Good rural America doesn’t need to have libtard stuff like socialism power.
I live in a small town in a deeply gerrymandered red state. . A employee owned multigenerational manufacturing plant is going out of business at the end of the year because of this.
They had a contract to build frames for solar panels, the money was slashed by Doge, the contracts fell through and now the local plant is closing laying off 300 people.
It has been here in town for ~100 years. Killed because of trump.
An ya know what, they’ll vote Republican again, because Merica, that’s how it’s done. You suffer so the people that dear leader says are boogeymen, suffer as well.
The sun is woke!
He's jealous it gets more attention than he does and pissed about the retinal damage it gave him. Probably planning to send a few nukes its way to show it who's boss in this galaxy.
I mean it makes you produce seratonin, so technically you can’t get much more woke than the sun.
Clearly, we should nuke the sun and bring it some Freedom™️
"I know you are completely ruining us economically, but can we at least still say the N-word, deport the browns, and yell slurs at the gays and the trans?"
-- rural conservatives, probably
Oh look! Trump in another scheme to screw Americans and yet some of those idiots were clapping when he called them idiots.
Haven't the family farmers figured out yet that Trump thinks that he and his friends should be able to buy up all the farmer's property for pennies on the dollar and that they are behind schedule on going bankrupt so that the buyouts can begin? Come on Trump supporters, hand over your farms like you are supposed to.
It's because trump has a lot of stock in oil companies. That's it. Working to funnel money into his own pockets as always.
Pretty sure he just gets a text every morning from Putin on what to do to hurt our country further.
I cannot believe Joe Biden would fuck over real Muricans like this. When will someone rid us of this troublesome president?
okay but Harris was going to personally shoot Palestinian people in a livestream.
According to many people who were very active in the months prior to the election that haven't been seen for a long time.

Yep. The tankie types are just not to be trusted. I think it's all bad faith bullshit meant to help deliver even more damage to the United States.
The other portion are just too naive to know better, I think. Even though it's they who believe they are the more elevated ones. Everyone was in their teens, most tend to grow out of this self-centered view. 🙄
Yes, the turfed anti-Harris crowd who helped Trump get elected has turned their attention to Gavin Newsom.
Newsom is strictly for the bush league players, the quality turfing is going to El-Sayed.
And of course any Democrat who says anything about trans issues is a goddamn freeforall because that’s what its supposed to be.
Nah fuck that. Fuck Gavin Newsom. But also, we're talking before the primary. This is exactly when we need to do this.
This is not the same thing as shitting on our only non-Trump option only a couple of weeks before election day.
We say the same thing between elections, you only notice during the season.
All part of the plan to destabilize and take power. Solar is self sufficiency and dictators don't want that for anyone.
This is the answer. I am still waiting on them to start trying to send agents to barge in and "examine" plants in a garden, deciding they need to pull up people's attempts to growing anything at all.
Not because the small house garden would sustain someone, but because they want to send a message.
Your garden example is exactly it. I call this American Solarpunk.
Regular solarpunk is the happy version. Everyone has panels, the cities are green, the fight is over and the good guys won. Nice to look at. Not where we live.
American Solarpunk is the fight .... happening right now. The sun is free. Rain is free. Dirt is free. And every single thing between you and those free things has a toll booth on it. Permits. Inspections. Interconnection agreements. 25-year leases where some investment firm owns the power coming off your own roof. Utility fees you pay even when you make your own electricity. And now they’re pulling the ladder up for farmers too.
It’s not that they’re against solar. They’re against you having it without them. Same reason they’d come for the garden. A tomato plant doesn’t feed a family, but it teaches you that you don’t need them, and that’s the dangerous part.
So the “punk” in solarpunk should mean what it meant in cyberpunk: the people on the ground finding their own way around the system. Buying panels direct from China. Putting them on a pergola instead of the roof so it’s not a “solar install.” Building a battery bank in the garage without asking anyone. Learning to crimp your own wire. Is this the real movement? It’s not a pretty future. It’s a fight.
You speak the facts. It is not escapism, it is battle. And it is a battle that must be fought with every breath. A battle of teaching, guiding, illuminating. As you said, a single plant will not feed the family, but people finding ways to grow a hundred tomato plants in hidden locations? That will. As you said on the ground and the punk akin to Cyberpunk, a community, built through communication in their own language, their own means, coordinating together with others to make sure everyone survives. Not every single person has to do everything, but a community full of people with their own skillsets? That is what is feared by the powers that be. That is why they fear the internet where people can learn. That is why they tried to make parks out to be dangerous places of drugs and criminals so people could not gather and talk. That is why they try to keep people pressured to hide indoors. Even a bunch of people getting together to have an outside dinner under gazebos and string lights scares them.
Which is good. Scare them. Make them be terrified.
Call me out but I'm not gonna cry for Americans suffering.
And just in case fuck Tankies also.
"Although the executive order did not instruct the USDA to do anything in particular, the office within the agriculture department that administers REAP changed the criteria for applicants such that most solar projects would become ineligible for grants or loan guarantees."
fucking bootlickers need to stop complying in advance.
Concerning he feels this comfortable to push his base even harder now. Maybe they'll finally do something about it.
