We will use their horrific agenda to turn voters against them by the millions in the midterms. And yes, there will be midterms. Don’t even think about voicing defeatism and doing their work for them.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

This is what oligarchy is about.

While planning massive cuts to Medicaid, the Republicans are proposing to provide another $235 billion in tax breaks to the top 0.2% of households through an increase in the estate tax exemption.

The very rich get richer. The poor lose health care. Outrageous.

MAGA are low self-esteem white males, with the hero mythos -

waiting for someone to lead them to the greatness *over others* that they felt they always deserved.

Except that their failure to be great are both natural defects (mediocrity) ...

And powerlessness created by being robbed by the 1%.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Many ardently religious people are inherently immoral people, who feel deep shame.

That’s WHY they cling to an institution that will absolve them of this shame or give them a permission structure for it.

But they don’t redeem themselves. They, instead, commit the same sins now for a “good cause."

I wonder how long before we aren’t allowed to diss MAGA on the socials, given that those billionaire assholes were closer to Trump than his cabinet. Anyway, Trump is a fuck nugget fascist and I hope he chokes on a cheeseburger.

Damn straight, Dan!
If someone similar set off a car bomb and their manifesto said flat earth was real, would you believe it?

Bias is a real thing everyone has & we’re more likely to believe something that agrees with us than something that doesn’t.

We waste hundreds of billions a year on health care administrative expenses that make insurance CEOs and wealthy stockholders incredibly rich while 85 million Americans go uninsured or underinsured.

Health care is a human right.

We need Medicare for All.
