20 Jan 2025 -- The Second Gilded Age Is About To Begin

[The Duke]

Leave it to the great Eugene Robinson to lay it all out in the simplest terms.

MAGA imbeciles pretend that they are concerned about the "Deep State". However, the "Deep State" will be in full view during the inauguration tomorrow...they are all the Putin-like billionaire oligarchs supporting Donald Trump for the next 4 years.

Working class Trump supporters are serfs from the Middle Ages -- it is their peasant duty to protect the wealth of their rich Repug feudal masters.

After all, rich Repugs like Trump and Musk are their intellectual and moral superiors....they simply have no choice in the matter. SUCKERS, all of them.

Eugene Robinson from the Washington Post. --

Some citizens of this republic will see Donald Trump’s second inauguration as a glorious new beginning; others will see it as a dispiriting surrender to the nation’s worst tendencies. Many commentators will surely conclude that this uncommonly frigid Monday in Washington defines the past decade, for better or worse, as the Trump Era.

Historians, however, might view Trump’s swearing-in through a wider lens: Jan. 20, 2025, could well be remembered as the apotheosis of a Second Gilded Age.

The times we live in echo the original Gilded Age, roughly from 1870 to 1900. Now, as then, wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a very few. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the richest 1 percent of Americans hold about 31 percent of the nation’s total wealth — up from 23 percent in 1990. The bottom 50 percent hold just 2.4 percent of total wealth.

Let me repeat: The net worth of fully half of the U.S. population, in the aggregate, is just a tiny fraction of the net worth of the top 1 percent.

Little consolation if you live in this country.

Trump supporters are serfs from the Middle Ages -- it is their peasant duty to protect the wealth of their rich Repug feudal masters.

After all, rich Repugs like Trump and Musk are their intellectual and moral superiors....they simply have no choice in the matter.

You want to be fucked up the ass by Trump. And you're going to get it, Kleetus. Good and hard, just the way you want it.

It's your peasant duty....SUCKER!!

I’m aware. I’ve had it on ignore for quite some time already.

It's guno. Nah, I just got IM2 and some random spamming "stuartbirdan" or some shit on ignore.
Why ignore guno when it's entertainment value?

The most demographic most excited about President-elect Donald J. Trump is Generation Z, according to a CBS News poll released Sunday.

At least 67 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 says they are optimistic about the next four years, the poll found.

Maybe they can actually live The American Dream now if things get set back right.
There is much to do, though.
The 12 Obama years, he was intentionally fucking the country up.
That will take a good bit of fixing.
Those before him after Reagan were all against us too, so yeah, fixing this is not easy.
Let's see what Trump does. He is gonna try to fix all that, but it's a hard row to hoe.
That's the goal though. Get it back to like it was for young Americans for 200 years or so.
The goal is noble, I hope much of it is achieved. Even better if it's surpassed.
Trump knows how it should be for upcoming Americans, and what it currently is is not that. They deserve better opportunities. I had better opportunities, Trump did too, he knows. That's what it is about.
The man is going to do it or die trying, good on him!

I'm a liberal that hates you MAGA white trash that does whatever billionaires want you to do....like the simpleton peasants that you are.

Pathetic white trash that fights for billionaire tax cuts. You deserve nothing but scorn and ridicule. Fucking gomers.

Worthless pieces of shit, all of you.

No, YOU are a Marxist piece of shit. And you are about to get scraped off the shoes of this country, and flushed down the drain.

 

[westwall]

You mad?

Oh yeah, he mad!

 

[westwall]

I googled these Obama tax cuts because I just couldn’t recall him implemented the largest tax cut in history. Apparently, Google can’t remember them either.

Evidently Im2stupid loves him some half black schlong.

 

[DukeU]

I'm asking you a legitimate question, and you can't answer. -- Why shouldn't billionaires be taxed more?

Democrats want to raise the taxes of billionaires, Trump and Republicans do not.

That's your problem that you won't answer, MAGA white trash pussy....not mine.

Why should billionaires be taxed more?

So more money can be wasted?

You really think if we tax billionaires more the money will be used efficiently?

 

[theHawk]

But you like it when they shit on you....your MAGA white trashness makes you vulnerable to them.

Can you provide an example of them “shitting” on me?

 

[blackhawk]

 

[kyzr]

Democrats had their shot and blew it.

Now they can sit there and bitch. No one cares.
