Feb 7

The MAGATs are celebrating the removal of thousands of ‘useless bureaucrats’ and the undocumented because, for the most part, it’s not them. It won’t be them until the farms start going under, food prices go up, Medicaid is killed, food stamps go anway, etc. Then they’ll find out, and it won’t be pretty. I expect that there will be huge protests all over the country by the summer.
