And it's a dream because you have to be asleep to believe it. Walmart loves running anyone else out of town by keeping price slow and the store as unprofitable until no competition is around. Then after that's out they'll raise prices because the fuck you gonna do about it?

Same company that has training for its workers on how to apply for food stamps.

So everyone bitches about taxes but think about the Republican campaign against it for years.

Any attempts to simplify taxes has been fought to keep companies like TurboTax and H&R Block profitable, while every chance the Republicans decry any taxes whatsoever so keeps the min wage people against taxes.

But the thing is IRS defunding typically goes after the sections of the IRS that investigates tax fraud from the billionaires and businesses that try to wiggle out after all the tax cuts they've worked through, they've managed to demonize a portion of the government that's supposed to be funding the government and goes after the wealthy that don't pay their fair share.

Greatest thing of moving out of its hometown is actually having choices.

I've been outcyring that Walmart has been the one of the major architects of the downfall of the working class my entire life.

But people who have choices just respond it's cheaper...

That is the part that pisses me off so much about this. Yes. Target capitulated. Yes, Target needs to be told that's not good.

BUT WALTONS FUND THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION!

This can't be said enough, yet we can't get a days boycott on them for fucks sake!

I mean... I lived close to Tulsa and learned about the Tulsa Race Massacre years later through NPR.

Oh, right, Trump's trying to get rid of woke stuff like that.

Not talked about, but I can talk about the Tulsa Race Massacre and the Ludlow Massacre without retribution from the US. I am able to.

I'm concerned when the US military is given full "The people are the enemy" attitude and to protest it becomes illegal.

This is the laziest fucking bullshit excuse every time. Crying up a storm when a fucking literal fascist is on the ticket with an understanding that the guardrails are basically fucking gone and going "Yea, but they didn't give me a reason to go"

Guess what buttercup? You want "action now!" I was trying to drum up action when all that was needed was standing in line for maybe a couple hours and putting your vote in and half these leftists going "We gotta do something!" couldn't be faffed to show up at that line in the sand.

And before "But Biden" or "But Harris", my beating the drum to vote is for your local shit every day where you have FAR MORE control than the DNC but statistics show you probably weren't even aware when these were.

So no... I'm not rallying to y'alls cries because you've proven you'll be fair weather allies at best and probably stay home expecting someone else to save your asses. And when the fire gets tough, those that I know who stayed home can't expect me to lift a finger to help them either because I'll be busy helping those that at least could do the bare fucking minimum to try to course correct instead of just acting smug.

Our society is about to get what it deserves. I feel bad for the 1/3 that did show up and tried. The rest can go to hell for all I care.

Joe Biden

They’ve practically already lost 2/3 of those people

And? The crowd you're talking about is the ones that sat there and asked "Is Trump really so bad?" at the polls, so they're not gonna fight? And likelyhood of us having a fair election is low. Trump and Musk don't care these people are lost.

You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.

Either America as we knew it dies or there’s going to be a radical revolution.

There is no or. The America as we knew it is dead. The level of such is the question and what it looks like after.

But the America we knew had far reaching power through trade and alliances. The America we knew had backing of friends. The America we knew may not have always been in the right and not always successful, but there was expectations of it roughly keeping its deals internationally and rule of law at home. All that is gone.

Now the America today is one that will immediately drop deals on a whim, will turn its backs on its allies to shake hands with enemies, has no friends, has no allies, and no expectation for rule of law.

France... US's oldest ally even before it was a country has committed that if we invade Greenland that they'd commit troops and are looking at offering their nuclear weapons as an umbrella to Europe because the US cannot be trusted. There is no going back to "whoopsies, we made a mistake" like we were able to do last time we got Trump out of office.

Buckle up. We're about to see how far down we can fall.

I've been wondering where the US Tiananmen Square is going to be.
