They're eliminating every agency, grant, and initiative that serves the people

[The Blue Flower]

The goal is to reduce the nation to be of service to them (the wealthiest). Education, health care, scientific research, weather tracking and prediction all were set up to serve the people. All are on the chopping block or being chipped and chopped away.

1. They want to destroy the...

Buffer between us and their greed so that we become entirely dependent on them so they can "giveth and taketh" whatever they choose.

Fuck that, it's why we have a democracy, to keep them away from ruling us.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

2. Because rich people don't need weather tracking.

Got it.

[Hotler]

3. Conservatism is selfishness. Not a penny of my taxes should go to helping others that just failed

to prepare or pull on their bootstraps.

4. And they are hoping the weakest will die off,

They are going to try to improve the odds of natural attrition. Christian nation my ass.

[thomski64]

21. .they intend for the weakest to die.

...so, by that logic, Luigi
Mangione acted in self
defense.. it's only class
warfare when we fight back
"when you got nothin'
you got nothin' to lose..."

22. I wonder if there will be a tipping point?

Certainly would be a statement if a jury refused to give him a guilty plea.

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Yep. TSF is shooting for a third world country status.

6. And eliminating or cutting staff to bare bones of agencies that had investigations on Musk in the works.

DOGE would be more accurately named KMOP*

*keep Musk Outta Prison

7. Not everyone has evolved at the same pace. MTG for instance.

8. The United States of Subservience

They want their slaves back and the maga idiots don't understand that means them too.

15. MAGAs are terrified of democracy.

A very large portion of them want it this way.

[Magoo48]

9. One way to have a bit of leverage is to stop buying anything but food and absolute necessities.

A little more painful, but significantly effective, is to stop providing all the thousands of services we now provide for the morbidly rich.

Unfortunately, these direct actions are beyond the willingness or political awareness of the majority.

10. and guess what people , were still going to have a debt that we owe to other countries.

11. of the rich, by the rich, for the rich, shall perish from this earth.

[SheltieLover]

12. Pootinization.

[angrychair]

13. The irony is

That if you want a violent revolution, that is the formula for a violent revolution.
We are Americans, it's literally in our blood.

[Cirsium]

14. Correct

That is not merely Trump, nor MAGA, it has been the ongoing Republican agenda since the New Deal era, with too little fight back from the Democrats. It is the ongoing looting of the public wealth, that goes back to the privatization of public land, particularly in Britain, and the beginning of colonialism ad imperialism. We are in the final stages of a 500+ year global rampage by those profiting from a monstrously exploitative economic system that has been systematically destroying the environment, communities, and traditions, while enslaving, imprisoning, torturing and murdering human beings in the hundreds of millions.

16. I'm convinced the orange asshole wants the US to become less like Russia and more like...

North Korea.

[ToxMarz]

17. Everything "provided" by the Governemt for commonly 1-3% overhead

will be RATIONED to the highest bidders by corporations contracted to provide the services at an egregious profit, on top of which they will waste and defraud $billions on top of that, Then when they run it into the ground with their thievery and mismanagement, they will be bailed out by the taxpayer.


OR as Republicans go, things will finally be handeled PROPERLY.

[KPN]

18. There's a great fiction book I am in the midst of reading right now which is basically about this exactly, but is

inspired by white superiority. Well, not basically about, but very much like this in many ways.

It takes place largely in the 26th century, but provides some historical fictional context in the present time. It strikes me as a modern day equivalent of Orwell's Brave New World. This Great Hemisphere by Nateo Askaripour published 2024. The relevance to what we are witnessing right now while I read it is kind of mind blowing. Hopefully, it ends well.

19. Farron Balanced

"Democrats may not be perfect, they may not stand for everything you like, trust me, they have never in my lifetime, intentionally made your life worse.
Republicans on the other hand, do it every single time they get in power."

20. grover norquist on steroids. so glad the majority sat the election out.
