It's a cult. I overheard two Trumpers talking how the tariffs will only hurt for a little bit, but once everything religns, things will be great.
The military
wrong trumps pockets
Golfing is expensive these days.
How much for a room at a Trump hotel for the secret service? Asking for a friend.
Same place that our world's highest expenditures on education and healthcare go: Corporations.
Private military contract to billionaires like musk
It's a reverse reverse funnel system
Unrelated, is this a newer format on Twitter or are people manually recreating simple Twitter screenshots for some reason?
It might be mastodon. I don't know though. Maybe it's just a twitter skin
Nope, that's not Mastodon. Neither account exists there.
You didn't think they actually spent ten thousand dollars for a hammer and thirty thousand for a toilet seat, did you?
I mean, look at me. I look like a schlemiel
Did not expect an Armageddon reference.
Independence day?
Oh shit, I think you're right. My bad.

i think we should plan the revolution as a hypothetical. lay the blueprints out online for everyone to see. it's as easy as "if i were going to do X, i would begin by X. if a lot of us did X together then..."
revolution by committee with full transparency. when the plan involves millions of people acting in unison, there's not a whole lot you can do about it, even if you know what's coming.

I jest, but this isn't what motivates people. Movements happen because people care about them. Something that has meaning.
It's not a revolution, but a general strike would force the government to make changes.
I make the equivalent of $1800/month. I barely make ends meet. Every time I strike I incur a $80 deduction for the working day I skip. Sometimes I cannot afford to strike.
You're not wrong. But there won't be enough people. Too many people not willing to risk what they have for a chance at a better world.
Inb4 "doomer post" I'm trying to be realistic. It would be incredible if we could all save up a month's worth of food and all strike for an entire week.
I think a general boycott might be more realistic. Look at Target, look at Tesla. But even then, do you think we could get enough people to stop using Amazon for a month? The only thing they care about it money, so that's where you have to make waves.
Imo, ideally, perfect world and 100% buy-in, we would all have vegetable gardens. When someone needs a new roof it would only cost them raw materials because neighbors would come after their 9-5 to help with free labor, or if someone's car broke down they could take to "that guy" in the neighborhood who has tools and knowledge. And he would only charge for parts because the neighborhood helped him for free with his roof. People taking care of people, not for money but because it makes the world a better place for everyone. The less people are dependent on "the system", the less control it has over them.

With far fewer irs agents, they can't effectively audit tax cheats.
We are funding the complete destruction of Palestine.
Golf is expensive.
He's been sued 220 times for the 100 days he has been in office. Lawyers are really expensive. (Well unless you blackmail them.)
My ex is a lawyer, I know stuff I could blackmail her with, nothing bad just personal stuff that you'd not be happy being public. I wouldn't dare try it, even if I was inclined too.
Blackmail is illegal regardless if what you're after. At the very least I'd lose my job.
You can't really blackmail lawyers unless they are actually corrupt. Never mind, they're his lawyers, of course they are.
Blackmail might be too strong of a word, but he did strongly encourage a law firm to give him free services so their security clearances weren't revoked. It's good to be king, I guess.
Trickle down economics
For the past 50 years they've tried to give the wealthy some money but no matter how much they gave the rich, only a little trickled down to the poor
So they've decided to just turn on the money fire hose and shower the rich with all the money they can get their hands on ... it's a literal avalanche of money and hopefully this will trickle down and get some more money to the poor.
For every million they send to a rich person, ten bucks goes to a street person .... so we need to spend billions, trillions of dollars on these rich people in order to get enough money to people in need.
Trickle down economics
A sound bit to fool the common clay rubes - fools them over, and over, and over. Rinse and repeat.
I can actually picture someone making this argument in earnest.
If you got 10 bucks for every million towards billionaires you'd actually be a millionaire. The ratio was more like a cent for every million.

Every GOP accusation is an admission. Where is the money going? Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
And bitcoin, so it’s untraceable
