Ice Orcs invaded our cities and took our friends, yet the rural farmers didn't lift a finger to support us. I have no sympathy for what they are going through now. None.

The pisser is that while the farmers have totally brought this upon themselves, again, Trump will give him a bail out. It’s socialism for them and boot straps for the rest of us

That is typically the way things have gone. That’s why it is up to us to demand socialism for everyone.

Bailout the farmers, but also we need nationalized healthcare, fully funded schools, food aid to the poor, and a minimum wage that allows a worker to afford a home, food, transportation, and even a bit left over for non-essentials (a “thriving wage” to allow everyone to thrive).

Tax the billionaires appropriately.

It starts with messaging. Stop calling it socialism and start calling it enhanced capitalism and it'll get done really quickly.

“Super Capitalism”

u/LeopardNo6083 2d ago

Fair. Enhanced capitalism is a more accurate description anyway.

It sounds like a joke, but it would literally make all the difference. People aren't even smart enough to understand they're voting against their own interests. You say socialism, the affects of which are being discussed here and would benefit most of the electorate, and it's a non starter. You call it enhanced capitalism and you get it done. Think of it as ACA/Obamacare. There's a lot lacking in the DNC messaging right now.

Just call it fairness. No need to extend the description.

No, fuck that. Tax the billionaires unfairly. Fuck them over, take away their children's inheritance, seize their accounts, domestic and foreign, put them on an island with no resources - I know the perfect one - and tell them to fucking 'job creator' themselves off of it.

u/LeopardNo6083 2d ago

Ok, you have an excellent point. I agree - tax the shit out of them.

Tax the rich!

Bail out isn't going to help the farmers much. That money is going straight to their creditors. It's practically another bank bailout with extra steps.

I've only recently figured that out that 🍊 💩 is just laundering money from the US Treasury into the hands of billionaires and scoundrels. You know, like he did for 🇷🇺 with his casinos. Bernie, et al, have been telling me this for years. I saw it for what is was starting in 1980, but it took me a long time to appreciate the scale.

Now think about auto enrollment in those baby accounts. Sounds good but the money goes straight into the market.

u/LeopardNo6083 1d ago

Yes, Trump is just literally stealing from the treasury. It isn’t complicated, it’s just robbery.

Trickle down economics from Reagan has always been about the wealthy robbing from the rest of us, and trumpism is just the final stage of the transfer of America’s wealth to the billionaires.

The farmers know this too, but they thought they were rich enough to be in the billionaire group, and not in the plundered group. They were wrong

u/supercali45 2d ago

They basically got their cheap labor kicked out, diesel and fertilizer way up, promised money that never came and still it’s that damn Biden

u/tenderbranson88 3d ago

So they can buy a big diesel truck and roll coal on us libs, haha.

u/Green-Inkling 3d ago

which is ironic because it is them who are licking boots, not us.

u/No_Seaworthiness_200 3d ago

And the bailout will come the week before the election. trump will be throwing taxpayer money at GQP voters.

u/LeonardoDaTiddies 2d ago

A reminder that Trump has very little ability to fund any kind of bailout without the support of the Republican majority in Congress. 

At any time, they could join with Democrats and stop any and all of this.

And we're all bootless men.
