My mind is going full on this morning alone with my thoughts and concerns in this old man of 59 dyslexic bad punctuation ramble.
Not sure of actual numbers , yet millions are gonna lose their healthcare others will lose food subsidies. All for tax cuts for the wealthy it is just absolute cruelty.
You republican maga P.O.S. take away folks healthcare cause food insecuritys with no school lunches or S.N.A.P. What options do the people have left as our government fails us folks will become desperate and Im fearful over violence on both sides.
It is so apparent that the maga repigs in voting for this bill they never read history in what happens when you push tyranny on a free people.
The bill that was passed we all understand it is class warfare.
We are on the way to the 2026 midterms and it isnt going to be easy. When these maga politicians and their King Saul start understanding the fallout of this apocalyptic bill it is going to get worse.
And in what form will it come , magat martial law a manufactured crisis from trumpigs administration. Im confident if that was to happen they do not have my army to support maga administration.
At this point Im ready to deal personally with I.C.E. Agents on Election Day 2026 in polling stations asking for I.D.
Fucking Reagan and his trickledown welfare queen bullshit. Forty five years of cannibalism by republicans on democracy and the middle class and my tribe of blue collar oppressed white men bought into the republican lies right up to today.
Yet there is good news as i just talked with the Snoopervisor Dunc the golden retriever chunk and his crew of one Oliver a Pyrenees retriever mix who are remodeling the backyard. I asked what their ideas are on remodel.
More holes dad were gonna need more new best holes.

(3,338 posts)No, it wont the same fear, ignorance, racism, bigotry, hate, and stupidity will be in play, as was the case in 2024.
And its more than 50 years of reactionary authoritarianism by the fascist right the quest to establish the tyranny of Republican minority rule.

Climate change causes natural disasters this party doesn't seem to understand or think is a threat.
Hurricanes - Wildfires - Sea Level Raise - Floods - Earthquakes.
This nation cannot afford tax cuts for billionaires.
Ronald Reagan found out he could not run the government on a 25% top tax rate
and had to raise taxes twelve times during his terms!

(20,073 posts)The Bad Times are here for many Americans. The only good thing that may come from this is a huge wake-up call for Magas when they witness:
Children and grandchildren go hungry
Parents/grandparents thrown out of nursing homes from lack of Federal Subsidies
Hospitals closing
Nursing Homes closing
People dying from lack of health care
People going bankrupt
People losing their homes
People dying in the streets
People being placed in prison for being homeless (it's coming)
What can we do?
VOTE! We need to vote in such HUGE numbers, it becomes impossible to cheat.
DONATE: To your local food pantry
VOLUNTEER: With your local communities services
PROTEST: For as long as it takes

Snip
"I'm here fighting for my district because Republicans are willing to sell out working and struggling folks in my district, and frankly, their's too to appease billionaires and big corporations," the House Democrat said.
Crockett pointed out how the 83 billionaires in this country are being overrepresented by lawmakers.
"We have 435 members in the House, and we have 100 members in the Senate. Yet somehow, 83 people in this country have more representation than the hundreds of thousands that are about to lose their healthcare as well as their SNAP benefits," the Texas lawmaker said.
Emphasis mine.
