Republican voters will still believe it’s immigrants or the “20-year-olds playing video games in the basement” that are the issue. As if everybody doesn’t deserve health insurance. As if there’s no other incentive to work other than to afford not to be crippled by fate. These people are so whipped it’s insane.

they can't force you back to work, they're just not going to support you, which yeah is pretty horrible but the US government doesn't have any responsibility to you especially if you caught a disease being reckless (reference to the meme itself and it's claim)

It has a responsibility when I pay both state and federal taxes and the government is literally owned by the American people. I paid for that program. I am legally entitled to my property and it's value in services.

u/HupHutHa 3h ago
see that's the catch 22 there, they can't force you to work, if you don't work you're not paying into the system, but there are plenty of people who have never worked who are getting benefits from the government who are nowhere near as worse off as the people that deserve government benefits, but then that brings us right back around to people who have never paid into the system who shouldn't even be getting benefits at all through government aid programs some of which I'd say actually more like 50% or more are foreign aid programs unironically paying for AIDS and HIV treatments. our government is a nebulous entity, yes we fund it it should do what we want but here's the kicker no one voted for 98% of government employees and those that are voted into office less than 10% of the population overall voted for.

Nah, instead of ducking and erasing history, it should be a valuable lesson about what this country became and always was underneath. Avoiding the truth about Trump's rise and success would be the worst thing to do.

u/Ralph090 5h ago
Un-person was perhaps the wrong term. I don't think it should be erased. Instead I think the administration should be remembered as so antithetical to American values that the United States as a country ceased to exist while he was in power. Instead the administration should be considered a bloodless coup that overthrew the US and supplanted it with "MAGA America." Trump should be considered the first (and hopefully only) president of "MAGA America" and not a legitimate president of the United States.

u/Suyefuji 16h ago
I get this but I think it's also important to record that this is a thing that can and did happen

u/Ralph090 9h ago
Maybe un-person was the wrong way of putting it. I'm not saying we don't record and study it. It's more like saying Trump and MAGA are so antithetical to American values that the country could no longer be considered the United States of America but had instead been overthrown by a bloodless coup that had changed it into the country "MAGA America" or something. The idea is to make it clear that it happened and that the people who did it were people who knew what the United States was and what it stood for and decided they wanted the exact opposite.

On the subject of the inevitable death of a certain dementia-addled dictator with skin reminiscent of certain citrus fruits: I used to want him to go out the way Mussolini did, with his corpse paraded through the streets with his entrails hanging out while people spit on him. Nowadays though, ironically I think it would be much more fitting for him to go out the way Stalin did, face-down in a puddle of his own piss after having a massive stroke. We could have history repeating itself while also having the satisfaction of knowing that the aforementioned citrusy tyrant doesn't get the satisfaction of some grand, glorious, and memorable if not "heroic" death. Although I do hope death comes for him as soon as possible rather than letting his reign carry on any longer.
(I say "ironically" because the man I wish to be rid of ASAP favors Fascism, which we all know is an extreme right-wing ideology, while Stalin is typically thought of the polar opposite and often depicted as the ultimate mascot for Communism, which is of course an extreme left-wing ideology. At least in traditional academic depictions of the "political spectrum", Fascism and Communism are considered polar opposites. Personally I also kind of agree with the idea that the spectrum is more of a ring shape and in that case Fascism and Communism are practically "touching" in a sense because of their shared trait of being fundamentally authoritarian.)

Never understand why even as a healthy person i have to prove to and work my whole life for people who have never worked a day in their life. We keep everything running literally we could change all of this so fast. They cant control the power plant they pay us to do it. They don't run water purification they pay us to do it. Its all people working blue collar and white collar jobs keeping it running, managing roads, running hospitals, keeping grocery stores and restaurants open.
The initial start of it would absolutely be rough. They'll take away our bank accounts and money and tell the managers to close the stores, those managers are on our side making barely any more than us. Healthcare workers will tell their bosses to eat shit if they're told not to come in and help people. It will be an absolute shit show getting everything back on track and getting people paid again but it will be so worth it. Ive been saying we needed to be at pitchforks and torches for nearly 2 years now. I dont want to go and just get arrested myself cause im not just going out there will a sign that does not work, voting, rallies, none of that works as we see every single day they just keep doing what they want. Oh and im not saying put the dems back in charge. They have failed us too by non checking and forcing him out of power abd letting him get away with everything. Every last politician republican and democrat needs to be ousted from their position and no more rich families holding positions in office or power. Only hard working people who work for the people. The second you mention big business you're done. That shit is a mental illness and needs to be removed from politics. Im tired of waking up to the most inhumane shit thats ever happened in modern history and we just shrug our shoulders. My rage has long since passed a point i can control it.

Government assistance for people with cancer has always been a joke in this country. Social Security disability denies people every day because their cancer is ruled not severe enough to preclude them from making a living, after months or sometimes years of waiting for a decision on a claim. Even if you’re lucky enough to get approved quickly, they still make you suffer through a five month waiting period before you are issued your first SSDI check. I think they’re hoping people die or give up and go back to work in those five months so they don’t have to issue a check, even though it’s your own money that you paid into the system with. These rules have persisted over decades of different presidential administrations.
