This was prophesied? I must have missed that page in the Bible.

Trump has refused to say what he’ll do because threatening Social Security during an election would cost him a lot of votes from seniors. On the other hand, now that he has won, Republicans have started freely admitting that Project 2025 is the plan for this administration. Project 2025 has this to say about Social Security.

Project 2025’s 900-page Mandate for Leadership fails to propose any solutions for Social Security and says, on page 710, that its proposals for the program could not be “covered here in depth.” Notably, that line was co-authored by economist Stephen Moore, who has advocated to slash and privatize Social Security, once calling it a “Ponzi scheme” and encouraging students to burn their Social Security cards. Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, has also gone on record to say the Mandate for Leadership manifesto is just the basis of their plan and “there are parts of the plan that we will not share with the left.” Last month, his organization called for raising the retirement age, and the author of that analysis, Rachel Greszler, is listed as a Project 2025 contributor.

I would hazard to guess that the incoming administration will, at the very least, try to raise the Full Retirement Age to 69. I will be pleasantly shocked if they don’t try to privatize it as well.

Right? Democratic administrations have done better in almost every case for the last 75 years!

For well over a decade economists and other social scientists have documented a strong advantage in economic performance during Democratic administrations. A new Economic Policy Institute report updates this work to the latest data available and confirms that this Democratic advantage persists. Positive indicators like growth in gross domestic product (GDP), income, and wages are faster, while negative indicators like unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are lower. Further, the fruits of economic growth are distributed substantially more equally under Democratic presidents.

Grabbing pussies. She’s in favor of that.

You better watch your mouth or he’ll send Seal Team 6 to delete your ass. It’ll be an official act so it won’t be illegal for him to do so.

So they voted for the guy who’s stated goals of adding high tariffs to all imports and doing mass deportations of workers necessary to the agriculture industry will fuck the economy royally. Yeah, that makes sense.

Oh there will be an election, but it will be 100% rigged. The votes won’t matter.

Rick Scott as speaker? That tracks. If the President is going to be a convicted felon and outright fascist, then the Speaker really should be a criminal too. Scott, the person who oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in history, fits the bill perfectly.

Showing just how gullible American voters are.

I don’t know. I’m not certain that they could legally stop him as long as he behaves himself.
