    Actually he isn’t allowed to run charities anymore because he ran a “Trump fund” for sick children, and… it all went to Trump so…

    Yeah he is Anti-Curing Childhood Cancer

      Give him some credit… he also suggested ingesting bleach. Technically it would have killed COVID and guaranteed the patient never got COVID or any other sickness ever again.

          Just to clarify, the Maga chuds dying from drinking bleach, od’ing on ivermectin and getting sunburns in their colon would have been a net gain for humanity. Which is why it’s taking all my restraint not to say anything about birdflu and raw milk.

    I didn’t expect…

    Good news everyone!

    I’ve developed a nearly foolproof method for preventing anyone else from sharing this fuckin sucker’s experience, and will share it here - free of charge - today only!

    It’s simple. All you have to do is ask yourself a single question: Does X effect Trump’s Y?

    Replace X with the issue or item you’re concerned with.

    Then replace Y with one of the following: health | self-image | bank account | stock market

    If your answer is ‘No,’ congratulations, you now know that Trump will indeed NOT give a single fuck about your problem. Also, it’s probably some sort of peasant issue anyway.

    If your answer is ‘Yes,’ you’re likely still fucked somehow! 😁

    I knew he was going to hurt poor people, trans people, immigrants, US citizens born of immigrant parents, US citizens of color, women, children, and even people in need of healthcare and research. that was all fine. it was fun, actually, i made fun of them online, and tried to rub it on their face after the election as much as possible.

    … but I didn’t think he would also hurt this very specific portion of them which also affects me.

    fuck cancer, and fuck this guy. this guy is cancer.

          I volunteer at a food bank, and the number of people with maga hats and bumper stickers getting free food is astounding. They also are far more rude when they do not like what free food they are given, or when we do not have a lot of food for them.

They are so stupid they will accuse you of calling them that when being asked critical thinking questions when they bitch about brown-skinned immigrants “taking over.” I get tired of people saying they are going to “stay and fight” when they are too cowardly to call out close family members who do this.

      This is my mother. In her 80s, racist AF, conservative, voted for Trump, has cancer, on Medicare, etc. Now she expresses her worry that Medicare funding will be cut. But she’s also betting that because Musk is a “genius” he won’t take benefits away from the elderly.

        It’s even worse/dumber than this, due to her federal unionized employment pension. Unions are apparently evil, despite her pension and paying for her Medicare B late enrollment penalties. The brain rot is really maddening and sad to see in person.

      I don’t know how the Democrats managed to ignore it when all the data they had made it very clear people didn’t care about identity politics anymore. They’re working 80-100 hours a week at three jobs for the privilege of housing their kids in a roach-infested studio apartment and they’ve seen their purchasing power diminish so much that they’re having to choose between food, rent, and their prescription drugs.

      Yes, they’re unlikely to care about racism right now.

      That’ll happen when your basic, everyday existence is in survival mode, and it doesn’t make them bad people. It makes them sad and desperate.

        The sad part is anyone with half a brain knows conservatives won’t fix these issues (the capitalist class are having record profits as they squeeze the working class like this, and they are now in full control).

        What we are looking at is a dead democracy - a zombie really, it died years ago when it became an oligarchy (or maybe the death process started years ago)

          The sad part is anyone with half a brain knows conservatives

          Both parties rule as conservatives, so there really is no choice unless you’re pulling the lever for the Green Party, and we can look at our history and see that they have no real shot either outside of local elections. Look at how Biden’s presidency went, for example: Abortion became criminalized, massive inflation (and record corporate profits), record numbers of new homeless every year… and his major focuses seem to have been keeping his scumbag son out of prison and funneling as much money as possible to war.

          My advice to people is this: Don’t donate your money to political parties. Put it in stocks instead, and at least your investments will have some measure of representation. There are even ETF’s you can invest in that follow the stock trades of notorious insider-trading federal legislators. (Tickers NANC and KRUZ)

            Oh fuck off, this is your typical “both sides are bad” argument to keep people from voting - we know it’s the conservatives in SCOTUS that shitted on Biden, the corporations are price gouging us (the corporations are the true masters btw, and we know it) and the Hunter shit was the usual conservative media shit they do every cycle (email servers, laptops, Hunter).

              Two things can be true. The Democrats can be an absolute shit show of conservatives masquerading as a party of hope and change. And you absolutely should vote for them instead of republicans, because despite that, they’re still better, and at least they won’t be throwing us all in camps.

              But it doesn’t mean they’re good, or that they can fix any of this shit. It means they’re, at best, a minor stop gap for us to get organized around something better. The Dems aren’t going to save us, they’re corporately controlled and have a vested interest in making sure things don’t improve too much, lest they lose the easiest way to gain money: by being the slightly better alternative to literally fucking dying. Do I wish Kamala had won? Absolutely. Do I think we’d have gotten anything out of a Kamala win? Nope. I think we would have sat stagnate for 4 years at the federal level while republicans continued to chip away at any and everything they could at the state level. But it would have given us 4 years without active decline in the Fed and potentially allowed us to rally behind an actual progressive and build a progressive wing in the Democratic party that could have helped us in the long run.
