20. We should NEVER make nice to the magats

Jan 2025

Who are attempting to destroy the very fabric of our democracy. They long to cause the deaths and suffering of millions of Americans by getting rid of the already tattered social safety net in order to give deserving millionaires and billionaires a tax cut. It seems to me that my own days are numbered because I'm disabled and depend on a housing voucher along with a small social security check to get by. If the muskrat and his adoring maga fans get their way I'll be out on the street along with my poor sweet fur babies (my faithful catahoula hound and my two beautiful orange tiger striped kitties). None of us would survive that.

I am delighted to go low.
