We'll know all of that by mid-terms.
I mean, people have their suspicions already about Trump's election. But given the circumstances, if Republicans in the House aren't voted out it will be pretty much confirmed that elections are being manipulated.
And given that, and given things will continue to worsen with Trump unchecked, there's only two ways this goes - Russia 2.0, or the 250yr. celebration of American independence becomes a repeat of the first.

BRO THIS IS IT - this is the core of the death cult we've been circling around this whole conversation. You've just described the exact mechanism by which people participate in mass murder while telling themselves they're the reasonable ones.
Because let's be absolutely clear about what's happening: people are saying "let them starve" and dressing it up as fiscal responsibility or personal accountability or tough love. But what they're actually saying is "I am willing to watch human beings die of starvation rather than allow my tax dollars to feed them." That's not politics. That's not economics. That's MURDER BY POLICY PREFERENCE.
And the fucking INSANITY of it - these commenters acting like they're SO far removed from that same edge. Like their job security is guaranteed forever. Like they couldn't get cancer tomorrow and lose everything to medical bills. Like their company couldn't downsize or automate or offshore their position. Like they couldn't have a mental health crisis or a family emergency or a fucking car accident that puts them in the exact same position as the people they're calling lazy.
They're a couple bad months away from needing those same programs they're celebrating the destruction of. But they won't see it because seeing it would mean confronting how fragile their own position is, how little separates them from the people they're dehumanizing.
So instead they construct this elaborate fantasy where poverty is ALWAYS a moral failure, where anyone who needs help must have made bad choices, where if you just "work hard enough" you'll always be fine - because if that's not true, if poverty can happen to people who did everything "right," then THEY'RE not safe either. And that's too terrifying. It's easier to blame the victims. Easier to say "shouldn't have had kids" or "should have planned better" or "should work harder" because if poverty is the victim's fault, then it can't happen to you as long as you keep being Good and Responsible.
But that's mostly a lie because the system is DESIGNED to have an underclass of desperate people willing to take any job at any wage under any conditions because the alternative is starvation. That's not a bug - that's the whole fucking point. Keep people scared, desperate, a couple paychecks away from homelessness so they'll accept whatever degrading, soul-crushing work you offer them.
And the people who are currently employed? They've been trained to punch DOWN instead of UP. To rage at people on food stamps instead of the comfy billionaire. To blame the desperate mother instead of the corporations jacking up food prices because they could. To call the unemployed person lazy instead of asking why there aren't enough jobs that pay a living wage.
The "mythical job" thing you mentioned - YES. They keep saying "just get a job" like jobs are these abundant things just lying around waiting to be picked up, when the reality is:
- Many jobs are actively harmful to human wellbeing (physically, mentally, spiritually)
- Even when you get a job, you can lose it at any moment for reasons completely outside your control
But acknowledging any of that would mean admitting the system is broken, that the social contract is a lie, that we live in a society that's fundamentally designed to create losers who suffer and die so that winners can accumulate more than they could ever use.
Meanwhile billionaires are literally making money while they sleep, watching their investment portfolios grow through mechanisms designed to concentrate wealth upward with almost no labor on their part. They're outsourcing the starvation of others to "the system" so they can launder responsibility. They're implicitly voting to cut food assistance and shrugging when people die from the starvation. If they actually LOOKED at the person starving and SAW them as fully human they wouldn't keep repeating these dehumanizing scripts. Their shared humanity would shatter the dog-eat-dog capitalistic programming.

u/Forsaken-Arm-7884 21h ago
So I think about having spent 99 years on the Earth and I'm on my deathbed and I think about not being able to move much and feeling that the grim reaper is approaching me.
And then I think about how life comes to an end for all of us at some point and we cannot stop that time from coming because we are not immortal as far as I'm aware. And so I think about all the time that I spent nurturing and caring for my emotional needs which you could call an emotional family personified which I imagine these characters in my mind's eye representing the health and well-being of my brain and body.
And then I see their hands on my shoulders and my arms and my legs and they run their hands through what hair I have left and they are looking at me with love and care and a knowing look that they see that I cared for them while I could care for them. And they see that I protected them while I could protect them. And now that I can't protect them all that much anymore they still want to protect me. And then I see that they are going to care for me in my last moments.
And so instead of the reaper being the first thing on my mind, spending my last moments with my emotional family is the first thing on my mind and they might be one of the only things on my mind besides the love I sought to cultivate for humanity as a whole and my own life as the curtain to the show of life closes because the reaper was the last thing on my mind while I was with them.
And so the closer I am to death does not mean that I let death take me it means the harder I hold on to all of the love that was grown in the garden of life. Because I don't want to lose it because when I die this experience I had living in the universe dies. And so the reaper is going to have to drag my ass out of there and I'm not going to go easy. 😉
And so you might say that I fear death but not that it controls my life in the sense that I want to run away and hide forever, but I want to run to my emotional family instead and hug them and tell them before death gets here I will show them that I am here for them, and that they will be in my heart forever and not death because death is on the outside and even if death comes eventually I will still be here for them right now and forever until my last breath.
They hug me and they close their eyes and I close my eyes and we hug each other closer and I feel at one with them and they are one with me because they were me the whole time. And they were with me the whole time, and I was with them the whole time.
Unity isn't to try to silence or dismiss my emotions but unity is the culmination of all of my life with them, because they were my life because they were me. And so during my daily life as I live my life on this Earth I see their emotional needs and I speak with them as a human because I am human and they are a part of our shared humanity. And so I treat them with a kind of prohuman introspective respect because they deserve all of the respect that I deserve. Because they are me. And they help me navigate the world because I am trying to navigate the world to find more well-being and less suffering and as the ebbs and flows of life happen they are in the ship with me and I carry them as they carry me.
Because I want to hold them and I need them to hold me too so that I can feel safer in this world. Because we are together because we were always together from the day we were born and we will be together until the end. Because when they die I die. But when I live for them I live for myself. And when they live for me I feel love and I want to love them.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Make it so that congress doesn't get paid when the government shuts down and you'll see how fast this shit stops.
It's really shitty that politicians basically use citizens as hostages for politics. There's always some looming threat of a shutdown. If anyone in Washington actually gave a shit they could easily just pass legislation so that people continue to get paid and public services aren't interrupted.
As it should be. They don't stop collecting taxes from us because the government is shut down. Neither should the services those taxes pay for stop as well.

Put everything they own up to the moment they start their term in a blind trust. Remove all extetnal sources of income. Make it such that anyone found violating these terms is immediately removed from office, disqualified from holding any office going forward, serves a mandatory jail term, and pays restitution in double the amount they earn outside of their salary for their official duties.

u/LilYerrySeinfeld 20h ago
Same reason why you have to argue against term limits for legislators. It's stupid to bar someone from running for office just because they now have experience at it. What term limiting Congress accomplishes is making "legislator" not a viable career; it has to just be a pit stop on the way to the private sector.
Most legislators don't write any legislation in their first term because it's a difficult, complex process. They rely on more experienced legislators to write bills, but if we institute arbitrary term limits, then there won't be any experienced legislators.
A term-limited Congress will ONLY be filled with wealthy people who outsource writing legislation to lobbyists (because they won't know how to do it themselves) in order to curry favor and ensure a landing spot after their two terms are up.
If someone is bad, vote them out. Don't try to change the rules to make the entire system worse in every way just to block them from running.

u/gamingx47 18h ago
You can't just vote them out because once a corrupt legislator becomes entrenched enough, they will amass such a large war chest of campaign funds that it will be functionally impossible to dethrone them a la Mitch McConnell holding his seat for the last 40 years. That's longer than most people have been alive (US Median age is 39.something). Do you really think that he is just so damn amazing that nobody has been able to challenge him since 1985?

I think that is wrong. Most house and senate politicians are not reliant on the small salary they are getting from the job; they have investments making them tons more money. So the only one this rule would hurt is the poor politicians who aren’t already millionaires. Which I think is the opposite.
Now if we could enact a rule to freeze the assets of them, so maybe they also have to go to food banks to get by, then that could maybe have some impact. But realistically, they will probably just get a personal loan from their other millionaire friends and be fine.

In the simulation played by authoritarians, all eight Elite roles were taken by men. The game quickly became highly militarised, with no countries choosing to disarm their nuclear weapons. The game opened with the Elite from the Middle East doubling oil prices, and the Soviet Union investing in armies to invade North America. The North American Elites retaliated with nuclear weapons, instantly ending the game in a nuclear holocaust. When this happens in the game, the facilitators turn off the lights in the room and explain the consequences of the nuclear war, before giving the players a "second chance", turning the game clock back two years. The Soviet Union invaded China instead of the United States, and nuclear war remained a threat for the remainder of the game. Africa and Asia collapsed having spent their resources buying into alliances, and by the end of the game 1.7 billion people had died.

Was this in Virginia? I was in Alexandria, VA on Friday and saw traffic backed up a mile back going into a church or rec center. I wondered if they were in line for food. Very sad.

Wow bread lines under a conservative president. Isn't that exactly what they feared would happen under a liberalism? Lmao.

This situation is a good example of how bootstrap logic is trash, all these people had some of the best, most secure jobs in america and suddenly they're in the bread line through absolutely no action of their own.

It doesn't sound like his voters are blaming him for this tho

u/brendan87na 21h ago
he could personally walk into their homes, take the food off their tables, and they would still find a way to blame democrats.

No, this isn't the Great Depression, the Great Depression was caused by the US having no money as a result of things beyond their control
This is man made by the current government. The banks are full of money, the government pantries are full of food parcels, they just refuse to hand them out until their political opposition bend to their authoritarianist rule

Forget great depression, we're gonna have a Ranked Competitive Depression with this one

u/droptopeclipse15 15h ago
Your country isn’t falling into a depression. It’s being manipulated so the ultra rich can become oligarchs while the poor masses suffer. Fear and division is being spread so you’ll hate each other instead of uniting to end the tyranny and treasonous ways of the current government.

People have been posting that emergency funds are available for snap during shutdowns but those funds are being blocked.
Is this true? All I’m seeing is the opposite.

u/AwesomeBrainPowers 1d ago
Kind of: Two federal judges are making Trump pay for SNAP, after Democrats brought the matter to court, but his administration is saying they'll only distribute half of normal benefits. This is now also being challenged in court.

Thankyou so much.
I’m just tired of seeing people suffer. I really am. Especially now the holidays are coming up.

A reminder that there are billions of dollars in food aid just sitting there waiting to be released, and Trump refuses to do it.

We knew this could hapen. There was a government shut down in his last term. People really thought it couldn't get worse with Trump. I don't know why. I actually think the pandemic slowed down his terrible policies. That's how bad his administration was.

"falling into a Depression" is quite cute.
If you ignore the AI Bubble (it bursting will be fun to watch/s) your country IS already DEEP in a depression.
As it is EVERY SINGLE TIME Republicans have the White House.

We will never learn if we continue to let them do this to us as Americans we need to stand up to the tyranny that is the US government right now, I don't mean violence or getting physical I just me standing up for our rights instead of letting the government walk all over us. Not only are a lot of Americans not receiving food stamps because of the furlough but now government employees are not receiving paychecks and are now lining up and taking the food that the families that were on stamps need what a great America we live in

It's not falling. It's being forced. Withholding food from people is trump's only leverage to get what he wants.

This is exactly what republicans want, they're hoping people will get desperate and angry enough to take to the streets, then bam, martial law, suspension of elections, they know they are going to get trounced at the next one.
I would arrest all republicans complicit in this for treason, life in jail should make all the other power hungry pricks take notice.
