As a kid

imagined people

naively sure it'd be
necessary due to
polluted air.
Never thought the cause
would be a #president
seeing #evil everywhere.

Yes, America is divided.

So, let's have two different countries.

They can have the theocratic autocracy of their wet dreams and we can move on with our lives.
This is a message to MAGA-Republicans you keep saying that Democrats want free stuff and that the government can't do anything right so you voted for Trump. It's time for a little education.

Their plan...

"Hide the numbers while we integrate AI with the economy. But don't give the people any UBI. If they cannot be successful using only their own resources, they don't deserve to be successful...unless it's us."

Consolidate Social Security with all other government cash payouts and look for waste, fraud and abuse in the Pentagon. Further, end all no-bid contracts. I think that will give us enough to do a UBI. If not, there's always MMT.

Instead of going to work, you can just go to the gym or learn to play an instrument. You'll be able to travel. Debit cards are accepted around the world. Participate in your community more. Donate to your favorite charity.

The end of work has its perks

If you need work to define you...

AI is just beginning. How can it be already approaching a bubble?

The issue with AI is not that it's in a bubble. The issue is massive unemployment 😭.

Right now, as we speak we can hear the faint screams of jobs going through the AI slaughterhouse.

The screams will turn into silent thunder...

The feds will arrest one of our leaders and then all of the blue states will stop sending money at all to the federal government.

They will instead keep the money.

And use it to pay for the health care of their residents.

If Trump really wants a white America, then there really IS no hope.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

He wants to punish those who voted against him. So, why wouldn't he want to reward the people who voted for him?

Why can't he just send the troops out to the red areas?

They can all lodge and eat at truck stops around people who believe in what Trump is trying to do.

The people in the red states see nothing wrong with police and soldiers being one and the same.

And Christmas at the truck stops would be a community affair.

All these rural communities who can barely afford to keep a sheriff.

It just makes sense. Kill two birds with one stone.

Even if the red rural communities support and voted for Trump, and the blue urban areas did not, there still has to be troops in the urban areas simply because the rural areas want them there?

Is there ANY way we can get them to see how audacious that is?

A video, music or art?

Maybe we can use a performative strategy like "over-identification?"

Dress up as agents and go to the main squares of these small towns and "protect" them.

Go out to the cornfields and "guard."

How do you communicate to people—especially rural conservatives—that sending troops into cities they don’t live in, didn’t build, and don’t understand, is an audacious violation of American norms?

Ruralites should look at their urban counterparts as siblings they don't always agree with and that's fine.

Even if we don't dissolve into two countries along red-blue lines, the ruralites bring their products to the markets in the big cities BECAUSE they are global points of contact.

Tax cuts for the wealthy helped blow holes in the budget but aren't the whole story. National debt comes from wars, recessions, covid spending, rising health care costs, interest payments, and a Congress that refuses to match spending with revenue.

The reason the SAME people are in Congress 'forever' is voters are only given ONES choice -- 1 R or 1 D -- usually the incumbent! It's fucked (rigged) to the max!!!

Trump ordered 500 more National Guard troops to DC after two Guardsmen were shot near the White House.

Saying more troops will stop violence is like saying more alcohol will stop drunk driving.

This is the entire premise of the regime. Everything they do is designed to steal as much money as they can from the American people.
We don’t want their cheap crap.
He will build the cheapest structure and pocket the millions he overcharged for the project. A very common practice in dictatorships. They come up with any project to funnel money to themselves
