Social Security came into being in 1935, and thus every American alive today paid into the fund from the moment they entered the workplace until the moment they left. Yet, as we’re seeing, the GOP believes that a tenable platform is simply this: let’s rip these people off. Again, this isn’t some marginalized fringe group; it’s the entirety of the U.S. electorate. If you’re a political strategist, does this seem like a good idea?
A progressive since a small boy, I’ve never liked Republicans. I still remember distinctly my take as a nine-year-old on Barry Goldwater in ’64, and George Wallace, who got my grandfather’s vote four years later. I was not impressed, putting it kindly.
Yet at that point, I understood that some folks, many of them older, might be drawn to more conservative values. But what’s appealing about whacking the retirement plan that literally every American worker paid into?
Did Jennifer Lawrence really say this? I hope not, because it’s complete stupidity.
People who didn’t criticize Hitler, Mussolini, or the dozens of other fascist dictators as they were rising to power merely ushered them into a position in which they could destroy the lives of millions of innocent lives.
The author of the meme at left writes, “We’re the only ones.”
This is completely incorrect, not that you care about facts and truth. Over 30 countries, primarily in the Americas, offer unconditional birthright citizenship, granting citizenship to almost anyone born within their territory, regardless of their parents’ status.
For those who struggle with elementary school arithmetic, Trump won the election (50%+ approval) out of more than 150 million votes cast, and now his approval rating is in the low 30s.
That’s ~30 million voters who regret their choices, out of the common American.
Add in the Tucker Carlsons of the world.
