@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout yes, gahead. Chicken little is against us!

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout

Yes 👍👍

@SatanBurger I mean significant. You just said the middle class will be eliminated, back to 16 hour work days and no longer be a 1st world country. Am I gaslighting for saying these are extreme claims? Trump has had less deportations than Biden btw. There's cancel culture on both sides.

@Rolexeo
The middle class disappearing is supported by data and Trump accelerates this, that's not a lie.


Yes correct.

US is becoming a ‘developing country’ on global rankings that measure democracy, inequality:

https://theconversation.com/us-is-becoming-a-developing-country-on-global-rankings-that-measure-democracy-inequality-190486

In its global rankings, the United Nations Office of Sustainable Development dropped the U.S. to 41st worldwide, down from its previous ranking of 32nd. Under this methodology – an expansive model of 17 categories, or “goals,” many of them focused on the environment and equity – the U.S. ranks between Cuba and Bulgaria. Both are widely regarded as developing countries.

The U.S. is also now considered a “flawed democracy,” according to The Economist’s democracy index.

So while the gigantic size of the American economy counts in its scoring, so too does unequal access to the wealth it produces. When judged by accepted measures like the Gini coefficient, income inequality in the U.S. has risen markedly over the past 30 years. By the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s measurement, the U.S. has the biggest wealth gap among G-7 nations.


Yes correct. Republicans want child slave labor, even said that they could work overnights on school nights. They want back in the gilded ages, even Trump said he wanted that age back and kept comparing it.

This age only benefitted the rich and meant extreme poverty for the poor. The poor were stuck working in factories and most of their life away for daily bread. Trump wants to emulate that. So yes this is correct.

Trump also has a few things he's done to end education and higher education in science. His actions speak the obvious consequences.


I don't know what you're talking about cancel culture, this is nonsensical. Messing with people's lives like that marine veteran father or the little girl with a brain tumor shouldn't be reduced to political buzz words. It's not for anyone's entertainment.

I'm looking at long term impacts of policies.

What do you think the actual impacts of these policies would be if not those outcomes if it's so extreme then?

@SatanBurger 1. Money has less value, but it doesn't change the fact that this is a hyperbolic statement.

2. Now you're moving the goalpost to developing country in regards to inequality and democracy, you didn't specify that before. Regardless I don't take such a thing seriously. What that even means is vague.

3. Did he specifically say he wants 16 hour work days back? Why are you blaming slave labor only on the right? Rich democrats favor it too.

4. Ok, why are you bringing up science like I'm a Trump apologist, obviously that's bad.

5. I was talking about book bannings when I said cancel culture.

6. You sound like a politician with these pulling on heart strings stories.

@come2gether looking for details is good. And once you learn what's in there, you'll understand how bad it is without having to wait for the effects to roll out.

@NerdyPotato one can't just say something is bad, that's all the media has been saying. I'm not going to parrot the media. This is why I'm taking the time to try to learn what it actually is and does or does not. Blaring headlines are extremely biased. I just want to understand it before I decide.

Remember how marketplace insurance was jammed down on us as a good thing? It wasn't. So, I want to really know what this does.

@calicuz now what? You nailed it. That's the bipartisanly acceptable plan, faced with things as they are! Nothing.
What would I expect? Lolz. Make me an offer.

@calicuz I actually did... I knew some destructive version would pass eventually, but thought it would be watered down at least a little more before both chambers agreed.

But I guess everyone was assured they wouldn't have to face the voters in a few months anymore.

@calicuz Under normally circumstances Republicans would absolutely hate this bill, it is the exact opposite of what they claim they fight for.

But I guess the Republicans have just admitted their cucks to Lord Trump and won't stand up for the American people.

@Tastyfrzz Then they have nothing to lose. Fight the power.

@Pretzel she sure died that way! LolZ.
