you know.
In my state, Utah, every MAGA family I know has 3-10 kids, is on Medicaid and getting $200-250 child tax credit per month and on other welfare benefits. But they accused non-whites/illegals being lazy(lie) that live on welfare(lie) and calling liberals a welfare commie. They deserve Trump.
I have a MAGAte neighbor with a disabled wife on Section 8 and SNAP......with her SSDI being their only income.........and he STILL thinks Elon is going to make things better........the alarm on his little day dream is about to go off.
From Mormon family with 12 siblings. I made this point to my Mom. Even roughly calculated how much we relied on the tax breaks. Never worked. Always tagging lazy people or immigrants taking healthcare and money.
Typical Mormon Utah family has multiple children. This family I know was getting almost $3000 child tax credit checks every month when Biden first enacted the program to combat child poverty. But these entitled idiots were criticizing Biden daily. They always vote for GOP. Trump is their Savior.🤣
Yup, I kid you not. The child tax credit checks were/are one of the main reasons for the booming economy in Utah. They will have to kiss it goodbye along with many other benefits, including medicaid and school funding.
Elon won’t be happy to know all the high breeders he loves are the ones mooching off the government the most. How ironic. That makes me so mad. Well, they’re gonna have to figure it out and sell the Suburban! 😁
Same shit here in Missouri and Kentucky, when reality hits them between the eyes they will then attack the left. This is how the Alt-Reich wants to start the next Civil War
🤣🤣🤣 oh wow i see that here too in upstate NY lots of MAGAS sucking on the welfare teat but the hispanics i see working 12 or 24 hour days well they get everything ..yea right
And even then, the primary reason is that New Mexico has become a retirement haven. So most of those people are just elderly, rather than it being a bunch of millennials the way MAGA loves to act. (After all, "fuck old people" would be a harder platform to sell racists on than "fuck brown people".)
No one deserves to suffer.
As an empty nester with no child, I am not a receipant of any of the programs. I don't mind paying thousands of taxes every quarter & several thousand on property tax to contribute. I should be treated better than being treated like a 2nd class by receipants of my tax $?
One decent-point doesn't excuse his calls to dismantle DEI, flood the zone with bullshit, and approve deep funding-cuts to other departments.
If my MAGA-neighbors agree with me that it's bad to cut funding to USAID, that doesn't make me forget the rest of the shitty reasons they voted for Trump.
I extrapolated from your comment that Steve Bannon is the voice of reason of the MAGA party. I trust you meant that comment to be in jest.
Honestly, my response was more about reminding people to draw parallels between Bannon and their MAGA neighbors, so as to avoid normalizing any MAGA behavior
We all know someone in MAGA-world who will try to find common ground with us, and if they make a point that we both agree on, it might give us hope that we're "breaking through".
We're not breaking through.
But if we think we are, MAGA gets to return to their behavior without consequence.
I've started to put my own neighbors on notice (people I've gotten along with for some time) that I'm not tolerating the pro/sympathetic MAGA posts or support anymore, and that it WILL strain any future relationships with them. It's the only way I can convey that their actions have consequences
Lots of children on medicaid who really need it. My 4 yr old granddaughters medicaid got cut. My daughter has a fairly decent job but the dad is a deadbeat and out of the picture.
I'm sorry to hear that but I'm afraid it going to go much farther! This is a tragedy in the making. We have to hold onto the hope that they will not be able to tear it all down.Midterms are our best hope right now. Be prepared to help those that are going to need it if you can!
34 million Medicaid beneficiaries who support MAGA are about to face the consequences of their vote. They backed politicians determined to gut the very programs they rely on. Medicaid, Social Security, and other safety nets essential for their survival.
We track everything. Just wait until Musk finishes funneling government data from his "audits" into XAI. Soon, he won’t just influence the government, he’ll own it.
right?
They were purported to be like "The Lilies of the Field "
God will provide🤣
no "handouts" needed
God helps those who help themselves
fucking fake magan Christians when faced with the bitter reality that Trusk (tWump and Musk ) will fuck over everyone whose not a billionaire
I wish them luck with that racist desire because… the traitor felon and his neo-Nazi henchman/(real leader) are not using a scalpel with their drastic budget “efficiency” cuts… the sledge hammer is destroying the safety net.
Bingo! They thought Trump would cut other people’s benefits, not their benefits. The arrogant A holes really thought they are so special Trump would never do that to them. They are special all right, but not in the way they think.
That's going to be incredibly difficult to do. How do you differentiate between red and blue voters ? There are both in every state.My state of Missouri is red,red yet the majority of our large cities are democrats. How to reconcile that? Maybe every recipient announce political affiliation ?
So, basically what he’s saying is no meat axe - more like a surgical knife to save it for all the MAGATs while eliminating Medicaid for all those “wokes” out there. Got it.
In a more hellish vision of what we are experiencing, I can imagine a scenario where doges data heist could be used to continue to funnel some diminished welfare to red voters but not blue. I cannot wrap my brain around all the corruption that can/will ensue from these thieving bastards
Jo - if you think of the ‘National Debt’ as the amount of non-government wealth, does that help you feel better?
The US govt issues the currency. The ‘debt’ is nothing more than the sum of US $ in circulation. No risk of default except by idiots playing politics w/ the debt ceiling.
Just wait until their unvaccinated kids have to go to the hospital because they are losing their hearing from measles but either that hospital is shut down or refuses to treat them because they are uninsured.
They want "other" people to pull themselves up by their bootstraps while they can't afford to buy boots. If they knew how to spell hypocrites they could look up the definition and see themselves
LOL this is hilarious. I love how these people Vote for people that clearly stated over & over again what they planned on doing & then when it's being done, they're like wait a minute why are you doing this to us? LOL buffoons, They always think it is ONLY going to be for the people they hate. 🤣
Their voter participation rates are pretty bad.
I'm curious what a dedicated, well funded and well thought out voter registration drive and Dem campaign could do. They love Andy Beshear.
LOL right that is exactly what they were thinking. I have been telling these kind of white people, it is NOT a race war like they have manipulated everyone to believe rather a CLASS WAR and these good white folks do NOT have enough money to buy their way into the cult club. They were used!!!
And Hispanics have a self concept of being White adjacent. And Arabs. And Arabs and Hispanics historically misogynistic so ... Had to vote for the Penised Cauc
I so agree! I'm born & raised in Miami, FL & I've been informing the Hispanic community since 1980 YOU'RE NOT WHITE. They call you the N word behind your back! I know because I'm white & they talk to me thinking I'm like them & I'm telling you they will send you up the river in a coffin the same.
The thing about Hispanics is they don't understand it's not the color of your skin...they're not a "good old boy white". Being from Miami I have realized that a lot of Cubans are very racist just like the good old boy white people. I have never understood that. It's really strange to me.
No no, they never actually pick up on the fact that the people they voted for are doing it. They usually just think that the liberals are doing some kind of crazy underhanded cheating to stop Trump from making everything great again.
They are the guys that love to play tough guy until things get bad and then they are the ones begging for help. Most bannon’s followers are most from states that depend on it the most.
I can't wait.
I know plenty of maga who never once had to worry about a medical bill. Must be fucking nice to simply not ever pay for your own healthcare.
And then they voted against the chance for everyone else to access the programs.
Bannon is a nationalist first and foremost. Many of his ideas are horrid, but the reason he was marginalized has a lot to do with him not being a fiscal conservative
You can't take a meat axe to any of it Steviepoo, it's all interconnected.
It's like taking the load bearing wall out because you want a better view, it isn't going to go the way you think.
You have to forensically audit each factor & calculate the consequences.
Dumald HAS grown fond of Power & Aparthied Elmo is hitting NEW EUPHORIC HIGH, that often comes w/First Taste. DESPITE abysmal ignorance OF BOTH, with the Wielding.
WILLFUL Ignorance that blinds 2 FACT that: Power wielded BADLY?… Can roll RIGHT over THEM as well... Without even BLINKING
Bannon is very right-wing, but he knows you can’t go full “libertarian” Nazi (like Elon) without generating massive backlash and opposition from every sector of society.
I wouldn’t put it past him to be sending a different message. He’s saying, don’t use an axe, use a scalpel. Maybe that scalpel is a cross reference of election data and Medicaid data.
I think that you give these morons too much credit, and it’s more that they’re just so stupid that when they cheered for ‘burn the government down!’ they just never considered ‘how would that actually affect ME?’
Just a combination of being terrible members of society and dumb at the same time.
Had the same thought. They were all in when it affected “those” groups, not realizing that half or more of the people on social safety net programs are white.
It's more than half. I'm on disability, white and go to see at least one doctor per week for my condition. All the folks I see are middle age white ppl like myself. FYI, I voted Hillary, Biden and Harris in the last 3 elections and blue my entire life.
One of the major reasons we are reconsidering our annual trip to the Cincinnati Open tennis tournament this year. We'd have to drive through red "shit" zones to get there.
Hell yes it has! I live between Youngstown and east Liverpool and it is sad to see all this trump signs on all these run down houses - they actually think he gives a shit about them
Cincinnatian, also. It's fucked that we can't push outward harder. Then again, our party at the state level is run by stubborn oldheads who don't believe in progress to the point they may as well be conservatives.
So how at odds is Bannon really with Doge? This is his plan right? Flooding the zone with shit? Crocodile tears is my impulse, but why is he voicing criticism at all is my question. Plausible deniability?
MAGA RED STATES —ARE BEING HIT HARDEST BY TRUMP,GOP, ELON’s CUTS TO GOV. FUNDED PROGRAMS; BENEFITS, HEALTHCARE, INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS/JOBS SHUTDOWN, GOV. FUNDED FACTORIES/BUSINESSES/JOBS TO BE SHUTDOWN,FARMS BANKRUPTED—SURROUNDING COMMUNITY/BUSINESSES COLLAPSE TOO BROKE PEOPLE CANT SUPPORT THEM!
And when they go from Medicare and Social Security, so many people will be impacted, not only those directly, but the repercussions will be profound across the full nation
Yes, I'm watching a hospital being added on to in my rural area, finally stare if the art fur so many due to us not having to travel 90 plus miles, a regional hospital, this was so exciting, and i thought oh no it will not proceed or continue and go under. Drs and hospitals will be a thing past
The only people I know who abuse government benefits are maga. I grew up in a red state and these people truly feel the government owes them something.
Yep, cheat the welfare/food stamp programs, cheat on their taxes. Traffic laws apparently aren’t intended for them and forget about parking correctly.🙄🤬🤮 Just the worst people.
Really? You want to take a meat axe to everything else including social security and medicare. You're such a two-faced asshole. Go away you filthy greasy thing.
Under normal circumstances, whatever those are, I would rather have a fingernail removed than agree with Steve Bannon about anything much less than what I'm about to say, but I think he and Rogan are the tickets to helping rank-and-file right-wing
Americans realize that they are actually on the same side with us. All this culture war crap was a distraction that was fed to us, so that we, the many, would not unite against the greedy, filthy rich few. They have hold of the military. We're going to need numbers.
He might actually, he is riding fine line of public upheaval. MAGA has gun and much much angrier than we are in general. It’s a group I would think 4 times before crossing.
MAGA just needs a reason to get violent and they will. Look at some of the acts of violence with Trump supporters popping up on Tik Tok and the rage out moments. These people won but are ready to snap. They keep saying we won, but not acting like it. They are seeing the rich get richer but not them
100%. And the people most quiet about their fierceness are the ones who win wars on enemy soil. MAGA-types lost the US Civil War and WWII on THEIR OWN SOIL. They couldn't even guerrilla their way to victory against those of us who are quiet and fierce and ready to react at the correct time.
I'm fairly confident he will be able to redirect their anger towards the ones who are "really" guilty. Y'know, the gays, the transes, immigrants, uppity women... most MAGAs will be more than happy to target people WITHOUT a protection detail that shoots back .
The 🍊 💩 don't care about anyone who voted for him. He's already got what he wanted. For the next 4 years, he'll be using the government resources at his disposal to start work on the next trump (private citizen) project, the Gaza Strip. Expect our military to start depopulation this spring.
ONG yes! A magat was telling me about someone going to die bc cancer.
Me:if only we had the medical skills to help him
Magat: I told him to try the dog dewormer
One of my husband’s buddies mixes Ivermectin with orange juice and drinks it every morning because he is convinced it can keep him from getting Covid, the Flu AND cancer. 😤🙄🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I knew a nurse with cancer who believed cancer was worms. She bought some ivermectin then was too afraid to use it. She died at 58 having refused medical treatment when her cancer returned. So sad.
I had a nurse friend with cancer who believed Ivermectin would be a cure. She ordered some, was too afraid to take it, and she died from untreated metastasized brain cancer she didn’t know she had until it was too late to do anything. It was so sad.
Arrogance in their ignorance is my new tag line for these folks.To believe one knows more than those who spent 10 years in school and have doctorates baffles me.
Google Doctors.
It's why we have an Enviromental Attorney with no scientific training in charge of HHS telling doctors they're wrong.
Yes please drink a lot of it . Maybe we can have a couple of special milk delivered to the next cabinet meeting. Ice cold with glasses and even some chocolate quick or syrup
If you talk to a MAGA crowd, they call what minorities are on as "welfare," but they refer to their own benefits as "disability" because it sounds much more noble as if they worked so hard in the mines that they ultimately became disabled...maybe some did, but I have my doubts...
Let's be a bit more fair and not blame them for poverty, because in many instances they were made poor or kept that way by the system. We can blame Mitch for exploiting them, though.
I agree with the last part. The problem is the maintenance of racial divide gives them *someone* to be above. If that is erased, then everyone is on the lowest rung. The caste systems are held tightest by those on the lower, but not lowest, position in society. It's a useful foil for the powerful.
It is where I had a problem with the Ds focusing on identity politics as much as they did. Wealth inequality is the *biggest* issue (not trying to minimize the others). Minority groups are disproportionately affected by poverty, but poor whites still form the majority of impoverished people.
Wow, 🙄🙄so their real daddy is Uncle Sam. Did these people ever aspire to do anything with their lives but be dependent on the government? 😉#whiteTrash #hillbilles
Same reason they will crash the stock market. They don’t care how many it destroys as long as they can pick up stocks for Pennie’s on the dollar! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Well...in their minds, at least they got go "own the libs" even for a short moment before blaming Biden/Harris/Obama/Clinton/"librulrs"/"woke" for the shit that's coming, because "I didn't vote for this!! 😭"
Mark Rubio is a soulless minion of the Devil, and a cowardly saber rattler for trump!
He was salivating over murdering Palestinians!
He is a sociopath with no compassion or empathy! An immigrant, like Ted Cruz, who votes against immigration!
Even that bc usually on such big contracts where everything is in bulk mainly in military,farming,haulage,shipping etc ur invoice clears up in between 30-90 days depending on contractor u working for & once it reaches the set destination✍🏽
The produce will rot on the ports & they know it .. idiots!
Felon Art of the Deal doesn’t grasp the concept that giving aid is a circular arrangement where farmers growing the food given are gainfully employed aside from critical humanitarian aid given and the reward of soft power and 1st dibs on rare earth minerals in the region. China is filling our void…
Had he understood concept of ‘soft power’ do u think we Americans at least pro democracy ones would be cringing with disbelief what J D ‘f*ckin eyeliner’ Vance said in Munich & then rapist & wife beater so called ‘Def Sec’🤬
It is beggars belief on foreign policy these idiots r portraying🤦🏽♂️
#Resist
Our allies (at least they are to non~Maggots) know these clowns so called representing the US are idiots & give no respect. Muskrat is also catering to the fascists in THEIR nations( especially Germany & France) So they seek to prosecute Musk for same election hacking as here & can help us prove
Yes neither Vance nor Hegseth have any real leadership experience, no basic knowledge of history nor what constitutes strength in a nation. They’re so out of their depth it’s ludicrous. This besides their lack of morals Thanks for sharing the NATO interview of Hegseth as a fool parroting bigger ones
Speaking of farmers, this video explains the relationship between SNAP and WIC benefits and the agricultural welfare subsidies farmers receive! It's pretty darn interesting, if you take one piece out of the system,it collapses because they rely on each other.
That’s the factor so many of these self-proclaimed patriots conveniently forget though — that public assistance programs put income into consumer’s households, and goes into the economy. It’s all income that helps support our economy. $256 billion of that from migrants. SS, VA benefits, SNAP, etc.
And you have to realize, these are the same people that think no one should have to pay taxes while still expecting these services to be there when they need them for themselves somehow; or for us to pay for a secure military while “finding some other way to fund it”. Using logic is pointless.
Farmers in the part of Texas that I grew up in know EXACTLY where those subsidies come from…back in the 1970s almost every household and every school received free cheese, butter, flour, canned foods, and a whole lot more from the government. It was a regular distribution, done in our communities.
This lady is fantastic and able to explain things clearly, she should tour rural America with Bernie and AOC to educate the people on what they voted for
I wish that the Democratic party would implement an idea hot line for voters to suggest ideas like yours. Of course it will be flooded with nonsense and rants,but out of the grit and grime, comes the pearls of wisdom.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I live in an agricultural area.. my house is surrounded by soybean fields, as well as part of my land leased to someone who farms soybeans… I knew farmers received subsidies but hadn’t made the connection that that’s what these programs are.
Gosh 🤬
Have u ever seen a govt (well we r seeing it first hand now) that is hell bent on making it’s own people poorer 🤔
This is just insanity tbh✍🏽
President Biden gave him the best economy, even better than 2016 Obama’s economy & he’s wrecked it just to introduce crypto & give tax cuts🤦🏽♂️
We are the 99% When we walk in our power we all thrive. Business people do not belong in government. They use a person’s best years and the government cares for people cradle to grave. Business is not bad, they take people with varied skills, point them all in one direction and make wonder
First steps towards authoritarianism- institutions of Republic that reflect Democracy are targeted as their setup is based on democratic values ✍🏽
They exactly know what they r doing & what to target bc forget Republicans r in power- no, it’s Far Right in power now & it is really bad seriously 🤔
What’s worse than that is how many people are cheering it on, thinking all this is a good thing…it’s insane how many ppl think musk & trump are gonna “save” this country from corruption 🙄
We had the tories implement a suicidal Brexit which has had just that effect - we thought the US had taken note and wouldn’t back Trump and his ilk again…
Far right has been better at getting polarising messages out which no one could match & then cynicism by Musk & his 19-25 year old techies. Voter suppression to bombing election centres & all false narratives played a big role & above all 90 million Americans didn’t vote 👇🏼 #Resist
Sadly farmers will never recover from this but this country was headed into being a hate filled society. Trump came along to teach this people a lesson and the rest of us are learning lessons too. We’ve placed too much trust in weak gov people. we thought they’d protect us and we were wrong
The country has always run on hate. It is just more apparent now. “The government” is what corporations are trying to destroy. They think money is real and if they divide the country they can grab every dollar. Usually hoarders get an intervention. Here they are being enabled. Divide and conquer
Red states rely on Blue state taxes to support their disproportionate reliance on Federal funding. SNAP isn't going to immigrants in NYC, it's going to MAGA voters in Texas.
California will have a secession referendum with the mid term elections. California’s tax contributions keep all the Fentanyl MAGA Trump-voting shit states out of bankruptcy.
Go California - look after yourselves and let those deplorable fuckers starve.
The Constitution does not provide for unilateral secession. There is scope within it for mutually agreed secession. With approval from all states. Which ain’t gonna happen when the seceding state bankrolls all the shithouse MAGA states and keeps them afloat.
We DO not have choice. We've been working all our lives to split each dollar into pennies for our own family to support addicts violent uneducated losers, & morbidly obese self destructive people with no sense of responsibility
That's roughly over 1/3 of the American population between the coasts .. all in areas given more electoral votes than the pop deserves and sta4es made INTO the onky key states that decide elections REGARDLESS of the popular vote OR outcomes for all 50 states
Unfortunately the federal taxes go from the taxed person or entity directly to Washington. In, say, Californians' case, Sacramento is not a middleman of any sort. That means blue states have no capacity to control Joe and Jane Smith's IRS check to Washington.
Not if the state has seceded. The issue, of course, would be that that process requires approval al from all other states. Good luck divvying up the Navy 🫤. But it would be a shot over the bows.
I'm aggressively minimizing my tax footprint this year. We're giving to charities at higher rates than ever, shifting investments into tax free assets, etc. Also dropping discretionary spending. Starve the fuckers out...
here's the problem with that: cost of living is twice as high, cities are being gentrified & becoming more & more expensive, homelessness is increasing. A lot ppl literally cannot afford to live in these places.
There's a problem with the liberal framing of voting. Voting isnt mandatory in the US & it's not particularly easy in many places, choices are limited & largely binary, gerrymandering has been common practice for generations, disenfranchising voting laws comparable to pre-CRM swept across states
Sure there are, just like we have bad ones here. Central NY has no shortage of racist morons. What we do have is sensible goverment, because we elected them.
People get the government they deserve (elect) and aren't victims, they are participants. Vote better and fund schools.
I’m Australian mate - every one of you is a deplorable fucker for letting this happen. Let your own country implode by all means but the other 97% of humanity cop the fallout.
I would be a liar if I said I didn’t consider the affects of what less than 50% of the US has doomed ALL of the world to. Trust, we tried to warn them this would not end well but the racist misinformed disinformed greedy power hungry wanted “their man” in office. And here we are.
If you think we all just let this happen you’re deeply ignorant. Many of us are well aware of the effect this will have on the world, and millions of us tried to stop it. I don’t know why you think we should have done but we were not and are not all complicit.
It happened. You bear responsibility. You can take it back if you have the balls to do it. You don’t. This is Germany 1933 replayed - how the fuck did they let that happen? Same way America is letting it happen now! Words are just words - totally irrelevant. Actions count.
Rural Ohio is the Mecca of SNAP, SS, Medicare, Medicaid and the egg farms are closed and immigrants keeping the factories staffed have been run out by FOTUS/Vance/Oath Keepers. It will hit the fan soon.
Miami County in the house. Like Ray Wylie says, the crystal methamphetamine industry is booming. School to prison to the dole, all on the taxpayers dime and it ain't even their fault.
When you cut every social service there is, no housing, no treatment or even concern, what do you expect.
Less so Texas because of blue enclaves like Austin but for sure all those states where there hasn't been a polticial poll in 40 years because they haven't voted blue since Regan.
Gobsmacking that this great country is being dismantled by a sleazy real estate developer from Queens.
I would have sent this script to rewrite in a heartbeat.
More than half of them incidels in Upper Michigan are on Disability and Medicaid, living with Mommy or Gramma. Oh my, what will they do if it disappears? Thats when the criming starts...
I had 1 ask me how I knew what their best interests were. I laughed, they dont understand how badly they have screwed themselves and are dragging us with them.
I had a poly sci prof who used to refer to the "Get gummint hands off my welfare" crowd while explaining how a lot of Americans say they hate gummint but love the programs that benefit them.
1. Rally around Rep Green’s articles of impeachment.
2. Present the articles publicly on the Capitol steps March 14.
3. Organize a million+ to witness the presentation.
4. Shutdown the Fed Gov & activate general strike simultaneously on March 14.
well idk if I will get an SSDI payment in 2 weeks. my roommate is retired and should get his in 10 days . we will see how quick it happens. musk robbed our info for a reason .
In TN, I can confirm this is 100% correct. The rural counties here are super poor yet scream about how Dems waste tax dollars. Dollars they don't even pay yet keep them existing. I don't wish for suffering, but what if we gave them the chance to see what life without SSI and Medicaid is really like?
Oh, that will happen. I think these people need to feel and suffer real heavy consequences. My concern is is they will have a complete disconnect as to their election choice and their current state.
You can’t fix stupid, but you can smother it with a pillow.
I feel your hope. Otherwise I wouldn't be hollering on the rooftops to everyone who can hear. Maybe there's one person who's on the fence that we can persuade that this is not the best idea.
IDK I find myself cheering for the asteroid and the pandemic more and more. If we had more Charles Darwin and a little less liberal civilisation we'd naturally have fewer evil morons. The real entertainment starts when liberals "give up" on MAGA.
I keep thinking about this comment because it's an important evolution. Liberals are starting to understand that their policies protect conservatives from the consequences of their actions and hence there is never a correction.💡💡💡 🎯 🎯.
Living in North Carolina and working in healthcare I can also confirm that many of these MAGA followers benefit most from these social programs. Many of them simply don't keep up with current events. They have Medicaid and don't know how they got it. They need a rude awakening.
Let them figure it out the hard way. Once they realize all of the programs and organizations they've been demonizing for the majority of their lives are the ones that has kept them propped up, they'll start to realize their stupidity.
The problem with this is my 88 year old mother will not survive without social security, Medicare and housing assistance. Without oxygen, she’ll die. And she didn’t vote for the Nazis
I don't live in the US, but in another country where the poorest always vote for politicians that keep them poor. I've lost my empathy towards them long ago.
Comments
FYI-Some MAGA (and Dems) work very hard, but don't make enough so they qualify for Medicaid.
In 2025 Robber Barron Elon Musk is breaking up the US Government.
🤔
What the hell is Bannon anyway? Some kind of middle earth neanderthal?
Many poor magas got Healthcare for the first time in their shitty lives bc of the ACA. But they hate they guy who gave it to them.
If you could make them understand that their own elected officials were manipulating their ignorance to reject something that benefits them, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
Mental health care in this country is abysmal, even with insurance.
Middle aged, middle income, white male business owner: DENY, DELAY, DEPOSE!
They really STILL don't get it!
I hope you can focus on yourself, and those who love you and will be there for you!
They never did. O well.
They are none of that.
MAGAts are just incredibly willing/desperate to believe lies, they'll believe known liars, who are saying; "none of the many failures in your life are your fault. They are the fault of taxes & immigrants."
Meanwhile he’s letting Elmo destroy the US to make the rich richer.
I'm so fed up with these people, they aren't even pretending this is for the benefit of the country and not just their crony in-group.
Be careful what you wish for MAGA.
Dummies.
will democrats do this. Probably not. They are so busy doing unproductive things they won’t have time.
Is it second and third families… saving the family head &$
As an empty nester with no child, I am not a receipant of any of the programs. I don't mind paying thousands of taxes every quarter & several thousand on property tax to contribute. I should be treated better than being treated like a 2nd class by receipants of my tax $?
Also 30.6% Bachelor+ educational attainment versus 46.6% for Massachusetts.
Finally, 77.8% white alone in Bristol County versus 68.8% statewide.
And now I want to puke
If my MAGA-neighbors agree with me that it's bad to cut funding to USAID, that doesn't make me forget the rest of the shitty reasons they voted for Trump.
Honestly, my response was more about reminding people to draw parallels between Bannon and their MAGA neighbors, so as to avoid normalizing any MAGA behavior
We're not breaking through.
But if we think we are, MAGA gets to return to their behavior without consequence.
Hope their bootstraps are extra sturdy

The US govt issues the currency. The ‘debt’ is nothing more than the sum of US $ in circulation. No risk of default except by idiots playing politics w/ the debt ceiling.
It makes me want it to happen.

Love to see stats on % of potential voters in KY that actually vote
I'm curious what a dedicated, well funded and well thought out voter registration drive and Dem campaign could do. They love Andy Beshear.
I know plenty of maga who never once had to worry about a medical bill. Must be fucking nice to simply not ever pay for your own healthcare.
And then they voted against the chance for everyone else to access the programs.
I hope they are TERRIFIED.
Bannon is a nationalist first and foremost. Many of his ideas are horrid, but the reason he was marginalized has a lot to do with him not being a fiscal conservative
Steve Bannon is an architect of current coup of America
It's like taking the load bearing wall out because you want a better view, it isn't going to go the way you think.
You have to forensically audit each factor & calculate the consequences.
With his 2x nazi salute & supper of German AfD party he’s confirmed that he’s a fascist.
He is getting revenge for the US’ actions to destroy South AfriKKKa Apartheid.
And he’s pulling it off

Pres Elon Trump? Have NO IDEA how interconnected MOST of Gov IS.
Proved SIMPLEMINDEDNESS by completely defunding several Branches?… Then clawing-back funding on Essential Svcs they didn’t REALIZE wud b effected.
They are CHILDREN playing with hand grenades.
WILLFUL Ignorance that blinds 2 FACT that: Power wielded BADLY?… Can roll RIGHT over THEM as well... Without even BLINKING
As a matter of fact, I hope they do. It's time.
Just a combination of being terrible members of society and dumb at the same time.
My stupid phone tried to autocorrect it to FARGO. FARGO then FASHO. They can all RADIO.
Usually supported by Democrats..
Maybe. If the elections aren't honest, then the result is inevitable.
By that same token, some are lost. I'm not so much trying to convince them as I am their audience.
Not all will be convinced, but some will. The truth is convincing for those who seek it above all.

Me:if only we had the medical skills to help him
Magat: I told him to try the dog dewormer
Me. Silent: did you really just say that?
You voted for this.
We tried to tell them, and they laughed at us and called us libtards.
I have zero sympathy for what is coming to them and theirs. Really sad for the rest of us
Pants down they're all screaming is it working do you see the cancer coming out yet? Give'm another pill

No, the U.S. Constitution does not provide a legal mechanism for a state to secede from the Union...
The issue was effectively settled by the Civil War and reinforced by the Supreme Court case Texas v. White (1869)
That said, secessionist movements still pop up from time to time
who have never worked.. in Red states
Not a democratic process for 70yrs
Leave, And the NorthEast will Leave. The Bible Belt is on its own.
Even if you only go by voting, in the reddest state (Wyoming), 25% of voters voted for Harris.
Many are also victims of their states’ horrendous policies.
Stop the dehumanizing bullshit. People aren’t “deplorable fuckers” just because of where they live.
People get the government they deserve (elect) and aren't victims, they are participants. Vote better and fund schools.
We don't need to be fucking supporting Oklahoma and Idaho anymore.
