I know there's this phenomenon where people basically 'cut off their nose to spite their face', like the saying goes.

Redcaps everywhere are happy signing away their health care, tax breaks, and relinquishing our status as # 1 superpower as long as they can be openly racist and the promise to eventually turn back demographic tides so things are like in the 50s (therefore 'great again').

I get this is what's happening... but my underlying question is, how is this possible? Racism, yes, get it. But it goes against every bit of self preservation people have! This tax bill stuff opened my eyes even more.

Small biz owners voted overwhelmingly for 45. So did old people and blue collar workers without college education.

This tax bill will take away SO MANY of the deductions small biz owners (hello small biz owners!) could claim. The deficit will balloon (which cracks me up, because the entire GOP and tea party shtick of the last 8 years was 'reduce deficit or we will shut down the government!!').

You know what will happen after the tax bill passes? Suddenly the GOP will care about deficit again and they will go after... Social Security (hello blue collar workers!!) and Medicare (hello old people!!). I am not making this up:

http://beta.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-gop-social-security-20171130-story.html

http://theweek.com/speedreads/740454/gop-senator-says-tax-cuts-must-followed-by-structural-changes-social-security-medicare

https://www.fa-mag.com/news/rubio--offset-tax-cuts-by-reducing-social-security--medicare-benefits-35928.html

Put things into perspective: Some people paid (mandatory!) into social security for years, perhaps decades. This is not an entitlement, people paid for this, whether they wanted or not. And now it might get taken away from them so the millionaires can get yet another windfall. This is literally socialism and wealth redistribution.

People are ok with this. Because well, 45 retweets hate groups and says he will get rid of the scary brown people. But how does this work? How can simply racism and identity politics override self preservation and the idea that one should get ripped off?

It blows my mind guys, what do you think?

maybe this is all there is to it, yeah.

I'm pretty young so I've not paid much into social security, so I don't feel *that* ripped off. But all of these geriatric redcaps should be pretty pissed. Imagine being 60 and having paid into social security for decades. You're 2 or 5 years away from retirement!

Wait, now you will get paid half of what you would have and you'll have to wait until 70! I'd be furious if I were them. They know this is going on too, but somehow going after 'teh brown peeepol!' balances it out, it's crazy

Your main account is over 15 years old, so this claim is dubious.

LMAO Afternoon? It took like 4 minutes. BTW this post is totally a case of # 3 for that list.

See, I'm the obsessed one, yet you and fisty (whom I have in ignore) show up in my topics when they have nothing to do with you, such as this topic. You can't expect to stalk somebody around like this and not have some backlash for it, my dear alt-righter.

Now shut up while adults speak here.

this

like that trasgender woman youtuber who is all for Trump, apparently not realizing that most redhatters would want her gone with the rest of the LGBT and minority crowds.


WOW!

Is it against the TOS to link to her youtube? I wonder what she does when people bring up 45 and her VP are against LGBT rights
