Summary
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a memo prioritizing federal funding for communities with marriage and birth rates above the national average.
The directive, which applies to grants, loans, and contracts, also prioritizes projects benefiting families with young children.
A congressional aide criticized the policy, saying, “Considering fertility rates when prioritizing federal grants? We obviously have no idea what the full impact of that will be… It’s absolutely creepy. It’s a little ‘Chinese government.’”
The memo also blocks mask mandates and requires compliance with immigration enforcement.
Ninety million people didn’t vote. That’s over one third of the voting body of the country. Third party votes made up another three million. Don’t even try to offload the responsibility non-voting had in the mess we’re in.
And don’t pull that “divide and conquer” bullshit here. We all tried to get you to join us in solidarity against trump. You refused. So no, that shit isn’t going to play here at all and you should be embarrassed for even thinking about mentioning it.
Hypocrite.

Ok well keep blaming voters and shouting down voices of logic and reason, and enjoy your new dictatorship, ya dick. Liberalism still won’t save you from this mess, you’re either going to have to wake up and accept that reality or lose again.
I don’t blame just third party voters. I blame people that entrenched themselves within their blind stupidity and refused to try and stop a tyrant felon and ignored him when he told them what he would do.
I don’t give a fuck that the DNC propped up a lame duck. I don’t give a fuck what they thought was going to happen. They were warned by people that know better what will happen if trump won. And they were told what they could do to stop it.
They didn’t.
So they can take a bow. They fucking did this.
Why is it that warnings of what would happen weren’t taken seriously enough by Democrats to try to earn people’s votes? Voters warned them what would happen if they stuck to the same policies they had been running on. If the elites of the party are going to make all decisions for the rest of us, they can accept all the blame when they lose.
Because when threatened by piece of shit Naizs like trump- we don’t get to have that luxury of entitlement. We needed to do what was necessary to stop trump and that was it- pencils down, the test is over.
And now, because a bunch of people that clearly had nothing to lose- decided for everyone that none of this was worth their time because the democrats didn’t jump perfectly through their hoops, we ALL get to suffer.
Congratulations. You did NOTHING.
You don’t know how voted or what privileges I have and don’t have. But knowing that I’m a nonbinary tran person who voted for Kamala won’t change the fact that people don’t vote for candidates out of duty. That’s never been how people vote. So you can absolutely keep pretending that your position is noble and that it’s your fellow citizens who failed you, but at the end of the day, Democrats were running on a message that he was the worst thing possible, but weren’t willing to do everything possible to stop him. They had a responsibility to deliver policies that solved the problems people were encountering, to respond to their base when their base said “we don’t want to fund genocide”. Lying to people about the economy as those same people couldn’t afford the same amount of groceries anymore definitely hurt them. Allowing Republicans to scapegoat trans people and Kamala not even saying the word trans throughout the campaign, allowing the other side to control the messaging surrounding the issue isn’t likely to have earned them any votes.
But pointing these things out to Democratic cult members to yourself is tantamount to heresy because you’ve lost any iota of self reflection. You don’t care that Democrats are Republican-light. In fact, you probably think that’s a good thing.
Newsflash: the antidote to fascism is not liberalism. It is economic populalism. Democrats can’t afford to keep backing capitalism if they ever want to win again. Democrats got us into this mess, they aren’t the ones who were ever going to save us.
Do you realize that compared to 2020, Dems lost more voters than the total amount of third party voters in ‘24? By about 3 times. It made 0 difference. Those voters exercised their constitutional right to vote for the party they thought best represented them. What right do you have to demand they vote democrat instead?
It is the responsibility of the party to win the votes, not the responsibility of the voter to support “their team.” You coming on here and attacking people for not wanting to further entrench the oligarchy’s grip on our society is precisely the divide and conquer effect I’m talking about. I get that you’re upset because of how things are going, but you have to realize that demanding something different is our only way out of this mess.
No amount of side-stepping your refusal to do a simple thing like voting is going to absolve you of your responsibility in helping get trump elected.
Regardless of how you twist things around, you’re not the victim here. You’re the cause.
All of America is the victim here, but somehow dimwits like you think it’s the fault of individual voters instead of our shared responsibility to demand better from our politicians. The DNC is responsible for winning votes, period. And they failed miserably.
Anyway you’re obviously rage baiting at this point. Do better, demand better, and maybe there’s a chance to turn things around.
They protest voter said, in a conversation that is calling them out for their responsibility in helping get trump elected.
I did better kiddo. You shit the bed.
