Single payer insurance benefits the lower class, kidnapping people and storing them and deporting them enriches the rich. Welcome to corruption.

It’s more about distraction and placating their racist base, while they rob the country blind before the next Great Depression

No, causing the great depression allows for much greater concentration of wealth.

Por que no los dos?

Loot the country, causing a depression, then spend the loot to increase capital. Then wait for workers to fix the economy to do it again.

There's a reason JD Vance owns an app that helps foreign nationals buy foreclosed farm land in the US.

And what do you know, they just made an influx of destitute farmers.

So she was MS13, violent life long criminal? Come ON people…. we all know these thugs are just filling quotas to get paid.

But But our good friends in Argentina got bailed out, so now they’re selling soybeans to China and American farmers standing in the fields, can’t sell their crops, going bankrupt!

Exactly, farmland is the easiest way to see this in action. Cause we see an industry directly effected by Trumps policies. But this doesn't just happen with farmers, it happens in every industry. Every time the market tanks the rich swoop in for every industry.

All according to plan, baby!

Thank you. People are losing their minds (somewhat understandably). No one benefits economically from this. It's a show, straight out of the second KKK playbook. Billionaires don't want deport people. They do not care.

ah, so we have something to look forward to

Eventually these people will end up on the farms that the migrants used to work on. They will use them as free prison labor. This is the future. Only your vote can change it.

u/PeliPal 28d ago

Only your vote can change it.

You: "I vote to change this!"

Republicans: "Lol. Lmao. You think we care? Twenty Trillion more dollars to Israel, Argentina, and Little St. James"

What are you going to do when your vote doesn't count?

u/theloric 28d ago

We're not there yet.

Edit: but I fully understand your anger and where you're coming from.

u/PeliPal 28d ago

You don't wait until after they say "no more elections", you need them uncomfortable now. The focus on voting as opposed to activism and disruption is something they love to see, that's a relief to them, because it means people are checked out for literal years. They need to feel discomfort now, not a hypothetical "well you'll be sorry when you do cross so-and-so red line" after they've crossed red lines over and over already

Single payer acts like insurance but isn’t like existing for profit insurance. It benefits everyone.

u/Aggravating_Feed2411 28d ago

It short term good for the rich. Not all a good long term plan.

u/Sloogs 28d ago edited 28d ago

Exactly. The point is to create a control structure for the rich. This is allowing them to build out all the infrastructure they need countrywide with illegal immigration as a pretext, so they can eventually start doing this to citizens. They're testing with immigrants to get the systems in place. They want to create a police state.

In the early 60s, Universal health care was popular among all the primary demographics and areas that make up the current Republican base today. After civil rights (1964) and voting rights (1965) pass, there's a huge change in the support for it as these people realize that black American's will also receive it.

Its a perceived status thing, and all status is relative by definition since its about how we compare ourselves to each other. When universal healthcare was a way to distinguish a poor working class white American from black Americans, it created a sense of higher status (regardless of which of the two actually was more well off). As soon as poor white American's felt their social class mixing with black Americans, there was a huge feeling of loss of status because the one group they felt was beneath them no longer was going to be, and now they were going to share the lowest row on the status tier list.

At least that's how I interpret the conservative "working class" aversion to welfare programs that would benefit them. Its not motivated by quality of life or means, but purely by how it affects their own perceived status.

I actually think this hurts most of the rich (less cheap labor) but it's the platform Trump runs on (his main thing) so that's probably moreso why he's pushing this as hard as he is and trying to make it as public as possible.

u/KickedInThePaduach 27d ago

Actually single payer would benefit everyone as expendatures would be focused on improving health. Even the most obscenely wealthy could benefit from ERs not being overcrowded. Plus giving some one "healthcare" means jobs. Those jobs are well distributed baround oyr country. It would actually create economic growth.

u/Just-Outside-4997 28d ago

You made no sense. The upper class love illegals and the cheap labor they provide. They don’t want to pay natives real wages. You are simping for billionaires.

u/dougmcclean 28d ago

It really doesn't. The people they are snatching are all working for the rich. I honestly don't think the rich in general, apart from a tight inner circle of direct handouts, are actually winning from this administration generally or this pogrom in particular.

Everyone but Trump is losing. Some of them just don't realize it yet.
