[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ridiculous. How can we let this happen?

Surely people will rise up when everyone is out of work, and it won’t be pretty. [/quote]

Most "people" in America don't care and don't know a single federal employee. They just think all these DC types are these shadowy deep state DEI play producing weirdos. Of course their lives will be affected by this but they aren't paying close enough attention to understand it. It's too abstract for most to understand slashing NIH funding that impacts clinical trials might affect them down the line. You would have thought COVID would have opened their eyes a little more to the impact the federal government has... but nope. They'll only care once it impacts something in their everyday life, and even then, itll be too many layers removed for them to grasp it. It's going to have to be something very immediate and direct like a SS check gets impacted, their drug price rises, Medicare benefits get slashed, etc.  [/quote]

That's why I think educating people (particularly in red states) is so important. Not in a "you hillbilly idiot, you got exactly what you voted for" sort of way of course, but showing them in plain terms the impact TRUMP's policies are having.

My friend lives in an area where Trump has shut down a training facility - lots of folks are out of work, including the more blue collar types who do things like housekeeping, building maintenance, etc. She spoke with one impacted person and essentially said "I am so sorry Trump decided to shut this program down, I really agreed with its mission and I am sorry you are out of a job." The person in question did not make the connection from Trump --> loss of job, but hopefully they do now. [/quote]
