It's time for the "Working-Class" in America to stand up and shout out indignation for the daily assaults against them from the Republican Party.

The GOP continues its non-stop support for the rich and diminishing any hope or opportunities for the rest of us.

ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Organize & rebel!

The GOP shutdown of our central government didn't start a week ago. It started on day 1 of this horrific Republican Administration.

They have been shutting down/reducing/gutting/terminating scores of federal offices/programs via DOGE, Executive orders & their Big Bad Budget for months!

The dynamics of the Democratic Party hasn't changed. It MUST!

Democrats can't just be a party that just attacks Trump. It must have a vision of hope/specific policy goals and the ability to communicate to the masses.

Dems must embrace the working class as their core constituent. They need help!

Yes, "data is dollars"!

Not only is data valuable financially, but it's also extremely powerful in the hands of a few and in the hands of evil politicians! Our whole lives in those data farms!

AI represent a growing threat that technology has on every aspect of our society.

Technology in general has been good to humanity but now we are beyond the tipping point of gross danger they represent.

It's not just the technology; it's the concentration of wealth among a few that control it!

Ai must be heavily regulated
Democrats want to regulate.
Republicans don't!

The working class already is being attacked by GOP policies like the trade tariff taxes and cuts in social security/Medicare and Medicaid/food stamps and college assistance & labor protection and consumer protection.

Then add the huge cost increase for healthcare for 20 million Americans. IMMORAL!

To me this an immoral "crime against humanity". To totally disrupt the lives of millions of vulnerable hard working immigrant families including so many young children should be prosecuted as a massive crime.

Evangelicals are the backbone of the GOP. Would Jesus Christ act like this?

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 20h

That vile/immoral action would punish the working class.

It would punish our economy

It's taking money out of the hands of workers and giving it to the rich in huge tax cuts.

Yes, there is a HUGE AI bubble

But also, a Real Estate bubble

But also, a stock market bubble

But also, a cryptocurrency bubble

Then toss in an erratic/crazed fascist president who daily/hourly destabilize every freaking market in America and the world. Are we doomed? A "great" depression?

Vance is in great position for extracting wealth from government. He is a private equity investor who now invests his time in the White House for a great financial return in the future.

Miller is an ideologue who is addicted to power. Not so interested in money but extremely interested in fascism

Evidence is surfacing to indicate a quiet political coup in the White House.

Stephen Miller is the new President/dictator.

Trump just mimics the crazed fascist tactics of Miller

Trump is old and totally uninformed. Easy to manipulate.

Miller has taken control. Worse than trump! CHILLING!

The price of gold has skyrocketed to over $4,000/ounce!

Gold has always been considered a safe haven investment during turbulent economic times.

The US dollar is plunging. No confidence is US$.

The Republican party is instability on steroids.

This is horrible news for the working class!

Don't be distracted by the GOP manufactured fear campaign about crime. Crime is down across America after the COVID spike.

Crime is growing in the White House. Unconstitutional acts and overt corruption.

Focus on the economy for the working class. It's horrible and getting worse via GOP policies!

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

This is why Republican are successful at the polls.

They lie; distort facts/create false narratives and legacy media and social media parrot these lies without context or the real facts.

It's so easy to lie. Much more difficult to explain the facts with most complex issues. This is unsustainable

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

The right-wing radical populist template for governing has failed & will always fail. To its core, it's a big lie.

Small government w/few regulations is a disaster for the working class. The rich love it. They thrive in it.

Right wing populism didn't work in Argentina. NOT in USA!

Any of these egregious levels of savings will go directing into the hands of the rich via HUGE tax cuts!

This is how the rich get richer and the working class gets poorer.

Clearly GOP have created government by the rich, for the rich. Screw the rest of us!

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

The number one function of government is to protect the public and respect science.

Clearly, Republicans can't protect the public. For worse, they are establishing a dangerous environment for the next disease/virus/pandemic costing millions in lives and $billions and $billions in financial loses.

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

Don't listen to or believe any promise by Trump or the Republican Party. They talk lies but always support big corporate business in their consequential actions.

Lies and false hyperbolic promises by Republicans are their number one tactic in winning elections!

The GOP have lost all credibility!

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

It's hard to determine the detrimental effects of a government shutdown when America has been experiencing daily cuts in services via DOGE cuts & the Big Bad GOP Budget.

Republicans don't like government. They don't like ObamaCare and don't care about the working class. They undermine government

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

Lies, lies and more lies. Does anyone believe this alleged telephone call with Somalia? He does this all the time ... creating false narratives to fortify his horrific policy decisions.

But the media continues to parrot these lies and it continues to benefit Trump.

Netanyahu's genocide of Gaza is doing more harm/long-term harm to Israel and Jewish people around the world than Hamas!

Netanyahu is not eliminating Hamas; he is growing their numbers as survivors seek retribution for the carnage of human beings and the essential infrastructure in Gaza!

I have to take out my sunglasses when I view this video. There is so much freaking gold glittering in the White House, it blinds me!

Note the price of gold has skyrocketed to $4,000/ounce today illustrating instability in financial markets due to erratic dangerous policies of the GOP!

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

Republican policies have been devastating for the working-class in America. Not only healthcare, but with more taxes, less consumer protection, less labor rights protection, less benefits like Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid/food stamps ...etc.

The working class made a massive mistake w/GOP!

dominiondem.bsky.social @dominiondem.bsky.social · 1d

There is no justice in the justice department. They are ignoring egregious white-collar crimes instead focusing on political retribution & jailing innocent hard working immigrants.

Accept the fact. America is no longer a Democracy. It's being ruled by the rich & right-wing radicals! CHILLING!

Republicans have destabilized financial markets & commerce in America & around the world. What is the point? It's actually harming America more than the rest of the world.

The US dollar is weaker which reflects the lack of confidence in investing in America. We are now a financial/political risk.
