|
|To Trump, kids with cancer are an unnecessary financial
|burden. Much like Haitians, Mexicans, Congolese, and
|other minorities in his mind. He's even turned down
|financially helping his own relatives with terminal
|illnesses, telling his own family that those dying members
|of their clan 'aren't worth it' and that they should 'just
|let them go'. It's the same reason that he doesn't care
|about Marla Maples and Tiffany Trump. When Marla
|announced to him that she was pregnant, Trump's response
|was "What are you going to do about it?". She kept
|Tiffany, and a burden was born into his life.

|u/tairar - 8 hours

|The gerrymandering doesn't really apply for statewide elections

|related to the house and state legislature.
|u/hamlet_d - 8 hours
|
|The second part (suppression and oppression) does, and the first
|applies to how blue Texas is in congress. If you look at the
|districts, it looks like spaghetti to ensure the maximum number
|for GOP reps while also concentrating democrats in fewer and
|fewer districts. Gerrymandering also is a
|suppression/oppression tactic as well because of the way it
|feels psychologically if you are a blue voter in a gerrymandered
|red district it can be very demoralizing because there is no
|real competitivity in the elections.
|u/Deep90 - 8 hours

|There's not much they could have done before the election. But

|government programs, etc to try to court the non MAGA repubs.
|Her policies were absolutely just middle of the line, but that’s
|not what was advertised Her economic policies were some of the
|most detailed, with actual figures and calculations and
|solutions - but the electorate who polled “the economy” being
|their top concern voted against her while simultaneously saying
|she was too progressive. “Progressive” means social issues for
|people, and the MAGA messaging/ads were about extremely niche
|issues like trans men in women’s sports and late term/post term
|abortions and whatever health misinformation I can’t even get
|into - but none of it was true nor part of her campaign. This

|The protests had no real or lasting effect the last time. It was
|cathartic, but accomplished nothing. I'd even argue that they
|probably had a negative effect ultimately, because some of the Trump
|voters cite them as a reason they voted for him this election.
|It's even worse now, too. Protests only have value when the power
|structures can be moved. MAGA controls literally EVERYTHING now. The
|most likely outcome from protesting is getting blasted with pepper
|spray and being put on a list for the government to hassle. I'm not
|going to be protesting this round, but I guess you all can go nuts
|if you want. Resistance could be effective. Resistance simply means
|disobedience and directly aiding the groups that are being hurt, but
|at a community level. Boycotting, too. When the oligarchs control
|everything then what they REALLY feel is loss of revenue. Delete

|>The rallies were organized before the election results were released,
|as a show of frustration with the U.S. government regardless of the
|political party in charge. Gee, maybe if they'd done a tiny bit of
|research they would have realized that the Democratic Party has been
|fighting FOR Americans, while the Republican Party has been undermining
|America's democracy for almost 100 years. Mistreating military
|veterans: Republican president Herbert Hoover, who participated in the
|'relaxing' of government regulations on Wall Street and the banking
|industry, which helped cause the collapse of 1929. His 'hands off'
|approach deepened the Great Depression. In another parallel with Trump
|(and some other Republicans), Hoover's financial failures led to a
|massive tent city of homeless veterans and their families encamped in
|Washington DC. The veterans wanted early payment of their service bonus
|certificates for fighting in WWI, and they needed it sooner than the
|delayed schedule that Hoover wanted to stick to. From Wikipedia:
|>Many of the war veterans had been out of work since the beginning of
|the Great Depression. The World War Adjusted Compensation Act of 1924
|had awarded them bonuses in the form of certificates they could not
|redeem until 1945. Each certificate, issued to a qualified veteran
|soldier, bore a face value equal to the soldier's promised payment with
|compound interest. The principal demand of the Bonus Army was the
|immediate cash payment of their certificates. >On July 28, 1932, U.S.
|Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from
|all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shot at
|the protestors, and two veterans were wounded and later died. President
|Herbert Hoover then ordered the U.S. Army to clear the marchers'
|campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded a
|contingent of infantry and cavalry, supported by six tanks. The Bonus
|Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their
|shelters and belongings burned. Notice the similarities between the
|Republican treatment of American veterans in 1932, and Trump and his
|sycophants' current attitudes towards the US military and its personnel,
|Trump's treatment of protesters, and the Republican Party's efforts to
|make homelessness illegal. Another example of the Republican Party's
|long-running schemes to install a christo-fascist authoritarian
|dictatorship over America:
|https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot >The Business Plot, also
|called the Wall Street Putsch and the White House Putsch, was a
|political conspiracy in 1933, in the United States, to overthrow the
|government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install Smedley Butler
|as dictator. >Butler, a retired Marine Corps major general, testified
|under oath that wealthy businessmen were plotting to create a fascist
|veterans' organization with him as its leader and use it in a coup
|d'état to overthrow Roosevelt. >In 1934, Butler testified under oath
|before the United States House of Representatives Special Committee on
|Un-American Activities (the "McCormack–Dickstein Committee") on these
|revelations. >Although no one was prosecuted, the congressional
|committee final report said, "there is no question that these attempts
|were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution
|when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient." >.... It
|[Bonus Army protest/homeless veterans tent city] was encouraged by an
|appearance from retired Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, a popular
|military figure of the time. A few days after Butler's arrival,
|President Herbert Hoover ordered the marchers removed and U.S. Army
|cavalry troops under the command of Gen. Douglas MacArthur destroyed
|their camps.[citation needed] >Butler, although a self-described
|Republican, responded by supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 US
|presidential election. By 1933, Butler started denouncing capitalism and
|bankers, going on to explain that for 33 years he had been a "high-class
|muscle man" for Wall Street, the bankers and big business, labeling
|himself as a "racketeer for Capitalism". I see that even back then the
|New York Times swung in the direction of the pathologically greedy elite
|conservatives.... Corruption: https://rantt.com/gop-admins-

|case. We compared 28 years each of Democratic and Republican
|administrations, 1961-2016, five Presidents from each party. >During
