It has been proven over the past decade that memes have real political power.

That was a serious statement and not a joke.

Has he actually explained a plan to even "cut our taxes" because if I recall every tax proposal that's come up raises the taxes on people living paycheck to paycheck.

gotta pay for the tax cuts for the wealthy some how--it all can't come from cuts to essential social services, or by increasing the national debt, ya know.

Well yeah, liar is going to lie... but worth at least pointing out, he's claiming we'll make it up in tax savings... but then he's raising taxes on us.

"hillbilly"

Kind of the way Katy Perry is an astronaut.

Even people who were once poor and struck it rich usually quickly lose touch with what it feels like to be poor

I'm not sure about that one. If you've been poor you're semi-terrified of ever being poor again. It can make you do strange things which sometimes causes you to end up poor again.

Gotta be ok with owning firearms to do that. Progressives neutered themselves and even still with the gov going the way it is, have anti-2a people still leading.

That’s why the pope died.

JD Vance sucked his last will to live right from his body.

Welp, time for him to suffer similarly. As a public employee, his salary should be $7.25/hr, and have $10 in his checking account.

Republicans and Trump Admin Will Garnish Struggling Borrowers' Wages as Student Loan Payments Resume

The Trump administration on Monday announced that it will resume involuntary collection measures against defaulted federal student loan recipients, including garnishing wages, tax refunds, and Social Security benefits and "other actions to help borrowers get back into repayment," as the U.S. Department of Education euphemistically said.

"Resuming collections protects taxpayers from shouldering the cost of federal student loans that borrowers willingly undertook to finance their postsecondary education," DOE said in a statement notifying the public that collections will resume May 5. "This initiative will be paired with a comprehensive communications and outreach campaign to ensure borrowers understand how to return to repayment or get out of default."

Taxpayers wouldn’t have to shoulder that debt if it were simply canceled.

I know republicans would never dare make it easier on students to learn, but, this argument is bs.

It will be worth it when they fucking rebel. We are three missed meals away from revolution.

three missed meals

I thought it was 9, but I guess with intermittent fasting, it could be the same time frame

18

This is America. This can mean 4000 calorie meals at the extreme end. So we require fewer meals to miss to reach the mean calorie count of most other countries which equal 9 meals.

This is America we're talking about. They won't rebel. They'll blame their neighbours and start killing each other (moreso than they already are.) The only people who'll be safe are the people at the top.

The first president of Estonia after regaining our independence, was once quoted saying "The situation is shit, but it's the fertilizer of our future."

The meaning is very similar, in that he was saying that the hard times need to be suffered for things to get better, but what's different between him and the current American administration? Well, for one, the situation wasn't shit because of his personal ego trade war, it was shit because the economy was shit in every ex-soviet nation for a time. It took time to accustom to independence and free markets. But most of all, he spoke from a place of respect, not one of disrespect. Him saying that was his honesty to the Estonian people. He didn't lie and say everything would get good quickly. This was also a man you could simply approach publicly and he'd answer your questions. Didn't need to be a press release and you didn't need to be a journalist or a celebrity.

What I'm saying is that dear Americans, your current president and vice president simply don't respect you.

So what is the actual strategy at this point? They are being way too bold about this. Like I'm worried they have an escape pod that they're planning to hop on/fly away while they flip us all off and leave us stranded on a smoldering earth.

The goal is to cause civil unrest, to declare martial law and violently put down the unrest. To fragment the US into micro nations, tech cities governed by oligarchs, as well as Christofascist Gileads.

It’s accelerationism, it’s been accelerationism, the weirdos on /pol/ and Mencius Moldbug have been pretty clear on that.

Well I know that, but how does a statement which actually serves to in-group most of America against the administration actually achieve that?

Dividing left and right and instigating a civil war fits with the plan. Splintering factions within the left, white collar vs blue collar, college educated vs non college educated, all of that seems to fit with the accelerationist plan. If you don't keep your base and or military happy though, who fights on behalf of the elite?

I can't even watch the video, like the hell you're fighting to bring prices down

[if] we pursue those energy cost reducing policies...

I see only energy cost increasing policies, the recent forced shutdown of that 800 MW offshore wind farm, no more land leasing for renewables, policies to increase water pressure (=more energy required for pumps and for treating the water), and so on

funny, I'm sure they in return can think of a thing or two you can suck up yourself, you pope killing couchfucker weirdo.
