In short Republicans are going to screw over 23 million poor Americans because they don’t want Democrats getting political credit for helping them during an election season. And because our press is generally broken and afraid of calling a duck a duck, this is going to get dressed up as a genuine concern about wasteful spending by a party that’s long been a huge fan of no shortage of wasteful spending.
It’s not really the Dems doing it, but they’re also not doing anything to stop it… which is what they always do.
Hell, it’s what they’ll do if Trump wins and becomes a Dictator. They won’t stand in his way, and they’ll be like “bUt tHiS iS wHaT pEoPlE vOtEd fOr” as if a bunch of uneducated morons deciding to vote away democracy isn’t a fucking slap in the face to every future generation who can’t vote Dictatorship away.
I have no doubt in my mind if Trump becomes President, you’ll see the national Democrats jump on private jets and skip the country to leave us under his fucking orange shitstain thumb while going “Boo Hoo, so sad” on CNN Europe.
For people asking why I think this: Hey, remember Ray Nagin, the Democratic Mayor of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina? Remember how he bailed in a helicopter on the fucking city, leaving people to die, to go on national news and cry about the tragedy? Remember how he could have made plans to allow buses to be used to get people out of the city? Remember how he didn’t? Pepperidge Farm Remembers.
