Most of this year 47 and his lackeys have been successful in disrupt our daily life and shit-canning our futures by the destruction of the US Constition and the dismantling of the Great Society fostered by President Lyndon Johnson back in the 1960s. We hated LBJ for the Viet-Nam War.
According to Wikipedia the core programs of the Great Society focused on a "war on poverty" which increased federal involvement in education, employment, and healthcare. The Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 created a Job Corps and Volunteers in Service to America; the Food Stamp Act of 1964 provided low-income people assistance in purchasing food; the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 authorized federal expenditure on schools with low-income students; and the Social Security Amendments of 1965 created Medicaid, which funds some medical costs for low-income individuals, and Medicare, a health insurance program for people aged 65 and over. Measures designed to end racial injustice included the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibited racial segregation in schools, public spaces, and workplaces; the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which ensured that minorities could exercise their right to vote; the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which abolished quotas based on national origin and placed a greater emphasis on skills and links to U.S. citizens; and the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which prohibited housing discrimination. Additional projects included the National Endowment for the Arts; consumer protection measures; the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1965, which expanded the federal housing program; the Motor Vehicle Air Pollution Control Act of 1965, which limited motor vehicle emissions; and the National Trails System Act of 1968, which created a system of hiking trails.
Ever since then the GOP leaders, federal and state, have attacked these programs as creeping socialism or even red communism in order the fear-mongering their constituents into rejecting something of obvious help to their health and welfare. All to shift money to the banks and the rich.
Now Trump and his Nazi cronies seek to eradicate LBJ's progressive policies and they have shut down the government. Food stamps have been cancelled. Medicare and Mediaid are threatened. Agencies eradicated by toxic DOGE. Meanwhile Trump holds a ball for his billionaire friends. Another $thirty billion to bolster his ally in Argnetinaadn knocking down the White House to better suit his regal regime. $170 billion to ICE to attack our rights as human beings in the USA. MAGA supporters boast that ICE is simply going after criminal migrants. We don't not buy anything they are selling with the help of the media; print, TV, and social. The DNC seeks to contain the new Democratic Party to preserve the politics of Bill Clinton, the Arkansas drug-dealing governor from the Iran Contra Era. Those politics have brought the USA to the brink of a dictatorship.
The new strategy. I'm a hippie, punk radical and a firm believer in democracy. All for one and one for all - Alexandre Dumas from The Three Musketeers. No more What Is To Be Done. We are not helpless.
Stop paying your taxes. There is no government. Deconsume. Stop buying what we don't need. Use cash ie $$$, baht, Euros et al. The banks want to eliminate money, so they can extract 3-4% on each purchase with a debit or credit card. Trump got rid of pennies by saying they cost too much. Those coins circulate for years. There is a call to boycott everything at month's end. Boycott Home Depot and Walmart. Prepare for a weeklong period of no spending. Stock up. Don't order online from Amazon. Hit them in their pockets as they are hurting us. "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face." Mike Tyson. And vote today, comrades. Workers of the world unite. No more surrender.
Kick out the Jams, motherfuckers.
