[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM lives in a little bubble. The country overwhelmingly favors gutting the federal gov and that support has materially increased since Elon and Big Balls have revealed the craziness of where the taxpayer dollars are going. Do you think black females in inner city communities that vote blue support spending tens of billions on illegals when our their own people are sleeping in the street? [/quote]

This is silly.

I live outside the Beltway.

I’m a straight cis person with a house of worship.

None of the people in my circle  has a government job. I’m the lowest-income person I know, but I’m the most familiar with and the most sympathetic toward libertarian arguments. I can respect the idea of Elon Musk or someone like that trying to analyze and streamline spending, with some freedom from the usual red tape.

But my friends are all completely terrified by what the Trump-Musk-Vance tri-archs are doing to federal employees, the way they’re ignoring ALL federal laws and procedures, and what the tri-archs are doing to the Treasury, our military and iur relationship with the EU.

We’re petrified about what this means for other kinds of everyday freedoms.

If we seem quiet, I think that’s because the assumption is that the tri-archs have probably hacked all of our phones and have us under surveillance. I don’t think this is a situation where people can participate much in meaningful demonstrations and stay alive. I think the only possible hope is that patriotic Republicans in Washington figure something out. [/quote]

This is crazy. I live in a deep blue area across the country from DC and nobody I know thinks or believes this. You need anxiety treatment. [/quote]

DP... You are either deeply out of touch or are trying a futile gaslighting attempt.  I have friends all over the country, most of whom are not federal employees and there are significant ripples of concern and anxiety rippling all across the nation right now.  Tonight one friend just posted a heartbreaking story about how she packed up and fled her own hometown in Wisconsin because of a flood of anti-LGBTQ messages that she suddenly started getting.  People are scared, angry, upset in ways I have never seen before in my 55+ years as an American.[/quote]

Well, let’s see. Today I went to a community soccer game where the dominant language by far was Spanish. I bought elote from a cart as usual. I then met friends for dinner in a super packed restaurant. Nobody was freaking out the entire time.

What I read on DCUM bears no resemblance to what I live every day. And I suspect I am far more in touch with ordinary Americans than you are. [/quote]

Dp here. 
The simple-mindedness of maga is what got us in this situation. Sure, people are trying to go about their lives. That doesn’t mean they aren’t extremely worried. I bet if you had gone around and interviewed people, you would have found most of them to be very concerned. The fact that you made it out of your house and that there appears to be Spanish-speaking people still able to function and run their taco truck does not mean all is well. What a weird take. [/quote]

It’s extremely typical of DCUM’s wealthy isolated Democrats that you assumed the folks at the game with me aren’t my friends and I wasn’t having extensive conversations in Spanish with them. You can’t actually imagine being friends with Latino immigrants, can you? That’s so far out of your realm of understanding that it didn’t even cross your mind.

The point is that I’m in a community that’s far more vulnerable than you and your other fellow DCUM headcases are, and they are not freaked out the way you are. Get yourself together. The solipsism of this thread is embarrassing. [/quote]

I am a real estate agent and getting houses ready for the spring market. Today I met with a painter, gardener, handyman all of whom are Hispanic, and a Vietnamese floor refinisher whose workers are Hispanic.  They are concerned about only one thing:  can they work on Saturday and Sunday so that they can make as much money as possible.  [/quote]
