If Trump is in favor of something, it is NEVER in the interest of America and democracy.

Part of my disgust and disdain for so many people in this country is that that they are so easily duped. All that fuck has to do is call some egregious bill the β€œSAVE AMERICA” act and the stupids rush to vote against their own interests, while accusing us of not wanting to β€œsave America”.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Zero. Zero of them are doing this.
The Dominionist "true believers" think that Jesus is coming back so they don't have to worry.
The political opportunists think they'll control the election (if there is one) so they can't be voted out anyway, so they don't have to worry.

Their endgame is to stay in power indefinitely through rigged elections and whatnot. They've had plenty of practice in the South, especially during Jim Crow. Everything happening now is to help them with that end goal. Excuses for emergency powers, repeal 19th amendment, repeal civil rights, etc

Tennessee Wants to Let Schools Ban Immigrant Kids, Threatening to β€œEnd Public Education as We Know It” A Tennessee bill would take the right to education away from undocumented children. The Heritage Foundation is pushing it in other states.

Literally everything the Heritage Foundation suggests is nauseating

β€œThe state’s proposed β€œtrigger laws,” …are direct challenges to Plyler v. Doe, a narrowly decided 1982 Supreme Court case that enshrined the right to a free K–12 public education regardless of immigration status.”

Yep, Republicans in Congress said we couldn't afford to fund Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Snap, etc. Instead they gave Trump blank check to spend $40 Billion to prop up Argentina at the cost of our farmers. Now Millions to convoy oil in Strait of Hormuz, Billions on weapons expended in Iran

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.

While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.

Sure, you can gamble on your phone from the comfort of your couch. But only at River Side Casino can you get the gut-punch of a humiliating loss in a public forum.
