A Boring Dystopia

My biggest frustration is not that Trump won, it's that as best i can tell these things are not even penetrating into the infosphere of maga. They are not only gleefully celebrating what they think he's doing, they are also seemingly completely ignorant of what they surely must not realize he's doing.

This infuriates me more than anything else, but the Republicans were very clear on their intentions and were elected democratically.

It sucks that we don't have a legit opposition party that actually cares about the poor and working class.

MAGA will blame this on Democrats.

America had a class war. And Americans lost.

Well, he promised tax breaks. If anyone had the illusion that this would benefit lower income brackets, then congratulations: you have officially become senile. Because it follows the same path he did with the last tax breaks: More money for the rich, less for the rest.

Everyday Americans will not stand for these games

I got a bridge to sell this guy!

America will get what they voted for. Fucked.

What the fuck did people think would happen to all the cost savings that doge is supposedly doing? You think that money was just going to sit in government bank accounts or something?

American friends, what are you waiting for to deploy your guillotines?

Sure we are getting fucked all over the world but it seems that you are having it way worse...

These Republicans are worse than locusts.

Who could have possibly foreseen this hilariously predictable outcome?!

Ah yes, republicans with the ol’ trickle-down economics… always works, right?! Right?!

"Well the 60yr old man that blew his body out working hard jobs to raise his family that are now unable to buy homes despite graduating college with tech degrees, can just rejoin the work force with his withering body and broken psyche." -Evil probably

‘Want to be slightly richer, while we speed run a revolution?’

Oh I can feel the trickle!

That’s $4.5 trillion that will trickle down to all of us, any day now, just you wait, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait…

Know how we can directly trace the enshitification of the United States in many ways back to the Reagan administration?

Yeah, we just did that to ourselves again. But probably worse.

Realistically, we're going to spend the remainder of our lives witnessing the further enshitification of this nation.

I hate the language around the federal budget. First, how budget figures are reporting in 10 year intervals, when everything else is reported in 1 year intervals. So everything sounds 10 times bigger. When like only 5% of the population ever looks at the federal budget, this creates a TON of confusion.

Second, how reductions in tax (like to the rich) are reported as "giveaways". Taxes go in, not out. That's a reduction in revenue, not an expenditure or liability. You can say, "shift the tax burden even more onto the lower and middle classes". Then it's actually accurate. Getting fired from your job is not an expense, it's a loss of income. Same thing.

Time to fuckin do something

I don't know what to think about that. I don't think that low income Republican voters will feel the face eating of the leopards they voted for as what it is.

And I'm not even American, but I can see that this exact same thing is going to happen here in Europe/Germany as well. People will vote for the extreme right parties that have all their propaganda on how they are going to give money to the small people and make the country more secure - and at the same time their political programs and past behavior screams "we will give tax cuts mainly to the ultra rich and never cared about the low income people".

And they still get voted for. We just love us some good old fashioned fascism. Maybe I need to change my mindset and just be like "let's gooooo"
