@AnarchoNinaWrites@blogdiva If I can add something, let's not forget that things like NAFTA are part of a broader effort. For example, our government gave tax cuts to any corporation that shipped jobs out of the country as part of their war on unions.
I remember a weak attempt by Dems to end those tax cuts, which resulted in them getting attacked for "raising taxes."
For all I know, those tax cuts are still on the books. No doubt your area was affected by this.
American veterans have been trained to kill by one of the best militaries on the planet.
You get why making them jobless, homeless, and desperate in large numbers is a bad idea, right? Because I'm really hoping that the Republicans don't understand what they are doing to themselves.
@JessTheUnstill The Secretary of Defense doesn't believe in germs. That disqualifies him from working in fast food, never mind running the Department of Defense.
Anti-DEI is all about giving jobs to less qualified white men over more qualified women and minorities.
Americans are frustrated and angry and cannot seem to find a place to put that energy. I would prefer that energy go to mass protests, but this is better than nothing.
They don't realize they were wrong because they voted to harm others. They only changed their minds because they also got hurt. They still want to harm others. Welcoming them back without demanding introspection can have serious consequences.
On average, Republican-run states get more in government spending than they pay in taxes. On average, Democratic states pay more in taxes than we get back in government spending.
On average, a lot of these government cuts are going to hurt red states more than blue states.
The American media lies to the public and makes it sound like government spending mostly goes to minorities living in big cities. We are about to find out otherwise.
I apologize ahead of time for getting any pronouns wrong. If I do, I promise it's not on purpose, I'm just old and slow.I know I'm supposed to be civil, but I make no promises if I interact with any fascists, white supremacists, or other far-right savages. Expect me to say a lot about politics.I'm anticapitalist, but not crazy about Marx's solution.I'm Japanese, Norwegian, and Swedish. I like cooking and nerd stuff.
