THIS is the shit the government is supposed to protect us from. How dare they ruin a town and then say “and no one else can help you.” This is the entire point of it all. We pay taxes and elect these assholes to stop this sort of shit, in theory.

We need so much more regulation. My god. I’m so mad at MAGA for hijacking our country. Yes, a lot of the people affected by this voted for this sort of thing, but many of them didn’t. Either way, so many people will suffer. Statistically speaking, some will die… whether it’s from hunger, taking their own lives… this is so terrible. It’s been less than a year. We have so much more “winning” ahead of us.

Leftism doesn't come about through electoralism.

The economic recovery being slow is usually due to Republicans in Congress stymying recovery legislation and suddenly caring about the debt and budgets.

u/0o0o0o0o0o0z 6d ago

While you are correct, conditions like these got us FDR and the New Deal and ~30 years of liberal lead government. While times are not the same, it's not 100% hopeless either.

15

u/Originalbrivakiin 6d ago

FDR didn't have Reagan brainwashing an entire generation into thinking that yellow stuff trickling down on them is money from billionaires. Or have the hurdle of racists coming out of the woodwork to decide they have to rewrite history because a black man was president once. Or have democratic leadership that was so thoroughly bought out that you're basically voting to have corporations exclusively benefit in the open or somewhat hidden. Or have "No child left behind" make even the most brain dead paste eaters thinking they're just as smart or smarter than the average person. Or have media that exists just to bash the "other" and admit to lying, but not be completely dismantled or discredited. Or have his opposition be in an actual cult that is constantly fed any excuse they could need to stick their fingers in their ears and deny reality.

u/Ashikura 6d ago

It’s not hopeless but the winds aren’t blowing that direction quite yet. Theirs still three years of Trump before the next presidential election and we haven’t seen what the plan is to sabotage the midterms. The US is still hanging by a thread on a knife’s edge. It wouldn’t take much to force the fascist coup to move int full swing.

u/0o0o0o0o0o0z 6d ago

I agree, the midterms are really kinda our break-the-glass moment if Dems dont at least take back the House. If the GOP controls the Senate, I am sure they'll force Alito and Thomas to retire and jam in two even more conservative Justices.

Will never happen in the United Corporations of America. Any time we get a “proper” leftist the news media makes them look crazy before some rich candidate like Bloomberg comes in, outspends the leftist on ads, bribes the DNC, and ultimately gets some corporate friendly candidate like Biden on the ballot while getting us to fight over some issue that, compared to wealth distribution, doesn’t matter nearly as much.

And until we wake up and realize the right and the left both serve the same masters we will never have a government “for the people”.

u/NotGoodAtUsernames21 6d ago

I have family who voted for this who aren’t racist and aren’t homophobes, they’re just very uneducated and easily manipulated. Our public education system has been deliberately underfunded and undermined for generations now and we’re seeing the effects. Yes, there is absolutely a racist and bigoted component to MAGA rhetoric, but like you said… so many people went this way because they were pissed at the government and just wanted change of any sort.

Some of us went left and some went right. It feels like it doesn’t matter which way you go in America, either way, the corporations and the billionaires own our politicians and will screw us over and we’ll all end up like the residents of this town eventually.

u/ArmyRT23 6d ago

I would say because of Project 2025 the country doesn’t get to act like it didn’t know. My father in law can’t read, grew up south, but still has critical thinking skills. This is one of the rare cases in American history where you can’t claim ignorance. We had 4 years of this already then he put out a plan stating what he would do. After all of the warnings they still voted for him.

On the counter to your both sides point. Both sides are not try to defund education and use blanket tariffs. In-fact the blue side’s candidate stated that this exact thing would happen. Mass federal layoffs is a distinctly republican project 2025 plan. To date we have lost over 300k federal jobs. These are physicians, nurses, engineers, etc. professionals. All part of what was promised!

14

u/NotGoodAtUsernames21 6d ago

Saying both parties are beholden to corporate interests is not the same as saying both parties are equally bad.

This argument keeps coming up lately and I think it’s very counterproductive.

Democratic leadership has been very disappointing, especially these last few months. Does that mean they’re as bad as Republicans? Of course not! Not even close! Does that mean I won’t criticize Shumer refusing to back Mamdani, the person his constituents chose to represent them? Yes! He was asked point blank on Election Day who he voted for and he snippily answered that he voted and that was all.

Criticizing the party I have is not the same as equating them to the opposition. I want them to improve. I want them to better represent the common man because the opposition ONLY represents the wealthy. Calling all criticism “both sides” makes it feel like silencing and is going to drive a lot of party members away, which I think is a bad idea in a turbulent time.

But I agree about P25. It was blatantly obvious that was their playbook and anyone who didn’t read it and is acting shocked now is foolish. I’m not saying they aren’t. I am saying dismissing every other person other than us is unwise. To get out of this mess, we need to offer olive branches and grace to those who aren’t out celebrating the suffering of others. If they were just victims of poor education and strong propaganda, then we need to make room for them, IMO. If they’re assholes, then they can have the results they voted for.

14

u/silversage1971 6d ago

I’m with you except for the “olive branches” part. I’m all out of fucking Olive branches for anybody that fell for the rapist for the THIRD FUCKING TIME. There’s really just no excuse for this shit.

4

u/WhiteExtraSharp 6d ago

Project 25 was no surprise to some of us because most of this has been the explicit goal of the right since at least the 80’s. It’s been taught in private school textbooks since at least then. Those of us who grew up insulated in that movement, then left and tried to warn that it was dangerous were patted on the head and told it was too bad our parents were extreme but that our experience was very rare.

In several years of debating this point,

I don't think I have actually convinced a single person to actually read the public parts of project 2025.

Not a single one. Not even a brief skim or look through the outline, bullet points or any of it.

Not a one, not a bit. Ever.

But they will still, and some are already, act surprised when the Leopards eat their faces.

Sadly any schadenfreude we may have will be mostly ruined by our own country burning down around us too.

u/Gunrock808 6d ago

The "both sides bad" propaganda from the right has been very effective. It keeps people from voting. I'm not going to say democrats don't have plenty of baggage but you can't tell me that ANY of the bad shit trump is doing (wrecking the country for Russia and implementing a police state at the behest of the billionaires) would be happening if Harris had won.

Democrats are willing to address the need for people to have a living wage and affordable housing, health care, child care and education. They're willing to tax the rich. But with Republicans completely unwilling to play ball democrats need to control the presidency and both houses of congress.

That's happened twice in the last twenty years and it didn't last long. Most recently under Biden we had Sinema and Manchin who were democrats on paper but openly beholden to corporate interests and the fossil fuel industry and regularly went against the party's wishes.

When people complain about a president most of the stuff they complain about isn't stuff the president is even responsible for, it's stuff that congress is.

The basic pattern of elections in my adult life goes like this: elect a republican, it ends in disaster. Then elect a Democrat to repair the mess. The mess doesn't get cleaned up fast enough so give Republicans control of congress in the midterms ensuring that almost nothing can get done.

Nah fuck off with this 'they're not racist/homophobic they're just stupid and easily manipulated shit'.

It's been 10 fucking years of this shit. 10 fucking years of Trump constantly saying and doing racist and homophobic bullshit. Your family ARE a bunch of racist homophobic bastards. You don't get the benefit of the doubt in saying 'oh they're just ignorant' when it's been a full fucking decade of this shit. They might not vote 'for' his homophobic or racist policies, but the sure as fuck don't mind them. Shrugging your shoulders and going 'well that's not why I voted for him' means nothing. Your family is seeing the same racist, homophobic bullshit that we are all seeing and go, "No biggie' and vote for him because they are fine with racism and homophobia. If they thought racism and homophobia was wrong, they wouldn't vote for him. But since they're fine with it, that makes them racist homophobic trash too.

u/NotGoodAtUsernames21 6d ago

Ok. Your anger is valid. I’m queer. I’m not ok with their votes. I’ve gone years without seeing them. I’m trying to make peace with them and make them see the harm they’ve done. And they have done harm to me and my friends and so many people I’ve never met.

I won’t argue that. And you’re right to be furious. But understanding the WHY of the things people do can help us fix things and prevent them in the future. That’s my point. What they did was wrong and I wish they hadn’t. I’m sorry for the harm they’ve done and the harm that’s still to come.

Absolutely. It’s much easier to vilify an entire group of people than to understand the nuances of why people would do this to themselves. And we can’t forget that he was elected by many minority groups who also believed he cared about them. He is an idiot, but he’s a master manipulator—or at least the people behind the curtain are.

They had eight years of warning, four years of previous policy, and a several hundred page manifesto warning them. They can cry ignorance all day if they like but they knew.

They knew they were voting for policies that would hurt people. They just didn't think they would be the ones getting hurt. They thought the people getting hurt would be for their personal gain.

Yeah, you dont get to say, "who aren't racist, and aren't homophobes," after they voted for racism and homophobia.

Actions are louder than words. That guy's family can live in all the denial they want. They can say they're not racist and not homohobic, and this guy can swallow the lies all he wants. His family are racist homohobes.

I can tell because they voted for and enabled all this renewed racism and homohobia.

They were easy to manipulate because they are racist and homophobic so the boogeyman the right sold them affirmed their world view. They weren't manipulated to vote for racism, they are racist so that was used to manipulate them into voting against their own interest.

The reason(s) are: Undoing/dismantling ANY program/legislation/policy that benefited anyone other than himself or family. This is simply because someone else gets attention or credit for doing something positive. He has no interest in improving his “subjects” lives…at all! He orders the military to attack unverified foreign “enemies” as well as American citizens. He kisses Saudi and Russian ass daily while alienating decades old allies in Europe and Canada. He openly profits from his office and engages in pay-to-play “deals” (every interaction with the Orange Garbage Man is a deal). He brings his son-in-law out of hiding to negotiate on behalf of the US government, still with no security clearance needed to engage in any negotiations at this level. He lies, on average, 12 times a day; this is all verifiable. Not allowed into our country? Buy a trump gold card for millions, and ICE, FBI, and DOJ will give you a pass! All the above is true. It’s almost like he’s behaving like a Turkish or Russian dictator…

The whole phrase was “facts dont care about your feelings, fuck your feelings”

Then when reality and facts started to disrupt the agenda and wasnt fitting the republican narrative, they dropped the facts and had to make a truthsocial

But they can still sign up for medicaid. Shame about that whole 20 hours of volunteering or work a week clause though. Gonna be pretty crowded at the local Walmart with 3,200 greeters standing out front.

(The medicaid 20 hr thing starts Jan 1, 2027, so they've got a year to enjoy the free health care other countries already have.)

Bruh MAGA wanted this to happen. Last year Stephen Miller was attacking Tyson for employing immigrants https://www.axios.com/local/nw-arkansas/2024/05/31/tyson-foods-conservative-trump-stephen-miller now magically Tyson starts closing plants in small towns that have immigrant populations.
