"Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man and they are stupid." - President Dwight Eisenhower, Nov. 8, 1954

It takes an extraordinary level of naïveté to believe that a small group of billionaires are tirelessly working to protect the interests of the working class.

Seems like a good time to start learning how to speak Russian.

Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.
If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not "inalienable" and they're not "rights."
We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.
And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with.

Meme that reads: Hi, I do not need to meditate, I do not need to journal, I do not need to do yoga, what I need is for the people in charge to have a logical and humane response to the utter chaos happening right now, thank you.
