It’s not a left or right battle like the Epstein class wants you to believe. It’s the Billionaires and Trillionaires vs everyone else.

The United States needs tons of millionaires with less billionaires and trillionaires. Also, the United States needs healthcare as a human right.

It’s not a left or right battle like the Epstein class wants you to believe.

I mean. It is, tho. It's literally a plan by the right. And the Epstein class is literally the right establishment, his best friend is literally their winning presidential candidate, twice.

    It's a plan by the wealthy, who couldn't give less of a shit about abortion, or bible verses in schools, or trans athletes. The wealthy have co-opted the right to implement their plan for them.

    Some of them legit care about those things, too. But they also know they can escape to freedom since they are the true "globalists", ironically. Money can go virtually anywhere, and people with enough of it can also go virtually anywhere as well. They can easily escape the hell that the conservative-created Jesusland would be...

    The distinction is that a rural american can believe they are a right-wing and no one will deny them that affiliation. So the framing of 'left vs right' captures those rural america folks.

    They cannot possibly consider themselves on the inside among the billionaire class, and Epstein class is a good pejorative to highlight precisely how much those folks get away with that rural americans don't see.

    You are factually correct, that the entirety of the 'right' in practice is controlled by those hyper wealthy interests, but the framing should focus on the owner class's misbehavior to everyone's detriment rather than implicitly excluding whatever other conservative values the population may possess.

    There has never been legislation thats come from the Heritage Foundation that democrats didnt love. They put up no opposition to P25 because they support it

    Democrats have had 45 Senators for Trump's second term, 48 or less senators for the past 13+ years.

    But I would love to hear an example?

    S.1748, first attempted in 2024 as S. 1409, is in a senate committie, yet to be passed by either house or senate, but it certainly does have some bipartisan support, the question being if the final version conforms to P25

    COPPA was passed in 1998

    ACA as in the Affordable Care Act? IDK wtf you've been smoking but the GOP fucking hates that we cover disadvantaged healthcare needs with taxes, it's definitely not 2025 agenda.

    SOPA is from 2011

    No idea what bill youre referring to with P2025, I think you're confused about a lot of things.

    Forgot to add, Musk makes #7 and he pledged 100 million on the midterms alone. His dad also fucked his stepdaughter and is a pedo.

    And he paid $50 Billion Dollars to buy Twitter and used it to support Trump and conservatives, and he was literally given an (illegal) position in the trump admin to (illegally) fire people and shut down programs.

    Just a bit of clarification: Musk owns Twitter, and has said he has no interest in TikTok. That's owned by a group that includes Larry Ellison, who is the 2nd richest man, and has been buying up media companies like CBS, HBO, Warner Bros, CNN, Paramount, etc.

    Ellison is every bit as psychopathic as Musk, and deserves the same punishment.

    Confiscate every penny from these treasonous families.

    The Koch Family is particularly guilty of right-wing treason, with their founding patriarch Fred Koch being one of the founders and primary financial supporters of the ultra-conservative John Birch Society. They've been causing conservative trouble for decades, and it's time to strip them of their financial power. We would remove a gun from a violent offender, and the Koch family has used their money as a violent weapon against the American people for many years. It's time to confiscate their weapons.

    Confiscate their ENTIRE estates, and use it to start the "America First Fund" (irony intended), which will be the seed money for all the Social programs we'll start when we take back power - health care, college/trade school, UBI, pre-k, public schools, etc.

    Also use the America First Fund to collect MAGA fines ($1 billion minimum fine per count, no matter how small the crime), including the corporate tariff refunds. Those tariffs have badly hurt the American citizens, and the refunds should directly benefit THEM.

    Make the American citizens aware of the America First Fund, and make them understand that this is THEIR money. The amount in the American First Fund should be announced on the news every night, just like the stock market scores. The rich can see the Dow rise, and the rest of America can see the America First Fund rise, and demand more. Whenever a major corporate fine is announced, the announcement should include it was put into the America First Fund.

    We should be demanding that the government grow the America First Fund, the way Sociopathic Oligarchs scream for the stock market to climb, which means more criminal and civil prosecutions against corporations. By the time they learn the hard way to behave themselves, the America First Fund will be well-funded, and producing its own money.

    Leave those Oligarch families destitute, and ineligible to receive the benefits that their fortunes paid for. Let them experience for themselves what it feels like for good citizens to have what they need, while the broke oligarch families go without, and get despised for it.

    Remember, though: being obscenely rich is not elite.

    The term "elite" only applies to people with who racked up lots of student debt going to college, know more than conservatives, believe in science and human rights and so on, and who don't vote Republican.

    Honestly attempting to fit their rhetoric into anything coherent has been proven, endlessly, to be a complete waste of time.

    They clearly aren’t bound by anything they say. Their positions on everything from climate to religion, the economy, immigration, social theory, and certainly any topic with moral implications, are always a facade delivered in bad faith and in service of an explicitly immoral outcome.

    Those who repeat their positions, the rank and file “believer,” might feel strongly about them, strongly enough to rage about them online or inflict them upon those they once loved, but never enough to remember an inkling of that fervor the very next day when they are handed a contradiction by one of their trusted outlets, be they pundits or preachers.

    Among those lost to RWA, the feelings themselves are the only tenants of their new religion which remain consistent, whatever topic they are currently led to obsess over, and those feelings can be named: fear, anger, and hate.

    Fear, anger, and hate becomes the crux of their entire belief system, whatever religion or sociopolitical ideal they profess. Little else of who they once were exists after those feelings germinate and mature. Fear, anger, and hate replaces nearly all of them until it is basically all that remains.

    There must be some glimmer of humanity left inside their withered hearts and darkened minds, otherwise we wouldn’t have anecdotes of individuals who escape the cult, who look back and no longer recognize themselves. But the longer they remain inside, the weaker that glimmer becomes and harder it is to see.

    You can't just kill them. You need to deal with the forces that enabled them. But getting rid of them would be a good start.
