  This pains me to say this, because I am on disability, but I imagine the will be a lot of angry people when Musk destroys social security. I honestly wonder how the media will spin payment diaruptions to keep the populace complacent

    Bullets. That’s how. Homeland Security is the SA. ICE is the SS. When people start to fight back, they will shoot.

      There’s 120 guns per 100 people in the US, a huge veteran population with combat training, most of them armed, multiple armed paramilitaries, militia groups, and a large number of people with military-grade munitions and equipment all over the nation. As the old quote goes, “behind every blade of grass, a gun”. It only takes about 3.5%. And there’s only a few million people in the government, and 300 million disgruntled individuals, many of whom know the exact tactics, exact procedures, cryptographic codes, techniques and practices of infantry, marines, special forces, SWAT, police, the DHS and ICE. Not to mention, disgruntled active-duty servicemembers on the inside - the “insider threat” they keep lecturing us about.

    In good conscience I can’t recommend visiting the site or lowering yourself to read their blubbering nonsense, but if you do happen to find yourself reviewing the perspectives over on that other site in r/Conservative, you’ll find them infighting, and doing mental gymnastics to make sense of it all. Praising him, while simultaneously being upset he wants a third term, or ashamed of his imperialist plans. The blind leading the blind, but apparently at least some of them are bothered by some of the unconstitutional actions.

    My money is on them suggesting people will get a bigger slice of the pie once the “fraud” is removed.
