Lurking Deplorables , if you believed this remove yourself from the gene pool

[DemocratSinceBirth]

"We're going to have insurance for everybody..There was a philosophy in some circles that if you can't pay for it, you don't get it. That's not going to happen with us... They can expect to have great health care. It will be in a much simplified form. Much less expensive and much better..."

-Donald J. Trump

You are too stupid to breed.

1. ... and a free pony for everybody.

...

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

14. I don't want a pony. Can I get a zebra instead?

[csziggy]

17. No, no zebra - but you can have a white donkey and a wide nib Sharpie

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. I can make that work.

[LOL Lib]

2. Or the lurking deplorables can wait and let the GOP kill them slowly.

You dumb bastards that voted for Turnip deserve to be removed from the gene pool either way!

[Lint Head]

3. What a beautifully evil plan! Kill off the poor so the rich can rule

everything.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

4. OTOH

Nwb2017 • an hour ago
this plan literally kills two birds with one stone, reduces the number of rural americans through inadequate health care, and undermines the GOP future. Its a shame it had to come to that, but hey, elections have consequences.

7. As technology advances, what use do the rich have for the poor?

Traditionally, and throughout history the "haves".. be it a despot, a king, an emperor, or oligarch ruler have had need of the underclass in order to maintain their status. As manufacturing plants require fewer and fewer people to work within the walls, as service places are getting more automated, as even the automobiles they drive (or are driven in) become more automated, eventually there will be a point where the rich, or the "haves" will no longer have use for the have nots.

Those who are outside of the 1-10% are becoming obsolete, and I suspect that's probably at the core on why many of them really don't give that much of a care about the environment. When the time comes, they just let the peasants die off, and they'll have their technology and hand selected cronies to keep them going.

11. If the have-nots all dissappear, who will the rich rob and hate?

Themselves?

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

20. Actually, the rich depend on the have-nots

to do all the crappy jobs that even the middle class won't do. So getting rid of the poor isn't really a good idea in the long run.

I will say that I'm considering writing a story in which all those who are out of work for some period of time are put into resettlement communities, and if they still don't find work, they end up as fertilizer.

[Permanut]

22. I see where you're going with this..

kind of a "Soylent Brown" theme.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

23. Yep.

As always happens with me I get a pretty decent story idea, and have no clue what sort of a plot is needed.

Do I have the soon-to-be-fertilizer people revolt? Do I show it as a kind of Utopia because there's full employment? Do I have some of the rich people get thrown into the fertilizer group? Should aliens show up and simply harvest all humans? There's probably some vastly better plot possibility than any of those. Sigh.

I often say that if I could sell story ideas for a dime a dozen I'd be rich.

[Permanut]

24. As long as you keep posting here..

your posts are among the brightest spots here on DU among a LOT of brilliant posts. Okay, so I'm a PoindexterOglethorpe fan.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

25. Ohhh, thank you.

You have my permission to start the inaugural chapter of the PoindexterOglethorpe fan club.

[Lyricalinklines]

5. Yet no one mentions all the jobs to be lost in this KGOP big "cut" to save the country

or maybe it's just my perception.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. Yep, lots of jobs eliminated, resulting from this repeal. LOTS!

[Lyricalinklines]

18. Yes. And no plan to regenerate positions to replace them. So a family whose grandparents are

in any sort of elderly services and parents happen to work in health care could conceivably lose a job or two, any and all health care/elderly care for grandparents as well as healthcare for all.

The only benefactors of this scheme will be a measure of the top 1%.

[RhodeIslandOne]

6. They don't ever think they are going to get sick, therefore they don't need it

"I don't need it! I don't want it! I'm gonna live forever!"

Idiots indeed.

[rpannier]

8. Remember... in conservoworld

Everything is a gigantic crisis with simple solutions
Budget deficit? Tax cuts
Crime? Build more prisons
Unhappy with something the government is doing or responsible for? Privatize it

[GallopingGhost]

9. They probably think gene pool

is swimming with their pants on.

[Augiedog]

12. Voting for tRump is by definition an application for self removal from said gene pool.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Exactly. If it sounds too good to be true, it is. Idiots. nt

[dalton99a]

15. Deplorables who think their healthcare jobs are safe are going to have a nasty surprise

Yes, they are too stupid to breed.

[Generic Brad]

16. If only intellect were a prerequisite to breed

I'm too smart for my own good.

[american_ideals]

21. Agree with media pt, but drop eugenics comments

No need to bring back the dark specter of eugenics, breeding, and the gene pool. That was a dark time in our history.
