Nobody’s going to be fine. Tariffs on our 3 biggest trade partners are going to raise the prices of nearly everything by 25%
Who could possibly have the foresight to know that making things more expensive won’t lower the prices?
If we’re lucky.
At least he’s not raising the effective tax rate on the bottom 95% of.Americans… right?
You gotta be shitting, right? That’s how he financed the last tax cut for the rich.
And mass deportations are going to lead to food shortages and massive price hikes at the grocery store.
They will imprison people and make them work the fields.
Nobody’s going to be fine.
Not even Elon?
Promise?
Weird way to make the economy better for working people. Hmmm
And just like everybody else, you forgot the Native Americans.
You know, the ones that they’re trying to remove their citizenship based on some 140-year-old law that has already been superseded by other better law?
I really, really, don’t understand how/why Native Americans are treated so bad. It makes no sense to me. Then their artifacts and regalia will be copied or sold for top dollar. It’s insane.
They want the land
Oh shit, why hadn’t that come up in my head? You’re right. I’m dumb.
I think it’s more about getting revenge on successful casino owners when the carrot in chief has failed multiple casinos.
And also about getting rid of the loudest objectors to all of the oil pipe lines.
Reservation land is typically pretty terrible. I’m from Pine Ridge and that is a fucking poverty hellscape of a place.
Nobody wants to be there.

This goes beyond one president, literally back to the founding of the country. It’s not just some grudge held by this particular president. Even Obama has done some heinous shit to natives in regards to their land and rights.
The reservations have always been a set off moving goal posts that have been granted, moved around, and revoked—regardless of how ‘good’ or ‘not good’ the land is. The US government (read: capitalism, bc that’s what it’s always been) wants ALL the land.
You…
I really want to insult you right now, but we’re literally talking about Trump taking away my native citizenship.
Natives have only been citizens for roughly 100 years,
President Cock smoker is trying to take it away.
Your whataboutism isn’t going to keep my family American and out of the detainment camps.
So put that stupid shit in your peace pipe and smoke it.
What are you talking about? I’m not defending Trump, or using whataboutism? I’m trying to explain the history of consistent oppression of native peoples. It’s unfortunately as old as white people coming here in the first place; Trump is just the latest flavor of awful. This country is literally founded on genocide, and just about every president has partaken.
I live in Oklahoma, my spouse is a tribal member, as is my child. I’m extremely close to the issue and try to make myself as educated on the topic as I can. I also try to educate others, since a lot of people genuinely don’t know how far back this shit goes, as our education system deliberately leaves it out. That’s what I was trying to do here.
They had the unmitigated gall to be living on our land before we got there.
One of my best friends in childhood was Duwamish, and his family had it rough. Haven’t seen him in 50 years, and all that was forgotten come meme-making time. I’m guilty as charged, sorry.
Oh, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t have to work to live. If you are rich enough to live of the work of others.
Everyone else is fucked. The plutocrats are going to make sure of that.
We must follow the teachings of Luigi.
And apply it with the methods of Ted Kaczynski.

Eh, explosives are too impersonal
Okay knives it is.
There is no weapon more personal than a bardiche.
i’m more of a glaive dude myself, but yeah bardiches are something special
Melt some styropor in gasoline and you’ve got a nice napalm molotov.
I’ve always considered Musk to have the look of the Innsmouth about him; pale clammy skin, wide eyes clumped above his guppy jaw. I hope he will be lured by the ancestral calls and return to the murky depths in due course.
How did we get to this, I thought the progress he have made would have actually stuck in some people’s heads (I’ve voters). Unfortunately, some people don’t understand what the progress was for because all they think about are their wallets and control of others
Poor is the most loaded word here. Less than $300K a year is probably the cutoff.
… or actually dependent on social security or medicare …

Hooray, I’m several of those.
Magats
I’m one of the good ones
Or get sick!
It’s there right in the middle of it all.
Or need to see an optometrist!
Always two, there are. No more. No less. A Master and an apprentice.
I’m going to be good all the way. I’m happy being dead knowing I’m not on the same plane of existence as these douche nozzles.
Well, not soon, I hope.
That’s my escape route, too. I’m bloody old, and hoping to be dead before the complete collapse of everything. But I’m healthy, and Trump is really floorboarding us toward the end, so…
I’ve apparently seen the best the world has to offer. “Living in the lap of luxury” technology provides (excusing all the nightmares) and I’m not impressed. We can deal with all our external physical needs apparently but lord help us if we try to address the deep hurt and suffering we cause one another everyday.
Yeah, society is insane, and was even before Trump and his ilk. Everyone is at least a little fucked-up in the head, and the few people who seem fairly sane are probably just better at hiding their troubles. I’ve got e-hugs if you need one.
hoping to be dead before the complete collapse of everything
Same here. I’m also super-happy to be childless, as I couldn’t imagine how it would feel to know that my children will have to face this shit.
But how can a non existent being be happy?
How can it be anything?
Sounds great to me.
What if I’m an atheist but wealthy? Like how much do I need to donate to be safe?
