Decades of "I vote myself and my kin" or "I vote against others even if it hurts me". Reap what you sow. Vote to #TaxWealth or #TaxWealthNotWork and maybe you'll get somewhere.
not an american but i just wanna chime in and say that it pains me to see that the rich can destroy an entire country and its people will still find a way to blame the propagandized masses
like it's not your neighbor's fault that they fell to incredibly elaborated propaganda campaigns
There's always two sides. You can grow up poor and uneducated but that doesn't mean you have to be mean and hateful. And even if you grow up middle-class and are exposed to propaganda, that doesn't mean that you have to fully give in to it. To be this far gone, you have to have also let it happen.
It's not something that happened overnight, this has been a half century in the making. Fox News did most of the heavy lifting, but even before the industrialists came up with a long game to overthrow the republic back in 1971 at the Business Roundtable.
It happened a little bit at a time, and all it would take to reverse it is a popular alternative, yet we trust the democrats to do that as they decry popular as the great danger we are facing. They call the republicans populist, and they are dicks, so therefore populists are dicks, is the logic. Too stupid to even refute if it wasn't so effective with out chemical pollution addled weak minds, (present company excluded.)
Yeah it is. They dum. They chose that.
I'll give them this...
They wanted to make sure people didn't have enough to eat unless they were wallowing in indignity and grinding for scraps. This is real commitment to their stupid, ass-backwards "principles". I salute the stupid hill they're going to starve on.
Why can't they just pull themselves up by their bootstraps? No one wants to work anymore...
They can't afford straps.
Step 1: Vote like dogshit for decades.
Step 2: Suffer.
Step -1: normalize voting based on vibes
Step 0: be clueless about propaganda and bias
Food insecurity in my ruby red state just hit 37%. More than 1/3 of the state is fucking hungry! The food banks struggle to keep running, let alone keep pace with demand. People just need that everyday experience to be linked with the republican administration here, but that direct line isn't clear to people, or they're disenfranchised enough not to care anymore. Education campaigns are so sorely needed.
Voted for Harris. I didn't vote against my intrest. Still suffer. I'm in this camp. I'm hanging on. But just barely. But the moment is here. People are starving. It's about to get even more crazy.
how many of those millions voted for this?
I'm not going to care too much until I know that number
Funny thing is food insecurity means getting fat instead of thin nowadays. We somehow are able to create cheap calories with no substance.
Fuck Trump.
