We will now be told that it does not have the money to fund the safety net for old age.
The safety net we all paid for during our working lives.

The billionaires will now take all out of our money under the further pretense of "privatization."

Yet of course there is plenty of money for billionaire tax cuts.
For the salaries, perks, pensions for privileged politicians.

And trillion dollar boondoggles to get a man on Mars.

There is more than enough blame to go around.

Let me give you an example.

There's a manager where I work at who voted for Trump. When I told him that Trump was going to implement Project 2025 when he returns to power, this manager told me not to worry. He said he had done his research on Project 2025, told me that he himself was strongly against it, but that there was no cause to worry because Trump said he was not involved with it. I didn't even bother to try to explain how obvious it was that Trump lied when he said that. If he couldn't figure that out even after doing "research," then he's a lost cause.

Putin/Trump/GOP took stupid Americans to the dark underbelly of human nature.

I definitely believe that a LOT of people who voted for Trump are stupid, gullible, unimaginative, and very poorly informed, but not evil. I think a lot of them lack the initiative to fully inform themselves, which an unattractive trait but not one I would necessarily consider evil.

There are a lot of selfish, stupid people who are Trump supporters.

And will double down when presented with facts.

I definitely believe that a LOT of people who voted for Trump are stupid, gullible, and very poorly informed, but not necessarily evil.

Trump himself is undoubtedly evil, as are many of those close to him. I believe some of his supporters are evil, but I think a lot of them are just stupid, gullible people who have been taken in by his promises to "fight" for them and make things "better." It's a damned shame that so many people are that stupid, but much as we may deplore it, they are.

Dismissing them all as evil is too easy for me, a vast oversimplification that I'm not comfortable signing on to.

Yes there are other horrible leaders, past and present. But the word nasty seems like it was made for him.

They appear to be 3 quotes from Galbraith, Keynes, and Brandies.

And they're not about Trump's overhaul plans, either.

there are very few media sources where you would find those quotes of that caliber.

They were extracted from the comments and made into the OP.

throw their weight towards Biden (which wouldn't have made an iota of difference in the outcome of the election). It is one of the last remaining sources of we-informed, intelligent reporting and commentary.

I would just like to say that I'm happy to lay down my life so that Musk and other zillionaires can get a much needed tax break. And I am delighted with my fellow Americans who voted for expletive deleted in order to bring us to such a sorry pass.
