Especially when the first things they do are start taking apart consumer and environmental protections, disband social safety nets, increase taxes (tariffs) on imported goods, attack FEMA, and stop farm subsidies, all of which hurt the working class.
Not only do people still believe the ridiculous lie, they believe it despite the mountain of evidence they don’t give a fuck about you.
These guys will let you get mangled in an industrial accident if it would save them a quick buck.
Elon wanted safety colors removed from some warehouse/factory, because he didn’t like how they looked. People got in accidents because of that.
So not even to save money. They’ll risk your life just for aesthetics.
The Johnstown Flood
Rich people tampered with a dam so they could have a nicer ride.
Development included lowering the dam to make its top wide enough to hold a road for a carriageway and putting a fish screen in the spillway. Workers lowered the dam, which had been 72 feet (22 m) high, by 3 feet (0.91 m).[10] These alterations are thought to have increased the vulnerability of the dam. Moreover, a system of relief pipes and valves, a feature of the original dam which had previously been sold off for scrap, was not replaced. The club had no way of lowering the water level in the lake in case of an emergency.
Republicans are dumber than dogshit.
Hey! I like dogs
Astronomical mental instability
well people follow organized religions blindly so…yes
Bro we’re nowhere close to bottoming out, so I hope you’re ready. You’ll feel it when we pass the point of no return.
Methinks that has passed, the bottom is a long way off yet, however point of no return is long gone
The point of no return was when a bunch of wealthy slavers decided to create a country by and for themselves. Everything else is just projection and propaganda.
I think r/conservative said it best themselves
Lord God i just realized. Check the time, too.

Salute you. It’s about letting people know there’s resistance
How long do you think a strike would need to be for to be effective?
And suppose we start with that? Everyone’d be like “that’s way too long”. So let’s start with a day and build from there. And if a day makes them take action then everyone’s a winner.
They’re testing how many people they can get on board to do this. Consider it a trial run.
I hope this workouts!
Watch a bunch of bootlicking red hats turn up and buy twice as much as they normally do to “own the libs” in some way.
I’m the deepest bottom. 😤
We’re all very impressed, and maybe a little terrified.
Just had a conversation with my mother, this afternoon, in which I tried to explain to her that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet were not working in the best interests of the country.
I can’t fathom how anyone could think someone is working for your best interests while simultaneously holding half our nation’s entire wealth just for themselves.
If the other player in Monopoly has all the money and properties and you have nothing, do you still say they are working for your best interests? Wake up, they won the game and you lost.
(Edit: That is directed at your mom and mine and all the others that won’t pay attention to reality)

We’re not playing Monopoly. We don’t all start with an equal chance at taking the board and we don’t get to restart the game after one person “wins”.
We live in a society heavily predicated on private patronage. And yes, people who work their entire lives to achieve the rank of Chief Crony (or even Assistant Deputy Minion to the Chief Crony) and enjoy a comfortable middle class lifestyle as a result, absolutely believe that the Lord In His Castle is working in your best interests by protecting you from the Vikings at the gate and the Angry Starving Peasants rioting in the fields.
Maybe you don’t believe your Lord is a divine agent serving the will of the heavens. But it’s your job to build giant statues and frescos of him with a big golden glowing crown. So of course you’re not going to suggest that work is meaningless (or outright predatory) in public.
Also doesn’t hurt that the Town Crier has been saying “All Hail Lord Buffet! Kindest and Gentlest of Royal Souls! He is far better than the disreputable Lord Musk or Lord Koch who live in the evil castle on the other side of the river” since the day the Berkshire Hathaway Committee to Promote Public Information hired him. Are you going to disagree with the Town Crier? What? Are you allied with the Lords on the Other Side of the River? Fuck you, then.
What tool do people use to make these images with big text? Let alone why bother generating an image where text alone would have been equally sufficient, what even causes these things to come into existence?
Also I 100% agree with the text itself
Stands out against raw text posts, on here, but probably originating on sites like Facebook.
Yeah that seems like some Facebook shit
Let alone why bother generating an image where text alone would have been equally sufficient, what even causes these things to come into existence?
- Facebook text -> screenshot
- Sharing text on every platform isn’t always allowed, images however…
Because some people don’t know how to copy and paste text, and other people don’t discourage these posts by downvoting them.
I’m not even American, but I see constant posts about how “if you hate two men you’re part of the problem” and “he’s not coming after your money” or something.
Also not American and I have acquaintances that believe that these billionaires are good and working for the good of the People. I can’t for the life of me understand how they reached this conclusion and all they say to justify is that all negative things said about them is “woke” nonsense…
It was recently reported that something like 30/40% of the U.K. likes Trump and Musk, but even with that low number, I see loads of people say how amazing they think they are on social media.
I thought Trump was Putin’s bottom.
It is truly baffling to me how desperate some people are to believe this. What in human history has shown any indication that what is happening now is for any benefit other than the billionaires?
Look, i’m not american. Context please? Who believes that?
And where’s the accessible text?
You clearly have the context since you said you’re not American. But to spell it out the context is america electing these people. There’s news articles if you really care, none of us need to spend our time hand feeding you a summary.
What group of billionaires? What’s the context here?
R U nuts?
Elon Musk and his ilk
Just curious, are you american or that white kind of European?
No worries either way. But yea america is in a very visible stage of capitalist controlled oligarchy. The billionaires who run said oligarchy are using propaganda to make it seem like the oligarchy will help the voters who voted for the puppets of said oligarchy.
Ummmm hope this helps or I die before i need to pay a utility bill for oxygen!
You had your test handed back face down, didn’t you
I don’t know what this means or why people are downvoting me. I’m genuinely asking a question
I don’t really follow the news so I’m guessing it’s something I missed
Sadly you’ve been replied to by a bunch of folks who rudely assume a very USA-centric view of the world.
This post is talking about USA politics, where the leader of the country is currently a piece of shit criminal who is allowing billionaires (eg Elon Musk) to do whatever they want and dismantle long established government institutions, under the lie that it’s in the best interests of the country.
I’m honestly glad you haven’t heard about it, you must have done a better job than me of filtering out US news and rhetoric!
If you cant figure it out, I cant help you
Why are you so rude to this person? You know other countries exist outside of North America and folks from anywhere in the world should be welcome on Lemmy even if they don’t know anything about US politics or whatever?
Who said they were not welcome? All i was saying was figure it out. Its very obvious
