View submission: Elon Musk can’t balance the budget
If Trump nuked social security he would have an actual riot that would make Jan 6 look like a Tupperware party.

Riots help fascists, not the other way round. Emergency powers, all that stuff.

Would he? As a gen-x Ive been told my whole life how I'll never get to cash in on SS. I see them raising the retirement age calculations which is the biggest pile of BS ever. I see that inflation has far, far outpaced what I'd get from SS, and that social security doesn't even cover basic costs of living. Occasionally I get a notice that shows how much I've contributed, which is all just money down the drain.
Fucking nuke it. I want to keep that money and spend or invest it myself.

You're adorable.
He tried to steal the election, violated nearly every American law, and he's had ZERO consequences and has just been elected to the world's most powerful office AGAIN.
Weapons grade copium. God I wish I could have some of what you've had, to still believe this after the last decade.

The Jan 6th riot got as far as it did because Trump prevented an effective and organized response to it.
If he nukes social security, he'll take all the Jan 6 rioters, pardon them, arm them to the teeth, turn them into a private paramilitary force, and have them massacre any rioters he doesn't like. Which sounds insane but Trump has allies arguing that some 100+ year old piece of legislation authorizing him to do that sort of thing. Insurrection Act, IIRC.
Trump would love to stomp on some rioters.
