'Trump Flipped On Us': MAGA Reacts to Potential National Citizen Database

[konradv]

"Us?"

Who is "us?"

I mean, who do you think MAGA is?

MAGA or MAGA-adjacent does it really make a difference? If you’re trying
to both-sides the issues in the face of fascism, you’ve lost your way.

 

[Delldude]

Keeping our info compartmental within the separate agencies was for security purposes... The "badguys" would have to go to more than one agency system to gather everything on us.... (and bad guys could include an invasive govt itself....)

So your bad guys have already hacked the entire government system......more than once.

Wonder what they got?

MAGAs who rant about the Deep State are suddenly okay with a Data base on all citizens.

There idiotic argument is if you have nothing to hide so what’s the big deal.

So when Trump proposes cameras and microphones in every home they will be fine with that as well?

Why not if you have nothing to hide?

Don’t worry In a few years they will say they were never for this and like Bushies in the 00s will deny they were for this Trumpist stupidity.

 

[Delldude]

Feds had this data base for some time you clown.

 

[JLW]

Feds had this data base for some time you clown.

Only in Trumpist clown land did the feds have a database on all citizens,

Prior to Trump the federal agencies had firewalls from each one looking at the others databases.

But MAGA morons all cheered Trump when he ripped those firewalls down.

The real problem is that Progressives would be okay with this. Tell us who to vote for! progs kept and expanded the Patriot Act. They kept Homeland Security as they used to destroy common citizens with Garland as we saw. Airports and flying are places of suffering compared to many decades ago and the TSA is part and parcel of that.

So, is there really a mega database?

The senators and congressional representatives who sent the letter make clear early on that they don't actually have proof that the mega database is a thing, admitting that their concerns are based on that NYT report.

The Register covered similar concerns last month when we looked at a reported IRS hackathon reportedly being undertaken under the direction of the Department of Government Efficiency and with the support of Palantir. The original report that informed our story didn't mention a mega database, but did talk about a supposed "mega API," which a Department of the Treasury (the IRS' parent agency) spokesperson admitted to us was under development, but wasn't anything new.

Dems hyperventilate about Palantir's work with IRS in letter

: They're taking the data from IRSengard, claim Dems; officials tell us that's not true

Who? Who are MY bad guys???

 

[Ropey]

There's a whole lot of 'panicans running around.

Calm down, take your lithium.

NOW!

 

[Ropey]

Who? Who are MY bad guys???

Everyone that hates America and wants to turn it into a third world shithole, of course.

 

[Dragonlady]

What they don't understand is that Trump isn't the one who "flipped".

They need to look in the mirror.

Trump has been fully open and honest about his intentions from Day 1. He hasn’t wavered in his desire to destroy the American economy or the Constitution.

I don’t know why people are so surprised.

There's a pretty wide swath of this country that really doesn't give a shit, even if they do vote.

Hey, Trump is funny, I'll vote for him.

Sad but true. All this potential, and we've pissed it away.

'Trump Flipped On Us': MAGA Reacts to Potential National Citizen Database​

Supporters of President Donald Trump expressed anger and disbelief online following reports that his administration had advanced plans to create a national citizen database with technology firm Palantir.

Newsweek reached out to Palantir for comment.

Why It Matters
The White House has contracted Palantir, a Colorado-based analytics company co-founded by Trump supporter Peter Thiel, to assist in compiling a database of personal information on American citizens, according to unnamed government officials and Palantir employees who spoke with The New York Times. The purported deal follows project talks Palantir had with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the Department of Education.

The reaction from Trump's supporters reflected growing unease within conservative circles, indicating a rare rupture between the president and key segments of his constituency. The controversy underscores nationwide anxieties around privacy, civil liberties, and the growing influence of technology firms over personal information management.

What To Know
The Palantir deal marks a significant development in government data collection, drawing sharp concern from privacy advocates and Trump's own core base, otherwise known as "MAGA." Detractors compared the centralized database effort to surveillance initiatives in authoritarian regimes.

Numerous pro-Trump voices expressed dismay and feelings of betrayal across social media platforms like X.

"People are so quick to suggest that I flipped on Trump...No, no, no...I didn't flip on Trump. TRUMP FLIPPED ON US. I'm just not willing to continue living in a LIE, and I will tell you the unfortunate TRUTH about it," The Patriot Voice wrote on X to his 158,000 followers.

[ ] ….

The Hodgetwins, popular conservatives and Trump supporters, have more than 3.3 million followers on X. In response to The New York Times report, they wrote on May 30, "Hope this ain't true y'all.”

Another post that same day reads: "Don't know if this is true but I did not vote for this."

Nick Fuentes, a far-right Trump supporter described as an "America First" white nationalist, called the association between the Trump administration and Palantir "the ultimate betrayal of his own people."

"Feeding every 'MAGA extremist' into an AI database controlled by a CIA/Mossad cutout," Fuentes said on X, where he has roughly 561,000 followers. "Seriously, if Palantir isn't the deep state, then what is?"

"Trump flipped on us": MAGA reacts to potential national citizen database

The Feds know who I am via my tax returns, and my social security number, and my selective service registration, and my voter registration, and my Passport.

My State knows who I am via by Driver's License, and my old working papers (for working at 15), and my State/City Tax Return, and my voter registration, and my EZPASS.

How is adding one more "box" to all this confirming I am a citizen the end of the world?

Trump went bankrupt four times. None of that is Trump’s fault. It’s all the fault of the bankers and the US economic system. It must be destroyed.

If Trump couldn’t succeed in the US economy then the US economy must be changed.

Since the 1980s the GQP has been on a crusade to completely misapply capitalism, and it has manifested in massive and growing wealth disparities. Worse, the rank & file -- who have suffered as much as anyone because of it as the middle class has collapsed -- have been told to blame the Democrats for that, of course.

I've a very comfy capitalist, and it's hard to watch them screw this up so badly that people would even CONSIDER another system. But we're seeing more and more of it.

J. Edgars dream comes true from the grave. But in reality they're just combining all the data from each agency on us to one location.

You would think that the libertarian-leaning Trumpsters --of which there are many -- would be screaming at the top of their lungs over this.

But no, they're criticizing anyone who brings it up. No big deal. Get over it.

Trump specializes in breaking people. That's what he's done to the GQP and most of his base.

Wonder why?

DOGE pointed out all of our agency's don't have the ability to cross talk. That means you can scam one department while doing the same in others.

How's your prostate doing, Deb?

Back in the 1970s I read a magazine article which opined that the Harvard Sschool of Bbusiness with their bottom line focus, would one destroy the American economy someday. The focus of profits as the be-all and end-all of corporate existence, with no focus on employees or being a good corporate citizen, was destructive in nature.

At the time I read this article, I had just applied to the MBA program at Western University, which is modelled on Harvard’s program so I thought this man crazy.

That piece of stayed with me all these years. It niggled at the back of my mind, and now I see how right he truly was.

Of course, the Supreme Court had a large hand in all of this by siding with the rights of the “owners” (shareholders), over all other interests in lawsuits, which went to the SC.

While this may be the case in small closely held private corporations, the shareholderholders of large multinational Dow Jones 500 stocks, can hardly be called “owners“. They merely park an investment in a secure spot and live off corporate profits paid as dividends.

They are, in essence, living off the work of others, and those others haven’t had a raise in 40 years. Those with capital should be spending their capital and those who are working should be getting fair wages.
