I would figure out another source of income and don’t worry about voting blocks. All elections from here on out will only be for show just like other dictatorships.

Figure out another source of income!?!? I’m thankful I am still able to do that and I am able to squirrel away every bit of it. But what about the people who are not, the physically/mentally challenged or people that are so old no company would hire them. What other source of income do you expect them to obtain?

It is OUR money that we had taken from our hard-earned pay every week of our adult lives!!

That was a nonsensical answer. That’s our money. Every single American that has worked and paid taxes or are still working and paying taxes. My sister and her husband are on the verge of being able to collect. They are fuming.

What can I tell you? Boomers and Latinos and Arabs voted against the woman. Where were they all at election time. I mean being the last legitimate election and all. They all thought project 2025 was a joke🤣. Welcome to reality.

Your capitulation is disappointing. They are only people and there are more of us than them. Don't give up so easily. And I will never give up what I paid into in Social Security.

No, they are not "only people." They are people with unfathomable amounts of money and power who are above the law, have the Supreme Court on speed dial, and can control entire countries. Doesn't matter how many of "us" there are. It only took 6 (un)Justices to destroy women's right to bodily autonomy. It's the power that counts, and that power can be bought.

😂 I’m not capitulating. But let me know when you figure out how to turn out the lights at Fox News. How do you fix decades of poor education and Qanon? There’s no fixing stupid and stupid voted for this . They were warned.

And I am neither Latino or Arab, but I am a boomer who never watches fox - not anyone’s cult member - and did not vote for this regime. So maybe you are right, therein lies the problem. And what better way to help your fellow citizens than to subscribe to MTN and gift a sub to one of the ill-informed you like to mock.

He’s an idiot. Don’t give him any attention. I just blocked him. I didn’t vote for this either, I voted for Harris, but I’m on SSDI and worked 35 years and we’re here having a discussion and he comes and says to go and find another source of income.

We want our SS and our country back.

I like to mock? You make a lot of assumptions. I am Latino and voted for Kamala. It makes me sad they’re all so stupid but giving them a MT sub won’t do it. They don’t even watch the free stuff.

Whatever makes you happy.

I will agree there are far too many stupid (or lazy might be a better definition) people out there. They either voted MAGA or not at all. They couldn’t be bothered to educate themselves. I see them every day. But someone like you could push (or nudge) them into understanding what is coming. They’re the same people w/o empathy who scream only if it affects them.

Maybe if people like you and I try to help them see the truth, it won’t be too late to right this ship.

Are you kidding me? I'm disabled, unable to work. How am I supposed to "figure out another source of income"?!?!?!? I lose SSDI and I'm homeless.

There’s got to be another way to feel you besides the LIKE heart. It implies I like your situation. I DO NOT like, but I understand your pain and am doing all I can to push back against these cruel assholes currently running our country.

Stay strong! Ty Meidas Mighty and the Meisalas bros.

"Figure out another source of income"? Are you serious? What is someone who is 96 and disabled going to do? Work at McDonald's alongside Trumpty Dumpty?

Dude, I'm in my seventies and live in a rural area. I can't drive at night anymore. You don't seem to understand the position of senior citizens who have contributed to social security for 40+ years and retired because they had to. Plus, the job market is about to be flooded with fired federal employees. Who's going to hire us? Show a little understanding of the experience of others.
