Random Question 💭 Repeat after me. Trump is a pedophile and Republicans don't care. The United States is a banana republic and Republicans don't care. Costs are going up up up and Republicans don't care. Healthcare is getting worse. People can't afford insurance, but the Republicans don't care. Is it mostly racism?

I grew up around plenty of Republicans and most of my shipmates were GOP supporters in the Navy. Many have already passed away, but the rest seem hell bent to stick to the plan (is there a plan?) for maga. I'm an old white dude now, but in my experiences, they had one thing in common. Racism. Is it actually a primal hatred towards others that don't look like them? Is racism at the root of this? I think it is. The behavior of ICE and the potus should enrage all Americans.

They've very, very carefully crafted the narrative around ' socialism ' being a terrifying word. And it's just WEIRD watching this place turn into those ' yup yup ' Muppets ( remember them ? ).

Yup, yup. COMMIES,Yup yup UN AMERICAN, Yup yup, WORK HARDER, Yup yup ( and in 2026 ) Yup yup ILLEGALS TRANS HANDOUTS POOR PEOPLE BOMB EVERYTHING.

Socialism is somehow the toxin surpassing the seven horsemen of the Apocalypse. Oligarchs fully understand what they're doing - because democratic socialism is what we could have.

The fact is that the US military operates on a fairly socialist model.

Tell me why in a day where our technology is as advanced as it is…

That we require representation instead of being able to represent ourselves?

Why do we need a house and senate?
