Taking the actual food out of the mouths of the poor of this Country to jack up the wealth of the already uber rich. I am sorry I have lived this long to see it.

You actually think the will of the people means a goddamn thing anymore? A third are brainwashed like fucking Moonies. Another third don't give a damn. You'd appeal to the third that's already pissed but so what?

(27,839 posts)constant ads about making America great.. call your republican reps and thank them for keeping jobs in Colorado, and they work.. they really get to people.
Everyone in Colorado knows the name Gabe Evans, but not the Democrat he replaced... who do you think they'll vote for in 2026?
Their brainwashing is working, we need to get on board. Constant, relentless brainwashing with the truth..

I see the country sliding further and further into some kind of 21st century fascism, with 1/3 of the populace actually cheering it on and 1/3 not giving a shit.

(27,839 posts)They spread their lies constantly in big, beautiful ads showing happy people working and how great maga is for America. How about we spread a little truth. Every year is an election year. Why did Omaha elect a Democratic mayor this time?
Hey all you Nebraskans out there.. tell us how you did it!

Republicans do this EVERY time, and this country keeps putting them into the position to do it.

(40,202 posts)In grad school. The students and I found some very revealing graphs, such as the one in the op.
We put them up on a screen and asked people to look at them and write a short description what the graphic conveyed.
I would love to see the looks on the faces as this one sinks in.

(27,839 posts)and it's up to Democrats to show it to them. Spread it far and wide with a minimum 4 ads a day during popular tv shows and not just in election years.
I've heard all the arguments against this, but republicans do it and look who's winning. Propaganda can be our friend too.

There are multiple battlefields in this war & propaganda is one of the most important.

(6,999 posts)Yes Snap and Medicaid will get slashed.
Yes taxes on the upper 5% will get slashed.
Expect a lot of other things that benefit the 95% to get slashed.
But overall spending won't get slashed. It's going to be increased. Huge new contracts are already being written or signed. The agencies that audit are being dismantled. Billions and Trillions for the taking. Pigs at the trough. The 95% will be paying for it for 100 years.....

(92 posts)itself with $20trillion of debt and continues to pay past borrowings, the reckoning in the opinion of the lenders is now here. Trim expenditures to match income or watch it get worse, much worse. Youre overextended & the well is going dry.
