Hooray, I'm several of those.
How did we get to this, I thought the progress he have made would have actually stuck in some people's heads (I've voters). Unfortunately, some people don't understand what the progress was for because all they think about are their wallets and control of others
Poor is the most loaded word here. Less than $300K a year is probably the cutoff.
... or actually dependent on social security or medicare ...

Looks like Trump is openly proposing ethnic cleansing in Gaza also.
Oh, you'll be fine as long as you don't have to work to live. If you are rich enough to live of the work of others.
Everyone else is fucked. The plutocrats are going to make sure of that.
Early every year the seeds are growing / unseen, unheard, they lie beneath the ground. / would you know before their leaves are showing / that with weeds all your garden will abound?
If you close your eyes, stop your ears / shut your mouth how can you know? / The weeds you cannot see may not be there / the seeds you didn't hear my never grow.
In January you still have the choice / you can cut the weeds before they start to bud / if you leave them to grow high, they'll silence your voice / in December, you may pay with your blood.
Close your eyes, stop your ears, /close your mouth and take it slow. / Let others take the lead while you bring up the rear / and later you can say you didn't know.
Every day, another vulture takes flight; / there's another danger born every morning. / In the darkness of your blindness, the beast will learn to bite. / How can you fight when you don't recognize the warning?
Close your eyes, stop your ears / shut your mouth of course you know. / if weeds are let to be without your hand to fear / then what else can be? Of course they'll grow.
Today, you may earn a living wage / tomorrow you may be on the dole / though there's millions going hungry, you needn't disengage; / it's them, not you who's fallen in the hole.
The weeds are all around us and they're growing / it'll soon be too late for the knife / if you leave them on the wind that around this world is blowing / you'll pay for your silence with your life.
So close your eyes, stop your ears, / bite your tongue and don't you dare. / 'cuz if it happens here, they might not come for you / if they're sure you really never cared.
And just like everybody else, you forgot the Native Americans.
You know, the ones that they're trying to remove their citizenship based on some 140-year-old law that has already been superseded by other better law?
One of my best friends in childhood was Duwamish, and his family had it rough. Haven't seen him in 50 years, and all that was forgotten come meme-making time. I'm guilty as charged, sorry.
I think that society becomes hopeless at some point. Ruled by 5th-generation lizard monsters. You can't fight that.
Attend to the health of your own soul. Cultivate your own garden. Buy a gun.
And yet there is so many people thinking they will make an exception for them.
"I'm one of them, surely they will spare me as I'm part of the group, right?"
schadenfraude, we're gonna live of schadenfraude for 4 long years
Inertia is a hell of a drug
Nobody's going to be fine. Tariffs on our 3 biggest trade partners are going to raise the prices of nearly everything by 25%
Who could possibly have the foresight to know that making things more expensive won’t lower the prices?
If we're lucky.
At least he's not raising the effective tax rate on the bottom 95% of.Americans.... right?
You gotta be shitting, right? That’s how he financed the last tax cut for the rich.
And mass deportations are going to lead to food shortages and massive price hikes at the grocery store.
They will imprison people and make them work the fields.
Nobody’s going to be fine.
Not even Elon?
Promise?
Weird way to make the economy better for working people. Hmmm
I've always considered Musk to have the look of the Innsmouth about him; pale clammy skin, wide eyes clumped above his guppy jaw. I hope he will be lured by the ancestral calls and return to the murky depths in due course.
Even if you don’t match any of them… worry
Yeah nothing is off the table. A bunch of incompetent bootlickers backing an elderly dimwit conman without any serious checks or balances? Recipe for disaster in any number of ways.
Magats
I’m one of the good ones
I'm not even in the US and I'm worrying. Especially due to the fact that I'm both Moroccan and queer (specifically aroace). Guess I'm not visiting the US at all during his term.
Don't visit us. Don't travel here. They need to understand there's financial consequences to making this country unwelcoming.
Ace of hearts here:
At least us ace folk can hide more easily. Nobody knows I'm ace unless I specifically tell them. I don't hide it - it's just not a topic that comes up. I'm just a single dude as far as most people know.
It's not really as easy for me because I've been a victim of sexual harassment quite a few times, mostly by men (I am male). Classmates keep resenting me for "not acting normal" and have accused me of misogyny and being gay. Parents called my asexuality "not normal at all". Hell, my dad accused me of atheism simply for not wanting children. I just can't stand being bullied by society all the time.
What if I’m an atheist but wealthy? Like how much do I need to donate to be safe?
I'm going to be good all the way. I'm happy being dead knowing I'm not on the same plane of existence as these douche nozzles.
Well, not soon, I hope.
That's my escape route, too. I'm bloody old, and hoping to be dead before the complete collapse of everything. But I'm healthy, and Trump is really floorboarding us toward the end, so...
hoping to be dead before the complete collapse of everything
Same here. I'm also super-happy to be childless, as I couldn't imagine how it would feel to know that my children will have to face this shit.
I've apparently seen the best the world has to offer. "Living in the lap of luxury" technology provides (excusing all the nightmares) and I'm not impressed. We can deal with all our external physical needs apparently but lord help us if we try to address the deep hurt and suffering we cause one another everyday.
But how can a non existent being be happy?
How can it be anything?
Sounds great to me.
Always two, there are. No more. No less. A Master and an apprentice.
Or get sick!
It's there right in the middle of it all.
Or need to see an optometrist!
Why make the orange one red and the red one orange?
Judge them not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character, which for both of them is shit.
Nah, Zionist Jews are safe, the christofascists need them for their end of times nonsense.
The antizionist jews are screwed though. But they’ll probably get rounded up with the rest of the political prisoners for being political rather than Jewish.
Wha abou forinners??
Forerunners are fine

Over reacting and exaggerating. Wow.
I’m golden. I don’t need to speak up. /s
Well I at least made it all the way to the end of the list before I got nabbed… well almost to the end after I looked again. Pretty much the the last three.
ah thank god
What are you saying? That contacting the police is insufficient for someone's personal safety and defense?
Perhaps the democrats should reconsider their anti gun policies then.
Lmfao.
Magaland is filled with gun nuts
Liberal land is filled totalitarian anti-gun policies
In a civil war, fasciam is winning
The only thing that can stop a fascist with a gun
is an Anti-fascist militia
Liberal land is filled totalitarian anti-gun policies
Hate to break it to you but just wanting some good gun law reforms does not make liberal land bereft of guns.
Lots of liberals own firearms. It's just not something we conflate our whole personality around but plenty of people are here who are armed antifascists. Even if they won't call themselves antifa because trump and maga turned that into something it isn't.
Incredibly, the republicans were right all along
Democrats arent leftists. They are right leaning centrist neo liberals. Marx said it best; any attempt to disarm the workforce should be frustrated by anymeans including force if necessary.
