Of course they won't like it. It's not an environment to put a beat down on protestors....or shoot them.

They didn't get into this to "serve" their fellow Americans other than to beat some of them up.

I won't bother with looking it up but I'm sure the vast majority of people in Kansas (fairly typical red state) receiving forms of welfare such as snap, medicaid, free school lunches, EITC, etc.....are WHITE.

Cutting those programs mostly hurt white people. Not to mention it indirectly hurts white business owners when poor people have less to spend in their community.

Racists, I imagine, are fine with that so long as they're told blacks are also harmed. Racists are racists first and probably don't care about the collateral damage.

"It's kind of pure the way Republicans love racism more than they love money."

well said

"Are you nuts?
Republicans hate Black Americans receiving welfare."

But they still authorize it.

Republicans control how many state houses? Governor's mansions?

Quite a few........go look at how they distribute funds to welfare, medicaid, etc......

they still hand it out.

Republican voters are so stupid and blind they don't even realize that.

The irony is that republicans at the federal and state level approve bills that includes black people getting welfare.

At least it was the truth......LOL

Thanks. Sorry....I could have done that. That's kind of what I thought it was.

It's a signal of what's coming.............thanks for sharing.

surprise, there are lot of folks in the Middle East and Asia....and Europe who aren't thrilled with Iran's nuclear weapons program.

-Morgan Stanley recently warned default rates in private credit direct lending could surge to 8%

what is "private credit direct lending"? what kind of a loan is that?

"And I can definitely understand why whites having to compete against everyone else equally, having their privilage taken away, is seen by many as an attack. Especially by those who aren't actually very competitive, who do not have much to offer, whose pretty much only point in their favor 20 years ago would have been the fact they were white. Now they have nothing. Incels sitting in their parents' basement feeling like the victim."

Very interesting challenge to tackle there. How does a politician rally up that block of voters? The white incels sitting in their parents' basement.

That's actually a fairly big group. As you stated, that group of average or below average white kids would still survive in the past, even thrive in the job market. Not so anymore.

Who are they mad at? Who do they blame? certainly not themselves.....so it's going to be the folks who have outworked them. This group of lazy white losers are ripe for someone to come along, victimize them, and tell them what they want to hear.

it's obvious that's what happened and where Trump saw that opportunity.

No republican is going to let a group of voters like that stay stagnant if it's possible to mobilize them.

"a "bi-partisan" group of do nothings in Congress suggesting retirement age be raised to 70 to 75."

So, your solution is to complain about the status, and then demonize any effort to address the problem.

This is why there are no solutions (not there really has to be).

I've been hearing my entire life that SS is on the brink of collapse.

99% of the people chanting that are completely clueless, regardless of what side of the aisle they're on.

I'm reasonable....but here on the DR, that's code for sticking my head in the sand pretending the place isn't on fire.

I think SS has been the easiest ginned up calamity to be used to keep folks right where they are on the correct side of the fence, politically speaking.

It's sad, really....that almost all Americans allow themselves to be herded like cattle on this issue.
