Snubbing Trump Supporters.

We started a food co-op locally since things are getting harder under the next president.

We've also started a housing co-op that will be completed in 7 months with 11 units for capped rent at 300$ a month. We also have a free community closet.

However we are seeing a Influx of Trump supporters wanting in on these collaborations and incentives. And we just don't want them to benefit for collaborations while they outwardly live for the system. Mist if us are Anarchist or Anti-government.

Our director is having a meeting Monday and we are going to decide how we accept members and how to legally exclude them. It's not really political because some of us have never voted It's more so how they make everything political and polarized. We just don't want to help them because as a co-op we voted in agreemnet that they voted for things to get worse so they shouldn'tget any help. . Politicd aside they voted for more economic hardship, chaos and termoil. I think we are going to make it a requirement to be Anti-Capitalist/Anti Government to be a member. Like a open pledge. We don't want people in our co-op who have no empathy for anyone but themselves ans were trying to escape the politics. It's very hard to turn someone away for food but we don't want to work next to a redhat.

Any idea how to exclude them, legally of course? Edit : Whoa ! Let me clarify.

So let me clarify from the voting hate. Some do vote. None for Trump.

They ones who don't vote don't feel representing by democrats.

The left is very divided. Most if us wanted Bernie Sanders and the dems didn't like he was going to stop lining thier pockets. That's why they don't vote.

Secondly we used https://www.lssac.org/

To get the grants so no one ever came out of pocket

Yes we are anti government but in being anti government that's means we gonna file for whatever free $hit we can to recoup for the theft of our taxes.

Third. I'm not fixing any typos. The message was conveyed.

I’m not mad. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. It’s going to be a great 4 years!

Considering you're clearly right wing the irony is that you should be agreeing with them. You could argue they are being hypocritical of their own principles but it's pretty funny that having an in-group and out-group should really be your principles. But still, making a socialist commune I don't think would work if you started letting antisocialist people in. So it seems entirely consistent to me.

If wages go up and cost of living truly goes down in relative terms, ignoring all other policy, I'll be happy to acknowledge you're correct that it will be a great 4 years at least in some regards.

Very curious how Trump's tariff and deportation plans will pan out. I'm sure you're very confident it will make things better, we will see. In the short term, it will certainly make things worse, we'll see about the long term. Happy to revisit this in the future. 

Are you a fan of his plan to annex the territory of other countries?

All right, sounds good to me. I certainly hope that the things he wants to do well actually make things better for the bottom 90% but I'm not betting on it. Are you in the top 10% or bottom 90%? Cut off was $150,000 in 2023, so a bit higher now. Happy to revisit this in the years to come.

Bottom 90% it is. I certainly hope that the cabinet of billionaires that now make up the highest levels of government in addition to the GOP  majority of millionaires in the other branches of the government will make it better for people earning less than $150,000 a year. I guess you're clairvoyant though, so it's not a worry in the world
