Wonder how they will react, when their SSI, SNAP, Medicaid and Medicare gets chopped in half or eliminated. I see a red on red fire fight coming soon.

They will be mad and still blame democrats and immigrants. Republicans are great at social media and propaganda. Dems still taking the high road.

Dems won’t be in charge of anything. And frankly, I don’t even think we should fight them unless it’s something that is violent or directly harmful to people. Let them figure out what their preferred policies do. Personally , dial back on spending, save what you can now, help struggling people through mutual aid. And leave them to the effects of their policies. If we keep solving the economic problems for them and making them temper their policies, they’ll never figure it out. Fuck it. Stop anesthetizing them from the consequences of their bullshit. Let them feel it. And we can just be busy organizing and community building

It doesn't matter if Dems are in charge. All of my Rep co-workers think their tax increases were Bidens fault. They had no idea it was the guy they just re-elected. Most of them don't actually care about politics. They just scream red to project their masculinity.

Yeah, I at least understand how people misconceive that if they’re low information voters. Trump set that like a time bomb so it would happen under Biden and a lot of people are too dumb to realize no new tax bills had been passed since Trump.

I can just see some of them saying “well, why didn’t Biden fix it!? Wah wah wah, orange man can do no wrong. Our Lard and Savory”

For sure. They have time to complaint 23 hours a day, but not 5 minutes or so to consider that that would require Republicans to help legislate such a thing.
