Their official plan to "combat" Trump is to do nothing to stop him, then fundraise off the chaos he creates. They're not actually trying to stand in his way, nor do they want to. They only care about the outcome of the next election, and more chaos means more donations. They don't care if working people are bankrupted or suffer in the meantime, because they've literally said they're now relying on funding from megadonors instead. Megadonors who share many financial interests with conservatives...
This, of course, is all built on the (flawed) assumption that the next elections are totally guaranteed to occur and will be super normal, completely ignoring the entire Jan 6 affair and aftermath, the sprint toward the far-right, fascism, and authoritarianism, and that SCOTUS declared POTUS to be basically god-king.
It's clearly either controlled opposition, dereliction of duty, sheer stupidity, or all of the above.
At a town hall meeting, Vidalia residents vigorously opposed the plan [to integrate schools], saying it would disrupt students’ lives and expose their children to drugs and violence.
Accepting the plan would have been a “death sentence” for the district, said Paul Nelson, a former Concordia superintendent. White families would have fled to private schools or other districts, said Nelson
“It’s time to move on,” said Nelson, who left the district in 2016. “Let’s start looking to build for the future, not looking back to what our grandparents may have gone through.”
Hmm... Something tells me it's not just something the grandparents went through...
Musk chooses who he gives money to. He's not going to give money to Bernie, who's currently rallying against oligarchs. Instead, he's going to give it to the people who are willing to push his fascist agenda. In the last election that was conservatives, but it's not like the liberals don't have freaks of their own. Money and advertising spend largely determines election outcomes, so by giving cash to politicians he likes, he can literally buy elections. Very few politicians would turn down his cash if offered, because they want the advantage it would bring. They also just have a fetish for sucking the toes of large donors.
Gun control does not always mean outright banning guns.
Do you think the Russian, Cuban, Chinese, and Parisian revolutionaries did not have or use guns?
Yeah, we need more peaceful protesters to be attacked by cops and counter-protesters, then get blamed for the violence.
Or maybe the fascists will eventually just decide to stop, all on their own...
Only the OP and top level comment.
Silly me, socialism is sooo globally fashionable!
Fixed it.
Yep, really chickened out of deploying Gestapo.
JuSt VoOoTe!! VOooTe HaRdER! I'm VOOTING!!
Yeah, the US is sooo ~~McCarthyist~~ Marxist, it's super fashionable.
Also, Black Panther is a superhero movie, and Malcolm X is a member of the X-Men.
These numbers should be taken with a massive grain of salt.
The bill is far too expansive to give reliable estimates. Even those in similar income brackets will realize very different outcomes, depending on their individual circumstances. But yes, generally the poor and working class will suffer financially, and the wealthy will benefit. Those closest to either end of the wealth spectrum will see the greatest of these effects, which will be far beyond the figures predicted here.
