2·24 hours agoTrump falls well in line with the Christian tradition of leaders, so much so that he’s king material (“anointed” or a messiah).
He does seem like the nerd that gets bullied by jocks, but that doesn’t make him not fascist. His role is getting more and more like that of Ford a century ago.
What I’m saying is DO NOT PROVIDE SYMPATHY FOR MUSK. It’s a warning.

At least they know about pumpkin season. Honestly, I was shocked to learn that pumpkin spice doesn’t contain pumpkin.

Needs transcripts.
Pin this somewhere.
Obamacare. Also known as Romneycare.
Definitely not vegan pizza.
People should start using the term “cancel” for this, instead of “repeal”. Conservative cancel culture is a very old tradition.
The trickle down thing was obviously wrong many decades ago. Now it’s only said ironically.
Not only do the ‘spoils’ at the stock market not trickle down, but Trump is probably going to give a huge tax cut to rich people in his first week as president in 2025. The only way it can trickle down realistically is by high taxes on the rich paired with UBI or federal jobs programs, which isn’t something that Republicans would do. The Private Public Partnership model also favors the rich as the private company owners and executives take most of the gains while paying terrible wages to everyone else. Hence, “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”.
To be fair, the existence of animal breeders is not fine.
It’s a multifunctional sail.
This is the problem. Americans are not living “affluent” lives. They may have iphones and Netflix, but they are struggling to make rent and buy groceries. Their credit cards are getting maxed out. And their wages are staying flat, certainly relative to the sharp increase in the price of everything.
See that line? That’s some fine affluence. Even if the line is going up a bit.
What you’re simply marking as “groceries” is actually a lot of luxuries, from lots of animal products to out of season fruits and vegetables. And don’t get me started on eating at restaurants.
Here’s the EU in 2021:
I’m from the “winner” country of that chart. Send help. I’m vegan, so I don’t waste my money on luxury animal products. I do waste some money on fair trade coffee and dark chocolate.
Your imperial mode of living (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuFQfSRZH_o) is ending, one way or another. Trump is 100% not going to help the masses. If you want a preview of Trump’s regime in terms of economics, look at Argentina and Milei.
Argentina’s poverty rate this year up until March:
September: The poverty rate in Argentina reached 52.9% during the first six months of Javier Milei’s government, the national statistics agency reported on Thursday https://www.dw.com/en/argentinas-poverty-rate-soars-past-50-under-javier-milei/a-70341471

This is your future under austerity policies, on average. And that’s what Trump’s going to bring.
These movements are sometimes led by fantastically wealthy faux populists who hoodwink gullible voters by promising to solve a litany of problems that always seem to involve money, immigrants, and minorities. The appeals from these charlatans resonate most not among the very poor, but among a bored, relatively well-off middle class, usually those who are deeply uncomfortable with racial and demographic changes in their own countries.
