Then register all your guns. Oh, you don't think they are counting that?

You have been on a master list for your entire life.

I am a vet. Trump has not hurt me one bit.

I am a vet too, and one that depends on the VA to help me due to my physical ailments. What has happened is that due to Trump's cuts, the VA has had to cut a lot of staff and when I go to the VA, the waiting period to talk to the doctors has expanded from 30 minute-to-1-hour, to now having to wait 2 hours or more. There is less help available, given that there is less staff. Calling the VA and trying to reach a department, has also increased dramatically. When I try to reach the operator and ask to be transferred to a department, I am put on hold for 10-15 minutes, just to talk to the operator, and when finally transferred, the nurse of the doctor also puts he on hold for another 10-15 minutes.

As far as the VA, I have not been hurt economically because of Trump, but I have been hurt time-wise. I spend more time now just trying to contact the VA than ever before.

We saw this happen to the Visitors at the US Capitol on January 6 of 2021.

So you don't mind that happening to you? Because now, it will be worse

A FAR more powerful Deep State than ever.

Mixed in with corporatism, which is how Mussolini defined fascism.

Great job, MAGA, great job.

Surveillance is much longer than this. Anyone destroyed from those who have the capability to oppress know all too well. Real ID was legislated a couple of decades ago. No one stopped it. Including Progressives. Homeland Security was not stopped, and the Patriot Act was not stopped. Of course, the politicians over many many decades caused this with their legislation and reduced civility even if many different groups got along somewhat better. We are closer and closer to the high-tech version of "your paperverk please". To some that is vengeance for they know how they were treated from the people who have the power to oppress. And most of them will suffer with the rest of us. Get the Prog politicians to eliminate all of this as an agenda. Sell it to the voters. Constantly hammer it.

Hey if you aren't worried about being put on a master list that's cool. I didn't know Obama did it. Surprised you didn't complain.

I mentioned it on more than one occasion.

How will it be worse?

Worse than murdering unarmed protesters in cold-blood?

No one offers a better healthcare system than we do. The issue is that you equate a good healthcare system with it being free.

In AMERICA, our government would control a universal healthcare system. Because our government is so toxic and volatile, the reality is this: If Democrats run the government, they will use your healthcare to force you to comply with their edicts.

If Democrats are in charge and you are a Conservative, you would likely face the same—or even worse—treatment from Democrats. Over the past 16 years, Democrats have shown that they do not hesitate to use political power against their opponents, especially Republicans.

You are severely misinformed

AI Overview

Wasn't Jan 6th just the worst?

That's what you people keep claiming.

Having Trump's help in getting the personal information on everyone in the country is a very profitable situation
