We are watching economic genocide.

Trump, Republicans, and their billionaire supporters are knowingly sacrificing American lives for their political and economic interests.

We have to call this what it is. Genocide.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
The leak of the Trump Administration’s models showing they know cases will increase and deaths will mount show what we’ve all suspected: they’re knowingly and intentionally reopening states and businesses despite catastrophic consequences.

It’s human sacrifice for profit.
We cannot pretend like the Trump Administration or Republicans or their corporate base are acting in good faith. We know they are aware and actively misleading in an effort to push Americans into exposing themselves to a deadly pandemic.

It’s genocide. We cannot dance around it.

Okay.

With reports that Trump is pressuring the CDC to change their death count from the pandemic, we need to talk about the alternate reality Trump lives in, Norman Vincent Peale, and the perversion of Christianity that has destroyed our country.

What you need to understand is that when you listen to people in Trump's cult and it feels like they live in an alternate reality, it's only because they actually DO live in an alternate reality.

It's Trump's reality and he has used it and maintained it for his entire life.

Biographers of Steve Jobs referred to a "reality distortion field" that Jobs projected in which everyone around him had to accept his version of events or could be wrapped into it.

This is common with successful people, and Trump's distortion field is particularly strong.

Mike Flynn’s case is dropped and Paul Manafort is released to his home.

Criminal regimes love rubbing the people’s noses in their lawlessness and displays proving they’re above the law.

All of this is meant to normalize the vulgarness of their crimes and break our spirit.
You need to understand. This isn’t going to stop. Trump and his cronies will just continue to break laws and shred our institutions. They’ll destroy every one of them and haul their rivals in for show-trials. They’ve told you what they’re going to do. Listen to them.
Nothing is hidden.

When Trump and his cronies say they'll release their conspirators, they mean it.

When they talk about delaying or canceling elections, they mean it.

When they talk about eliminating term limits, they mean it.

Listen. To. Them. They don't hide any of it.

People need to realize the tax money the government's sunk into the military-industrial complex was extortion and part of a protection racket.

The government is there for us. It's there to do our business, not to serve as an organ for wealth distribution to the already wealthy.
We have been taught, through our biased, propagandist history and by social learning, that the government is its own entity removed from us and that it's necessary because otherwise we would be eradicated.

We have to remember the government is only sovereign because we allow it.
For the federal government to just do nothing to help during a pandemic, to horde our money for its own purposes while we starve and die, is a complete abdication of its responsibility to do our business.

This is a major thing and spectacle politics and militarism facilitated it
