They played us against ourselves and won.
I meant "Us" generally.
Non-Generally: A lot of us also saw it coming and are watching it happen.
Now we, meaning all of us, need to either accept it and do something about it or continue to deny it and submit.
This -is- the end game.
I can't tell you what to do, because it's going to take a lot. But find whatever makes sense to you, and find people who agree.
I know it's going to get worse before it gets better, but i'd rather "better" come sooner.
What exactly do you think right vs left refers to?
that is why, crash tesla stock so that Elon loan collateral will be cashed out by bank forcing Elon to pay tax.
Durrrr both sides.
Compare Project 2025 to HR1 and stfu.
The people vs the rich/the corporations
Can we cut them out of society when we cut their taxes to 0? Seems fair. Just revoke their citizenship
I’m of the opinion that the Cold War never ended. Instead, it became like Syphilis and low-key kept its head down for years before coming back with a vengeance.
What we need to do is fight back and force-educate our simpleton brethren that right now are victims of propaganda. This might be a good time now that there are those who are having their faces eaten by leopards.
Sure it’s deserved; it’s kinda funny; and fuck them for backing bone fide traitors; but they are still Americans, and at some level they deserve pity and empathy for their mistakes.
And if we take out of a few billionaires along the way, then all the better everyone is for it.
Give ‘em Hell!
It was the decades of corrupted legislation from the "Right vs Left" mentality since Watergate that got them where they are. These billionaires, specifically these two clowns, are the metastasized end result of a cancer ridden system.
Left vs right is working people vs billionaires. It is right-wing propaganda trying to deny or obfuscate that. That is why socialism is left-wing and free-market neoliberalism is right wing.
There is no right wing propaganda in my statement. "Working people" includes the magats that got these clowns where they are now. Wtf is free-market neoliberalism being the right? I thought the extreme right were the magats. This is why everything is the way it is and proving my point. Nobody can agree on anything and everyone has their own idea of saving the world.
Fascism and neoliberalism is right-wing and market based. Again, terms are purposefully obfuscated and disingenuously misused, but fascism is about privatization and deregulation (Privatisierung, in the original Nazi). While technically some working class are part of reactionary movements like MAGA, it is disproportionately either the Lumpenproletariat or not working class but what Republicans pretend is the working class (reactionary small business owners, who are working class because of some cultural marker like wearing blue jeans and liking country music or hating woke). We live in a liberal, capitalist system. So socialism is almost always, by definition, left wing and pro-capitalist and pro-billionaire politics is almost always, by definition, right-wing.
It's kinda right and left vs everyone else
