I always knew some stuff in the USA were odd. But what I read in the last weeks blasts my imagination. I mean the USA has such a strong economy and is leading in all the future technologies. But then I read articles like these. It sound like a third world countries problems. I think I understand more and more why the people are so angry about the politicians. But then they vote Trump who is lying to their faces and does the exact stuff which harms the voters even more.
Republicans defund and weaken public education wherever they can, which of course they are now doing nationally, and then they make people very angry at the state of their lives and tell them it’s someone else’s fault. Their voters are sad, hurt people who have forgotten how to think and are easily convinced to vote for the people that hurt them.
It is just unbelievable how greedy some people are even if they already have a lot more than they need. They don’t care about making a nothers miserable live even more miserable just to accumulate more of whatever.
I just hope this does not happen in Europe.
I hope so, too. There need to be bastions of good in this world, and that won’t be the US again.
Don’t forget, we’re forcing people to have babies now.
You mean the abortion rights?
The US and Israel have a lot in common. They like starving children.
At least the US is starving its own kids.
Much patriotism.
Mostly the brown ones
There’s more poor white kids because there are more white people, it’s kids in general that are in poverty, and then republicans are wondering why no one wants any kids
All I’m saying is that the only things stopping shit from getting real have always been things like reliable shelter and food. We’ve been in a “housing crisis” for about 10 years now and now they are taking away peoples food and health care. If you’re not willing to give people the things that they need to survive it’s only a matter of time before they decide to take it themselves. If they weren’t trying so hard to change history they’d pick up some history books and learn a thing or two. I’m not saying anything is going to happen, I’m just saying history tends to repeat itself.
Except how many poor countries with oligarchies and fat dictators actually have populations that fight back? We’ve shown time and time again, we’re Russians, not French.
The Russians, who have famously never violently murdered their rulers and instituted a socialist form of government
Eh, they seem real content these days to just be downtrodden and hungry.
Thing is, they’ll take it from their fellow person and community. Most will never connect the dots that it is the those up top that need to be taken down.
In any notifications to the affected, they should be told that Donald Trump is the one taking their welfare away.
Around 50% of babies are born on medicade and they slashed that by close to a trillion so….The only solution is a French style revolution
