What will be the straw that brings the camel to its knees?

[kentuck]

What will cause the American people, that are not part of the cult, to say, "No Mas !"?

The stock market seems to have gotten their attention. It is up and down so much it resembles Trump's signature.

Will there be such a rise in inflation that they will be shocked back to reality?

Do the store shelves have to be empty?

Do they have to lose their Social Security and Medicare?

Does someone they know have to be sent to a prison in El Salvador or Guantanamo?

How many people have to die before the camel falls down with its load of straw?

1. The whim of a madman.

2. Our economic situation is sliding down, but the day will come when it just falls off the cliff.

That'll be the sign that magats are actually getting what's coming at them.

That'll be the beginning.

3. Yep the month that social security checks aren't sent, seniors will scream bloody murder.

Repugs always ignore their own treachery until it hits them personally and hard on their wallets and then they are devastated, how could trumpolini do this to them??

4. This one, allegedly DTJ Jr is demonstrating just before he and Eric hop off to shoot some more endangered ...

5. First step, Vote No for the CR,

Oh wait, never mind.

I do not subscribe to the Schumer strategy to let them burn it down and then beat them in the nexxttttt election.

Giving in to the CR gave Congressional powers tp Musk/Krasnov.

Do town halls.

7. Defunding government will be mud that will splash on Democrats, too. There will be more ...

... and more Democrats turned out by angry inchoate voters electing more MAGAs and Libertarians to just "clean up Congress" and not the way we've allowed Republicans to do it and forced Democrats to go along with it.

Wanna stop CRs, then pass a budget. And that will take more Democrats to Congress and the White House.

6. Well, my 57 year old nephew, an N of one is starting to waver.

He was a diehard MAGA who intensely hated Biden, Harris, and Democrats.
Now he is scared he will lose his Medicaid.

He is eligible for Expanded Medicaid as he is disabled. and cannot work. If he
lived in most red states, he would not qualify as he has a 7 figure inheritance
but no income..

He said Trump told us he would protect Medicaid and he lied to us.
Somehow he never noticed that Trump has lied to us for nearly 2 decades.

8. Why is a person with a seven figure inheritance on the tax dollar?

9. I'm in his general age cohort, born mid to late 1960s.

We were entering high school when fucking Reagan got in. So many of my peers have been drinking the Kool Aid ever since. "Get government off our backs! ... Wait, wait! I didn't mean the parts of government that help me!"

10. I think the frog in a pot of water being brought to a boil

is the appropriate metaphor. We’ve endured all that & more, yet here we are, waiting for the Big One to spur toppling of the tyrant. By the time people realize it everywhere, our rights to peaceful assembly and protest may well be a distant memory.

[allegorical oracle]

11. Believe it will be a confluence of straws. The DOGE wrecking ball has resulted in tens of

of thousands of jobless workers. They all won't be eligible for unemployment comp. but prices will rise and they will miss payments or their savings will be exhausted;

The elders and handicapped will find government assistance, SS, SSI, Disability, is screwed up and payments will be missed, while others will lose their eligibility by mistake. Efforts to fix the errors will be frustrating;

Financially secure people will have income, but resent the unnecessary financial losses they suffered. Some will lose their homes.

Everything will cost everyone more money and some folks will be hungry or forced to do without their medication.

Crime will likely rise.
