Trump and Musk can order the military in all they want. Let's see if they want to shoot down their own parents being thrown out into the streets due to no income.

Social Security is the third rail of politics. It is non-negotiable. If they touch it, fry them.

If this country bends over and let's these subhuman villains rob Social Security out from under us without a vicious fight then I'm not sure we deserve it.

Social Security MUST be the line in the sand.
