Dear Americans:
Some of you still have a few brain cells to rub together. I’m happy to see that.
But some of you are COLOSSALLY DUMB.
I mean, you can blame your lack of knowledge on the media you consume, but at some point you have to take responsibility.
The whole internet is RIGHT THERE. You can search for accurate information.
Use the critical thinking skills that set us higher vertebrates apart.
To make it easier for you, here are some facts:
Russia invaded Ukraine. No one disputed that until Trump started using Russian talking points. You know what would end the war? Russia can get the F out of someone else’s country.
Our allies support Zelenskyy. Russia doesn’t, obvi. But RUSSIA is not our ally in this conflict. Or wasn’t.
Trump/Vance are not the good guys on the world stage. They also are not the good guys at home for the 75 million Americans who did not vote for them. Also, please remember why Trump was impeached the first time.
The U.S. reneged on a deal. We made promises. We were supposed to be an ally to Ukraine and to Europe.
The budget bill the Republican-controlled House just passed 217-215 will add $5 trillion to the deficit. It will require cuts to programs such as Medicaid yet the top tier of earners and corporations make out like bandits. Why do y’all ever put Republicans in charge? They screw the economy every time.
These two images represent what’s happening with Trump/Musk/DOGE:
Musk does not know what he is doing.
Many people are pissed at what’s happening — people on the right and the left. They don’t like Musk. They aren’t happy with what Trump/Vance did to Zelenskyy. They are going to any town halls that reps are having, and they are voicing their displeasure. The Republican response? Stop going. Can you believe it? They are also saying that the people attending are either Democrats or are paid/bussed in by the DNC. Three thoughts: (1) Probably not. I saw one town hall video where Kansas Sen. Marshall walked out immediately after a man said, “I’m not a Democrat, but I’m worried about the veterans.” (2) Democrats are constituents too. I’ve been calling my reps every three or so days for the last couple of weeks. (3) I don’t care. The reps still need to answer questions publicly. They need to stop hiding behind social media accounts and their PR people.
Tariffs are paid by consumers. Trump is lying or fundamentally mistaken when he says other countries will pay.
Trump is a pathological liar. For example, his approval ratings are in the toilet, unlike what he tells everyone. The only president who had lower ratings was him in his first term.
When I write posts like this, I always think, “This time. This time, it will work. This time, people will see reason: I will have found the right combination of images, links and text.”
But then I have interactions with those of you like this:
And I see that there is genuinely no hope for some of you.
If I were in a club bathroom with America, I’d say, “Girl, you’re in trouble.”
WAKE UP.
At least stop existing on a diet of whatever FOX, the former Twitter, Facebook, your church, etc., feeds you.
Kthxbyeeee,
Beth
