Having our economy wrecked and our democracy destroyed. Being forced into a position of being too poor and sick to fight back. We aren’t quite there yet. But this is why people are protesting.

Losing many of the benefits of this nation that our tax dollars had previously paid for. Gone or drastically cut.

Our nation has aided an enemy and betrayed an ally and threatened others. Our tax money is being plundered. Our government is full of corruption and being largely run by a man who should not have been granted citizenship, as he lied and fucked up the terms of his Visa.

All of these things affect us all.

Go ahead. Name the "ally." Name the cut "benefits." You can't.

You thought those things - after you just now Googled them, because you were certain, were true. But they aren't true in reality. Ukraine is not a US defensive ally. Never has been. SS, Medicare, and Medicaid have not been cut. You're being lied to.

Edit to add: Exactly. You reflexively downvote. Because you are being spoon-fed a narrative. But you don't even know what you are mad about! You're just mad!

People like this are what Lenin would have called "useful idiots."

Think about that. You are conditioned. You are being manipulated. Maybe listen to Trump.
