(669 posts)Let's see. First decrease our Social Security checks so we can't live on them. It's not like anyone who depends on social security is getting rich, after all.
Second, let's fiddle with Medicare so our benefits decrease and our costs for it go up. The cost of healthcare is outrageous in this country.
Now we have seniors who can't make ends meet and who can't afford increased healthcare costs. If we get sick, maybe the government will get lucky and we will die. Medicaid reductions will also lead to poor people getting sick; maybe they will die too. They are among the groups of "useless" people, according to Uncle Sam. These four groups are the immigrants, the homeless, the poor, and the Seniors.
But wait! There is a fifth group, and is women. What's that I read about some fool in the government advocating for taking away women's right to vote? Do I think that is a bunch of hooey? Not after Roe v. Wade was struck down. I don't put anything past these creatures. The Supreme Court is no better than the rest of them.
The way the ICE "agents" act, they are in training to come after various targeted groups. Those ICE agents are terrorists. When they get rid of the immigrants in their holding cages, there will be room for next group to be stashed.
We, as citizens, must assume the worst and prepare for it in an organized manner. We must defend ourselves. Ain't nobody else gonna do it.
I am appalled at the way immigrants are getting treated. Some US citizens and permanent residents are getting snatched away even though that is illegal. And people who are awaiting a decision on whether they can stay here are being deported, and often to countries which are not their own. Families must be frantic and feeling terrorized. Some people have died. ICE just keeps on coming.
My mother was a naturalized citizen and my aunt was a permanent resident. I'm glad they are both dead, which I wasn't until now.
I may seem somewhat hysterical, but I am not. I am calm, and just thinking about preparing for the worst. It's kinda hard to hope for the best at this point.
Edited to add: I meant to say there are other disadvantaged groups: disabled people and, from what I can tell, anyone who does not fit the Rethug mold, including race and religious beliefs. That Monster is going to attack voting rights and change the way the Census is taken. They want to make women powerless.
I don't know. Maybe I am full of it.
