    The Boomer+ Army is on standby to use their Karen powers for good. Just wait until that first check is missed. All hell will break loose.

      They’re already preparing the deflection of blame to “rogue radical elements” on conservative media. Or that the Demonrats and Biden already stole all the money years ago and DOGE uncovered it.

    Well, if his prediction pans out, that’s a way to sour voter sentiment real quick.

    It might be the biggest wedge between Trump/Musk yet, as Trump will distance himself from it, and DOGE is too heavily associated with Musk for a scapegoat.

      It depends how good the right-wing media are at lying about why people are finding themselves poorer. Usually they just need to mumble some stuff about immigrants and LGBTQ+ people and their audience is successfully misdirected.

    That was the whole point. This way they can creat a sovereign wealth fund that the rich can further benefit from while screw over the rest of the country.

    Reminder of a poll recently, conservatives may still be brainwashed even after shit moves like this, but a ton of independents and moderate voters are souring over shit like this. They’re your real leopard face feeders.

    They’ve practically already lost 2/3 of those people, although by definition they’re the flipflopiest group so it’s not great. I still wish the rightwing cultists will come to or at least actually inject bleach into their veins.

      And? The crowd you’re talking about is the ones that sat there and asked “Is Trump really so bad?” at the polls, so they’re not gonna fight? And likelyhood of us having a fair election is low. Trump and Musk don’t care these people are lost.

      You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.

      Don’t be fooled by the “half of America” talk. MAGA and Conservatives are probably ⅓ of the country at best. The rest are leftists, moderates, and people that can’t be bothered to choose a side. We do have the numbers, we just lack the motivation and conviction.
