but matt stoller told us that vance/hawley/trump republicans were serious populist antitrust crusaders poised to continue the legacy of lina khan

Matt Stoller is a (stupid) pervert for anti-monopoly stuff.

Didn't you know that Trump took one look at a photo of Michelle Obama and W laughing and decided no populist revolution will ever be allowed?

It would be awful if any of his supporters really needed this medication and couldn’t get it now

Big Pharma getting a bonus with their tax cuts.

I mean if some of them can't get their medicine, then they can't vote at the midterms. Maybe it's a good thing?

There are those of us dependent on that medication. And believe it or not we are allies.

I voted for your benefit. Blame the ones who also need it but are too dumb to know they are voting against their best interest. Which is the majority of the country now.

ax10m.bsky.social•41 days ago

I blame no one and I blame everyone. The reality is Americans as a whole. Would rather fight themselves then work towards progress. People don't want to accept the underlying racism. Okay I understand. Just understand now that my choices in how to deal with people that support this are limited.

Because some of this just recently happened (the costs were just lowered) people haven’t seen the cost drop, so they will notice this change, unfortunately.

karlbode.com•41 days ago

maybe they'll notice the eight million other trump policies that will screw them over the next 4+ years

peggyschaffer.bsky.social•41 days ago

Maybe. But the Trump team has been really good at blaming their policy impacts on someone else.

karlbode.com•41 days ago

yep. We'll see how far the propaganda stretches.

He did. So, we need to understand exactly what this means so people can be educated. It’s not enough to just be shocked and outraged.
