Yes, it’s hard to decide whether Trump and his ilk are fascists of Maoists. Maybe both at once.

Able-bodied 3 year olds on ladders picking cherries.

My able-bodied brother with the intellect of a 4 y/o, autistic, & with a touch of CP will be the best Fucking bean picker ever. These people are beyond stupid.

Funny how people fantasize this being along the lines of Mao or Pol Pot with the thinking class as the main victim when Project 2025 is pretty clear about the return of chattel slavery. You all missed out on the "inner city" dog whistle.

The 34 million on Medicaid already have jobs…she’s lying on top of the crazy screed

‘holiday in cambodia’much??

We could have camps for them to be re educated!

MAGA and the Cultural Revolution share significant traits, from their goal of national purity to the elevation of their leader to their de-facto god.

Which of the white people will be the first to sign up?

I can see it now, "freedom farming." Farm labor shortage? Just deport immigrants & force 34M Medicaid folks into the fields. Let's learn from the Soviet labor colonies, North Korean work assignments, and Maoist re-education camps

Saloth Sâr much, Brooke Rollins?

Oh so all these able bodied adults on Medicaid will go pick crops? Wow. Good luck with that.

Who are these 34 million able-bodied people? Teens? Pregnant woman? New moms? Single parents?

They will still need Medicaid, because these jobs don’t exactly come with healthcare. Fucking idiots.

Serfdom.

The mentions of turning Medicaid recipients into a forced labor pool have accumulated, and now are a deafening roar.

it's all part of Mao's...er...Trump's 5 year plan.

Happen fast, huh? Medicaid cuts don’t kick in until after 2016 election.

And most of the able bodied on Medicaid already have jobs.

2026!

Oh FFS

It’s not like they’d be thinking of using some sort of expanded paramilitary group of thugs to round people up and use them as forced labor…that would be ridiculous…😳…aw, fuck…this is exactly what they are planning

Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse Trump.

This is such BS. Where do they get these numbers?

In conjunction with the NKVD-like process of trying to meet quotas for the people you're rounding up, even if there's no reason to round them up. sfi.usc.edu/news/2017/09...

Dystopia.

Just the current administration channelling Mao & Pol Pot ...

These people are beyond insane.

They have absolutely no clue what it is like to try and get medical insurance when you don't get paid a lot - medical insurance in the US costs hundreds a month and is out or reach when you make even $15/hour, especially when rent takes most of your paycheck. They are clueless callous, and cruel.

I can't wait to build a forge in my back yard!

Is she really that dumb? Rhetorical Will Amazon and Walmart workers on food stamps and Medicaid (because they keep their hours short and pay so low) need to work a third job in the fields? How does her plan work, exactly?

prediction in 3 years so few immigrants will come to the usa that others will begin to leave as prices skyrocket of course by then a democrat gets in and gop and retardicons will blame them remember this post

I'm not sure she has a plan, just talking points from der leader and lies, lies, lies all the way down.

The Heritage Foundation’s MOB for global takeovers, doesn’t have a math expert.

Steven Miller needed TWO cold showers!

Look at Ozempic Huckabee-Sanders out there smiling at this shit. Fuck her.

What could possibly go wrong?

Hand in your cookpots to be melted down for manufacturing robots to toil in the fields...it feels like some mixing of fantasy metaphors here

They tried it once in Cambodia. We all know how that ended.

Yeah I asked an 80 y/o GOP voter what job they were planning to get and they were like

How’d that work out for Pol Pot?

Could be a great leap forward for the US.

Like 34 million people can actually do the work and live near a farm. Another Trumpidiot

"Madison, put your phone down and pick those cauliflowers!"

Demented deluded and dysfunctional.

clueless

Those 15 million infants and children will surely be easy to put to work. 🙄

Don't forget the nursing home population.

Pioneered by such greats as Pol Pot. I am sure it will work out great.

There are more than enough poor people in rural areas on Medicaid.

Next we'll be melting down all of the farming tools to make the steel production quota.

But I thought Republicans were terrified of communism???

Mao would be so proud

So would Stalin. And Ceaușescu…

I like the end to the Ceaușescu story. Very much.

We will also have our own Cultural Revolution and Down to the Countryside campaign.

And there’s the many people that work multiple jobs already but are on Medicaid because they still don’t make enough to live on.

Just like Cambodia in the 70’s‼️🤨

Down the river, you could say.

Rollins is the “born on farm-but left it to be white collar” poster child. Folks with literal prior agriculture or dairy experience aren’t out there pulling on duckies and grabbing the hoe like they suggest is best for America. Rules for thee

Im wondering about the 34 million able bodied people being kicked off Medicaid...

the *DEFINITION* of muted applause... she practically petered out on the "thank youuuuuuu..." They don't even believe their own bullshit -

Can’t wait to witness the spectacle of automated fruit harvesting.

All accomplished by AI, I'm sure....

This sounds very “central planning-ish”. Nice little national socialist country you’ve got there. If there was only some kind of shorter name to call it 🤔

Why do they think these “able-bodied” people on Medicaid don’t have jobs????

Reagan

Because they have believed the myth for a long time that people receiving these benefits are lazy. That’s why it’s important more than ever now for those able bodied people on Medicaid to tell their stories. That will carry more weight than what someone on the stump will say.

So of course Sarah Huckabee is present for this abomination. There’s always room in the clown car for another clown.

child labor sarah? I guess she has a plan to reduce school to 6 months a year so that children can be sent to work on farms from spring to fall

Sounds about right!

Goes nice with their network of Tuol Slengs

Apparently these numbnuts stopped reading at “Stalin used urban dwellers to work the farms”.

"with 34 million able-bodied on Medicaid"

bsky.app/profile/sili...

The next logical step will be her telling us to start Victory Gardens to drive the immigrants back home.

It’s just the kind of, shall we say, revolution our culture needs right now.

It's like they're trying to cause some sort of revolution of the culture.

Define "able-bodied".

Make America Great Leap Forward Again

I'm so thrilled that now that NIH and NSF are on the chopping block, I can put all those years of education and training to work picking strawberries in the witheringly hot sun for $8/hr.

Suck them dry, and make them slave laborers. What could go wrong?🤦‍♂️

Just the intellectuals.

Maybe it’s because we just visited Cambodia, but her statement is waaayyyy too close Khmer Rouge’s playbook.

Keep your eyes on the sparrows.

Mass deportations will continue, but in a $tragegic way. (wink)

I make a practice of going to the bathroom in a strategic way.

it will be a great leap forward.

It’ll be so hard to decide between screwing little screws into iPhones or being a farm laborer! So many exciting opportunities for our children!

so they are gonna use automation to create 100% employment? huh.

This administration is now modeling Pol Pot’s Cambodia?

Those prison camps are for slave labor. That's the plan

That’s the plan

Not just that it's so nice to folks, but also that it's always worked SO WELL...

Cultural Revolution 2: The Second Time as Farce

Sounds a lot like the Great Cultural Revolution in China where urban bourgeoise we sent out to work the fields. How did that turn out? One million killed and stagnant economy for 10 years. Not to mention the dictatorial regime of Mao terrorized the people.

So my 80 year old father and mother in law, both on Medicare, should get ready to do farm work?

Oh, don’t worry. It’s only if they’re on Medicaid. You know, also poor, with the least amount of individual power to stand up for their rights. This whole situation is disgusting.

Labor camps and gulags in order to ‘earn’ your Medicaid … next it’ll be any regime dissenters, journalists, ‘liberal’ academics… sure sounds like Authoritarian playbook… Mao’s ‘Down to the Countryside’ & Stalins forced relocation schemes…

Maybe they shouldn’t be attacking the hiring of individuals with disabilities. Send the Trump regime your comments. www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

“Yes ladies and gentlemen, your disabled family members will be able to pick crops!” Heartless and idiotic.

Move the workforce to automation. Are the corn picking robots ready to be sent to the fields to pick corn?

Bezos is gonna miss his poverty wage workers

Let’s start with her 4 children.

So, Medicaid recipients will be moved to rural areas where they can work on corporate farms picking crops. Too bad there will be few to zero health care providers in the areas where they will go. I wonder if the Medicaid recipients (or Medipickers for short) will have a choice.

www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Polpotinomics

Amazing, @kairyssdal.bsky.social

In North Korea, foreign diplomats are encouraged to take part in “Friendship Labour”, which is usually spent helping out on a farm. With 100,000 overseas diplomats in the US, that’s a pretty useful pool of talent to be tapped.

Sounds like the Communist Revolution.

This person has no idea what she's doing. Her plan makes no sense at all.

Her only job is to soften us up for the eventual takeover by whomever the Grifter sells out to.

They keep saying Communism is bad and then go and do some pretty Communist shit. I know, I know the state doesn't own the farm so it's more feudal than communist but I doubt that distinction would get through their thick skulls.

Ya can’t fix stoopid

The Bigly Leap Forward!

So Pol Pot. We’re at the Pol Pot stage of American devolution.

Careful with this counterrevolutionary thinking.

Do I put Serfdom, or indentured servitude on my resume?

It worked so well in the Soviet Union

There's gonna be a golden age of American pig iron

Welp, I didn’t have Pol Pot or Khmer Rouge on my bingo card Damn!

So, here's how it's going to work. They introduce a "responsibility" program for farmers etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kafala_... *Then* there is no amnesty, you either willingly sign up for slavery or it's an El Salvadorian/ Floridian death camp for you. Promises made, promises kept.

I should add that @64% of Medicaid recipients are already working. The rest are either sick, disabled or caregivers. I'm not sure how that demographic is going to get the crops in.

Evil people have evil plans!

Some backyard furnaces could really help with the steel tariffs too!

Um “move to automation”?? Yeah, we’re a LONG ways away from that with so many of our crops. Any berry, any fruit or vegetable that can be bruised, any crop that ripens unevenly. A reliable robotic solution to harvesting isn’t a thing. This administration needs to stop watching movies.

"Everyone agrees that workers aren't showing up, but a lot of growers don't blame the Trump administration for that. They say it's bad actors on the left creating panic unnecessarily." We live in an age of nonsense.

non sense. yep, that's where we are. and still the maggas cheer

Feels like some sort of…cultural revolution.

This is something right out of Pol Pot and Mao isn’t it?

Have they told the farmers they all need to start paying for health insurance for these workers? Otherwise, how would it save the government any money at all?

They aren't going to be doing that get real

Let’s make sure to rope in her family and kids first.

🤮

Slavery is back in the menu boys. Barely a lifetime we've lived and we're back to the circle we started at

This is so crazy. If you take out kids and people with w2 job, that leaves 10 million not 34. That 10 million includes mothers with small kids, other caregivers, students, and people with severe medical conditions.

The other also includes people with other jobs too

This opportunity literally made Xi Jinping the man he is today.

I would be honored to welcome an American Xi

These monsters won't be happy until they see people in wheelchairs picking strawberries in 98 degree heat - or single mothers with their children in tow picking apples - etc. etc.

So Maoist!

And in their down time from agrarian activities, Medicaid recipients can also be required to smelt metals in makeshift furnaces to eliminate our dependence on foreign steel. Talk about a win-win

OMG Is she delusional? Can you imagine Trump cabinet sitting around throwing out ideas and this is what they came up with?

Feel like you might need to be more explicit with your references for casuals to understand

This turned out well in Russia when they sent urban workers to farms 🤦‍♂️

100% participation? Like forced labor camps?

Cool, cool…I’m sure the disabled, caretakers and single moms who are already holding 1-2 jobs will be thrilled to hear of this opportunity to expand their career options.

High speed rail from inner city to the farmlands.

With AI replacing so many jobs, not to mention robotics, there are literally millions of college graduates with no real prospects in their field of choice, so they might as well be out in the field picking fruits and vegetables.

34 million? Another crazy ass nazi 🙄

yeah, but we'll do it right this time.

Get your ass out there first Brooke.

Little Miss Pol Pot in action.

Instead of Little Red Books we get copies of Art of the Deal .

Project 2025, signed by DJT of course.

A Trump bible* with an Art of the Deal slipcover * - The version plantation owners gave the slave population

" It's a holiday in Cambodia " .

Meanwhile. The last 25 years in China? How ya gonna keep em down on the farm after they’ve seen Shanghai

I've got The Chairman's little red book handy, ready for my re-education stay on the farm.

They want farms to fail.

oh boy 🤦

Leaving aside the incoming Glorious Revolution, what the fuck does "mass deportation, but strategically" mean??

can people pick crops from wheel chairs? asking for the non psychos.

With the Easy Pick system for strawberries, you can pick strawberries while laying down on a pad. It’s still a rough gig. youtu.be/jmib5b7AhXg?...

Ya know, maybe we should be rethinking how workers are already being exploited, before we replace them with Medicaided Muricans.

A few mods still needed to convert it to a mobile dialysis clinic.

This particular thread is making my day! Thank you!

Geez, still rough on the neck. Maybe it needs a strap that they can rest their forehead on if they want. Farm workers are incredibly hard-working.

agree. instead of deporting them there should be a national day set aside to thank them.

I love that we call boss/managers "farmers" when their product happens to be something we eat.

Red hat, little red book… potato, potaato.

Well, yes, but that was China. We be better.

Ironically, these employers might actually give them health insurance….

Khmer L'orange.

Perfect!

Pol Pot redemption!

Oh, no, slave labor from concentration camps will be used. Under threat of torture and rendition to worse gulags where death is pretty much guaranteed. For profit. History as a guide for what to do, instead of what not to do is basically the reactionary mantra.

Rouge, Blanc, et Bleu...

Killer Barbie comes with all accessories to the crime.

Chairman Don and his Red (State) Guard.

"they'll enjoy hanging out with God...just dirt, them..and Jesus,..no asphalt!"

Pol Putt Putt

The Great Leap Forward?

Next they should roll out collectived farming.

Down to the Countryside, to spite the communists

Gimme an M ... gimme an A ... gomme an O ...

At least everyone toiling in the fields will get good health insurance. bsky.app/profile/kair...

(to be sure, able-bodied people on Medicaid generally *do* work, at one or more jobs with low pay and no health insurance) (the history Kai Ryssdal is referencing is well-worth knowing ... Mao and Pol Pot come to mind)

The cost will skyrocket way beyond what ever has been saved and will venture into the causing death and starvation area.

Who is this bigot?

So I can pick strawberries for minimum wage when ChatGPT takes my job

Farm workers are exempt from minimum wage and OT laws, you better fill those baskets fast if you want to get close to minimum wage.

Forgot that part Guess I better start getting in shape

They keep thinking that being on Medicaid means you don't have to work Those Medicaid checks just keep rolling in . . .

It's going to be the kids, that's why states are relaxing child labor laws...

I think it’s so amazing how many healthy people on Medicaid live in rural farming communities that are gonna work in the fields picking our produce! Anyone who believes this crap is insane

It is year zero!

Just to be clear, if you look at Medicaid enrollment data, they are saying that ALL BUT 7 MILLION adults on Medicaid are able bodied and can work. (37 million of the 78 million total Medicaid enrollment are children )

Stunning that what they have learned from the Holocaust is what awful things to do to people they don’t like.

They want to replace the farm workers with African Americans. That's why they told everyone that the "immigrants are taking Black jobs." In other words, their plan is to go back to plantations and slavery.

Surely it would be just a bit of reeducation required, right? We could make some camps for that. Reeducation camps, out in the country. Yeah. That would fix those woke liberal academics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultura...

Maybe when they close Harvard they can send all the professors to work in the fields. 🙄

And we’ll call it ‘The Great Leap Forward’.

I recommend taking off your glasses in public.

I'm definitely getting to wear the garbage bag ski mask sometime in the first hour of the march.

But then I’d be able to see people.

Trump Rouge?

Just gonna declare it Year Zero and call it a day.

Are we all supposed to walk out of the cities now?

So am I understanding this his correctly, people on Medicaid are going to work in the fields to replace deported migrants???

Yup, what could go wrong

This is why it’s very important for regular working people on Medicaid have to get their stories out, to burst the bubble. Individual people with their own stories will carry more weight than a politician on the stump.

Crueler than that. They will be turning their own rural constituents into sharecroppers. ccf.georgetown.edu/2025/01/15/m...

Jobs will be filled w/o pay by ICE camp detainees.

Chairman Maouth.

Alas, so few people in recent decades, have read any books. Cue Liitle Feat’s Apolitical Blues: “Well my telephone was ringing and they told me it was Chairman Mao”

So do farm workers get medical insurance now? I wonder if anyone has told the farmers this?

Pol Pot would feel vindicated

Turning folks into slaves? Does she realize that most people on Medicaid already work? Scary times.

They mean slavery.

Followed by the Army.

Imbecile, like all of Taco’s cronies.
