People are going to suffer under Republicans...

[kentuck]

And Democrats are not able to stop the pain. Trump and the Republicans are intent on making "Democrats" suffer. But it is not just the Democrats. The most needy people in this country are in red states and are more dependent on government assistance than those Democrats in the blue states.

But their cruelty knows no bounds. They laugh at the suffering of others. They think it is funny that some folks think it is a serious matter when they lose their jobs and health insurance. Everything is a joke to these people. They are not serious about their jobs.

They work for the American people. We pay their salaries. They simply do not care. And Republicans stay silent about the damage being done in their names. The cost is more than they can imagine.

Now, we are in a government shutdown and they pack up their stuff and go home on a paid vacation. It has gotten to the point where Democrats cannot stop the pain and suffering that is on the way. People are going to have to feel it. When they are sick and hungry, they can ask the Republicans for help. The innocents will be the ones to pay the price.

1. We the People are already suffering.....,

the terrorism, trying to take away freedom of speech, hell, take away freedom and civil rights all together, with no healthcare while the economy sucks, while the fifty rich lives unaffected.

Fuck the Republican Party.

3. Yes, the country is suffering already...

If not from hunger or lack of healthcare, then psychologically.

But, it has only begun. Everything is relative and I hate to think so, but real physical pain is on the way for many of the less fortunate in our country.

We are on the cusp of complete chaos, in my opinion.

5. That's the point

The country devolves into chaos then Trump swoops in with martial law. That pretty much is the Republican plan.

2. Cruelty is the point...

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.

4. The tech bros buying our government and media refer to us as "NPCs" (non-player characters)

In computer gaming, non-player characters are placed in a game by the programmers so the "real" players have someone to interact with.

Non-player characters are like objects in the game to be used by the player. Their fate is of no consequence to the player. Depending on the game, a player may treat them kindly, may help them, or the player may hurt them, kill them, steal from them, use them as cannon fodder in battle. It's all part of the game.

In other words, they see us as objects on a game board that can be manipulated to the player's advantage.
