You know the irony in all of this, is that the people whom these 'back-to-work' efforts are going to hit the hardest, like the people working in the meat processing facilities, that a significant percentage of them were the types of people who probably voted for Trump in 2016. Certainly a lot of them voted agasint Hillary as she could never have been seen as 'one of them', not that they saw Trump that way, but he offered them something different. Well, they're now paying for that vote, or at least they will be soon.

Are you willing to die for Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies?

by Thom Hartmann

Donald Trump says, "The people of our country should think of themselves as warriors. Our country has to open."

So, first he ignored the coronavirus for months and didn't do any planning or preparation. Then he threw responsibility for dealing with it to the individual states and told them they're on their own. Now he tells you and me that we're supposed to be the soldiers who are willing to die in a battle that he doesn't want to fight.

All of Trump's efforts now are being directed toward turning the money machine of the economy back on for his billionaire buddies and the stock market, because he thinks that's what will get him reelected. He's willing to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of us to accomplish that. And he is betting that we will be willing to go along with being involuntarily drafted for his war to help his billionaire buddies.

Did you volunteer for this draft? Are you willing to die to get Donald Trump reelected?
