President Biden’s video featuring clips from a Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) speech to tout his legislative accomplishments reached more than 30 million views in 12 hours after it was posted …
Was talking with a guy the other day about healthcare, I didn’t start the conversation, he kept saying who’s going to pay for it. I couldn’t get him to understand it’s two fold, you already do, and you won’t be paying as much as you are now with Medicare and insurance.
Sometimes there is hope. My dad was a lifelong conservative. I remember being brought by my parents to anti abortion rallies as a small child. When he got out of the military and joined a civilian job he realized it was dramatically under paid. He then became essentially the founding member for the largest EMS helicopter pilots union… Yes, EMS helicopter pilots used to be paid crappy wages. It took his fight for their benefits and creating a new union to realize that the conservative Republicans were screwing over the working class by manipulating them with social issues like abortion (he has since changed his stance on this as well). My mom on the other hand is still very stuck in her conservative ways while living off of social security, military pension and benefits from my dad’s retirement, and other social programs that help senior citizens; all while still complaining that she doesn’t have enough money and the costs of things being too high.
Yesterday there was that link on the black mayor that the town wouldn’t recognize. One of the passages was about him get free food for the poor in his town and the white rich folks trying to sabotage it, as if feeding hungry people was a bad thing.
Some Republicans genuinely think FDR was a bad president and the social programs he created were bad. They’re also the ones that like Reagan.
While they themselves benefit from social security, Medicare, and union benefits.
I don’t understand these people.
My dad: Unions are what’s wrong with this country. I do everything I can to undermine them in the workplace.
Also my dad: They’re abusing the workers! I can’t even get a day off when I’m deathly ill without getting fired. Why won’t anybody stand up for us?!
Don’t even get me started on healthcare. He’s a diabetic. You’d think it’d be a priority for him.

Oh fuck yea. Mines on disability and Medicaid but anything about free healthcare is “communism”. I feel ya.

Or my uncles who’ve all retired with union pensions…

Serfs need to be on the edge of starvation in order to work for low wages.
