She wasn’t a teacher, or working for a school. She was working for some factory in Tenn. and quit, which she was already preparing to do, when she did that interview. These rumors are just fiction.

The economic system is as big apart of my life as the chronic medical issues I was born with. Don’t know how your life functions without regards to the economy. It has been easier to get medical intervention on my medical issues, than to get society to make the economy fair. Human behavior is part of life, these abstract systems we create are a direct result of that.

It killed the US middle class, or better, was one of the bigger factors in doing so. The American middle class was strongest post war until the late 70s. That was when our economic policies shifted to off-shoring as much labor as possible, and when the Chinese special economic zone polices were started, in cooperation with the US. The loss of manufacturing jobs in the following decades gutted the US middle class.

Listen, had you not eaten the crayons, and had the Army infantry not inhaled everything with chemical fumes, we could have nice things, like painted rocks. Until then, maybe we can compromise with a monitored use system.

There are people in poverty who support trump, for example, I have a neighbor who does, and even when I point out to him, the GOP, are trying to prevent him from getting their insulin, he just said “that isn’t true”. So I showed him it in writing, from a GOP source, and he said “well, they will come up with some other way, for people like me, to get their insulin”. I bet this happens, because democrats block everything until there is some way for this to happen, and then he thanks Trump. Because things like this happened under Trump, repeatedly.

However, most of the people I know with disabilities, chronic medical issues, are minority groups, have a lot of people who were pushing for Harris, because the GOP was literally running on a platform aim directly at ruining their lives. These people range in beliefs, they aren’t all left wing, but they aren’t stupid enough to vote their lives away. While most of the people I know, who support trump, are middle classed, trades/white collar people with decent salaries, and wealthier people. In my poor city, in my neighborhood which has a large project housing development, is deep blue. When you get out into the suburbs, with their McMansions, is where you start seeing the Trump signs. Most of the poorer people I see who, support Trump, are in rural areas, and being in the rural areas has a lot to do with why they stay poor. Recently though, a lot of the blue collar guys, in this region, got hit with a loss in compensation due to their manufacturing companies preparing for the onset of the Trump tariffs. They are mad, but I don’t know if they are mad at Trump/GOP, or they are going to blame democrats/immigrants/etc., like they did when a car manufacturing plant here closed, after Trump promised a subsidy to keep it open, then didn’t do that.

I live in the SW PA, SE OH, N WV, Appalachian region, many people are poor here. Like some of the poorest people in the US. Parts of WV are literally seeing third world conditions.

the system works - for them! You spend your hard earned money and help support their death

All of these social programs suddenly become much more popular when they are restricted to the majority population. There have been surveys demonstrating this. Another way to see it is to point to places with a lot of those policies, one of the first rebuttals you will receive is a yarn about the homogeneous population, or at least one far more so, in those places.

So, it isn’t that they think they won’t be covered, it is because so many think it will cover people they don’t want it to.

pseudopsychology might be the term

Does someone need a court martial?

There was a man here who had his citizenship revoke through denaturalization. He owned several businesses, had like 6 kids. But since he divorced his first wife, with whom he had kids, after 10 years of being married, then married another person, for almost 20 years, with whom he had more kids, they decided he got his green card from a fraudulent marriage, done just for the green card.

The whole city was pissed. But it’s been 7 years, and he is still gone.

Post the list online, and take advantage of crowd sourcing?

well-off middle class that hangs around

you made this accusation of the people voting against trump who are on lemmy, I just turned the same accusation back on you, and now you think it is crazy. Funny how that works. I even said I was turning your words back on you in the comment. Hillarious.

Something about infrastructure

I like how you put the comfortable middle class as those pushing for Harris vs not voting. Not a single person, I know, pushing that initiative is doing it because they are well-off middle class. They are all people in minority demographics, and people who are deeply struggling, that are seeing Trump threaten things they rely on to live. They just don’t happen to be reactionaries.

So lets turn this around, just because you are privileged enough to be able accept Trump, rather than vote for someone who sucks, but isn’t vowing to actively make everything you need to live, get scrapped, while already being in thread bare living situation, doesn’t mean the people who do, are just well-off middle class people.

Man, the marines already ate the crayons, you know the infantry will just huff away all the scented markers. Then we will need to propose a new budget for things like pencils, and that means running the bidding process to design the pencils, produce the raw materials, make the pencils, ship them…

New, rule, markers are for non-infantry only.

You need Credible Defense, This is Non-Credible Defense, where we specialize in stupid shit-posting.

Already happening. In this region a LOT of manufacturing workers voted for him. Now most of them are looking at significant reductions in compensation because their companies are all rebudgeting to prepare for the tariff proposals the GOP has written. Now they are all mad, though I wonder how many understand that they need to be blaming who they voted for, rather than immigrants, communists, and queer people.

If he dies before they are able to really get the structural changes in P2025 off the ground, Trump’s death will likely instigate the death of the movement. If it dies after that the P2025 restructuring has happened, won’t matter.

Oh, I agree. I think the amount of energy lost, when Trump dies, will be a huge blow to the MAGA movement. Will it be a coup de grace? I fucking hope so. However, if they get their project 2025 governmental structure into place, I think it will be hard to dethrone the GOP, even without Trump. I also believe that is the true hope behind that platform. They know their cult of personality is on a timer, so they are hoping to get things set-up, where they still have complete control, regardless of how motivated the cult is.

Why would they do that? They don’t give a fuck about Jones, he has already been replaced.
