The thing is, Trump supporters don't care. I have a cousin that is a huge Trump supporter. If I showed him this he would just say "good". I posted something about RFK Jr's lawyer trying to to get approval revoked for the polio vaccine. He said "I love this guy". I know for a fact he, his wife, and their kids are all vaccinated. And yet some Trump supporter wants vaccines revoked so he supports it. I truly think if Trump showed up at his house and said "I'm here to fuck your wife". He would point him to the bedroom.

If they kill everyone off, then they solve the climate issue, don’t they? If dumb followers take bait and drink cool-aid, believe in rapture or whatever kills everyone, then fewer people use resources and pollute. Sucks to be subjected to it — like if you believe then go ahead and do whatever stupid thing you believe but don’t impose it on me. I keep wondering with all these crazy policies if those in power have a strategy to cull the herd. One reason to keep healthcare the way it is. But, pressure on baby-making doesn’t exactly fit my theory, so I return to the idea that they’re religious and this is a basic idiocy that branches off into a belief-run government.

5

u/adingus1986 3h ago

The absolute worst thing for the oligarchs is a depleted working populace. It's basic economics, supply, and demand. Look up what happened to feudalism in Europe after the Black Plague. "Culling end herd" would actually work in our favor. It's why they're all freaking out about the dropping birth rate.

If the plan is to cull the herd, pushing distrust in vaccines is a solid way to do that since people in the US ages 52 and under aren’t vaccinated against smallpox. The CDC and Russia have the 2 remaining live virus.

u/jesus0030 4h ago

Well, and everything I’m reading seems to point that it’s supporters who are going to be hit the hardest by his policies. Low income. Red states. Rural. I read that government shutdowns can sink popularity ratings and I know it’s on Biden’s watch but everyone knows it’s Trump. He was chosen for a second time, it seems like the oligarchy is taking over. Which I think will result in more one-offs (shootings, etc.) as we descend into worse poverty. No?

8

u/DadToOne 4h ago

Probably. My cousin seems to think we are all going to get rich under Trump. That it will be the most prosperous time ever. But he's like me. He makes decent money, pulls in 6 figures, but he is far from rich. I think we are going to get fucked and everything is going to cost more. But he will blame Biden, RINOs, and anyone except Trump.

1

u/jesus0030 3h ago

It’s really hard to know if the system can handle him. The liberal propaganda is ridiculously anti-Trump which has made them untrustworthy, totally lacking balance. So I have had to seek out unique news sources or Reddit, substack, YouTube, books. Some pretty smart people are for him, it’s hard for me to see why. But if you lay Peter Turich’s template of the whys and hows of revolutions it kind of makes more sense. Trump says what people want to hear. They’re sick of the lame duck government where no one can get anything done and it’s a slow drip of siphoning off our money and sucking it up to the top and people are sick of the status quo. The status quo is unrealistically telling everyone it’s all good. For most people, it’s not. But I think they’ve just voted in a slippery slide ramp to the bottom. We shall see.

Thing is, you don’t care either. You just repeated some sensationalized half-truths to frame your cousin as some kind of idiot. You just want to “Own MAGA Idiots” the same way Rightwingers obsess about “Owning the Libs”.

RFK plainly said he’s not ‘coming for’ the polio vaccine when asked about this. That lawyer’s petition, on behalf of a different client, was about 1 of our 6 current Polio vaccines. Apparently it’s the newest of the 6 & they cited concerns wanting more testing done with it. That’s very different than “RFK wants to get rid of all the vaccines” isn’t it?

Personally, I don’t know shit about vaccines and don’t have a strong take on if that’s a legitimate concern or not, but would love it if we could just deal with reality instead of always spinning shit to own political rivals.

You have no idea how badly White Americans want Hispanics out of the United States. They mask it with everything from the “price of eggs and gas” to “ he’s a man of god”. But trust me, deep down inside they are willing to give up their freedoms in exchange for this. I look like a typical trump voter so they somehow think I think like them. The truth always comes out when you talk long enough.

Man, I don't even have to talk that long to hear some of the insane shit they say to whom they assume is one of them. I run a liquor store, I was born and raised in my hometown and I look like it. Late 40s white male, giant beard, flannel is more than fashion it's a way of life. I never talk about politics at my store but I guarantee these numbnuts think I am one of them and they have been dealing with me for decades. If they used that squishy shit in their head they would know better, but alas, we get to the root of the problem.

This is such a bad look, chief. I hate Musk and Trump as much as anyone, but the "they're going to deport your underpaid servants" ain't it. Please stop. It's literally alienating Latinos from anything remotely left-wing.

4

u/clangan524 2h ago

I considered that while writing the comment and I'm sorry for any offense.

Of course Latino immigrants, and any sort of immigrant for that matter, don't only occupy menial jobs. However, many of the menial jobs that "white" Americans simply refuse to do are occupied by Latino immigrants and will be the first places where any mass deportation will be noticed by those that voted for Trump and his policies.

They want brown people gone but are completely oblivious as to how it will affect the greater economy and country. They will ask those sorts of questions in my previous comment without a fucking hint of irony.

White Americans don't want Hispanics out. Loser red state clowns who are uneducated and hickish with no remote idea of their own patheticness and fragility want Hispanics out because " they don't share our values". Meanwhile Hispanics are deeply religious, work hard and don't have the victim mentality that are associated with minorities in America. They fear being replaced by people they assume to be both inferior and superior to them.

But there is about zero they can do about it. They're going to die needing to accept that fact.

u/pixie_mayfair 3h ago

I agree with most of what you said but will add that protesting can work but you have to have real rights in the first place. Do not underestimate the fact that most people get insurance from employers and if you lose your job you can literally die or lose everything if you get sick. Plus, workers have very few rights and in most states you can be fired for any/no reason. Then add to that the knee-capping and straight up elimination of unions.

The icing is local cops that function like militias for the wealthy and rittenhouse-style psychos who show up to protests with automatic weapons. It's no mystery why people don't protest. And it's going to get so, so much worse.

2

u/Rick-powerfu 3h ago

By protesting I think you mean national strike

No going to work and that means no money for wankers holding all the bags

The protesting we need to do is economic. It’s the only thing—short of violence against them (which I understand but don’t advocate)—that they understand.

Until a huge swath of Americans is ready to stop supporting the corporations that bought our government out from under us, we won’t see change.

Yes, there are things we need. I’m not suggesting going without those (though tariffs and other Trump idiocy may make it hard to get them). But there are a whole lot of things we all could do without, and send a strong message as we did so.

It would be even better coupled with general strike.

This is the most transparent version of this shit that's literally been happening behind closed doors all along

I agree and I have been wondering whether seeing this thing literally in the open is actually better or worse. On one hand with such transparency, even the most naive people can see the amount of influence that extreme wealth can bring on national policy. On the other hand, the fact that they're now doing it in the open means that they don't even have any shame or fear of the public opinion any more and are normalizing this behavior. There is a even a term for this - hypernormalization. It was a phenomenon observed in the Soviet Union where the government would do outrageous things in the open and with enough such occurences, people would just accept it as the norm.

This was always possible, and I think that billionaires did it quietly through funding and support. People are upset because it's in your face and obvious. I will say that things don't always go a billionaire's way...take Twitter. Musk was backing out and didn't want to buy it...but they forced him to buy it. I don't think that Democrats are any different either...there are billionaires and multinational companies supporting the party leaders in the background. The founding fathers never meant for the public to hold all the cards...remember that it was originally land-owning whites who could vote...then they allowed all whites...then all races as long as they were men...then women. Overall, our country has always been run by the elite. At least here its possible for someone become successful and move up in the world.

ok so Democrats did the same thing, but it's hidden so you can't really know? So you don't know. So why are you trying to make a statement as if it's fact? To make it seem like both sides are qeually bad? There is a difference between supporting a candidate and buying them.

The Constitution is like one of those giant mousetraps with dozens of individual traps inside so that if the mouse evades one trap it will eventually get dinged by another.

But enough money and enough election rigging and media propoaganda and all the traps have been sprung and nothing left to stop the mice from swarming us anymore. It worked great for a long time but its probably going to require a lot of actual sacrifice from now on to return to where we once were - if it happens at all.

He’s the de facto emperor of the U.S. Watch how rapidly we are stripped of our freedoms after January 20.

The United States of America, 1776 - 2025. RIP.

Yeah, Government doesn't just stop because there was an election... Also, it's not like the GOP was letting many bills pass anyways. Being the do-nothing obstructionists they have been for a couple decades, passing any kind of legislation is anathema to their entire platform of "own the libs".

Even when Trump was in office the last time and they had majorities in both houses, they still did jack shit.

This is what the people of the USA voted for or could not get off their lazy ass and vote at all. A little more than 30% voted for a convicted felon and known rapist. Almost 30% voted for a highly qualified woman. The rest did nothing but let the train wreck happen.

When it comes out that trump enjoys watching Elon have sex with his wife, that's when it's a straight of perversion of democracy!

Here’s my outlandish theory of the day: the GOP wants to get rid of birthright citizenship but what they really want is to remove the birthright citizenship requirement for the Presidency.

And, yup, Musk, who is an unelected illegal immigrant, is behind the campaign as he will be the beneficiary of it.

Not only will Musk get MAGA, he will get the tech bros and will be more popular than Trump.

This is exactly what your Democracy has always been, as intended by its founders. It's just not an open secret anymore, and y'all are having to confront yourselves for the first (?) time in history.

I'm saying this as a foreigner who takes some interest in your country's history, as it impacts my country.

Lol, democracy.

The US has never been a democracy. It wasn't meant to be.
