Cheeto And Reagan’s Rugged Individualism

WE the People are a community who help one another out when each other are in need WE see this moral principle as living in a society who help those in need

WE the People want helpfulness not hopelessness WE the People want our power back after the the Nazi/GOP is trying to take away nutritional assistance and supplemental health insurance premiums for Obamacare/Affordable Care

What started this moral issue was Reagan who claimed the fictional welfare queen a millstone around the government's neck which was meant to charge the GOP electorate But Hollywood cowboy Reagan and B actor pushed the image of rugged individualism This approach is antithetical to community It’s okay if billionaires get a tax break because they can afford to be a rugged individual But for the rest of us?

Cheeto took the rugged individualism a step further As a malignant narcissist he doesn’t care about anybody else but himself, the real rugged individual

Not much new here. More of what I have watch from childhood forward. My father was 100% disabled from a brain injury. My parents and a neurologist fought for years for this determination while my mom and I watches the vultures to see where he collapsed when he tried to work on our ranch. Getting VA certifiction of disability just the start. During the Eisenhower administration he directed the VA to stop paying veterans such as my dad to make the budget numbers look better.

Checks resumed when my mom sent to telegram to the White House saying the president should be ashamed.

Saddes part of this progression in current president knows no shame.

their cruelty is unspeakable.... my Italian curses aren't enough to spit on them for what they do to the VA.... he thinks they support him??? Only the most vicious psychopaths are supporting him with masks on no name badges in unmarked cars/vans/trucks...only cowards hide behind masks...

So sad. I often wonder if part of the problem is that too few Americans sign up for service in the military, intelligence services, foreign service, etc. As a Gold Star niece, I think that too many Americans just don’t care.
