"The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn't be able to."
Social media post by azspot "Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn't be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves." - Everyone Into The Grinder

What's that trickling down in the new golden age?
Social media post by Jim Wright, November 9, 2015, in three images, black text on white, part 1: It's hasn't been that long, you know. Only a single generation, maybe two. That's it. See, back before the end of WII and the rise of the new Middle Class, a handful of very wealthy men owned everything. They owned the factories and all the jobs. They owned the towns and the schools and the hospitals and the stores and the roads and even the churches. They owned the banks and so they owned all the land and all the houses and all the farms too. Social media post by Jim Wright, November 9, 2015, in three images, black text on white, part 2: There wasn't any middle class. There were the very wealthy and there was everyone else. And everyone else was little more than a peasant who paid the wealthy for the privilege of eating out of their garbage cans. That's why the rich today sell Americans on the idea of Trickle Down Economics and we believe them. That's why we still think of the rich as the job creators, the job OWNERS. That's why we think healthcare being a privilege of labor for wealthy owners is right and fair. The hierarchy, the rich and the subservient, is built into our collective memories, this idea of kissing the wealthy's boot for the privilege of merely living. Social media post by Jim Wright, November 9, 2015, in three images, black text on white, part 3: Nowadays, less than two generations later, everyone else has forgotten this. But the rich NEVER have. That's what Trump means by "Golden Age."

Poster with text and no images: THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION CALLED "ANTIFA." Antifa stands for anti-fascism. World War II veterans were Antifa because they fought fascism. Anyone who is against fascism is Antifa. There is no membership card. Anyone can be Antifa. Everyone should be Antifa. ANTIFA

“Laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just the promise of violence that’s enacted and the police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean?”

Social media post from zozo.fit They say history's being rewritten--no, their mythology is finally being exposed. The original myth was theirs: that America was peacefully 'settled,' nobly 'founded,' and rightfully 'owned' by white people. As historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz put it: 'The myth of the white settler nation is the foundation of American exceptionalism." It's the lie that erases Indigenous genocide, downplays slavery, ignores immigrant labor, and calls it all "freedom."

Either they have no clue what they're actually saying, or they know exactly what they are saying.
Social media post from PragerU Young people are enamored with "anti-racist" rhetoric because they think they are fighting racist systems in America. The TRUTH is they are fighting America itself and the very values the country was founded on. Comment from Austin Kocher. PhD Oops. I think you accidentally said the thing out loud,

State terrorism is still terrorism.
Social media post from Stephen Miller: The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks. Response from Terrorism EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as "State Terrorism": When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population. There is no left wing terrorism organization or machine. They iust want to kill Americans.

If the answer isn't nepotism, this is just the rich telling you it's all your fault you're poor.

Republicans want Democrats to approve Americans fighting for scraps while a dictator cements his throne and the rich steal more, or else the government shuts down while Americans struggle. If the choice is the rock of capitulation or the hard place of resistance, say 'fuck you, make me'.

To the Democrats in the US Senate and House, for when their Republicans colleagues demand they vote for budget cuts for everyday Americans and tax cuts for the rich I offer this rallying cry.
