The Republican Party did not save us from ourselves.
And now 1/3 of our citizens will be persecuting, jailing, deporting, and killing another 1/3 of our citizens while the last 1/3 watches the Fascist Apprentice on Fox News.

When I was in Congress we were constantly told to not call social security a “Ponzi scheme” unless we want to never win another election.
Elon Musk just called social security a “Ponzi scheme.”

DOGE uses the word "fraud" to destroy in at least 6 ways:
1) The bait and switch. When Musk says "fraud," people who benefit from government programs are supposed to think "that applies to others, but not to me." The idea of "fraud" creates a sense of us-and-them.

This is quite significant in many ways: the overt thuggery, Trump’s barely suppressed fury at being contradicted by a woman, the governor’s standing up, the total abandonment of the pretense of federalism, the continuing use of trans Americans the way Hitler used Jews.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
