McMorrow: What Trump has done is weaponize us against each other, when everybody needs hospitals, good schools, and health care. It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.
We are NOT the wealthiest county. We have a dozen people who are the wealthiest. Big difference.
Reporting from McCall, ID, Fourth of July celebration, where a group of likely drunk boaters yelled “f— the Jews” several times; loud enough to be heard over fireworks. No one reacted, bc in Trump’s America, that’s now acceptable. All decent US people: Work daily to reverse course, while we can.
You guys always say you're the wealthiest country in the world, but you're NOT! You're plagued by the wealthiest vermin on the planet who do fuck-all for regular people, other than exploit them and throw money at grubby fuckers to make sure they make laws to benefit THEM!!
brown is not the enemy. bsky.app/profile/egua...
Sorry, I'm NEVER forgiving Trump voters. NEVER. I will go to my grave never forgiving my family members who voted for Trump.
Yep. But don't tell Republicans that, they would drink bleach if Trump told them to and then BLAME YOU FOR IT.
And they did that during Covid. The large animal laxative was my fave. They gulped it right down. Scared of a vax, but will do that.
As long as they drink the bleach, I don't care who they blame after drinking. drink drink drink
Has the fighting already started?
💯
The wealthiest country in the world is in debt up to and way past their eyeballs.
If we have $ for ICE, then we have money for universal healthcare. Such bullshit that we don’t. The USA is a very rich country. There is no excuse.
💯
Trump is trying to help the people who don't need help at the expense of the people who do need help. 🤔
And primary care providers, nurses, nursing homes, etc
WE aren’t fighting each other. Democrats fought for decades to get care for everyone. It’s only republicans who vote to fuck over their fellow Americans.
Sorry, not in the mood right now to invite anyone for a beer, and especially not anyone supporting the MAGA cult, while I’m trying to figure out what the future for my disabled child will look like in this country.
And #LisaMurkowski is the defining example of this: she got hers for Alaska and the hell with the rest of us
It's the UNITED States. Not Red vs Blue. Not Black vs White. Not Gay vs Straight. We don't have kings and we kill Nazis.
May the odds be ever in our favor. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BypJ...
Mc Morrow Good 1st Point BUT, Suggestion is definitely trite! Reasons are not on the side of a country that likes being red or blue SINCE ever Hey! Go invite your neighbor citizens at DJT rallys Get to know them! Being tired does not mean becoming delusional Maybe stop lecturing on lecturing?
It’s pure sadism. Tying work to healthcare is a proven policy failure- so why do it again? Sickening our labor force while deporting is just sadistic- there is no benefit at all- the net from “cuts” will once again be lost in the exorbitant ER costs, lost productivity, and inflation.
💯🎯 The old trick of turning us against each other when we should be teaming up and making it Poor vs Rich. That’s the real battle we have to fight worldwide. Only then, will we win.
Right on
THIS!!!
Welcome to MI
The people imposing artificial scarcity on us, whether it be for their personal material advantage or the sick sadistic dopamine hit they obtain from cruel policies that harm them too, are all enemies of the people. The latter are no less legitimate a threat to open society than the former
Trump goes along with that. But Right Wing propaganda media has been doing it for decades. And now they constitute most of media. 40% of households watch Sinclair TV alone. Then there's Fox & RWng radio, newspapers, social media, podcasts, youtubes etc. upine.medium.com/time-to-solv...
It’s exactly the way he did with his own employees in his companies too, he got them to all compete with each other. He loves the drama and chaos. He is a sociopath
🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯💯. He wants the hunger games or the running man!
He sure does!
THIS
Not the wealthiest country in the world at all! In debt past your eyeballs! Another 3.5 trillion added thanks to the gump and his lackeys! China now has less debt and more wealth than America. Trump will bankrupt you.
You are right we all need these things. I'd like to think we all want everyone to have these things. But... I guess it is more important for some people to hate than it is to be human.
This is exactly right: distract the masses with basic survival
It always blows my mind that America doesn't have universal healthcare. Every other major country does. Honestly that is on par with say... not having public schools, or only having private firefighters. It is a greed fueled cruelty that only America would inflict on its citizens.
As if our enemies were calling the shots because they are. Intentionally. Treasonously. Trump hates us and says it out loud.

Remember when a brilliant black man and a savvy old white man gave 30 million Americans (myself included) affordable healthcare … Republicans lost their minds and souls youtu.be/SBBu5Fz4moc?...
Evil. They want it all, but none for us.
Yeah, but when someone's basic need is a bigger yacht, Ya sorta have to fight.
10000000% This dynamic is shockingly absurd as it is completely preventable if we refused to accept and idolize billionaires as “earning their wealth.” They do it by paying their employees wages so low the rest of the country has been subsidizing their health care & food, but even that’s cancelled!
Katie Phang blocked me @ the other place for criticizing Preet Bharara as a “failure” for not ever prosecuting tЯ☭mp when she had Preet Failure Bharara on her stupid podcast.
28 rural hospitals to close in CA, including my town. I'll be over an hour away from the nearest hospital thanks to this bs bill. Lots of anti vax nurses gonna get fired. Gonna be funny when they complain about losing their jobs. Won't happen til after the midterms, most will forget by then.
This was Poutine's master plan, trump was just his foot soldier. That's why they were on the phone when the bill passed!
But that’s the literal basis of our culture.
Well said. I think that was a part of what Steve Bannon was angling for; divide and conquer.
I don’t want to lecture or hear left wingers criticizing others for linguistic infractions; but McMorrow’s thought that listening to a Trumper go off w/o challenging their misinformation as they spread nonsense like “J6-ers were political prisoners” will help bridge the chasm is IMO wrong.
1) The way back to political power is bleeding away a chunk of those who voted for #Trump but are NOT diehard MAGA types who have given themselves over to the sadistic pleasures of reveling in the weaponization of government against immigrants, LGBTQ etc #USPolitics
I struggle to grasp the mild Dump voter. I’m not disagreeing w/ your point, but acknowledging an area in which I have very low visibility. Also, I think the types you describe are Reaganites; he promoted viewing govt & taxes as evil, & that view doesn’t sync w/ my ideas for improving American life.
The Trump voters most likely to be persuadable are those who switched from Obama to Trump - a mind-boggling, yet significant, number. Most are primarily focused on economic issues, and many have a distaste for Trump's antics and cruelty. #USPolitics
I think she's awesome sauce.
This sounded good until she said just go out for a beer. What? These maga people have moral and ethical flaws that are really tough to work around.
Absolutely spot on. When we take care of each other, that when we are GREAT!
This is trump: the great divider.
So fucking silly.
They are trying to divide and conquer our nation. DIVIDED WE FALL.
I was thinking we need a daily protest calendar. Something specific everyday- a sick in, sending postcards, getting dry ice delivered, wearing certain colors/slogans, blocking streets, flash mobs, strikes. We really need to stick it to them. It's been too easy. We need to unite.
We must retaliate And let those who voted for this And their leaders Let them know how and when
Wealthiest ? The U.S. is the most morally bankrupt Fing country in the world!! Can’t even say “free” world because the U.S. is a full on facist state run by a mentally ill dictator!!
True but think they meant money wise
thanks Canada, that's super helpful. especially for us here in California who are being hunted and fighting for our lives. keep the kindness and support coming for those of us who have never voted republican in our lives. elbows up!
We are "The Hunger Games."
Trumptards have turned the US into the Hunger Games!🤬
Hes just the tool for the thug Oligarchy, punks like Bezos, Murdoch, and all the rest to get what they want, damning everyone else to penury and death.
📌
That’s my future Senator speaking the truth.
Mallory McMorrow is Pure Michigan
The US is not the wealthiest - it's a lie. You have no Universal healthcare, no Minimum wage (non slavery), you have no Parental leave, No sick days etc - a country's GDP is not a sign of wealth when it's citizens are too poor to eat, get sick, and are tied to a job and abuse because of health!
We need to be talking more about indexes which measure #SocialMobility rather than a simplistic devotion to GDP The Global Social Mobility index is a far better metric and our “greatest country in the world” is ranked an unimpressive 27th #USPolitics #Economics en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_...
That was the point, we fight each other and not them. Not a new tactic for tyranny
Congress has allowed it and we should be holding them accountable now. Protest them just like we protest him. We can’t them wash it away like they do everything else. It’s time for the Democrats in Congress to let the world know
"American Dream"... hahahaha! Good one!
When are we going to get to the point, this is mostly on Stephen Goebbels Miller and Psychopath Vought. Trump is their demented mouthpiece. They hide in the shadows when they should be dragged out into the open.
Yup
Yessssss 🙌🏼 thank you for saying this
When a tiny 1% of the citizens in this country own over 60% of the money and resources, what little that remains turns into a conflict with others. A democracy cannot maintain its freedom this way especially when the 1% has half the citizens believing that immigrants are to blame.
Trump wants us to just die
TAX. THE. BILLIONAIRES.
That is what wealthy landowners have always done. Divide and conquer the poor. Doesn’t make it any less infuriating.
💯
bsky.app/profile/thex...
Love her. Hoping she wins the Senate seat.
Me too.
#Vote out the #GOPcriminals at #midterms! And #47felon impeached. #3xcharm
☝️This is how a wealthy minority which includes the ruling class, stays in power.
Don't forget in rural communities where they only have one grocery store or the Mom & Pop stores in the areas called food deserts, that will close due to SNAP cuts.
I just want to fight Trump and all the MAGA assholes. I want to share everything with everyone else. Give me a target. Let go of my chain.
Billionaires don’t care. When will people wake up
You need to quit saying that. Think of them as zombies. They are NOT going to wake up. It’s on us now to find the way. Don’t even count on them, ever. Waste of time.
You've missed the point. Trump cuts the US population into 2. 1 half (wealthy million-plus) and 1 of poverty and working class. He feeds group 1 at the expense of group 2. Group 1 holds all the keys. Group 2 listen to key-holders.
Actually, this is capitalism's model. Trump is just Cinderella for capitalism's glass slipper.
If we survive, we have to change our horrible electoral college system.
💯
Neighbors don't know Neighbors anymore and they could care less...sad isn't it
ain't Trump, it's the entire far right, ever since Gingrich. liberals say "ohh you leftists and your identity politics loudly pushing for LGBTQ rights and real black history, you are to blame" but we would have ended up here regardless. It was the ACA that got the Tea Party rolling.
It was decades of showing up at local elections, gaining state houses, mapping out Republican congressional seats. they played the long game Trump was unexpected, they wanted a Mike Pence type. They're using his cult of personality as best as they can, but once he's gone they're gonna keep going.
there are more houses than people, more food than we could eat, and so many clothes they clog thrift shops. scarcity is caused by capitalism and fixed with socialism
So you think fascism is so much better?
do you think totally off point replies are better? fascism is a form of capitalism.
While the rich are eating cake, the working class is fighting for scraps!
Don't worry they set up games where the poor can compete for the scraps from their imperial masters' tables. It's more dystopian than Hunger Games, more Imperial Rome.
Full video from Katie Phang’s YouTube channel here: youtu.be/Z0PSkJrfLOQ
As long as he cand they can scream about "drag queens" and immigrants nothing will change.
they will find another "other" once they exhaust those
May it be so
The New American Dream ...l like it Mallory!💙
Mom is 83, goes to lunch monthly with 5 high school friends, one of whom succumbed to the FOX/MAGA/FACEBOOK abyss. "Trudy, you have known us for over 50 years. Do you believe us or what you see on Facebook and Fox?" It's sad and too much like Twilight Zone or Invasion of the Body Snatches.
My mom stopped talking to the one brother who fell for it. She just can't handle his stupidity at this point. Watching someone be that gullible is beyond frustrating.
I’ve compared it to Invasion of the Body Snatchers for years. It’s as though the compassionate person who was at one time capable of critical thought has been fully replaced by a hate-fueled, incurious dummy.
glad that she still has her friends but I can tell you there are many more in her age group - also aging but also fact checking and standing firm to their principles, morals, and beliefs.
There's no coming back. Unfortunately.
I am afraid it is too late. They already have the upper hand with this abomination of a bill passing and about to be signed by the felon in chief, I fear our chances have just got decimated.
Divide and conquer. The tried and true path to success.
We Proles need to continue to stick together!
Any other 1st world democracy..there'd be blood on the streets. U.S is weak..drop the signs and use your 2nd amendment
It's not just felon Trump. It's the Republican cult
I’m not in MI but I’ll campaign for her.
But it’s the perfect plan. Put us against one another with social issues and we won’t have to time to go after them. Divide and conquer. It was so easy.
Tell that to the MAGAts! They’re the ones who started this
Especially when the rest of the civilized world has universal healthcare.
My state senator and my candidate for US senator. Smart, pragmatic, compelling
But this is what the regime wants. He is President Snow and we are in the Hunger Games.
I have zero interest in having a beer with MAGA. I have tried to tolerate them and they are not capable of treating people with respect.
They are always in attack mode. There's no reasoning with them.
1) The way back to political power is bleeding away a chunk of those who voted for #Trump but are NOT diehard MAGA types who have given themselves over to the sadistic pleasures of reveling in the weaponization of government against immigrants, LGBTQ etc #USPolitics
Is there a 2)?
My bad I should linked the thread bsky.app/profile/nutt...
They've been working at finding the cracks and using whatever pressure they can concoct to create fissures in this democratic republic.
It's too late for that because all these republicans should suffer people like me who will suffer, but i did not vote for this they did they were told this was going to happen. Time to take our country back from hitler courts can't save us. SCOTUS is in his pocket
Dispicable!
Listen, I sure hope the Reps have laws ready to go now to fx this shit. And to redirect all funds back to where they originally funded it. Ready and waiting on the day he drops dead or gets out voted.
I had s boss tell me years ago that is what they do to take our benefits away (at the time I was serving 20 in the USAF.) They pit us against each other by saying stuff like why should married couples get housing but singles are stuck in the dorm eating in the chow hall. 🫡🇺🇸🇺🇦🇨🇦🏴☠️
That's a really hard pill to swallow people voting against their own interest to elevate billionaires that couldn't give a shit about them.
Scarcity is commoditzed. Read all about it here: The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad... book by Alastair Smith share.google/jGVf6ixMJeG5...
I have read the big ugly bill (it is online and you can access it), and IMHO there will be many winners and many losers and it will absolutely keep us battling against each other, as we see these winning and losing outcomes.
She seems nice, but she's not ready for this battle. We don't need anymore Nancy Pelosis or Chuck Schumers, or Hakeem Jeffries.
They allowed themselves to be weaponized... I mean those idiots that wear those red MAGA hats and T-shirts.
We are only developed country in the world that doesn’t have national healthcare! The only one!
We won't be the richest country in the world soon. Thanks, MAGAS.
We need to focus on building more community, we are a selfish and entitled country
Republicans seem to believe "hunger games" and "the purge" are documentaries, not fiction.
Class warfare the 99% versus the 1%
You mean divide & rule - the same thing that’s been done to the global south for centuries ?
yeah Trump told us what the proble was in 2016. He said the system is rigged, they all want money and I know best because I have paid them to get what I want myself. We can't get what we all want and need because the billionaire class bought our government out from under us all. Gotta get em out!
Say No to Trump's version of The Hunger Games. Act up. En masse. Now.
Truth be said, the leaders are failing our nation
Our name should be changed to Divided States of America.
the country is wealthy not most of the people of this country
Unemployed Doctors making minimum Wage... lol slowly every clinic, Service, and Hospital outside a 20 mile radius from a university or major City.... GONE! Rural Highlife is Gone! Only the occasional Farm-Service and Gas Station...
Classic oligarch tactic. Read Evan Osmos latest book.
She’s so great.
He hasn't weaponization us against each other- yet. He has started a civil war in CA. So far his victims are protesting and rallying against him but that's not weaponization compared to 5,000 Marines and thousands of Gestapo enforces. The People aren't weaponized- yet.
Wonder when/how they’ll take away us being able to communicate just like this? Cancel everything but the phone part? It’s gonna happen. We need to act much faster. They are way ahead.
Was just discussing this with my widowed, older sisters (I am 75 yr🤣) Instead of of straightforward censorship, they discussed their access to communications, via the Internet, is threatened by the escalating costs of the Internet.
Unfortunately, I for one have NO desire to talk to ooorrr have a beer with the loathsome heinous individuals who support what this lawless administration is doing to this country. What it has done will affect them or their loved ones eventually but TL for the rest of us. FUCK THEM.
Sounds like it is time to behead the self installed king
Unfortunately, McMorrow doesn't have a stance on the genocide in Gaza, and she's a recipient of AIPAC bribery funds. She also doesn't have a stance on healthcare for all.
The "invite people for a beer and don't lecture" is the tell for the magical realism fantasy.
We are not the wealthiest country in the world. We are the country with the most wealthiest corrupt shitbags running it. That’s all.
What some people don’t understand the worst of this bill is not going to kick in until after 2026 because the Republican Party thinks people are too stupid to understand and will reelect them anyway let’s hope not 
I understand that's how he ran his businesses, encouraging competition among his employees rather than teamwork.
Had a boss like that once. Enjoyed setting people off against each other, and I truly don't believe it was because he thought they'd be more productive. It just meant his role was more protected.
My former mother-IL enjoyed doing that to everyone around her. She was diagnosed with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It was all for her own entertainment. Sound familiar?
Exactly-even before Trump I never understood the disconnect. If we are so great, why are we so lousy at basic needs?
How do you defeat greed? Maybe if we rename socialism as compassionate capitalism or civic capitalism some people wouldn’t get their ass hairs on end and maybe they should keep us alive? Bottom line: the 1% know their wealth is a Ponzi scheme.
We are all on our own, no longer a community of people.
Something like 27 state laws says when grandma gets kicked out of her old folks home is that she coming to live with you.
Class war. And MAGA is too addicted to hate and racism to realize it.
Ok, we get it. We don’t need one more person to tell us what’s happening. So what now?
Agreed. I’m starting to unfollow accounts that post “wake up” or “ we could have had this” etc.
The message should be short, specific and have verbs in it
That's Republicans for you - getting us to fight each other so that our attention isn't on them as they fleece us while we fight.
Follow @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social
This moral filth was around long before Trump. The Republican Party built the door Trump walked thru.
Trump invented nothing, he just used the Nazi playbook.
And let’s not forget about project 2025, this is going to be an interesting road to the midterms!
Draining the country for profit by oligarchs is another component of "Orbánized Crime". Take over the courts, the press, remake the constitution, control the military, establish one party rule, and install a dictator for life. Project 2025, in collaboration with Hungary, is the instruction manual.
He had a lot of help from billionaires, the media, and RW think tanks
And project 2025, which he didn’t write.
Trump is simply the instrument of weaponization. This has been the plan for 50 years or more. It is what's at the core of "Trickle Down Economics." It's not a bug. It's a feature.
👀
Stop! United States is not the wealthy country in the world. We have poured money into the military but ignored those living here.
Not just Trump, the entire GOP for 50+ years.
MAGA loves when others suffer. They are unhappy and miserable and want everyone else to be too. They play the victim while blaming others for their own decisions.
He’s trying to destroy the country to make us into Russia. He and the oligarchs prosper and everyone else can die for all he cares. He’s a narcissistic psycho dictator.
To say the least
We can fight this. Don't buy into it. Make the Trump policies the focus. Trump only wins on this if we let him. He's not Voldermort. Hit back.
The most pathetic part to me is that this stupid bill was completely UNNECESSARY. It wasn’t life or death to ANYONE. Taking healthcare away from 17 million people could be life or death. How is this right or equitable? Trump has come out and said he HATES DEMOCRATS. I think he hates DEMOCRACY too.
🎯
And if we don’t do something better, it’ll be the Dems going to El Salvador or Sudan. Let’s make it trump & minions that go
I’m a New Yorker who loves @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social - we need more elected officials like her!
Blue States need to write laws about Red State losers coming to use our healthcare and resources. I used to be a supporter of healthcare for all. Now I just support healthcare for all Blue States.
No, you’re absolutely correct. We should be focusing our hate solely on the rich who have through the use of money and power corrupted our political system. They employ the police to keep down our rebellions! They’re not worried about the crime amongst us! They don’t live here? Wise up! Rise up!
That’s the whole plot of the apprentice.
I’ve been saying this for quite a while. It’s Miller on top right now. Vought is in the wings.
The reality is he could never win on love. He needs his hate, and your hate to make you feel superiour to other. That's why he hugs the flag and claims only Maga are Patriots. Everybody else is now the enemy and you need to fight the enemy for him. America deserves a better president ! Vote !
Excellent explanation!
A little different take on yours from Canada. Trump did not weaponize you against each other. You LET him do it. Land of the free, home of the brave and all that BS. Blah, blah, blah. Time to be free in your thinking & brave in your actions - as opposed to blindly following a 6 time loser.
No, I think it’s past time we LITERALLY start fighting each other. We have 1/3 of our populace who are actively evil and cheering concentration camps. It’s time to remove ourselves from their company and stand on our own without them. Secession.
Divide from within and make them all starve.
Trump wants to be Donald Sutherland in the Hunger Games. And then he wants to produce and direct The Purge trilogy.
He loves it. He’s like a vain popular girl in HS that delights when the jocks fight over who gets to take her to prom
Homestead, homeschool, home remedies, home births, and the "courage" to bravely die in your own home EMBRACING your lack of insurance coverage...
The Hunger Games have come to every country in the U.S.
"county" -- not "country"
No. Trump has only weaponized his base and the Republican party against kindness and human decency. The rest of us haven't been weaponized. We are rightly defending humanity from vile Nazi filth.
Well, ya know, we’re woke & they aren’t. They think it’s a dirty word, but of course, it’s not.
This woman is a dynamo. Her speech in 2022 started me donating to candidates in other states that stand out.
They #SetItUp to happen #After #Midterms #LetThatSinkIn
Yeah, Medicaid rimming out doesn’t occur until after the election. That was done on purpose. People will vote then find out how he’s screwing a lot of poor MAGA’s over. Some of us too, of course.
Our legislative system is so broken. We need to fix this before we can turn this ship around. 🖕😑🖕
