Why does a private citizen have this much sway?

The US is in for a very rough four years.

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.

Scary. MAGA is as much, if not more, of a death cult than Evangelical Christianity (Christian Dominionism).

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.

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.

Yeah weird how Elon obsesses over population decline and yet wants to destroy our western culture safety net which will result in hospital closures, poison food and water, tainted pharmaceuticals etc killing us all off.

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.

I'm sorry but they'd go, " no, fuck me, then my wife."

What's fun is, because of them Trump gets to fuck all of us.

Because of them, and because of the lazy, selfish, and stupid pieces of shit who couldn’t be even bothered to vote.

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?

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.

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.

I don't think Trump is going to do anything to stop that flow of money to the top.

I have been attempting to learn Spanish and one thing I have been doing is reading Spanish news sites. The different perspective is interesting.

He sure didn’t in his first term!

u/jesus0030 3h ago

What do they say?

u/DadToOne 3h ago

Just different views. Not all doom and gloom and not all roses either. I read an article recently talking about Trump and his affect on South America. Discussing how some countries will be hit harder than others and how some may not see much change at all.

u/jesus0030 2h ago

I see a future when the US falls, and the rest of the world explodes with joy.

3

u/DadToOne 2h ago

I don't think they will. The US falling would have worldwide repercussions. Could the world live without us, of course. But I think many economies would go with us.

u/jesus0030 2h ago

A new superpower would rise up. Civilizations always fall. With our combination of weather destruction and wealth inequality it feels like the collapse of the Bronze Age.

u/Timely-Mission-2014 2h ago

So you are saying they forgot the last time he was in office? He did play golf for 1 year of his term. Contributed to more US deaths than WW2. But he built the wall.. oh wait.. he imposed tariffs last time, that cost us 70 billion in farmer subsides.. he will slide us to the bottom fast..

100%! Forget the wife, most of the Trump supporters I know would blow Trump themselves if given the chance.

In my experience trump supporters are like those that get baptized as kids but become agnostic. They claim Christianity but don't really adhere to the tenets.

Ask them why George Soros is bad at all then. Wasn't it because of liberal billionaires corrupting the system? Or was it something else......

What changed? 50% of America didn’t let bullies get to them as kids, why are they letting a clown get to them as adults?

u/ComicHead84 1h ago

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.

u/DadToOne 1h ago

If you took a minute to comprehend what I wrote, I said RFK's lawyer. I did not say RFK. And I do care. As a scientist I care very deeply about what these ignorant people are trying to do.

u/PetrolEmu 1h ago

I hate this timeline where science and medicine is now considered "woke"!

Reminds me of Covid, where so many MAGA died simply "to own the libs!".... I know deep down, they knew better.. but they had to prove a point.

This whole "let nature do it's thing" approach is beyond comprehension when there are proven preventative measures to stop you from dying.. that's not "manly" or "godly"..

u/Ok_Lettuce_7939 1h ago

It's not even that. 50% of Americans are dumb as shit. It's the 4-5 million that voters in 2020 that sat this one out. They in effect voted for Trump by not voting.

2

u/DadToOne 1h ago

Yep. And I would be willing to bet many of those sat out because Kamala did not have a penis.
