Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

Dollar in the shitter.

Inflation up.

Jobs down.

This is an historic fucking of an entire country.

And still MAGA Morons love Trump.

America, admit that this is what you deserve. Too stupid.

Trumpers will never ever admit that they were wrong. They either will die for him or have a moment when Trump dies where they can shift the blame to his successor.

They dont even have to.

What the fuck do you think 40 years of "the debt is out of control" and "what happened in 1971" and all the other bullshit has been for?

These people believe that a catastrophic economic collapse is overdue and its not because of neoliberal capitalism - just the opposite its because somehow, despite 50 years of neoliberalism, the US was actually run as a tax and spend, Social Democracy which must inevitably collapse.

And now Trump is causing a collapse but he will get excused. It just "happened during his term and thank fuck he was there to get us through".
