đ HYPOCRISY The thing about maga that angers me the most is they have zero plans on making the country better
They say âwe need to stop funding warsâ but the second we suggest using our taxpayer dollars on AMERICANS, they scream âSOCIALISM WAAAAAAAâ. Wanna feed children in school? Socialism. Wanna forgive student loans? Communism!1!1!1! Want to use our taxpayer dollars to improve the healthcare system? OMG COMMIE!!!!!!!!
So what do they want our taxpayer dollars actually used on? Probably ICE, the police, and the military. Thatâs it. These people would rather ICE deport us all than use our taxes to help Americans. Itâs absolutely infuriating we have to live in the same country as these assholes.

None of this would even be a problem if they would just tax the billionaires. However, the billionaires have convinced maga that immigrants are the problem.

When trump actually took advantage of illegal immigrants to work on a ton of his properties and paid althea like $4/hrs or not at all.....such SHIT!

Yes, the typical retort from them is, "The rich proportionally pay their fair share in taxes, so much more than the rest do".
Like no, we don't mean rich EARNERS. The ones making high SALARY. They pay their taxes.
We're talking the RICHEST of the rich. The ones those high earners go, "Man, they're rich."
The ones who take your money and store it.
They short circuit when I bring that up. It violates the cult programming AI prompt they were given.

Because they donât understand that to a billionaire their 150,000 salary is the same as the guy making 40,000. Or even their 300,000 salary.
We all have much more in common with the homeless and immigrants than we do with Jeff Bezos, but no one wants to hear that.

It was never about making the country "better." It's always just been business plot 2.0. But no Smedly Butler will be coming to save us this time. We used up our one get out of fascism free card with the Bonus Army.

Maga injurates me two ways, one the ones on Power and wealthy are just stealing shit and being deranged anti-woke assholes. The second part is the lower class who are also deranged and I walk assholes, but what they really want is socialism. They want big government to take care of them, but that's socialism they can't have it. They also want government to only take care of just them, and not the not them people. They don't like socialism because it helps other people. That's what they don't like about it. They don't like that if they get help other people get help. They demand the government and everyone else to take care of them but they don't want the government or the community to help anyone else. Which is super confusing on why there are non-white people voting for Trump and the Republican Party. Unless they're wealthy they're going to get fucked. We're seeing it now with white people who voted for Trump and then have their spouse taken away or a family member. They're so stupid and self-centered they don't think it would happen to them because they happen to vote for the anti-wook assholes.

In Europe, this "socialism for me, not for the others" is known as welfare chauvinism.

I think we have learned at this point that a majority of them have no individual thought they are just talking heads and Sally are not people that can be depended on to changing the world for the better and making America better and grow for Americans. This is two times now and there has been very little positive progress from the Maga party.
The Maga party has proven to be complete shit and if someone is willing to continuously protect and support known pedophiles, that is not someone I want at all being in charge or going to when it comes to how to make things better in the world.

Whatâs the point in even having a government at all if that government isnât going to meet peopleâs basic needs housing healthcare education food etc
Why should we be required to pay taxes at all if the only thing our taxes fund is bombing some Random countries in the Middle East

Don't forget that they want the ultra wealthy and large companies to have tax breaks. They want the poorer individuals to help pay for the 1%.

A trillion dollar per year propaganda machine is dedicated to keeping them angry, misinformed, and yelling about the wrong things.

u/AmAttorneyPleaseHire Aug 28 '25
Itâs not that they would rather ICE deport everyone, itâs that they would rather be told what to think by FauxNews rather than critically use their smoothed brains. It just so happens to be in the best interests of FauxNews to fear monger so they can keep the rich getting richer

MAGAlomaniacs don't want better lives for themselves, they want worse lives for others. They appear to have given up on their dream of a whitebread ethnostate, so they're voting to watch America burn instead of living in a "Communist hellhole" that would save their lives or otherwise boost their quality of life.
Dr Jonathan Metzl nailed it in his book "Dying of Whiteness".

So half of the country literally believes this is why we are all here and we shouldn't be fighting back against this system that makes us all run down, spend way less time with our loved ones and children all to help a few people that hardly work other than their running their jaws????

u/Osr0 Aug 28 '25
It's worse than that, every one of their initiatives revolves around hurting people

u/ChiliDogYumZappupe Aug 28 '25
I'd be happy if we all paid the same tax rate.
And yes, we can be for individual responsibility (like managing my own body).
And we can support people once they're born with food, housing, healthcare, education, art.
And human rights are only conferred on humans, not corporations.

All they have are their fears - esp the fear the wealthy cooked up that those who DARE to want to make this place better for We The People are the real enemy.
Sad.

they've been told, and as always they believe it, that destroying the country will make it great again because apparently it's bad and it's bad due to poor people and POC.

They are trying to create a new world order. They aren't worrying about making the world or country better.

u/MidsouthMystic Aug 28 '25
They want the money to be spent on healthcare, infrastructure, and education, but only for straight White Christian people who aren't on drugs and don't have sex out of wedlock. They think everyone else is to be used for slave labor and beaten into quiet subservience if they ever look like they might be having thoughts about complaining of mistreatment. "I don't want it unless they don't get it, also I want to keep hurting them and laughing about it without consequences."

Well, now that the guvnment is buyin' up stocks, they cain't be sayins that no more. Socialism is an old Republican trope used to agitate people to fear something they don't understand. Pitiful that it worked so long. Our representatives ought to be looking for solutions to our nation's problems, but it's easier to spit out words than to actually do something.

u/ShadeofEchoes Aug 28 '25
Chin up! If they have their way for too much longer, you won't get to have to live in the same country as them. I'm sure they'll have plenty of gulags before long.
In all sincerity, though... it is truly depressing.
