In reply to the discussion: New Trump act may lead to total GOP takeover of elections: 'Most important news out there' [View all]PatrickforB
(15,377 posts)temerity, when I pointed out that it stretches credulity a bit too far to think Trump carried all six swing states. I then expressed frustration with Democrats on not fighting harder against this nazi administration.
This person talked down to me and said election denial is a poor strategy.
Well it seemed to work out GREAT for Trump didn't it? Again because of wishy-washyness by institutionalist democrats. Now Don Lemon has been arrested and in spite of the temporary victory in MN because of egregious ICE actions resulting in the murder of two people exercising their constitutional rights...
News flash: We don't HAVE constitutional rights under this administration which is IGNORING any attempts to rein them in. None.
We are well on the road to becoming a fascist (oligarchy + white nationalism) government.
And you know what? Greed will NEVER HAVE ENOUGH. The billionaires, Wall Street and publicly traded corporations will NEVER police themselves because they have no moral compass. No compassion. No empathy. No sense of balance. Just raw, grasping greed and unchecked lust for more. More money, more power. That's them.
What are the Democrats going to do now about US???? The middle class. The aging people trapped in big houses when they need to downsize because Wall Street has been buying up homes for investing, NOTHING has been done about the huge inflation - my healthcare premiums went up by 19.2% on top of increases every single year of the Biden administration. This year and instead of doing anything to RELIEVE US OF THIS WALL STREET SQUEEZE, Trump has unleashed a giant secret police organization, is raiding polling centers and arresting journalists. And Democrats don't seem to be doing much to fight that.
I am being taxed without representation because my government, whichever party has been in power has been ignoring my needs. Healthcare, childcare, good k-20 PUBLIC education, strong Social Security. Those are the things I want my tax dollars to support. Programs that help the middle class at their kitchen table. I'm fucking tired. Fucking tired. I had more purchasing power back in the 1990s than I do now. What the hell? This is nothing but a big unchecked robbing of the treasury by the oligarchs while the Nazi-Klux wing of the GOP works to end all further elections.
So, yes, I do not think Trump actually won in 2024. I am 100% sure Musk and Thiel used their tech to hack the machines and cheat Trump into the White House. The Dems didn't even say anything about all the irregularities. Nothing. They just seem to be issuing strong statements. I call my US senators daily and nothing. No calls for general strike, nothing.
I'll be clear:
- I do NOT support a trillion dollar war budget.
- I do not support massive federal investment of MY tax dollars in AI that is not nearly as good as claimed.
- I do not support the formation of a huge secret police and setting up concentration camps.
WHEN will Democrats step up? Because - news flash - this FBI raid on Fulton County, gerrymandering is designed to keep us from EVEN HAVING mid-term elections. You think that isn't the plan????
So, I'd say the election denial strategy worked GREAT for Trump. Biden appointed a limp noodle as Attorney General and he did NOT ENOUGH and went TOO SLOW. And now we're fucked.
These guys won't leave, you know. Fascists, once they get in power, NEVER EVER leave. And their policies lead inevatably to war. Is that our children's heritage? Our grandchildren's? Are they going to have to live through a greed-hate cataclysm like the world did in the Second World War? Starting to look like it...
