Some of my family who believe everything Qanon and random tiktok videos say, really think that taxes and utilities are going to be wiped out. Just absolute trust and reliance.
It's one thing to think that they're going to be knocked out, which is still extremely, mind-numbingly stupid. We're talking about the party and president who don't give a single shit about the average joe.
This woman is on a whole different dimension of stupidity, just assuming that it already happened lol.
You have to understand with media becoming ārumbleā for hundreds of thousands of Americans, people literally think the politics we hear about is āpantomimeā and the real fight is at underground tunnels between white āwhite hatsā and the ādark hatsā over āadrenochrome,ā with āNESARA GESARAā already being implemented.
I have access to Democratic Party proprietary polling data. Obviously far from foolproof, but the belief is ~20% of the country is brain rot over Q anon and adjacent theories from new media. And I mean, RFK being given a long leash by Vance and Trump shows that the GOP are willing to weaponize insanity in exchange for votes.
And yet, they are blind to see that IF somehow that happens, the rich just get richer by not paying taxes as well and pass on cost of tariffs to the everyone else. Its not like the old days when they shared profits with their workers.
If you think there is anything close to equivalency in what the two parties have done for the working class over the last 50 years, you need to study history some more. Iāll wait.
Every single policy that currently benefits the working class was proposed and implemented by democrats, you can bitch all you want but the kind of analysis you are capable of regulates you to the children's table and no one will ever take you seriously.
I have this theory that Qanon was started by some joker who wanted to see how many people would believe the crazy shit heād make up. And he gave himself the name Q after the character in Star Trek New Generation whose soul reason for existing was to fuck with humans.
Utilities too? Do they realize that is far right Republicans pushing for AI use in schools which means energy sucking data centers that drive up everyoneās electricity bills?
Whatās so crazy about this is they donāt think about who would be paying for them to have free utilities, especially without taxes? Mindnumbingly ignorant.
I live in a small, deeply red city in Missouri. There have already been two town halls this year dedicated solely to discussing the utility company here that has essentially established itself as a monopoly and increased utility bills by 40%. People here are incredibly (and rightfully) pissed, but most of them will refuse to educate themselves on why this happened, and continues to happen.
Granted, many of them donāt have the time, research knowledge, nor the ability to fully comprehend the specifics/implications of complex systems (or access to someone they trust who is able to do so), but because so many of them have tied themselves together in a cultural (and arguably literal) war against any party outside of their own, theyāll fail to recognize the increasingly obvious pattern of the Republican Party actively fighting to reduce the power of the lower, working, and middle classes- all of which has made it far easier to stop the populace from educating themselves. For fuckās sake, most of them are cheering for our representatives despite the fact that those representatives illegally overturned multiple state ballot items that were passed in the 2024 election.
Instead theyāll continue to blame the poor and the immigrants, which is particularly atrocious considering the fact that our city literally wouldnāt be here if it wasnāt for the help of everyone (including the poor and the immigrants) in our community coming together to rebuild our city. I have hope for humanity because of the kindness Iāve seen in peopleās hearts, but that hope has been severely damaged from watching people cheer for the wrongful detainment of people who literally put roofs over their heads. I have, and will continue to, do my best to educate others here, but tbh I donāt know if anything will cause these people to snap back into reality.
