Also remember, some of this is engineered by both parties to distract us from the everyday realities we are facing.

Funny how one party seems to push this sort of shit way way more than another party.

Don’t take your eye off the prize. We want a centrally planned economy, we want universal healthcare, we want federally funded infrastructure projects,

I just want a functioning democracy, one with less fascists and corruption in it.

and we’re gonna take that money from the wealthy.

And how are you going to do that? Are you willing to take it by force? Because that's the only way it's going to happen. You have to take it by force.

No, we'll take it by legislation and re-writing the tax code, but if they want to hold out, than yes, we'll take it by force, and that will be a LOT worse for them.

WTF is wrong with you? Of course I'm not taking it personally, and obviously we wouldn't be taking away billionaire's fortunes under the current regime. There isn't the Congressional votes to pass it, nor would HitlerPig sign it.

IF we manage to take our government back, AND remove the DINO Democrats who are nothing more than Republican-Lites, then we can hopefully have a Congress who will pass legislation authorizing a re-write of the 1974 Tax Code, which baked-in Trickle Down Economics, resulting in an annual $2 Trillion shift of revenue from the middle/working class to the wealthy.

And who would take it? The Democratic government, acting on behalf of the American people. It's not done with guns (or shovels, WTF?), it's done with computers, and law enforcement. Their bank accounts will be frozen and confiscated, and their properties and assets seized and sold at auction, or utilized by the government.

These mechanisms have always been available, the Dems just never used them, while the MAGAs never histate to exploit them as much as possible.

You personally? You're going to take it by force?

So, when democracy is dismantled in the next year or two, and it's no longer possible to "take it by legislation" or "re-write the tax code", you personally are going to take it by force?

With what? Do you have a gun? What you are going to take it with? A shovel?
