Billionaires and Idiots
I was asked today if there was anything positive I could say about Trump. (‘scuse me while I blow the dead MOE-skee-TOE off my laptop screen.)
Um, nope. I think the same thing about him as I did when he ran for president the first time and when he was a “reality TV star” [snort]. Anything Trump does, he does for HIMSELF. He does not care about anyone else, including (I think) many members of his own family. When he says he’s gonna do things like end wars “on the first day” or whatever, he’s lying. He did not do that and could not have done that. We’ll see how long the Gaza ceasefire lasts. And whatever it was he said, late in his campaign, about how wonderful he was gonna be for women? That so pissed me off. He is not wonderful for women, from the reversal of Roe v. Wade to all of the chainsaw cuts he has made to lifelines for poor single mothers to obtain food and health care for their families. This doesn’t apply only to women BTW. It applies to all people who are struggling to raise families without decent jobs or other forms of support and often mental health issues, etc. And don’t forget, many people do not have any bootstraps to pull themselves up with.
I kinda hate memes but one of the memes that resonated with me today is the one that says something like “There are two types of Trump supporters: billionaires and idiots. Check your bank balance to figure out which one you are.” My bank balance is fine but I ain’t no billionaire by a long shot. Why are all of us little people, i.e., not billionaires, voting for him. Well. Not me. I cannot stand him, I don’t think he gives a flyin’ f*ck about me and the middle class that I belong to, and I didn’t vote for him in any of the last three elections. Flim flam man. That is all. Well, except insurrectionist. And yes he WAS an insurrectionist.
Sorry about the rant. Some days are easier than others.

I agree 100%. (but you already know that) I’m in a like-minded bubble whereas you aren’t. Sometimes a rant is needed for our own mental health!

You are so spot on. How can so many people NOT SEE what scourge he is? Liar, rapist, felon, narcissist, vulgarian, authoritarian, and yes, insurrectionist. (And so many others…) And acquaintance is preparing her sign for Saturday’s No Kings protest: “MY OUTRAGE CAN’T FIT ON THIS SIGN.”
