American Taliban - what I expect from these billionaire pricks

Next tax bill - passed by MAGAt House, Senate, Trump

Tax childless women at a higher rate
Tax unmarried women at a higher rate
Offer tax cuts or credits to employers to force women out of the workplace and hire more men instead.
Privatize Medicare, shut down Medicare.gov
Gut social security

Supreme Court and other American Taliban priorities:
End no-fault divorce
Abortion ban via Comstock (won’t apply to porn or viagra)
Federal tracking of women’s menstruation, pregnancy and travel
Deny women credit, property ownership, or sole ownership of financial accounts
Legalize rape and make child marriage and child labor fully legal
Overturn the 19th amendment
Deny federal funding or federal grants to any school or college which has gender studies, supports LGBTQ community, or DEI efforts.
Appoint 2-3 more USSC justices with Alito, Thomas mindsets, if those two retire, replacing them with 30-something’s
Shut down NOAA, NWS, PBS
Fire 20-50,000 civil servants and replace them with Trump loyalists
Gut regulatory agencies, IRS, FDA, EPA, CDC, HHS, FCC, Fed Reserve and defund them. Fire most or all civil servant experts in those agencies so that they cannot perform their regulatory duties or do anything to protect the American people.
Reverse Biden’s infrastructure bill, Chips & Science Act, Environmental protections and clean energy development
Shut down or take control of all media and websites such that they only report news approved by the American Taliban.

Etc.

ALL THIS because the price of eggs went up or some woman somewhere that nobody knows might get an abortion that somebody else disapproves of or disagrees with. Oh. And because there are LGBTQ people.

The list sounds pretty much like what all the ex military Republicans have been wanting for the 30 yrs I worked with them.

And you know what? Fine. Let it be this way. I'm ready to die to defend our rights and democracy.
