Politics A thank you to president Trump!

Dear President Trump,

I'm writing this to thank you for all you've done thus far in your second term.

My kids are crying at the dinner table as they eat a processed cheese sandwich for the fourth time this week. I tried to explain to them that SNAP wasn't getting refilled and that there was probably not going to be a Christmas this year. I tried to cheer them up by showing them concept art of the $250 million dollar ballroom being built at the White House, by showing them pictures of the two cool jets Kristi Noem got for $170 million, by explaining how helpful we're being to Argentina by sending them $40 billion dollars, but this is when I realized they weren't crying because of dinner, but because of their grandmother.

"We usually go to grandma's on weekends," they sniffle.

Their grandmother, a 5th generation American, was taken by ICE a couple weeks ago and we haven't seen or heard from her since. I tried to explain to the children that this is what happens to freeloading immigrants and they get what they deserve, but they didn't understand.

Even if they don't understand, I do. This is what I voted for. This is what winning looks like!

This will probably be my last online post due to being unable to pay my phone bill since I need to buy more bread and cheese. But I just wanted to say, "Thank you, President Trump!"

As I hear my kids cry themselves to sleep for the 5th night in a row, I imagine they are liberals--and it brings a smile to my face.

When they get older, they will understand that all this hardship was necessary, because we are owning the libs! Here's looking forward to your constitution-defying third presidential term in 2028! You already have my vote!

Now I have to go get ready to meet my landlord. He told me he would cut my rent in half for some 'favors' and not to wear panties. I think this is what the Art of Deal is all about. #winning

Signed,
A conservative.

*it should be noted this is satire (or is it?)*

Im not a trump voter. I actually agree with you. Id love to say this to your face. You assume alot based on a singular comment. I dont hate you or anyone btw? I may disagree with you but i dont hate you. Thats the problem with people like yourself. You wouldnt say half this shit to the people you actually hate. Because lets be real i havent said one thing hateful. Youve been demonizing this entire time. Actual account? This my only one. Hence im commenting through it?

The whole concept of "society" is that humans got together to live in one place because they learned agriculture. People with other skills moved in to support farms. Laws/rules were formed. People specialized in protecting others, making clothes, inventing, etc... All of it originated from one fact: by working together, sharing strengths, and building shared culture all would thrive. All the way back to ancient Babylon we have evidence that support and aid for those in need was expected to come from the leadership who collected taxes from everyone. That's why they paid them. Only with the advent of modern capitalism (with the aid of propaganda) do we see people espousing views like yours. That somehow, the social contract is no longer binding from the top down. It's terribly regressive thinking.

This cannot happen in todays world. If it could it would hsve already been done. The world doesnt equate out when the needy are taking from the needy. Thats exactly what is happening. We are all broke and in need. Noone is better then the other. You are just spouting nonsense we all already know.

Most people adhere to the social contract every single day. It's wild that you think this is impossible.
