It’s not a left or right battle like the Epstein class wants you to believe. It’s the Billionaires and Trillionaires vs everyone else.

The United States needs tons of millionaires with less billionaires and trillionaires. Also, the United States needs healthcare as a human right.

    It’s not a left or right battle like the Epstein class wants you to believe.

    I mean. It is, tho. It’s literally a plan by the right. And the Epstein class is literally the right establishment, his best friend is literally their winning presidential candidate, twice.

      It’s a plan by the wealthy, who couldn’t give less of a shit about abortion, or bible verses in schools, or trans athletes. The wealthy have co-opted the right to implement their plan for them.

        Some of them legit care about those things, too. But they also know they can escape to freedom since they are the true “globalists”, ironically. Money can go virtually anywhere, and people with enough of it can also go virtually anywhere as well. They can easily escape the hell that the conservative-created Jesusland would be…

      The distinction is that a rural american can believe they are a right-wing and no one will deny them that affiliation. So the framing of ‘left vs right’ captures those rural america folks.

      They cannot possibly consider themselves on the inside among the billionaire class, and Epstein class is a good pejorative to highlight precisely how much those folks get away with that rural americans don’t see.

      You are factually correct, that the entirety of the ‘right’ in practice is controlled by those hyper wealthy interests, but the framing should focus on the owner class’s misbehavior to everyone’s detriment rather than implicitly excluding whatever other conservative values the population may possess.

        Democrats have had 45 Senators for Trump’s second term, 48 or less senators for the past 13+ years.

        But I would love to hear an example?

                S.1748, first attempted in 2024 as S. 1409, is in a senate committie, yet to be passed by either house or senate, but it certainly does have some bipartisan support, the question being if the final version conforms to P25

                COPPA was passed in 1998

                ACA as in the Affordable Care Act? IDK wtf you’ve been smoking but the GOP fucking hates that we cover disadvantaged healthcare needs with taxes, it’s definitely not 2025 agenda.

                SOPA is from 2011

                No idea what bill youre referring to with P2025, I think you’re confused about a lot of things.
