    Mocked? Only mocked?

    This is one of the most abhorrent statements ever made by a politician that wasn’t in a slavery or open racism era.

    They are testing the waters for this and worse. This needs to be spotlighted, shamed, and crushed.

      I mean, I guess they could have slammed her. But you have to work your way up to a slam. If slamming is your opening move, where do you go from there?

      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

    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.

      This is Trump’s admin calling you a “useless eater”. I recommend you get familiar with the term.

    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.

    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

    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
