First they came for the illegal immigrants and I did not speak out because I was a legal citizen.
Then they came for the LGBTQ members and I did not speak out because I am straight.
Then they came for the non-whites and I did not speak out because I am white.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
You should amend this because it's not just "illegal" immigrants they are after. The rhetoric around the Haitians in Ohio is clearly directed at any and all immigrants legal or not.
Emphasis on was since they’ll probably just strip it and make people stateless or deport them to another country where they held citizenship. I’m fully aware they’ll go after DACA and temporarily protected people, and I’m sure naturalized citizens who are a shade too brown will have plenty of negative interactions with red state national guardsmen who have no idea what makes someone legal or not.
Didn't they come for the Palestinians first?
You need to ignore that. It would mean Democrats are Nazis too. That doesnt fit their narrative.
For being a leftist or simply the wrong 'kind' of white.
ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Then they came for the feds, who overstep boundaries and stomp on citizens rights, and I did not speak out because I am a legal citizen.
Then they came for the DEI programs that worsen race relations and cause the working class to fight each other, and I did not speak out because race is not an important factor to who we are an individuals.
Then they came for my processed food and the overzealous pharma companies, and there was no one to stop them, because the people wanted health along with greatness.
Fixed it for ya. :)
Enjoy your mandated magic crystals and bleach injections from the next pandemic when fucking RFK is your FDA commissioner.
You can have this country boss. Germany and the EU (y’know, those dirty, scary SOCIALISTS!!!) actually ban food additives while we are stuck eating sawdust and duck feathers and sugar bread and whatever the fuck else.
Not sure why I’m engaging. You’re clearly not interested in engaging in good faith. Just in case someone sees your comment and thinks there’s an inkling of truth to it, look up the list of EU approved food additives and compare it to ours.
But yes, in case you didn’t know, when they run out of enemies, they’ll come for you too. I hope you agree with every single part of the party’s platform :)
Enjoy fascism!
I simply called her an idiot and left it at that.
*her
Duly noted, lady brainless.
Thank you. :)
Lol, you sound like a far left version of a flat-earther.
RFK is 100% against those food additives and processing, so we'll soon be alongside the EU in that regard. Not sure why you think that was a Kamala policy, it certainly was not, lol.
Your argument makes no sense, because the Dems have been in office 12 of the last 16 years and our food has only gotten less healthy over that time. You think that would have changed under Kamala? This issue is literally what the MAGAxMAHA unity is all about. You're literally arguing against a change to our current food, lol.
Michelle Obama tried to make kids lunches healthier and it was literally socialism according to you chodes, yet the right wing judges remove the Chevron deference that allowed regulatory bodies to stop corporations from poisoning us without being constantly sued and that’s perfectly okay.
I’m not sure if you’re young or just stupid, but the right wing toolkit for modifying behavior consists of exclusively deregulation and tax cuts. Which one of those things will RFK use to get companies to make us healthier? Please walk me through it.
She is probably both young and stupid. I honestly don't understand how people are so poorly informed that they legit believe that it is entirely the fault of democrats when it was Republicans who openly announce and bust their balls off to destroy regulation that protects people and then blame everything on the democrats. How? Just fucking how?
Maga wasn't a thing when the Obama's were in office MAGA/MAHA aren't made up of RINOS, which is what "you chodes" must reference too. :)
I'm neither young or stupid, and you can easily look up RFKs policies any time you want. :)
Trump has been going on about the birther bullshit since Obama first took office, which is when he first started building a cult of personality with the uneducated dipshits of this country. The Tea Party was just the first rumblings of the populist movement that would go on to be MAGA.
Tell me who you supported for office back then? And how did you feel about her effort to improve school lunches and health? Did you agree? Or is it only okay when it’s your “feds” oppressing us?
Edit: Checked out RFK’s proposals and it’s literally deregulation and pseudoscience. Let me know how it goes when it fails. Of course that’ll be the democrats and immigrants fault somehow.
Same fucking right wing bullshit rebranded with a populist message. The right wing has no real ideas, no desire to improve anything.
Don’t reply again. You’re not worth my time anymore.
I supported Obama back then, and I was super excited about the lunch programs she tried to roll out.
What about his policies are pseudoscience? None of his policies scream right wing to me, though I do think with the realignment happening, they have now become right wing issues.
I'll reply to who I want to, thanks.
Literal brain worms have taken your critical faculties then I see.
If you truly think Republicans will regulate anything in this country you’ve got a critical misunderstanding of that party’s modus operandi.
Dismantling the FDA for one would leave all food and drugs completely unregulated. Dismantling ACA will mean people don’t have health insurance or affordable healthcare again. Adding tariffs to imports will make nutritious and natural food more expensive. You’re telling me they’re going to remove toxins from the environment while also dismantling the clean air act and going full drill baby drill. lol. Lmao even.
Can’t tell if you’ve never read the republican party platform or you’ve got a parasite like your boy RFK that’s got you sieg heiling dear leader as he destroys the social, moral, economic, political, environmental, and regulatory fabric of the country.
The things you say will happen won’t happen. Full stop.
Not sure why you continue to argue in bad faith.
Why do you assume these things will be dismantled instead of severely cut back on? Or replaced with something else that does work? It's going to be a step-by-step process for a transfer from what we have now to what we will have, but we're not abolishing like we tried to do with police, there will be something built and ready to regulate at a much more efficient standard.
I've read agenda 47, if that's what you mean. And yes, we can drill and still have clean air and water. I'm specifically hoping that wind energy is dismantled and nuclear and solar step up to take it's place.
It won't happen if we don't try.
I used to wonder how people were so dumb that shitheads like Trump and his cronies would keep getting elected and how they somehow manage to blame their opposition for all the bad and take credit for all the good shit that happens.
This. This statement you made. Is why.
What about my statement makes you come to that conclusion?
Right.
Sorry but are you serious? This is hilarious. How is Trump gonna help with processed food and pharma bullshit? What is he going to do except make things worse for most people and better for rich fucks and himself?
It's the policies he took on when he and RFK united their platforms. Trump won't be doing much of it, but RFK will be.
Holy shit, I forgot about RFK with everything else that's been going on. So the brain worm guy who eats roadkill and fucks whales or bears or something is gonna be in charge of the nation's health policies? We are so fucked.
Wait.. did you think Trump cares about you? You understand that given the choice between saving himself or the country, he always chooses himself right?
He cares about America as a whole, he wants all of us healthy and happy.
You know Obama just took off out of the country today? That might tip us off on who is choosing themselves, just saying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, you know, that guy who is no longer in a position of power and can't be elected to office again? What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Hmmm, why would he take off the very moment all his legacy-backed puppets are crushed?? So weird.
Obama sucks, Biden sucks, all establishment politicians including Trump don't give a fuck about you. He calls his supporters idiots, he has said he doesn't believe what he says to people but just says the things that his base wants to hear, like a TV entertainer, because that is his primary skill. He believes in nothing, and Kamala isn't really better.
It's possible to support people and actions that actually do help us all, there are many ways to help the country besides supporting sham politicians, who will do nothing to help us, will line the pockets of the wealthy and send more young people into endless wars.
Why do you think billionaires and CEOs love Trump? Because they know he will increase their profits, and he already has. This money comes from the lower class. The rich support the Dems too because they aren't much better if at all when it comes to corporate greed and theft of the people.
Idiot.
The demographic that wants less regulation is welcoming more regulation? What a fascinating example of cognitive dissonance in less than a paragraph.
Both can happen. Far less regulation, and what's left we change to far better regulation.
