Hugely disappointing to see Andy Yen (Proton CEO) tout the Republican Party as the ones “standing up for the little guys” 🤢

@aureliuspublius including a fact at the end of a tweet does not make the entire tweet factually right, no

Aurelius Publius

@jonah no that's not what makes it factually right. It's that he's right also about the Dem and Rep parties. Anyone should be able to see that and judging by the election results most do.

@aureliuspublius @jonah Yes the good cop is now the bad cop and vice versa. You are very smart

@SallyStrange @jonah policies and platforms change, it happens believe it or not. GOP is a totally different party than before Trump and the Democrats are unrecognizable from less than a generation ago.

@aureliuspublius @SallyStrange @jonah Identify which parts of the Project 2025 gameplan are going to be good for "the little guys".
Is it the deregulation of would-be monopolies?
The total destruction of the educational system?
Is it the insertion of politician's opinions into common medical scenarios?
Is it the plan to drive up the cost of living across the board with tariffs?
The plan to deregulate all pollution?
The elimination of safety standards?

You're wrong.

@aureliuspublius @jonah neither set of billionaire puppets are going to fuck you

@SallyStrange @jonah same to you, I guess? I don't see why you need to get angry over the most common differences of opinion people have nowadays. There are legitimate concerns fueling both sides, why is it so hard to see that?

@aureliuspublius@mastodon.social
Man, idk, maybe because they've stated a clear policy intent to run a genocide against people like me? Fucking lol. You know sucking up won't save you, right?
@SallyStrange @jonah

@dymaxion @SallyStrange @jonah agreed, but please understand that the Democrats ran on “nobody is safe until everyone is safe” then the moment they won they ran a full on genocide campaign against people like me.

Medically vulnerable people are the largest marginalized group in America and both the parties have been trying to genocide us for five years now. After watching the Dems betray the largest marginalized group in America wasn’t even shocking that they turned their back on trans people? If they could give the finger to all of us, hurting a tiny portion of the population would be nothing to them.

@SallyStrange Oh, they are, but not in a consensual way. And @aureliuspublius won't like it at all.

@jonah

It's taking all of my willpower to not respond to this troll. O_O

CC: @SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe @jonah@neat.computer

@pkw @wonka lol you good

Yeah I thought about adding an edit to distinguish between the good vs bad fucking, but y'all knew what I meant

@SallyStrange @aureliuspublius @jonah unfortunately that’s exactly what they’re going to do but not in the fun way you mean, and it won’t matter that it’s not consensual.

@SallyStrange @aureliuspublius @jonah Oh, they will fuck him. Repeatedly. At length. With a spiked, rusty, cast-iron dildo.

That's what techbrodudes do.

@jdst258 @SallyStrange @jonah working class people approve of this, celebrate this, and voted for this. You don't seem to be coping well with reality

@aureliuspublius @SallyStrange @jonah I'm coping fine with reality. You don't seem to be able to discern between political rhetoric and the reality, which is that the GOP is openly anti-worker

@jdst258 @SallyStrange @jonah This is right after giving Soros the medal of Freedom. I don't have to prove the Rs are good, they aren't. Just that they're better than the D's, which is mind-numbingly self evident.

You're worried about who Trump puts on his cabinet while Biden took workers' hard earned money and sent it to Ukraine and Israel. Make it make sense.

@aureliuspublius @SallyStrange @jonah A lot of money and effort are expended obfuscating the class dynamics in U.S. elections. We'll see if they'll be better (they won't, because they represent the most reactionary sections of U.S. capital).

@SallyStrange @aureliuspublius @jonah I wish, unfortunately now we just have two bad cops. There are no good cops, just too bad ones

@jonah @aureliuspublius that would be why the republicans gave huge tax breaks to billionaires, and why musk is so heavily involved with the incoming administration.

@sarlalian @jonah the rich are quite literally the only ones that pay taxes in the US when you include transfers. Any tax cut will only affect the rich tbh

@jonah @aureliuspublius depends on the definition of rich. Those making 150-500k pay most of the taxes, but those in the top 0.1% pay very little and corporations also pay very little.

@aureliuspublius @jonah no no see that’s the problem just because the Dems belong to the mega corporations doesn’t mean the Republicans fight for the people.

This just means the two capitalist parties are for the mega corporations and against the people.

@aureliuspublius nothing says standing up to big tech like throwing yourself a party funded by amazon, meta, google, and apple
