Trump needs to be scared of his supporters, he doesn't realize how close they are to waking up to his shenanigans. If the price of eggs goes up just one more dollar the MAGAs will take to the streets!

Except the child like adults who put those up everywhere are so deep in the con they can't tell up from down. I mean his butt monkey supporters are actively being grifted by their president via meme coins... I just got a bad feeling that like most other crazy right wing authoritarian movements of the past this one won't end with his supporters waking up and abandoning him over the price of eggs.

What kind of mushrooms?

It produces idiots and grifters.

That and Trump made at least three different attempts (that we know of) to remain in office last time. Fake electors, find those Georgia votes, and an actual attack on the Capitol. The GOP and her voters then spent four years squawking about election security and fraud. Their jackass right wing media spent time revamping white replacement theory... so they have to on some level understand democracy and voting.

So what do the big on the rule of law real Americans do? They vote for the only candidate that tried to disenfranchise a whole shit ton of American voters. It is absolutely wild that so many domesticated standard Americans failed this very very basic test.

This is why they are shoveling so much money into loyal robots.

You can't pay taxes in crypto.

The GOP are sending those back to the individual states so they can decide.

Of course Democrats care about working class people. The party is just currently run by a bunch of overly educated elites that don't have an interest in listening to the workers. Because when they do listen they hear complaints that are all over the place. The Dems moved to the right a long while ago, and around the globe liberal parties are all facing major setbacks, and our liberal party here in America is farther right than most of our democratic peers. My point is that neither of our political parties will ever do what you are asking for without being forced to action by the people.

Except our electorate is so broken that 30+% of them voted for the billionaire party and are waiting patiently with their hands cupped for that sweet trickle down. Except they are more than likely about to get austerity before they get dental coverage. I really don't know how to get through to some of these people, they either don't understand a ton or have fundamentally different values. Values that are in opposition to the basics of a liberal democratic system. Part of me wants to shake every one of the taxes are theft post tea party MAGA clowns and take them on a tour of where the real theft is... like say any of the multiple private space companies that launch rich assholes into orbit and sadly bring them back.

A big part of the problem is the underclass republican supporters are just little authoritarian tyrants themselves. Given the chance they are all too ready to pull the ladder up behind them.

I like blaming Biden and all but let's be real we are in this mess because a bunch of the people that occupy the underclass with us are actively fighting against us and for the rich ass rulers.

Allowed to get rolling... who is going to stop it? The republicans control the entire federal government.

A billion dollars per violation or total?

I think it matters because this election was one more nail in the neo-liberal coffin. I don't think the reactionary response is very good though. Instead of saying hey those rich ass rent seekers are taking too much of our economic pie the electorate picked the guy scapegoating immigrants. Historically this is probably a bad path. Personally I'm not a fan of the right wing authoritarians, and sadly the competition is going to be them fucking up not anyone challenging them outright.

Which could just be a natural outcome of our political system. Because, I am not sure that a representative democracy that allows rampant unchecked capitalism to buy our government, will ever be the check on power we need.

This is why we need an Earth week not just a day. Also, I live in Minnesota and it is the same here every year without fail the first snow just highlights how quickly people forget how to drive in snow.

If the strategy is teaching people basic media literacy and critical thinking skills then we should do it. Fund the program by taxing all the "entertainment" news companies.

East?

Well, we got a group of Trumpers that are so hell bent on making sure other people's lives are worse. So they are taking us all down with them. These guys have managed to put a professional anti-vaxxer in our federal healthcare system. Then they wonder why their healthcare is shit, costs much money, and don't work good.

Get her more attractive food. I'll see myself out.

What did you think of the Warcraft movie?

12 year old me thought it was anti freeze, but I could be wrong I never opened one.
