"House Republican leadership put a giant bullseye on Medicaid, with the intent to strip Americans of their healthcare benefits to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations."
Honestly, this is probably people forgetting the size of the country.
The people who deserve the guillotine are in Washington d.c. the vast majority of the country is very, very fucking far away. California to Washington DC is 4 times the distance from London to Berlin.
4,495 kilometers away.
If we were all within a 4 hour drive of our capital, we could riot or protest as an entire country where the people in power are. But asking the entire USA to protest at once is an enormous undertaking. People are just so fucking far away from the people making the decisions and doing the harm.
We are so broke as a country living paycheck to paycheck people can’t take a week off work to go to a protest and no one is organizing the travel of all these people to the capital. We should have groups organizing buses from every corner of the country to Washington and building some infrastructure for people to live and camp indefinitely causing every politician in Washington to know our opinion and demand them to work for us again.
The US is still rich and prosperous by any standard and isn’t doing “way worse”. It is regressing by developed countries’ standard, but most of the world is still developing.
The developed world is leagues better than the US, and by the developed world I mean Europe, East Asia, Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia and some South American countries. Many developing countries are also better overall when you consider the cost of essentials such as housing, food, healthcare and education. There is no denying that the US is regressing overall and has high inequality in human development, and no one has it worse than the indigenous people living in reservations.
We’re too poor and too far away from the capitol. It would take days for me to drive to Washington D.C. and if I miss that much work I’ll lose my home and other things. Then nothing will change and I’ll be homeless for a while :(
Sorry can’t afford a guillotine, too preoccupied with trying to get enough overtime to afford basic necessities to be starting a revolution nobody else will show up for 🤷♀️
American friends, what are you waiting for to deploy your guillotines?
Sure we are getting fucked all over the world but it seems that you are having it way worse…
