When we were young, he was hardcore republican because "small government." And he's convinced that the biggest drain on the budget is poor people. I've argued that wealthy people and farmers are the biggest welfare queens. And our military is the biggest drain, but he won't see.

I now understand what a moron I've been to believe that he ever meant it when he agreed that healhcare should be provided, college should be free, and childcare should be free. I see that he'd be the first person demanding those get shot down. I mean, anyone buying the TSLA dip is telling you they don't care about the human quality of life, nor about naziism. They only care about making money.

I've come to the realization that he's still republican, but Trump is obviously brain damaged, so ex can't support him. But maybe the rest of the repugnants aren't that bad.

Pretty much 100% bullshit as you've probably already guessed. I will no longer talk to him about anything requiring brain function because he's proof that wealth <> intelligence.

No, he's got enough, and he's diversified very well. We're both 54, and I was really, really hoping that I could retire at 67. However, I don't know if I can come back fast enough after this nosedive. But the ex-husband will be fine and he'll retire next January.

That's the U.S. in a nutshell. The very wealthy will be fine, but people like me who are constantly trying to just hold onto what I've already earned will be worse off by a mile.

I'm not talking about immigrants. Trump has choked off most support to low income people, so when these tariffs really hit home, millions of Americans will learn what it means to literally starve. Many of which will be stunned that the leopard i a eating their face.

You can't convince ANY Trumper or Independent. I spoke with my ex-husband again about all this last week. He's very wealthy, hates Trump, but hates all democrats too. So he threw his vote away to the 3rd party will be buying more TSLA during the dip. And here is why I'll never talk about politics with him again; he thinks it's a GREAT IDEA that Muskrat is taking a sledgehammer to the government. Doesn't matter that Musk is an unelected foreigner doing major damage to our country. "It's what's needed." Ex-husband said.

I always believed he was smarter than that, but nope. He's got enough money to ride this out and retire at 55.

Expecto Patronum always works for me.

When people start literally starving is when they literally have nothing to lose. At least in jail, they get food. This will end very bloody.

Or OR you don't shit on what's going right, regardless of numbers.

GenX here. I'm 14 years from retirement, and I've never hated boomers more. They have fucked us at every turn and now they get to die right before the world implodes and once again we get left holding the bag.

That and parents don't like to spill all their truly legendary escapades to their children. I mean, the apple doesn't fall far from rhe tree and all that.

Omg that was hilarious! Thank you.

They're all wearing leggings of assorted fabrics and styles.

Jfc, I'm sorry my country is so full of morons that love to hate because it makes them feel better about themselves.

I bet. I truly hope you make it out. And I know it might be painful, but plz don't exercise any rights formally enjoyed by US citizens and legal residents beforeyou leave. ICE is the most reprehensible group of losers this country has ever put together. Each member is too stupid to be a real cop, and we all know how stupid US cops are, so that's saying something. I'd also bet that they tried to be prison guards (because of endless victims), but they were too incompetent for that. So we're left with a group of deplorables where the more racist, misogynistic, and bigoted you are, the better!

I've been going out on Saturdays to protest Tesla and will be joining other groups soon. Plz let me and othwrs like me represent you in the huge "fuck you US" that I know you want to personally deliver.

All the best to you and yours.

That wasn't the point, but thanks for playing.

Here's hoping Europe holds strong and lets the U.S. fuck off and die in its confusion.

No kidding. Let's make it when most people are going to bed, fighting their kids to go to bed, or just passed out from watching the evening news. Guaranteed that if someone held lights up in my neighborhood that I wouldn't see a thing.

Trump will give them a break even though this is 100% their fault, so trust that the nation's biggest welfare queens won't suffer with the rest of us.

Also called internalized misogyny.
