Sorry I have cancer and will probably lose access to my healthcare and die once they repeal the ACA.
I’m going to celebrate and get in their stupid bitch faces about it. Every time some loser fucking MAGA whines about how bad they’ve got it I’m going to harass the living fuck out of them about its their own shitty decisions biting them in the ass. They’re going to hear about it every fucking day until I fucking croak! I’m sick of my life being fucked up because of ignorant fucking pricks. I’m ready to tell ignorant pricks exactly how fucking ignorant they are, and I don’t give a fuck if they’re too fucking ignorant to even understand my insults.
Fuck this civility politics bullshit, it’s what got us here to begin with. These people deserve to be made social fucking pariahs.
Fuck this civility politics bullshit, it’s what got us here to begin with.
To expand on this a bit:
Reasonable people have been civil for decades, and the state of affairs has only declined. That decline has accelerated to the point where the unreasonable people are being ushered in now to control all of the US federal government, not by accident, but by the will (or apathy) of the citizens.
There are no more legal levers to pull. The time for civility has passed. In the short term, there’s nothing we can do to effect positive change, but we can take steps to !resist@fedia.io the negative, slow it down, make it cost more (in dollars and effort). And we don’t have a bunch of foreign allies willing to put themselves in harm’s way to come to our rescue. It’s going to be a long slog.
US citizens are going to need to learn to be very fucking resourceful, like Cuban citizens learned to be starting sixty years ago.
We need to accept that nobody and no institution is coming to save us.
I want to see community gardens. I want to see non-internet-connected community mesh networks. I want to see community medical clinics. Community 3D printing and basic fabrication, so we can actually fix things. Community mechanics and construction.
Take the ethos of Habitat for Humanity and expand it. Have communities tearing up old dwellings but preserve and fix the wood, metal and wiring to be re-used.
I don’t know how to organize any of it, but change and help isn’t going to come from the top down, it’s up to us to organize it from the bottom up. That can be pretty daunting in especially conservative areas, trying to wake people up to needing each other.
It’s not just waking any random people up either, but the crowd of ‘fuck you I got mine’.
The pattern I noticed with Maga fans, is they all bought what he was selling: fuvk those other people. Maybe it is refugees and immigrates, LGBT, peaceful protesters, women. So much for society, vote for greed and self interest.
And they voted in support, so it seems like karma to me.
I’ll still laugh though. Tragedy can ve comedy.
We’re all going to be in a lot of pain these next few years. I’m perfectly happy to celebrate the people responsible for creating that pain to also have to feel it.
Sorry, but the democratic establishment with continue to live extremely comfortable and privileged lives.
If it’s gonna happen anyway, might as well get as much joy from it as we can.
These guys need to get the fuck out of here with this rude awakening and economic anxiety bullshit. I don’t really want to hear about any soft peddling of these obvious racist/sexist/other hateful driven motivation voters. Last time The Fanta Menace won, there were all these articles about low income voters (of which I’m one, but I had the good sense not to vote for a flaming pile of garbage) voting for him because of “economic anxiety” and not that he appealed to their base desires to hurt any non straight, white, or male group they didn’t like.
This isn’t our first rodeo with this fat piece of shit. We all saw what he did before. How can you be “rudely awakened” when you vote for someone whose behavior you’re fully aware of? They saw what happened last time and his main campaign promise was, “More of that, but cranked up to 11.” Fuck that noise. They are getting exactly what they voted for, with full knowledge of the outcome. Unfortunately, the rest of us are also getting that and it’s gonna be bad.
The article talks about him playing favorites, which of course he will, but I think they give him too much credit when it comes to sparing his supporters. He didn’t have any problems breaking up families of his supporters last time when one or more of them was undocumented and got swept up in an ICE raid. He’ll do what he wants, tempered only by what his handlers want, and that means some notable percentage of his supporters are gonna see some negative effects… Which is exactly what happened last time. They were all shocked Pikachu face then, and amazingly we’re now supposed to what, feel bad about them learning nothing and being shocked Pikachu face again after they put themselves in the same situation again? The hell with that.
We had plenty of evidence from the first time Trump was elected that showed a massive amount of his base actually wasn’t dirt poor voting against their own interests, but actually relatively well-to-do. I think the “dirt poor” thing about Trump voters is a convenient lie liberals tell themselves to make themselves feel better than these people.
Every shitty boss and middle manager I’ve ever had was conservative. They’ve always made way more money than me while doing fucking hardly anything I wasn’t capable of doing.
Every time you saw one of those MAGA freaks complaining about the cost of food, and looked at photos of their actual grocery carts, it’s like these people had never considered the cost of food before. All of it’s high-end food that they’re bitching about being expensive.
It’s time to stop lying to ourselves about it. A significant portion of Trump voters are middle manager fuckheads who already have control over other people’s lives and like it that way. They’re firmly voting in their interests when their interests are “I get to abuse my employees and it makes me feel like a big man.”
It depends on the industry. I install electronic security systems, and I’m on construction sites quite a lot. 95% of the white guys there are MAGA fans, and often talk shit about the very same Latino workers that are working alongside them hanging drywall. They won’t do it openly. They’ll wait until they’re in a group of only white dudes or scribble slurs on the walls of the portable toilets.
It sickens me sometimes how they’ll punch down on someone while not being that much better off than them.
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

I agree completely but the workers outnumber those managers by 10 to 1 at a minimum. The rich Trumpers had no direct effect on the election. That’s why they use their money to buy all mainstream media.
The poor are stupid and have a bad memory. They completely forgot that they had to fight for toilet paper under Trump.
This must be a joke article, because it just reinforced the importance of the “FAFO” jab.
When immigrants are rounded up at put into work camps, labor jobs will be gone.
When skilled immigrants are imported, not given citizenship and paid low wages for high profit, skilled jobs will be gone.
The whole idea of the New United States is slavery, and the rulers know that we are too entitled to be slaves—for now. So they poison us and starve us out until the next generation comes along and is much more obedient.
So yeah… it’s fucking hilarious when some dumb right wing turd thinks they are gonna MAGA.
This is what I fear most out of this. The plan seems to isolate us, and drag us all down. Nobody is talking about it.
We are. But the media is in on it, or, told to focus elsewhere… like continuing to talk about Biden.
2025 is WWIII, with china over Taiwan. That’s what the news will be focusing on. They will trick us into thinking these labor camps are good because we won’t be able to get cheap Chinese goods anymore.
Eventually everyone will turn their head because a “$5000 iPhone” will scare them away.
It’s pretty diabolical. But if those work camps become a thing, which might not happen because people here do get loud, then you might consider an escape (especially if you aren’t white) if you have the means.
