You are evil, a piece o shit, scumbag.

lemancha.bsky.social•173 days ago

It's why every time some one asks "how are we going to get people to vote blue!?" I tell them to be patient and wait for conservatives to fall flat on their faces, tariffs and trumps desire to reek havoc on healthcare will do them all in.

The only people bothered by this shooting are people who could reasonably see themselves on the wrong end of that suppressor.

daynac.bsky.social•173 days ago

Harsh but true

hombrus.bsky.social•173 days ago

No one likes their private insurance who has used it.

hombrus.bsky.social•173 days ago

It’s a myth sold by … uh, the private insurers.

taylorlorenz.bsky.social•173 days ago

Apparently most of these new conservative followers are finding me through Ben Shapiro's video, which is hilarious. The entire comment section on the video has turned on him, and people are subscribing to me. 😭

phegan.dev•173 days ago

When you are funded by billionaires, it's the one time you can't grift to your audience. I hope this is enough of a moment for people to realize Ben and company are grifters.

drunkratel.bsky.social•173 days ago

I'm beginning to warm up to the idea that a significant share of Trump voters are just one or two good conversations away from flipping hard left.

dadanick.bsky.social•173 days ago

It is not an uncommon refrain that people would have voted for Bernie in 2016, but went Trump because fuck the establishment shitting on little people.

taylorlorenz.bsky.social•173 days ago

The comment section is giving me life.

carlsbaddave.bsky.social•173 days ago

Way to go! Great work!

kingu.bsky.social•173 days ago

This is incredibly gratifying. I feel like the world is genuinely healing what's happening lol

samthom64.bsky.social•172 days ago

Are they finally fucking getting it??

jmad.me•173 days ago

Reading one comment that suggests he thought Ben actually cared for him 😂😂😂. Probably thinks 🍊💩 does too!!

lizrbherenow.bsky.social•173 days ago

Thank you for sharing that! It gives me life too!

underscore-proto.bsky.social•173 days ago

It's almost like this explains why Bernie Sanders running on a "fuck the rich/ give everyone health care" platform was both popular with people and deeply unpopular with democrats already in power.

artisanrox.bsky.social•173 days ago

omg those comments are up to 7K likes on some of them.

The worst thing ever done was not putting Bernie against Trump. And Dems are entirely to blame for that.

mister914.bsky.social•173 days ago

💯 Why do I never hear about this?

artisanrox.bsky.social•173 days ago

Hang these in the Louvre. The galvanizing moment of American class consciousness

beastquake.bsky.social•173 days ago

Denial of claims don't care if you are on the left or right.

devotaj.com•173 days ago

wow... finally something we all agree about.

mrjohnmuller.bsky.social•173 days ago

A watershed moment for American political unity.

magisterbracey.bsky.social•173 days ago

This is just so beautiful 🥹

hk1988.bsky.social•173 days ago

What strange new shores are these?!

sarc4t5.bsky.social•173 days ago

People are having epiphanies in that comment section and I *love it*!

narutotheartist.bsky.social•171 days ago

Thank you Taylor <3. Ben, is heartless as somebody who would be denied and screwed over by health insurance companies. I understand why people are fed up with these evil companies. Brain Thompson, and every other health insurance CEO is a murderer too but Ben won't say that.

♥ Taylor

therealmothman.bsky.social•173 days ago

It feels so weird to say this about someone who probably hates women's autonomy but, fuck it, GET IM!

lynn1973.bsky.social•173 days ago

This comment section actually brings me hope 🥰

ifight4them.bsky.social•173 days ago

Rare W. Nice.

alexishyde.bsky.social•173 days ago

Yessssssss

ljohn44.bsky.social•173 days ago

Can you help those conservatives out by drawing the parallels between Insurance cos overriding their & their dr's medical decisions & the govt overriding women's & their dr's medical decisions? They seem to understand the practice of personal sovereignty but not the concept as it applies to women.

greeblehaus.com•173 days ago

I hope they fun your next vacation!

regicide.lol•173 days ago

Hopefully all sales are final 😉

ilintar.org•173 days ago

Hopefully there are more of those moments when the conservative Republican voters get a rude awakening of the fact that their idols, who usually get around the class issues by focusing on culture wars, are not in fact their allies.

shrektv.bsky.social•173 days ago

I don't think you understand math or anything related to humanity. Your glorification of murder remaining up on #bluesky just shows how hypocritical and evil you people are!!!

tobend.bsky.social•172 days ago

Congratulations. Major achievement unlocked 🔓🥇🌟🙌🏼

misterdave.bsky.social•173 days ago

There is a roadmap here for Democrats to win over a lot of voters who are tired of being fucked over by various giant companies. That, however, requires them to stop sucking up to those same various giant companies.

thrillpickle.bsky.social•173 days ago

Wild that this is what it takes for Shapiro fans to actually wake up and realize that Shapiro is a culture war bull shitter.

hardcasual.bsky.social•173 days ago

Fucking YouTube reaction thumbnails are just... Awful lmao

fangsbites.bsky.social•173 days ago

Keep up the great work, Taylor!

tsellhorn.social•173 days ago

Turns out sincerity and giving a shit is high leverage!

anarch0striga.bsky.social•173 days ago

This is giving me so much hope that maybe there are threads of reality we can all still cling to, together. Maybe we can even build a better world off of this?

sirconnoisseur.bsky.social•173 days ago

sander001.bsky.social•173 days ago

They're not just pearl clutching, they're defending the status quo and systemic social murder.

danm.sh•173 days ago

Assuming the wsj sub would have never let you print something like that with them? Is the substack migration paying off in many ways now?

Congrats on the growth and handling this situation so well. ✊

timfullerton.bsky.social•173 days ago

I do wonder if we are seeing maybe just the early beginnings of a realignment where people realize the powers that be do not have the best intentions in mind.

Might be optimistic, but would love to see that!

mcarm513.bsky.social•173 days ago

Yeah like collectively fuck all of these people that have us hating our family members and neighbors while they get rich off of our suffering. The vast majority of us should be on the same side, and if we were, we would be unstoppable. They know this so they keep us at each others throats

techsocial.bsky.social•173 days ago

I hope you’re right.

kathrynzalewski.bsky.social•173 days ago

Wondered this myself, but probably too early to tell. Fingers crossed!

ylwsunflwergrl.bsky.social•173 days ago

Feels like something that could unify imo - a definite flash point.

bingo46.bsky.social•172 days ago

edgelord911.bsky.social•173 days ago

That's cool but you're going to lose a bunch as soon as they see your stance on other issues.

themarkanderson.bsky.social•172 days ago

If you’re going to help justify murder, it would be useful to those of us who care about the truth vs. conjecture, to include some verifiable facts and citations, since you’re a now a healthcare expert.

emilyfrench.bsky.social•173 days ago

Push for healthcare changes and solidarity in labor will realign this country. The true opposition are billionaires.

thekittiegirls.bsky.social•173 days ago

I noticed conservative people I went to school with posting about how bad the insurance industry is. First time we’ve agreed on anything in ages.

anothermike100.bsky.social•173 days ago

Guns are woke now.

tamiwas.bsky.social•173 days ago

This was my contribution to the discourse (I'm not even a tiny bit conservative, ftr.) https://bsky.app/profile/tamiwas.bsky.social/post/3lcl4pqgcyc2n

hardcasual.bsky.social•173 days ago

R/conservative was like this too

sallysamsara.bsky.social•173 days ago

Bernie harped on the medical insurance inequities and gross wealth inequities, thus had a huge following across party lines.

Dems adherence to corporate kowtowing lost many of these voters.

ru12xu.bsky.social•173 days ago

As did Warren

thebrichexperience.bsky.social•173 days ago

This is so interesting but exciting. Change could be coming … slowly but it’s coming.

hk1988.bsky.social•173 days ago

spaceorcats.bsky.social•173 days ago

In the end, there's shared struggles and injustices that are bigger than our political opinions and favorite media personalities. There is a shared suffering that is a common thread, one that MSM is desperately trying to spin in a direction that isn't classist or a threat to capitalism.

miainstereo.bsky.social•173 days ago

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

balme.bsky.social•173 days ago

The rich/poor contrast is way stronger than the left/right.
There are plenty of issues to unite regular people.
(Min wage- M4A- child credit- universal childcare- libraries)

fionda.bsky.social•173 days ago

the blood thirst for profit of the CEOs of Health Insurance companies is so indiscriminate it transcends any existing partisan lines

heffstl.bsky.social•173 days ago

It cuts across all party lines.

xipro1452000ix.bsky.social•173 days ago

Yeah, wait and see how those same people deal with all the crap trump is about to cut out. They don't even know what they're going to lose but when they do, those dogs will come after his head so fucking fast...

bw97206.bsky.social•166 days ago

I’m disgusted by the MSM hypocrisy, pearl clutching, condemnations of Luigi Mangione. So unless I’m tuned to watch late night shows or a TV series, watching MSM for news has been off the table.

sansnom.bsky.social•173 days ago

One of the best things that could happen for small business in the US is Universal Healthcare. I suspect big business doesn't want us considering it. Even my most conservative friends in business agree the current system hurts them.

moredogs.bsky.social•173 days ago

@sansnom.bsky.social thanks for pointing out that perspective!
