I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. Iâm sorry we have to live through this.

(7,274 posts)I heard on MSNBC that only eight percent of Americans realize this fucking bill will impact social safety nets (including medicaid).
We on DU get how catastrophic this is!
Tho I hope the Dems aggressively message this in every corner of the country, particularly rural areas.
Huge shout out to Hakeem Jeffries and AOC for being role models of doing exactly this!!

Greatest country? maga?
I will fly my flag upside down tomorrow, my 45 close by.
I'm not in any mood to be fucked with!
We gave peace a chance, that's all I am saying.
Now it's time to organize to save our way of life.
They are cowards and if a few of them get messed up, maybe they will back off.
If not we rely on the military not carrying out illegal orders.
If that fails, well, we knew it was a matter of time for the military takeover of America.
I will not live to see that!

(238 posts)I'm old and can see the natural limit to my years. But I fear for the young people who will die early deaths of despair due to their perceived lack of any bright future. They are confronted by autocracy, an environmental catastrophe and The Bomb. So they can see no solutions to the omnicide ahead and it's depressing. Things are going to get a lot weirder at this tipping point for the planet. The choice is utopia or oblivion.
