People gotta remember this guy has been as desperate as Trump his whole life to be accepted as a legitimate member of elite society. You factor that in, you factor in that Trump also wanted to be a crime boss like his mob affiliates from the early part of his career, the motives become more clear, the outcomes become more predictable.
Also remember, some of this is engineered by both parties to distract us from the everyday realities we are facing.
Don’t take your eye off the prize. We want a centrally planned economy, we want universal healthcare, we want federally funded infrastructure projects, and we’re gonna take that money from the wealthy.
Beware “abundance” grifters…
Funny how one party seems to push this sort of shit way way more than another party.
I just want a functioning democracy, one with less fascists and corruption in it.
And how are you going to do that? Are you willing to take it by force? Because that's the only way it's going to happen. You have to take it by force.
No, we'll take it by legislation and re-writing the tax code, but if they want to hold out, than yes, we'll take it by force, and that will be a LOT worse for them.
You personally? You're going to take it by force?
So, when democracy is dismantled in the next year or two, and it's no longer possible to "take it by legislation" or "re-write the tax code", you personally are going to take it by force?
With what? Do you have a gun? What you are going to take it with? A shovel?
