Want to know the truth about #Republican plans for #Medicare / #Medicaid? They're not just cuts - they're a blueprint for dismantling our entire #healthcare system.
Welcome to Trump 2.0.
Chuck Schumer, lead Democrat in the US Senate, says his party will not vote to advance the #Republican funding bill, which the US House negotiated without any Democratic participation. Failing Democratic support, cloture will fail, and a shutdown Friday is possible. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/schumer-democrats-block-house-funding-bill-heightening-shutdown/story?id=119716576
Dear #Americans,
It’s not you we hate, it’s your government, it’s the #Russian asset #President, rapist, felon & low life #Trump.
We’ll be saying harsh, even abusive things about the #US or #America - they aren’t aimed at the majority of Americans, but at the #Nazi loving #Republican #MAGA loyalists.
Your govt has betrayed it’s allies, broken long term trade agreements, turned some of it’s own population into targets for thugs & bigots - the world is just responding.
You know what country in recent history was #Republican without #Democracy? "R" in #USSR stands for "Republics." That is where the U.S. is headed.
"But can anyone imagine any scenario where the shoe was on the other foot & #Democrats needed 7 #Republican votes in exchange for literally nothing & they found 7 who said, “Okay, sure why not?”
It’s literally unimaginable.
...Democrats have this one chance to ... increase the attention on something the #public is already angry about. They need to take a real risk in order to change or at least slow the trajectory of the destruction."

I have a friend who is pretty much a #Republican by default (i.e., he claims to be apolitical but only consistently avoids political topics when the Republican position is the status quo; he will comment on other issues). He might be trying out a new "open mindedness" thing, though, and he once even claimed to be "more or less an #Anarchist" at heart.
I'm making a list of #questions to ask him about #anarchy. They were significantly more provocative until my partner (who is very good at this kind of thing) offered some rewordings:
Anarchy questions
How do you feel about the unrestricted movement of people? (i.e., #OpenBorders)
What are your thoughts on loving relationships (romantic/sexual) with multiple partners (i.e., more than 2), where everyone consents, up to and including marriage? (i.e., #polyamory, #RelationshipAnarchy, etc.)
How would you feel about your children having an equal voice in their education, along with all other individuals that are a part of their school around decisions like hours of operation, topics taught, hiring, etc.? (i.e., #AlternativeSchools, #AlternativeEducation)
What are your thoughts about individual police accountability when officers break laws?
What is your cost/benefit analysis of the existence of #police?
What is your cost/benefit analysis of the existence and/or current implementation of #prisons?
What are your thoughts on people inhabiting abandoned houses they don't own? (i.e., #squatting)
What do you think about #RightToRoam (i.e., even private land should allow people to freely pass through, temporarily camp, etc.)?
Notes:
This is why it's a pointless exercise to try to "debate" with anyone who's drunk the MAGA koolaid: https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/knowingness-and-the-politics-of-ignorance-deb?r=1rtvr5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
