      Fascist leaders are good at manipulating stupid people. That does not mean smart fascists do not exist. Intelligence and morality are largely independent qualities, and some fascists are smart assholes, not morons tricked into it.

      Doesn’t apply in this specific case, but still: Assuming all fascists are stupid is dangerous; makes it easier for the smart ones to work against you.

      Fascists always have bad ideas.

      They aren’t bad ideas to fascists. You just have to understand that fascists consider you tools, not as people. All their ideas will be based on that.

        IDGAF about their brain-damaged moral relativism. Objective reality exists, and their ideas are bad (i.e. evil). End of.

        In this case it is a bad idea though. Wheelchair bound cripples and dementia patients aren’t going to farm a single crop no matter how many of them you throw into the fields. They’ll die there and the crops will wither away and feed nobody and make no tax revenue

      Did he object? Is that because he wants to send autistic to concentration camps “wellness farms”? Maybe he doesn’t want his plans messed with and was going to have autistic people pick crops…

    Ah yes because my cancer having ass won’t be physically wrecked trying to do work like that.

    Do these assholes even listen to themselves?

    EDIT: To those responding to me, this is less about me and more about the fact that they expect actual amounts of labor to be able to be done in this way. The job will be done badly, slowly, and inefficiently. The crop will still rot on the vine. Sure, it’s because they want to hurt people, but like all fascist idiots, they fail to see how they’re hurting themselves by reducing the ability for the wealthy to still actually turn a profit. Hard to profit off of a harvest that rots on the vine because your medicaid recipient workers literally cannot do the job fast enough.

    They honestly believe everybody on Medicaid is “cheating the system”. They’ve bought their own BS.

    This is exactly their plan. Make your existence so miserable and poor that you have to take any job available, even if it’s glorified slavery.

    RFK wants to open “wellness farms” where people with “mental health” and addiction issues can “raise their own food”.

      If these fucks are so hypercapitalist, why are they trying to copy China’s “Cultural Revolution” complete with famine? Is RFK secretly a pinko?

    do these people ever believe the shit they say? are they too fucking stupid or do they believe everybody else is that stupid? Seems like some shit only god fearing could say with some semblance of a straight face, which does require baseline ignorance

    blows my mind that real adults will put on makeup and an outfit then go on record saying something this profoundly fucking hilarious and out of touch

    Approaching these people is so strange because it could either be: pure evilness, propaganda at work, unadulterated ignorance, or some gross mix that won’t be respected all the same

    I’d like to believe the american people would revolt before they willingly walk themselves back into slavery, but then, y’know, gestures broadly at everything

      Yep…a lot of the people I serve who just so happen to have conditions he targets routinely receive services thanks to Medicaid. And no they are not cut out to work in fields.

    How about we replace her with a turnip. It will definitely do a better job.
