Republicans Probably Agree With Trump Budget & Cuts To Vulnerable Populations.

After all government programs are for "n****rs" & S***s*. That attitude is what drives Republicans voters. The southern strategy has worked so well. All the effected nonessential programs or most of them are framed as for certain minorities. This kind of meme was started with Ronald Reagan and it has persisted ever since in various forms.

These same memes were used again and again during the last presidential campaign. And the underlying background theme in this budget is just the same tune being played to the Trump base. And the attack on the arts is really an attack on the LGBT community if you really think about it.

The Trumps and actually GOP budget plays to their racist nationalist base.

...they have been silent as the grave these last couple of days, both in the flesh and online. They have either experienced the gentle betraying caress of Trump's backhand across their faces, or they're smart enough to keep their traps shut when everyone around them is about ready to go off like an A bomb.

So the National Endowment for the Arts is going to be cut. Hmmm so to cut the endowment, which is for the kids, young adults, seniors of all political persuasions to enjoy, learn, thrive, the military will be able to buy one fucking f22.....
ONE FUCKING F-22...arrogant pricks

So I am not blaming the Fuckump supporters anymore, because cretins are easily fooled. Just look at the cretinous fuckups that attend his rallies, I am blaming the lazy fat fucking couch rock democrats who didnt bother to vote, the Jill Stein voters who decided to fuck their party, the idiots who voted for thatidiotic Libertarian guy, who I cant even remember his name. I am a Kennedy liberal, I NEVER wish harm on anyone,....well, let's just say, I hope the fuck your granny isn't relying on Meals on Wheels, or I hope your young daughter doesn't want to become an artist, or I hope your son doesn't decide the way to go is enlisting in the marines, because you laying on your sofa, eating your fucking pop-tarts and deciding your neighbor can handle electing Hillary Clinton is about to just on your fat fucking face and take a shit on you.... good luck lazy asses....next time think ahead....
