Nationalize the assets of every billionaire who bought a cabinet position to destroy the government agencies that were relating their businesses. 100% tax on wealth over $100 million. Reform the judiciary. Every citizen has the absolute right to vote with equal access to the ballot box. Eliminate the electoral college. Electoral boundaries drawn by an independent, non-partisan agency. All electoral boundaries must be a maximum five sides polygon except where they follow a state border. Ban private schools and fully fund science and fact based public education. Eliminate health insurance companies and nationalize healthcare. No company may pay bonuses or dividends unless every employee earns a loving wage with full benefits. Make companies pay the same benefits to part time employees that they do full time employees. Executive wages must be tied to the average wage of employees and the lowest wage paid to an employee (including contagious and employees of suppliers.) Dissolve media conglomerates and ban misinformation presented as news.
You guys complain for months that democrats don’t fight back. But First Democrat that fights back against Trump, you guys tear them down and bury them. Nobody is worthy to be an ally, that’s why MAGA wrecked you. That’s why half you guys will stay home next election no matter who runs on the Democrat ticket. Last time you said you didn’t want the senile old man but the moment they switched to the educated black woman you guys were like “no not that!”
MAGA unifies and the left splinters and lights among itself
- This is a non-sequitur, the guy in the post is a republican supposedly
- A guy posting troll tweets while clearing homeless encampments is not “fighting trump”
- Active participants in genocide are not allowed to be allies, maga are happy to support genocide.
- If theres a fake primary or they annoint someone years before and expect voters to fall in line, youre right, nobody will vote for them
- Again, if you bait and switch the people, you dont hold a primary, and you wait until there’s no chance of having one to finally say “youre right, hes too old, here’s someone nobody asked for” who then proceeds to drop every popular position she ever publicly had, YOU DESERVE TO FUCKING LOSE.
- Democrats, the dnc, the party proper, are the ones refusing to support “democrats” who win elections, not voters. Zohran and the Minnesota guy are both barely left and the national party is basically funding their opposition.
If you’re getting paid by that Brian Tyler Cohen darkmoney group I wouldn’t be surprised, they only hire the most shit tier libs.
Why dont you confront your party leadership and hold them accountable for forcing trump back into office? You’d rather yell at principled voters, who made extremely clear what they absolutely would not accept for years in advance, than the party that chose to try winning the election purely on republicans voting for them.
All I’m saying, you better be getting paid for this. Having these opinions for free would be very embarrassing. Congrats on the check tho, $250/mo can really make a difference.
Oh shit, I didn’t know I could get $250/mo to post on lemmy. Where do I sign up?
Cancel Trump and Vance’s secret service
They’re not going to do shit
Nationalising Starlink and Spacex are a great idea, why not Tesla as well? It’s already HEAVILY propped up by government spending. Do it at gunpoint so we don’t have to pay Elon anything at all
Isn’t the correct process to make a flippant post offering to buy the whole thing on twitter ?
They won’t though 🥲
correct analysis. Absolutely go down to their level. Weirdly enough, you will even take some of their voters away with that. Some of them don’t care that much about the words, just the way they are spoken.
I always hated that democrats fight with one arm tied behind their back because of decorum, while the republicans use knives and bazookas. The next non Republican president needs to fuck these guys the way they fuck Americans
In reality the Dems will do none of those things though. They won’t nationalize anything because they are neoliberals. They won’t fully defund ICE because they want racists to vote for them too. They’ll just reduce the budget and maybe stop putting kids in cages. They won’t shut down funding for the exec branch because they’ll say it is “irresponsible”.
More things they’ll never do:
- Demilitarise and defund the police
- Provide free public healthcare and education for all
- Raise taxes on billionaires
- Stop mass surveillance programs
- Reform the electoral system to allow proportional representation
- Properly regulate and tax corporations
- Stop providing weapons to their genocidal allies
I’d love to be proved wrong, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up.
Shutting down funding for the executive program means cutting pretty much every program the government has, if you’re not going to reformat it. Which is not implied.
Founding Fathers, 1776: Democracy is worth fighting and dying for! We must water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants. We must risk our fortunes and our lives so that our children can live in freedom.
Democrats, 2025: Trump is a dictator destroying democracy, but we can’t risk temporarily shutting down government transfer payments in order to stop him.
The person who posted the tweet in this post who suggested cutting funding was a Republican and now is a independent
They should still do it and bring the country to a standstill if necessary. If extreme measures aren’t applicable now, when will they be? It’ll cause some short term pain, but it’ll get everyone out in the streets.
Reissue all US currency and people are only able to change to the new real currency $100k a day over the course of a year. After that it all becomes void, and you need to actually go to the bank and sign a slip each time.
Most wealth is in assets though
Yeah, cool. Now Bozo has only 36.5 million in cash. Oh, and $240 billion in Amazon stock.
how does this change anything?
It caps wealth at 3.65 million.
Well 36.5 million, but you get the point. And the other commenter is correct, because unless you can also untie all capital from people it wouldn’t really do much. But an economic reset is needed and it will happen eventually. The longer it takes the bigger and more violent that reset will be.
Doh!
Yes.
💯💯💯
The current MAGA Republicans make neoconservatives look like angels. The neoconservatives are lesser evil, but it doesn’t exonerate them from the Bush-era warcrimes.
i’ve heard the term “neoliberal”, but not the term “neoconservative” before. mind explaining what that refers to?
Neo-cons are socially conservative politicians who have adopted the neo-liberal economic model
By dictionary definition, that’s all neoliberal. Most Democrats AND Republicans from the past 50-70 years are neoliberal, and even Trumpism is steeped in neoliberalism.
At it’s core, it is a trust that the “invisible hand” of the free market will keep the ship of society afloat. As though the body commence is some kind of organically-organized supercomputer that seeks to optimize for global prosperity. It looks to unchain the capitalist machine in the same way AI bros seek to unchain their gpt waifu so we can all singularity.
To this end, when looking for a neoliberal, you’re looking for someone who wants to privatize public services then deregulate and cut taxes for businesses. So despite it having “liberal” in the name, it is a thought movement led by conservatives. Like, Ronald Reagan is one of its staunchest champions.
Is Obama care neoliberal?
For sure. It is a market-centric solution that gave billions of dollars in additional profit to existing health insurance corporations.
Especially since the public option was killed.
Even though neo Liberal is about hands off government. Obama Care directed private companies on how they were to behave. How can that be neo Liberal?
They’re only hands off when it comes to things like social safety nets. Obamacare was basically corporate welfare.
Yea, forcing conditions on industry is welfare
Yes. Affordable Care Act funnels tax dollars to the insurance companies by giving subsidies to individuals to buy health plans.
Yes
ah yes, the whole universe is the true human body, and the market is the heart.
For neocon think Bush, Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, that whole gang.
Remember when the new Democratic President prosecuted the Bush-era war crimes?
Me neither.
I would!
Rambling on Twitter makes money. And politicians have finally figured out they can get in on the rage influencer pie, too.
It’s super effective.
Ugh, I can’t wait for Twitter to enshittify so much it withers away.
if whoever is in charge next in the US does not burn down the white house as a symbol of starting over, I will be disappointed
besides, think of all the Russian spy equipment that’s probably installed in there now
based based based Fall of America will save the world. It wont be easy tho
If they need help they can always ask the Brits/Canadians, since we have a lot of experience in that.
You think you’re the only countries that want a shot?
Kumbaya with the s’mores and the world peace. Invite everybody!
That would be a neat tradition, to burn down the last seat of government. Maybe a little violent as a metaphor, but a fun spectacle!
I propose we abandon the notion of even having a capital city. Instead of a capital, each branch has its own arrangements:
Legislative branch: Congress is supposed to be the branch that most closely represents the people. The site where Congress meets relocates after each census to the mean center of US population. They’ll be prohibited from constructing buildings of any kind. Congressional meetings will occur in rented spaces like high school gyms, convention centers, etc. Congress members won’t have to worry about expensive apartments, as they’ll be expected to sleep in quarters supplied to them, often in old dorm rooms, former homeless shelters, and other such communal living facilities.
The Supreme Court: They’re supposed to be above it all. Let’s make that literal. They will be relocated to a new building constructed on the peak of Mt. Denali, the highest mountain in the US. SCOTUS justices once confirmed to the court will be expected to relocate to their new home. They will live in simple on-site monastic cells. The only way they are ever allowed down from the mountain is if they resign their seat or die of old age. All petitions to the court must be delivered on parchment scrolls carried up the mountain by hand. The only communication they are allowed with the outside world are court briefs and rulings.
The executive: the president gets to literally be homeless. To keep them humble, the president will be ineligible to own private property of any kind. They will either have to sleep on the sidewalk or travel from home to home, accepting shelter from whomever will give it to them. They can stay on the property of any one person no more than 3 days over their entire presidential term. Also we’ll make it perfectly legal to kill the current sitting president. The president literally does not get the protection of the law. Let the most powerful be the most vulnerable.
i don’t think you can take the stink out without burning it down anyway
Anything short of a full overhaul of every IT system that DOGE every glanced at is 100% necessary.
After scraping all the gold
I don’t think that will be the moment that america starts caring about releasing toxic fumes by burning paint
You mean the gold spraypainted wall sconces?
Leave the white house. Burn down Mar a Lago

Who uses Twitter anymore that isn’t a Nazi?
Nazism is sadly a spectrum, and you can appeal to those undecided in the middle by hopping onto their stage
This “Nazi is a spectrum” nonsense is why you guys refused to have allies and got destroyed by maga. It’s why when anyone even slightly right or even left of you, has a slightly differing opinion, you call them nazis. You cheapen and confuse the situation by throwing everyone under the Nazi bus
Perhaps, but they lost the right for humanization if they are stripping it from others.
The vitriolic worst ones yes. The quiet complacent ones might be rescueable
Sorry, that’s not how this works. That’s your liberalism. Why should I compromise with a group that wants my loved ones dead? They have made their choices.
Not all of them want your loved ones dead, some of them are just scared of change and are listening to the loudest voice in the room promising them stability (and/or lies)
And then will run straight back to them at the first opportunity. There is no reason to trust them, at all. They enable the worst of us and do not care about anyone but themselves. That is not an ally.
this is the first time that i’ve ever heard this and it’s kinda hilarious.
Nazism is […] a spectrum
lol, just L.O.L. do you want a little genocide with your 3pm tea or a bit more? How many brown dead children do there have to be to make it worthwhile? (/s)
i think that you might have a point, but you really gotta work on your verbalization and presentation. saying “nazism is a spectrum” is not gonna resonate with anyone.
I think that decorating my words more to assay the feelings those who cannot parse intent would be a race to the bottom that wouldn’t help anyone
now that’s a well-worded response :)
also yes, i can see that point. i guess i’m just used to adapting my language to those around me to get better audience reception.
What?
You can both be vehemently anti-immigration and pro minority rights at the same time. It’s mental gymnastics at its core, I agree, but it exists.
Very few people hold a cohesive worldview that holds up against total scrutiny, and the one’s who do probably spend too much time inside their heads convinced of their own sanctity.
I’m so strongly opposed to illegal immigration that I think we should just open the borders and let folks come and go as they please.
I’m so strongly opposed to illegals undercutting the working class in this country, that I think we should give them all passports so that they’re legally entitled to minimum wage
illegals
They’re fucking people.
I agree, hence why I suggest giving them passports the moment they touch soil
Perhaps. But Nazism at its core is deeply racist and therefore anti-immigration and anti-minority. Do I even need to spell out what they did to Jews, Romas, the disabled and other nationalities?
Not trying to put words into your mouth, but I suspect that what you mean is that fascism is a spectrum, not Nazism itself. Fascism that started in Italy is the original fascism, and they are kinda mild compared to Nazism. While both Nazism and fascism reject liberal democracy and freedom of speech and press; embrace militarism; ultranationalism; and romantacising the past, some fascists embrace diversity. Even in Italian fascist propaganda, they advocate treating Africans as Italian compatriots. After all, Mussolini and his fascist party wants to recreate the multiethnic Roman empire. Why be racists then if that is their goal? Italian fascists don’t mind other races so long as people subscribe to Italian national identity. Italy also either refused or delayed sending Jews to concentration camps, because Italian fascists don’t really care about the Nazi view on Jews save for a few.
Even though Nazism are fascists, not all fascists are Nazis. Nazism took inspiration from fascism, albeit with more racism. Many would argue that Nazism is a subset of fascism while some say they are different ideology altogether. There was also a contemporary far right Brazilian group who admired Hitler. They sent a letter to Hitler praising him, but advocated for him to embrace diversiry like what Brazil does.
Nazism is sadly a spectrum
No it’s not.
sure it is
the threshold is quite low compared to how crazy some beliefs can get, but beyond that it is a spectrum like anything else
If you fall on the “fascism spectrum” at all, you’re a fascist. Period.
Bad news for you then, with the rise of right wing populism everybody is a fascist now.
When do we form la resistance which we all will be in? We have to do something against all these racists don’t we?
yeah that’s basically the exact argument I’m making
your argument is that all fascists are the same. mine is that some are even worse than others
Fair. The point is that on the artist formerly known as twitter, there are still some who can be talked out of the point of view because they have not seen anything else, the platform supresses them and bans conversations based on what ever elons biases are this week. Others have already drank the coolaid and the only solution then is to just throw heavy history text books at them until it sinks in that there is a reason that books covering europe from 1935-1945 weigh a ton.
Their stage where if you’re good enough at appealing to centrists, they’ll just ban you or lower your post visibility. Their stage where the algorithm can be manipulated to show centrists only your worst posts.
Their stage that dies if enough sensible movers leave that the sheep see only vileness from evil movers.
Day 1 should be to Fire everyone even remotely related to trump. Then take trumps entire cabinet to a CIA black site. Then start going after the treasonous media figures. Then day 2 you can start fixing things.
He said when they take the house. I’m that hypothetical, they would still be moderately impotent with regards to what you describe, they’d need 2/3 of Senate too.
This is the most optimistic plausible scenario for 2027, not 2029.
They’ll be working in the same building as the Senate and people fall down the stairs there all the time with no questions asked.
If they had the WH, Who would stop them?
That’s not in the cards in 2026 race, that office won’t be up for grabs until 2028… maybe
Other Democrats.
Same as it ever was. It’s a lot cheaper and easy to bribe Kirsten sinema, John fetterman, or that shmuck from WV to spoil the Dem vote
The good news is that the Senate is vulnerable to flipping. 22 of the 35 seats up for election are currently held by Republicans, and only 13 by Democrats. Dems only need 4 seats to flip the Senate, and Senate races aren’t vulnerable to gerrymandering.
The bad news is that this is the Senate class that was elected in 2020, so the Republicans up for election aren’t extremely vulnerable since they all survived a fairly blue election cycle.
Right, but a lot of that would require either POTUS or 2/3. They might be able to do some things, but almost certainly can’t remove from office or override vetos
No, but they can defund Trump and stop confirming his appointments.
