Republicans want seniors and children to work because of a labor shortage

A current labor shortage will be exacerbated if Trump wins and deports millions of immigrants. Where to get workers?

Relax child labor laws that protect kids.

Accelerate possible cuts in Social Security by reducing taxes – this would force some seniors to work.

Disgusting ideas.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”

Peter Green – the first leader of Fleetwood Mac

The verison of Fleetwood Mac that became popular in the late 1970s was very different than the original version which was a blues band led by Peter Green.

I saw Fleetwood Mac in 1971 – they weren’t a blues band anymore but hadn’t morphed into the popular version yet. The lead singers were Christine McVie and Bob Welch.

A tribute concert was held after Green died in 2020.

Why Trump and his cult are afraid of minorities

Trump and his cult want to preserve the power now held by white Christians in the US. They have this misguided notion that they are the group that is discriminated against. It’s a racist movement.

At some point in the 2040s, the US will be majority minority – whites will be the minority. Know why they are afraid of that? They have treated minorities like shit and are afraid that minorities will treat them like that when they are the majority. I think this fear is very misguided. I think minorities know from experience that prejudice and discrimination are wrong and harmful.

As a Jew, I think antisemitism in the US is worse than at any point in my lifetime and I blame Trump and his cult for this.

Others are also alarmed about the 2024 election

I’m not the only person who is alarmed. What I wrote sounds extreme but it could happen. The Perry Bacon, Jr. column is outstanding.

Trump has already said it will be rigged. I would not expect Johnson to observe the traditional process if Trump loses.
