Isn’t it delightful that every person who has a 401(k) is losing money due to the orange piece of crap. So, let’s keep count;

He’s gutting our health institutions.

He’s gutting important science research in places that the whole country depends on, ie, cancer research, Alzheimer’s research, grants that had already been issued and stripping away all of our safety guards to make sure that our food and products are safe.

He’s gutting our Medicaid system.

He’s gutting USAID.

He’s killing our ability to self sustain by hurting our farmers whom will lose everything. 

His little drug induced freaks are decimating our confidence in our earned benefits while stealing our personal information and everything that we used to believe would be there for us. Our hard earned money.

He’s sending innocent people to an El Salvador prison with no way to retrieve them.

He’s making all of his stupid followers believe that vaccines are bad and natural immunity, a.k.a. killing off as many people as they can, is better.

He’s ignoring the rule of law.

He could care less about the constitution.

He is intent on martial law and turning our military and law enforcement against our citizens.

He has destroyed our sense of security, turned our allies into our enemies and our enemies into our allies.

We are the laughing stock of the world, as we should be for electing such a monster to lead our country (even as I believe xtwit stole the election).

Anybody who ever doubted that he’s Putin puppet, how are you feeling now?

Over 1000 workers laid off just today on the auto industry.

He has turned our shining city on the hill into a place to fear as other countries advise their citizens to avoid coming to the United States of America.

I could go on and on and on and on and on!

I can’t handle any more winning.

Fuck you all who voted for this and I hope everyone of you suffers as much as we are.

I know I haven’t hit everything so feel free to copy, paste and add to the list or maybe I will as I think of more.

Most of the people who voted for him don't have a 401k or stock portfolio. They won't feel it completely until he cuts of benefits & social security gets disrupted. And even then they will hold tight because they don't want to look foolish (even though they already do). Theyve already proven they'll do anything to save face even to the extent of cutting their own nose to spite it. 😒

You're right. They are mainly worried about the price of eggs -- and they don't like to admit it when they are wrong and uninformed. If you ever watch Fox News -- just to compare it to other news media -- you will understand why Fox News watchers and Trumpers don't actually KNOW what's going on because the reality of what's going on isn't covered. I've talked to some Trumpers who are totally unaware of the state of things, and don't know anything about economics. It's sad, really, to quote Trump himself.

It's crazy how many people don't pay attention or have a clue what their facing. They said it'll be an extra 2100.00 a yr on families. People don't pay attention to the news cause they are sick of it but there's to much going on to not pay attention. It's going to be a rude awakening for those who don't.

You're spot on. I keep hearing more underground reporting about Elon cutting Social Security and other social/health benefits even as soon as 2 wks from now ... and that *maybe* the tariff ruckus could be another temporary "distraction" from that. MAGA folks will finally get what's wrong when they lose those benefits. For now, it's smoke and mirrors all over again ...

Because Maga is a cult and it is really hard for people to change their mindset/ identity and start to individuate from a cult. So there is so much evidence of the destruction and toxicity but people stay in their trance to their own detriment. I know that there are ways people do get out of cults, and I would like to learn more about it.

Yup, just a little more research and reading by Americans could have possibly averted this disaster but I doubt it. Too many Americans are lazy, and too self absorbed to actually read or fact check anything. If tRump 1.0 didn’t turn off people then I suggest they are cultists and lack judgment and awareness.

Well, it is going exactly as plan, because that's exactly what's in project25 they wanted to destroy the country forcing into a recession and depression dismantle the federal government and rebuild it as far right evangelical country where rich white billionaires are kings and women, minorities, the middle-class and poor have no human, civil,or constitutional rights. It's going exactly as they plannned. It's going exactly how the heritage planned, how the tech Reich billionaires planned. The heritage foundation has been planning this day for 54 years.

Yes. I knew every bit of this was going to happen and my husband still does not believe me that Martial law is coming. He hates Trump but everything I’ve told him was gonna happen is happening and just this afternoon,was talking to him on the phone and he said “well how can they do martial law”?

I just told him I wasn’t going to try to explain it to him anymore and that I would let him look at some videos from Mary Trump and others.

It’s not as simplistic as you think. Even though many of us would like to leave we have moral and family obligations that keep us here for now. Not everyone can just pick up and go. Some just don’t have the money. About half the nation lives paycheck to paycheck.

i totally get that. but i am thinking there might be a point when everyone is fleeing the country and then they close the borders and it will be too late. it seems to be really insane already and at the same time people online seem so passive and trying to ignore it. it doesnt add up.

probably the people on here are the most active ones, so i should not be complaining here, but its really hard to watch that this is all going down with no consequences and seemingly nobody leaving.

Waiting until it's too late and countries closing their borders is another concern. My husband's concern is not being able to find work wherever we go.

thats a valid concern for sure. if he has some years of experience in his field i would be optimistic, but its worth looking into the job market in the countries you consider. maybe chat online with people who work in that field in the places you would want to go to. just to get a sense of what is going on there.

Maybe you should read project 2025 instead of just googleing it. I'm in the document and searching for the word tariff, and they actually say blanket tariffs are a lose-lose-lose game (pg 804) and they warn about how the 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs worsen the Great depression. Which makes sense, no Economist would recommend what Trump's doing right now. So it sounds like he's not even following project 2025 on this...

This may seem like it's chaotic, but it's deliberate, thought out, and planned. The heritage foundation has beem, trying to put their plan in motion since 1954. Now they have merged with the tech Reich Billionaires, Elonand Peter Thiel. to form a new America, they want to dismantle this country, close all federal agencies, fire all federal workers, and hire loyalists for Trump, put the country in a deep depression. They want this! All of this was clearly project25. They want to rebuild America a far right nationalist evangelical country, where the tech billionaires are kings and we are the peasants, and we'll, we'll have no civil human or constitutional rights, and they'll rule over us...Our complete bodies are complete well being will belong to them.

I don't think this is in Project 2025 but it's definitely part of the Network State, Dark Enlightenment, and Accelerationist playbook. This is going to plan, this is what they want. They are literally destroying this country and the economy from the inside, and sadly the Democrats and legacy media lack the imagination to take this seriously for the existential Crisis it truly is.

what does that plan look like for the rest of the world? are they going to involve other countries in the new america?

Expand full comment
Caz Hart's avatar

Other countries are already turning their backs on the US, they have no interest in being 'involved' with the new America. New partnerships, investment opportunities, and trading opportunities will emerge for other countries. In Australia, the federal government has already put up a billion dollar fund to help affected businesses find new export opportunities - anywhere but the US. France is telling businesses not to invest in the US. The new America is going to be on its own.

yeah, that is what is happening. but i was wondering what the role of the rest of the world would be in that plan that NiaSky was talking about.

like is it about world domination or is the new america an isolated country working by itself or what is the plan?

Project 25, which Trump is clearly implementing, isolates the US from the rest of the world.

I want to slap the people who are saying these are just reciprocal tariffs and that it just short term until we even out. Bullshit. If wanted more this to be made her you would first work on getting those things setup so that more things made here without requiring imports to make those products. Want more food made & consumed here then work with farmers setting up ways to grow year round such as hydroponic growing in warehouses. Same for manufacturing parts, phones, shoes & more

Trump is cutting the throats of his own supporters with his idiotic tariffs. To say nothing of the damage he is doing to all of America and America's standing in the world. He is out of control....... And the longer Republicans refuse to stand up to him (and THEY are major part of the problem) the damage will just keep getting worse!!!!! "Everything Trump Touches Dies" is proven true every single day with every action Trump takes!!!
