All I'm saying is that the only things stopping shit from getting real have always been things like reliable shelter and food. We've been in a "housing crisis" for about 10 years now and now they are taking away peoples food and health care. If you're not willing to give people the things that they need to survive it's only a matter of time before they decide to take it themselves. If they weren't trying so hard to change history they'd pick up some history books and learn a thing or two. I'm not saying anything is going to happen, I'm just saying history tends to repeat itself.
Except how many poor countries with oligarchies and fat dictators actually have populations that fight back? We've shown time and time again, we're Russians, not French.
The Russians, who have famously never violently murdered their rulers and instituted a socialist form of government
Eh, they seem real content these days to just be downtrodden and hungry.
Thing is, they'll take it from their fellow person and community. Most will never connect the dots that it is the those up top that need to be taken down.
In any notifications to the affected, they should be told that Donald Trump is the one taking their welfare away.
