Joe Biden is the worst US president in history.

CJMusic Jul 6, 2024:

It would appear that, in light of Biden failing and floundering, the Dems sent their minions out to foment panic about Project 2025. It won't work.

CJMusic May 1, 2025:

I regret voting for Trump.

My husband is laid off and can't find a job and my kids' credit scores have tanked bc of his student loan policy.

This is not what I voted for.

Blame shifting by the people that they believe they should trust.

"The democrats caused this mess"
"If the democrats were in power, they would do way worse than this"
"This is temporary pain to prevent the democrats from ruining EVERYTHING"
"~~Heil Hitler~~ THE DEMOCRATS ARE THE REAL NAZI FASCISTS!!!"

This is the strategy that the obscenely wealthy have used since the dawn of time.

Manipulate the peasants to blame each other, instead of them. Throw the peasants some bones to make us appear concerned, altruistic, and benevolent. The reason Roman emperors gave the plebes free bread every day, and held the "Games" to keep them from rioting.

Today, it's American Idol, sports, reality TV, YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Juvenal originally used it to decry the "selfishness" of common people and their neglect of wider concerns. The phrase implies a population's erosion or ignorance of civic duty as a priority.

Juvenal was born rich. I think he may have had a bias against the plebes.
