Elon and Trump shutting down SS.


I think she means making it tax free and making her bring home amount higher.

If not, you can't fix stupid.

Do maintenance calls up and down the beach. The snowbirds have been relentless the last few years. I'd say 8 out of every 10 have either MSNBC or CNN on in the background. Minnesota ,Michigan and Wisconsin union boomers are dumb as shite.

Is out of her damn mind about Elon and Trump shutting down SS. Good lord I’ve talked to her till I’m exhausted about this not happening. I guess the Libs are really good at scaring young and old people.


Yup.. i feel your pain...

But you can blame MSNBC, CNN, Colbert The View, Fallen, and just about every other media outlet out there...

Defund the Police??? "F" no.. we need to defund the media.

Give her a good hard slap to the face. She comes from a Generation of women that expected that whenever they became Hysterical.

If you don't believe me, Google for yourself some of the Cures that men a hundred years ago devised for hysterical women.

I was 10 years old when Vietnam ended. I don't believe in participation trophy's.

I've always been for small government.

The boomers born around 1960 are very different than the ones 10-15 years older than us.

We were conservative and hard working and much more like Gen X.

I have a friend in her early 70s is convinced Trump is planning to do away with ss. Can't convince her otherwise.


They’ve been peddling that for many years. I know Boomers who hate everything about today’s Democrat Party but still call themselves Dem because muh Trump’s gonna get rid of SS.

To preserve the integrity of your family, you'll need to find a way to continue to love her despite your political differences. It'll promote family unity if you can learn to politely disagree w/o causing a fight.There'll be times when the best you can do is to change the topic. There might even be a time where you best option is to respectfully hold your thought. Too many families are being ripped apart by political differences. Your family is vastly more important than politics. I suspect many will disagree w/ this, and that's ok. OTOH, it's really painful to hear another parent (conservative) I know say their adult kids (liberal) "hate us" and "don't want to be around us" because of politics.

Funny because my parents (both in their 70s) laugh about it every time they hear about them doing this because they know that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are never going to screw over American elderly people by taking away their Social Security
Here's the thing. Dems have been using this scare tactic for multiple decades. How long is this shite going to work? I mean, at a certain point even a kid doesn't buy "got your nose"!

Love your Mother.

But, you need to laugh at her in her face a little bit about this. She needs to know.

What happens in 18 months when Doge is done and SS is still there? Will they admit they were dumb or still scared shitless?


They still aren’t over Covid 5 years later. They aren’t good about admitting they are wrong or over reacted.

This describes the electoral strategy of both major parties for at least the past century.

How many time does Trump have to say he isn’t touching SS or Medicare?

It's a horse race between the number of times he said he wasn't going to touch SS and Medicare and the number ot times he said he didn't know about what Project 2025 was.
