When Democrats come back into power they will do nothing to repeal it, and will increase funding

You don't need a crystal ball, you just have to know their history.

Democrats aren't coming back into power unless we, the people, do something more than vote.

If we do something more than vote and just end up with fucking genocidal right wing Nazi-lite Democrats again I will blame you personally.

I don't want them back in power, they are useless to the working class. 2 right wing parties is more than enough

So who else ain't payin' taxes? Just me?

triptrapper@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 54d

I'm with you! I'm self-employed so I'm not paying my quarterly estimated taxes. I'm still saving the money and splitting it between high-yield savings and index funds.

Two. 1 maga flipp9ng would make it a tiw, and Jefferson Davis Vande would cast the tie-breaking vote.

The VP breaks ties in the Senate. The Speaker breaks ties in House. So it would be Michael "Nazi Poindexter" Johnson in this case.

It's actually kinda sad knowing what is going on in America right now, and still nobody has assassinated any of the Grand Old Pedophiles en mass.

There's no way anybody will convince me JFK WASN'T killed by a foreign government. If there is a literal kleptomaniacal government in power who have an obsession with killing and eating children and not a single American is getting up and shooting up cop stations, concentration camps, government buildings, or GOP headquarters, then what would possess a slightly disgruntled, random civilian from half a century ago to just randomly shoot a president.

If this regime won't wake the American people up, absolutely nothing will, and they're a failed state and a collapsing empire.
