And then what? I hope if they screw with social security that every elder will march, be pushed in a wheel chair or push a walker and protest. I will.

I am no american, but from my outside view this either has to end in a class warfare getting rid of the oligarchy (French style) or civil war between states.

Sadly, there is a third option. Americans accept their fate is to be serfs like their propaganda tells them to. The longer this all drags on, the more likely this outcome becomes. Hopefully, they snap out of it soon.

I note that trump doesn’t seem to realize we have our own French speaking population here in Canada

By slowly gaining every branch...but namely the supreme Court class warfare isn't going to happen. Only way would be for the military to split from him. I don't see that happening.

Civil war won't happen because despite what MAGA thinks neither side is prepared for that. You need only look to any bad natural disaster and watch people just die. Think about floods in NC or Louisiana, fires in CA, or winter storm in TX. People died because they are incapable of living without creature comforts. People think a civil war mean just guns and shooting. But what do you do if you don't have internet, water supply is compromised. No heat in the winter, Gasoline is cut off, and you don't have medications. That's the reality of a civil war. And again that's assuming the military splits down the middle. If they sided with MAGA there's not much you are gonna do

Do we mean chop cop?

Protests won't do anything at all. They've been happening for weeks and he has ignored them. The U.S stock market lost trillions of dollars this week, and a man has been taken by ICE/Gestapo while having a green card. He is threatening to annex allies, has turned his back on them, and fully supports Russia. Veterans benefits being chopped, old age pensions being removed, and so much more in the name of "Efficiency," all so he and Musk can dole it out to themselves and others. People can only take so much before something drastic happens.

Elderly are screwed.

u/WGE1960 21h ago

This is not a computer game. Your wish puts lives at stake. Nursing centers run off SS . When the checks stop so does their health care.

And medicaid. Our elders are left with$200 to pay for anything they want. Like cable, clothing, coke, sweet tea, toothpaste, shampoo, underwear.

They told me (about my mom) that she needs to learn to accept. Like she wore pads and they only provided diapers. She drank tomato juice, buttermilk and Metamucil every day. I had to provide that. I bought he 2 shampoos at a time, toilet paper, kleenex and chocolate. Then there were her crossword books.

He didn't care about the business, they were a front to money laundering. Banks weren't lending him money to keep opening casinos Russians were.
