"MAGA’s closing pitch to voters: economic pain and health care sorcery

[shuttersparks@qoto.org]

@wdlindsy Nobody mentions resistance from millions of businesses that can't afford to lose their key employees.

Is Trump going to clean the rooms at Mar a Lago himself? Also, Trump and Vance will have to look for new wives.

@wdlindsy

Hey, at least that vastly underestimated pain on the rest of us will help Trump get out of debt, and Elon Musk will be twice as rich as Jeff Bezos!

It's not without an upside!

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Twitter_expat Thank you for your first-hand, from-the-spot testimony. It's valuable. You're right: what you experienced in Venzuela follows a clear trajectory sketched by Snyder, and it will happen in the US if fascism wins the day.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@EricLawton Lots of logistical questions here, aren't there? Mind-boggling ones about a threatened operation that is beyond inhumane....

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@Flowermob Why, indeed.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@jaythurbershow That's a big factor, especially for the well-educated and well-heeled folks who keep voting for Trump, like the crowd that gathers around Wall Street Journal. They love to pretend that the fears of what Trump will do -- and he's told us exactly what he'll do -- are overblown.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@gumpfloyd Thank you. A great graphic.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@the5thColumnist Sadly, yes. Any cruelty seems possible.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@megatronicthronbanks And yet an act of colossal cruelty like this would involve all of us in manifold ways.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@FallsMom What a treat! He's so sane, sober, balanced, thoughtful, and at the same time, full of great moral passion.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@vruz Well-stated and very well-noted.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@wondrng1 Of course markets won't correct. You're right about that, for sure. The system will be smashed so that it can then be swallowed whole by the oligarchs who want to benefit at everyone else's expense.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@SoftwareTheron I suspect there's a Plan B.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@vruz Not without an upside, for sure.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@shuttersparks And that makes it all the more incomprehsible that the richest business owners in America are refusing to come out in support of Harris, most of them. I can only think that either they believe Trump won't do what he's promised to do or they themselves will somehow be insulated from the fallout.

@wdlindsy

The cruelty is the point. Always.

[lperry2@mastodon.social]

@wdlindsy Yes. A friend asked me where I was getting "this stuff"--I gave her a link to Project 2025.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@LPerry2 Good for you, helping educate her about what Project 2025 intends for all of us.

[wdlindsy@toad.social]

@darwinwoodka It absolutely is.
