But 30% of voting age Americans would still vote for him because he’s arresting brown people they don’t know.
The joke is that costs haven’t even truly gone up from his taxes yet. Just wait until after the midterms when the legislation they passed is scheduled to take effect.

I made peace with my country Though I never could believe Somebody else’s struggle Is the reason that I flee
Can you carry more If you leave me back? What’s left to take? Who’s lives come last?
– Excerpts from “Reverend” by Greensky Bluegrass
These lines from a brand new bluegrass song of all things have been living rent free in my mind. I’m not particularly oppressed, but witnessing the oppression of others has me wanting to leave. Once we run off all the immigrants, and all the people like me leave, will the people who vote for fascism and hatred in this country be able to keep it all from falling apart?
You missed my point, but yes. I am well aware it is a privilege and that many cannot leave. That said, the barrier isn’t as high as you might think. My childhood friend is a Florida school teacher. Low pay , high debt and bankrupt twice. She’s leaving at the end of the year and already has a job lined up. My cousin with a government job is taking a position in Germany. The middle class can leave fairly easily.
Folk music is one of the places where the people are. Even the old religious ones are good, like “One Drop Of Water” which does talk about god but mostly makes fun of a selfish, piece of shit rich guy who couldn’t make it into heaven because he worhsipped his money.
You can of course also find those messages in a lot of the really good rap and hip hop. Tribe Called Quest was talkin’ some real shit.

The average American is so fucked.
I made peace with my country
Though I never could believe
Somebody else’s struggle
Is the reason that I flee
Can you carry more
If you leave me back?
What’s left to take?
Who’s lives come last?

Most people can’t afford to leave. Enjoy the privilege.

Ya but can the 10% that are not worried be eaten by the remaining 90%?
