Trump is the face. The oligarchs are the movement. What we are dealing with is a long festering tumor that has metastasized. Trump is the irregular shaped mole on the surface. The cancer has been there since the civil war.

Trump is just a symptom. The christofascists in his ear are the sickness. Trump is there just to bulldoze through the Constitution and establish a one party system.


This gives me the feeling of American pride I’ve missed for so long.


Maybe not, but what I see is more ideologically in line with the Confederates than with the Nazis. That was the secret sauce the whole time. They want the entire US government to be reset to the antebellum era and to pick up as though Lincoln never existed.


They are clearly trying to ensure that they will never be subject to a legitimate election again. Minnesota is a test for how many constitutional amendments they can break. Presidential term limits are absolutely the target. When the oligarchs no longer need their cult they will repeal the entire Constitution. Welcome to the New Confederacy.


Prison labor camps.


So the fascists say they will stop murdering people if Minnesota just identifies the names and addresses of all people in the state who did not vote for fascism? Jesus. Fucking. Christ.


The lack of any response whatsoever is proof that the coup is complete.


I live in a town of 1000 people. The town where my grocery store is has less than 4000 people. Believe me I get small towns. I live a as deep in Pennsylvania coal county as is possible. District 12 in the hunger games was LITERALLY based on where I live.
The example of the grocery store worker I gave was in my small town Weis. I was trying to recruit the kid to work at the place where I work when he told me what he made and that he was a junior in high school. HE gets paid 30% over minimum.
I think it’s important to divide not just wage quality, but employment demographic. I think $10/hr is an absolutely acceptable wage for a kid in high school. That said, a shelf stocker is not the correct employment choice for a single parent. $10/hr IS a living wage for a 16 year old. I’ve had to make a lot of hard choices as a life long blue collar worker but I’ve always understood that there are SOME jobs that are not intended for “me”.
I think this is where the problem starts. We talk about jobs like every position should be able so support a family. Different jobs are appropriate for different stages of life. A “living wage” means vastly different things in different places.


I’m honestly being serious. What jobs actually pay minimum wage? Positions that get tips don’t count. I’ve had a lot of different jobs over my life and I’ve never even seen an ad for something that pays $7.25. Fast food makes like $15. Retail makes $10-$12. Hotel attendants make about the same, but also get tips. Hell… literally last week talked to an actual teenager working in a grocery store stocking shelves and he said he makes $9.50, but he’ll me making a dollar more after 90 days. Anyone can EASILY get a job at any warehouse making $15- $18.
I get that these examples still aren’t great paychecks, but that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about $7.25 exactly. Who ACTUALLY pays that? I MIGHT believe some farm workers get minimum. But honestly how many workers are we talking about? And really, how many farms actually W-2 their employees? We all know those are cash jobs.
I agree that wages should be higher, but I think this is one of the last actual free market economy mechanics we have. McDonald’s was the quintessential minimum wage job forever but they got with the times and now what was almost a shameful job in the 90’s is a very respectable position.
So I want to fight for these workers. But WHO are we fighting for?


Going back to school isn’t an age thing. It’s a self sufficiency thing. Don’t need to work because someone is supporting you or you have enough money to live off of? School is for you. Living paycheck to paycheck? Keep working.


The chaos in one’s life that brings a person to McDonald’s continues while still at McDonald’s.


Op: Barron Trump
Life is waiting in line at the bank. You can’t fight it. You can’t change anything. You can’t get out of line. You just have to wait until it’s over.


It’s all made out of fucking Popsicle sticks.


So is the message here that the government is investigating Sen Kelly because they disagree with what he said? Soldiers… Should?.. Follow illegal orders? Are we this deep into fascism already?


I’m sure when he installs Baron as his successor the numbers will improve.


It was 100% about EBT for Thanksgiving. The Dems still don’t realize that The political games of the past aren’t working anymore against an opponent who has no agenda beyond punishing his political rivals.
Trump wants to destroy anything that he even thinks is left leaning. He doesn’t give a shit about renewable energy but democrats do therefore wind turbines are his enemy.
College educated people are less likely to vote republican therefore all universities are his enemy.
I’ll bet he doesn’t even understand the concept of fascism or even what a dictator is. All he cares about is hearing “yes”. All he wants is the obsequiousness he sees other leaders get.
Never forget that at his core he is a barely literate diaper wearing spoiled brat with a room temperature IQ. The day he leaves will become a national holiday.
Oh wait. Now we got him. Maga will finally see the truth. Yup. This is it. We finally have proof of high crimes and misdemeanors. Good sleuthing boys. Job well done. No way he escapes this scandal. Huh… remember that word?.. Scandal? Hm. Not really a thing these days. Anyway… I digress… So happy. Today is truly a day that will be known forevermore as our new independence day. Yup. This was the straw. I can’t believe I was alive for this moment. Our collective trauma can finally begin to heal. Our Republic can once again hold its head high on the world stage. Yes sir. Today you see American exceptionalism on full display. We had a problem and we got to work and fixed it. Super proud to wave the red white and blue again. No more fascism. No more SS. Once again the sun shines on the Constitution. All rights that were once trampled have now been restored. The concentration camps have seen the err of their ways. We got him. Surely no politician could ever survive such a damning revelation. We wake at the dawn is a new day. What once was lost has now been found. Yessir. The American Justice system has proven its superiority. The rule of law has been restored. So happy. All American rejoice in the changing of the guard Inhales deeply huuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh… We are lucky to live in extraordinary times. On the 7th day we all rested. Love won. The victims will all see their retribution.
Sigh.
