Culling population through survival of the fittest...

It's becoming increasingly clear that the goal of MAGA leadership and many fellow fascist-leaning leaders around the world is to reduce world population by making living conditions and the ability to pay the cost of living impossible, enabling endless war and conflict, and in Trump's case denying the existence of global warming. Rather than doing the hard work to make the planet habitable and living conditions work for everyone, the new Trump cabinet would rather grift, party, play golf, and eliminate Federal institutions. This trend should be particularly alarming to the low-income MAGA base that have been misled into putting Trump in power.

Medical Care

  • Not requiring child immunization and encouraging people not to get vaccinated will lead to major outbreaks of disease causing death, as happened in Samoa after RFK Jr. travelled there.

  • Cutting NIH research will reduce future cures for disease.

  • Privatizing medicare may ultimately lead to higher costs with fewer options.

  • Treating women as second-class citizens who should stay at home to take care of children that were not planned will make it much more difficult for many families to survive. Expect to see more homeless, including those children.

Economy
  • Trade wars and forcing undocumented workers to leave will increase inflation, including food costs and much of what you can buy at Walmart.

  • Eliminating or reducing social security will make it more difficult for the elderly and people with disabilities to survive. Maybe the solution for this will be to reduce restrictions on assisted suicide?

War and Conflict
  • Plans for corrupting leadership at the Pentagon and the FBI will lead to the use of the FBI and military against US citizens, including anyone who dares to criticize the autocrat.

  • Pardoning Jan. 6th rioters will encourage more violence against the Left and its leadership, and Congress and the Judicial System in general.

Global Warming
  • "Drill baby drill" may be Trump's solution for Wall Street, but as the world's second leading polluter of CO2 we should be seeing increased worldwide flooding and damage from storms, not to mention worsening hurricanes and weather extremes in areas where this is becoming more of a problem.

After 35 years of walking on concrete at GM, everything seems to have given out at once. Took over a year for SSDI, which drained me. My children took me aside and said I’d never be homeless. Still crying thinking about it.

This country may never come back and I’m frightened.

10. That's exactly what it is. Trump imagines himself

to be an übermensch like the ridiculous pictures of him as a slim muscleman. His inner circle of policy makers and backers view themselves as superior human specimens, too, either for intelligence, wealth, or physical health and strength. No one else matters to them.

They are like a holographs, projecting an ideal image, but hollow inside.

Well stated, well organized, and to the point.

Perhaps you could make more OPs.

... but only because there are so many of them.

All the Social Darwinists will be dead, as it should be. They've got the biggest targets on their backs all the way down to the most pathetic of them.

Humans are social creatures. Empathy for others is our greatest strength. Those without empathy will not survive. The horror is that they will take down a lot of innocent people with them.

12. Survival of the fittest/strongest is the M.O. of Republicans / Conservatives
Wed Dec 4, 2024, 03:52 AM
Dec 2024

The Republican / Conservative world is brutal:

- Survival of the fittest/strongest ("The weak don't deserve to live! )
- Dog eat dog world, kill or be killed
- Zero Sum ("In order for me to win, someone else has to be torn down, so better them than me! )
- It's everyone for themselves!
- No-one deserves to be respected (even a bit) unless it is "earned."
- Integrity is for paupers
- (Along the lines of Calvinism): "The rich are rich because God blessed them, the poor are poor because God damned them!"
- Poor people deserve their suffering

Talk about a world that is bleak and is highly dystopic!
