Well if that isn't just about the most evil thing you could openly admit to doing.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

The Obama administration also put children in wire fence cages.
Trump is the worst because his predecessors were bad.
And we aren't even talking about foreign policy, we're talking about what has been going on on American soil.
There's is a thread that goes from Bill Clinton ~~creating~~ using the meme of the welfare queen to DOGE.
That was famously Ronald Reagan. Not sure why anyone would pay attention to anything else you say after fucking that up that bad.
Yeah he got that wrong, but I think this still highlights the dynamic at play. Regan pushed the horrible cultural narrative around welfare, but then he was followed by Clinton saying he was going to “end welfare as we know it.” Softer language than Regan, but pushing in the same policy direction, enabled by Regan’s earlier propaganda, and in the act of making it bipartisan, he normalized it as a position that we’ve been stuck with ever since.
I may have fumbled that reference, but Bill Clinton managed to make a bipartisan effort to reduce welfare work.
JFC, Bill Clinton signed the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act because he wanted to look tough on crime, but Trump is the big bad boogeyman that came out of nowhere.
Cut me some fucking slack and stop looking at Democrats through rose-tinted glasses, for Christ's sake.
