Few folks are discussing the implications of the Budget and ways to counter it
The implications of the budget are the creation of a totalitarian hellhole; a boot stamping on a human face forever. It's not just "people [losing] healthcare and food benefits" like the article mentions; it's also the transformation of ICE into Trump's own lavishly-funded personal Gestapo, able to disappear people and otherwise terrorize the public into submission at-will.
The way to counter it is to take down Trump, via the Epstein scandal (because the fact that Trump is a child molester is the only thing that seems to get through to his cultist base).
Anything else -- such as pretending there's some other viable strategy to stop the implications of the budget after it's already been passed -- is a distraction from that.
I'm only worried about what comes after. Doesn't JD Vance get the crown? Isn't he slyly trying to make that happen? He seems dangerous.
He IS dangerous. Peter Theil's puppet. He is a total Fascist freak that'd clearly have gotten a long great with the Nazi elite... Whether he's More dangerous than Trump is debatable, but I personally think they'd be the same. I do think taking down Trump would weaken his legitimacy in the public eye
