I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is
All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Like in the 1930s Germany blamed everyone else about their punishment measures from starting WW1
Americans will pretend to themselves that the free world is unfair to them and start a war
Just like Russia does every 10 years or so.
It’s Putin tactics all over again
Who asked why their army was bombing Yemen?
FAFO. 🔨👈🏼
OK OK OK OK I get it
Geez
E X A G G E R A T I N G is a word
Google it
(But seriously thanks for the correction 😊 ).
No one in the world is buying american products
This is like a bad episode of some reality TV show....
I wish our country wasn't so racist and misogynistic. This wouldn't even be an issue.
Dump is on a war path and burning the country down.
They're cheaper
Minimum wage was then $3.35 an hour. I made $3.50. I found a job close to home at $4.50.
Not everyone is a cultist.
A bored statist could even make a pie chart of how much of each dystopia Trump&co have their fingers in. Sad the idea missed Pi Day but there's Fool Day.
Ps. The first few episodes are the toughest to watch 😉
#JustSayin 🇺🇸💩🔥🐘💨🤦🏻♂️
Not you Mark, but just an observation.
The silence from the majority of the privileged, who won’t be personally affected, won’t lose their businesses is telling.
this is actually a fair, neutral warning that is in no way an attempt at anything other than 'your pocketbook is affected by decisions and laws'
come on now
Can't fix stupid.
Live in a rural city in Pa- Red.
I'm already seeing people losing jobs they should not be let go from (granted not on a high scale vs. larger cities) but it's evident.
Fearing our one rural hospital will shut down. Closest to us, 1.15-1:30 hrs if closes.
We have been thrown so much at us at once, it's hard to prioritize and that's part of the plan.
They make me sick, which is prob. part of their plan too... only the strong survive, eh?
So, if they have to be sacrificed and used as a tool to end their ungodly & unjust domination, then so be it. Yada, yada, yada.
Being cruel is prob a badge of honor??
Until they collide with reality.
He never replied.
It will happen. It will happen when someone is pushed too far. And they are pushing very hard.
My biggest concern is the dimwitted falling for it again by having JD Vance run next time instead of Trump. Hopefully people won't ignore the connection.
But not everyone. I think some red voters are waking up with Trump hangovers.
The US isn't worth dealing with.
Especially Not the small independant farms!!
We need them more than you realize
I was being facetious. Just so hard to believe people vote against themselves over and over again.
There are children who don't know that french fries are potatoes!!
Like when you build a highway and need to buy up land?
It’s just cool to see kids understand stuff and how their minds make connections. Even the bad stuff.
They don't see handouts to themselves as handouts. And R's are good at designing those handouts so that it is easy to pretend they are something else. Nevermind that they are a direct consequence of supporting Trump
Not convinced it actually will. The desire to deceive yourself to avoid facing the possibility you might have been wrong, particularly when it is something core to your personal identity, is strong.
Being wrong can literally hurt, and denying reality feels better.
In my experience, people are excellent at ignoring the elephant in the room. Even when that elephant is shitting on their heads.
They're sheep.
i.e. 25% of bourbon is bought by Ontario and Kentucky is already laying off people
As far as I can tell everybody who was a repub and who is currently hanging out in dem territory, would still be voting repub except for Trump, since it’s policies they do like.
So why hang out here, is the question I asked Mr. Cuban.

Thank you very much
You "feelings" about what folks deserve may change about #rural voters. 😕
THEY ARE HEADING INTO A HUGE DEPRESSION WITH NO SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE, MEDICAID, FEMA, SNAP.
Joe Biden, Obama and the Clintons, of course!

The amusing part is that, as usual, the citizens will end up being the ones who suffer.
combine into a huge economic disaster
We’re pretty despicable as a population.
We put him there and enable him to act like this.
Hell, I hate us.
That money goes, and so will the local hospitals (quickly) and the local doctors (more slowly).
Democrats need to have a daily presser bringing GOP/Trump cuts to the forefront and explain how those cuts will affect people in their everyday lives.
Months?
Days?
The only question I have for the politicians out there: How much money are you gonna get to make off the backs of the suffering of Americans?
Stop citizens United that allows unfettered bribery in our politics.
And, they were warned!
They all deserve what they get.
Even the Kamala voters who couldn’t convince enough people to go to the toll booths. They all failed.
And their taxes go up.
And they lose their jobs.
And the price of everything goes sky high.
I feel bad for the blue voters that it's going to affect, so I'm going to do what I can to stay hydrated off of Maga Tears. I reserve my liberal tears for my crying teary laughter looking at the #Tesla stock.
Truly, do you really think they are going to keep social security going?
They want it to fail so they can privatize it, ie: put it into some ponzi crypto scam or give it to the oligarchs.
Welfare checks for the food growers, everyone else suffers.
(I ran out of characters) they are manipulated into voting against their interests. It's an easy formula
❤️💙❤️
They figured wrong
Everyone that voted for him spent all last year saying “yeah, but it didn’t the first time” when presented with what he was saying he’d do & what the economic impact would be
Are we kinda screwed by GOP led state govts...prob at least while the Trump machine still exists. But if there's manip SOMEONE will screw up and that's when we get em

Still 100 percent Trumper though. No change.
It's so different now.
I have been dealing with patients who are so scared & really worried about what's coming at them like a huge freight train.
Fuck those fuckers! Studies, medicine, Medicaid cuts, local resources cut already.
It's breaking my heart into shattered little shards.
Oddly, I have a nurse sister who is all on board for Trump. Makes no sense at all, except for the racism. She hates pretty much anyone who isn’t a clone of her. And she takes care of people!

When will it end?!
They are either conspicuously stupid or a despicable lot who sinisterly just don’t give a damn about this country or the citizens in it.
Republicans do not care about their constituents once they have gained their vote.
Then Marshall law and blue cities will be occupied.

But just yesterday you were all like, "look, there's an entire generation of twits living in mom's basement with $5000 in bitcoin..!" So like, they should be cool, right?
The only good thing is that these people have guns and get violent when they feel like they have nothing to lose.
It will be a MAGAT that finally sends him to the Lower Room.
Remember, the Nazi's took away the German citizens guns also.
Every day.
For almost 10 years.
Willful ignorance gets no sympathy.
The right has never flinched in their decades long effort to turn us into the boogeymen and to blame for everything that goes sideways.
You're going to have a binary choice at some point.

America is multicultural, multilingual, multiracial, and multi-religious. There is no escaping that.
I wish people would get off of their proverbial blocks to really see and venture out. Perhaps their perceptions about others would change especially in relation to themselves.
You’d think by now they’d say “wait a minute; how many rabbits you got in that hat?”.

It’s an important watch, imho.

Here’s why I’m asking that: I don’t feel like LGBTQI+ rights were shoved at me. They can now get married to each other. Oh, well. They can be riders on each other’s health insurance. Oh well. No biggie.
Sand Creek or recent night club killings.It strays seared in one's head.
I get intellectually but then on a deeply human level I don’t. Perhaps that’s the empathy.
Then, also, I’m African American. I come from a long line of people who’ve rights have been denied and we’ve always had to fight for those civil rights—hell, personhood. So, I see others as having basic human rights as something that should be normalized.
It worked like a charm, and only took just a few years.
It used to be that the Repub party had some things in common with rural voters - now it is a cult and they are in regardless.
Is this the "little pinch" that T. said we'd all be okay with?
That’s why I say that the pain of Trumpism must arrive at their doorsteps, and even then they will drink the kool aid!
We need to cut the federal welfare to them and fix our own areas on our own. Otherwise, they will damage us too.
So, cut my taxes and cut the programs that largely go to rural areas in red states. Be my guest! My state and city will prosper.
I’m actually in favor of it. Enjoy the pain!
Lots of those people depend directly or indirectly on government spending. Cutting it will make their incomes shrinks and will cause people to abandon their towns since gov’t money is their lifeline.
“Biden inflation” was post-COVID inflation, a worldwide problem. Trump is self-inflicted!
Maybe we’ll be fortunate enough for them to come and save our asses again and we’ll owe them one. Just like old times 🥲
Problem is, the problem lies in your own country now. Could you build some kind of alliance with the British so we're encouraged to intervene just for the sake of annoying 'em ?
Grateful for it, though.
It most
Certainly will.
Vote & volunteer while you still can.
This has got to stop. He’s hurting the most vulnerable. People will die. There is no more belt tightening the lowest income tax brackets can do.
You know. Eating. The. Rich.
Granted, nurseries are a public service; “Youth groups” are just another excuse to legally indoctrinate minors. We should ban those too, unless informal (bible study).
You've got to be kidding.
In the 1950-60s, Alabama would have shut down Black churches. Dexter Ave. Baptist in Montgomery, Brown's Chapel in Selma, 6th Ave. Baptist in Birmingham, and more.
The idea being churches should be primarily a means to promote public good and social work over their religious dogma. A multi-state church represents a huge liability under this model.
New political slogan!

No shit.
"going to be" ? It's already hear. And the people so gullible to buy into Trump, Musk, and all the others didn't stop to think how this was going to affect EVERYONE - except for .... billionaires. 🤔 Say ... you're a billionaire, right*?
*rhetorical
So?
Just reason it out in every single state and you will see what is inevitably going to happen to the economy.
You cannot put this toothpaste back in the tube.
We will hit bottom before it’s over, unless Democrats get serious. No sign yet!

Trump promised them a better economy, et cetera, et cetera, and he’s taking everything away from them.
Those purges do also tend to sweep up external enemies like us, of course.
The only abomination they have left unspoken: Depopulation is their goal. It’s obvious if you watch what they are doing.

The past few years have basically been priming people, making any accusation against them appear as a 'tit-for-tat' response.
The unrest that is being felt around this country is very clear. Hell, even I never thought I'd be sitting here at 29 almost 30 years old, scared about my future.

When are Americans going to do something about it??
Asking from Canada, where there is a fight among the states to be the 14th province or territory.
After that incident I broke up with him 😳 cause…well… 🤔 😜
At some point your view seems to be missing something because “being out of touch” with X voter has gotten liberals no where.
Of you are MAGA, you are either stupid or a fascist.
Take your pick.
Would I jump into the ocean & drown in annoyance because someone disrespected my wife or mother? I will never be a useful idiot.
Wake up, the ultra wealthy keep u commoners divided while they r looting the treasury.
Always vote for your interest….
Love?
I’m saying you can lead an ass to water but you can’t make it drink.
It’s a cult. Ticks every fucking box.
Ask former cultists if MAGA doesn’t.
i.e. a chainsaw betwixt the legs.
So, your observation may well be true, but it does not reflect the overall picture.
flags than American flags
Turkeys voting for christmas. I mean Democrats largely are qualified, highly skilled. Cuts are hitting Red states economically more than Blue.
Are you tired of "winning" yet??? How does it taste?
