Another Modest Proposal – Plus What Americans Want
POST 1227
Most Important First
You MUST read Prof. Timothy Snyder’s warning, The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated). It is an urgent warning for all of us.
The Jonathan Swift Solution
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expensive. We’re paying over $28 billion per year plus another $170 billion from a bill passed in July for their president led cruelty. This is your money, honey, that we’re giving to ICE thugs in a time of reduced food availability, vastly increased unemployment, a severe housing shortage, skyrocketing healthcare costs and more.
“Enough!” I say, There is a simple solution at hand, similar to A Modest Proposal offered bu Jonathan Swift to the people of Ireland in 1729. Trump and 4th Reichsführer Stephen Miller are sure to love this.
Instead of doing all the pesky legal things like due process that lefty vermin demand for Hispanics, whether they’re criminals or immigrants legally in this country or simply Hispanic-looking American citizens, we will arrest and slaughter them. It will be a fine start at reversing the Great Replacement of White Americans.
But slaughter isn’t enough. We must not waste. We must process the slaughtered ones like beef and feed the meat to our poor people. That will provide multiple benefits:
- We’ll get those pesky non-White Christian pretenders off our streets.
- We’ll free up housing for real Americans.
- We’ll put our legal poor to work processing the meat so they will no longer be unemployed drags on our White population.
- Our poor will be fed this new food supply and thereby avoid compromising our regular food stocks for the rest of us.
- The savings will be enormous and crime rates will plummet.
We at last will be harvesting value from those caravans of immigrants, the murderers, the rapists and the ones hauling drugs to poison real Americans whom Trump warned us about in that golden escalator moment in 2015. How very Final Solution this will be!
Once we’re done with the Browns we can harvest the Blacks, then the Jews and the Muslims. Important note*
What Real Americans Want – The Numbers**
It’s cringe worthy when any Republican or former Republican gets misty-eyed in their self-certainty and lets roll off their tongues that this is a center-right country. I’ll give them a good score for being glib, but not for being accurate. Here, updated from June 4, 2025 is truth about where we’re at.
85 – 92% of Americans believe Social Security benefits should be maintained or increased.
58 – 73% of Americans support raising (not cutting) taxes on the wealthy and big corporations.
56 – 70% of Americans want Medicare For All (MFA). Enough with the ridicule of Bernie Sanders.
63% of Americans believe abortion should be legal.
52 – 63% of Americans believe automatic weapons should be banned.***
56 – 60% of Americans want stricter gun laws.
70 – 85% of Americans want strong red flag laws to keep guns out of the hands of abusers.
67% of Americans want the minimum wage to be $15/hour.
74% of Americans want Dreamers to have legal status in the U.S.
62 – 66% of Americans believe medication abortion should be legal.
82% of Americans want Medicaid to either stay the same or increase.
63 – 67% of Americans oppose ICE raids in schools and places of worship.
80% of Americans support maintaining or increasing SNAP (food stamp) benefits.
75 – 90% of Americans oppose redistricting (gerrymandering) for political advantage.
When asked if they’re righties or lefties, millions of Americans claim to be conservatives – center-right or even more to the right. But when they’re asked specifically about their views on the issues above, they respond just as you see – like progressives. That’s why conservative blabbers really should stuff a sock in it. Their center-right claim just isn’t true.
If We The People want these things – and we’ve wanted them for a very long time – how come we don’t have them? Click here for the answer.
About the Kids Who Sat At The Back of the Classroom Shooting Spitballs Instead of Paying Attention
.
30% of Americans believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump but have no – zero – evidence for their belief. ZERO!
35% of Americans cannot name the 3 branches of government.
26% of Americans believe the sun orbits the Earth.

There will be no Blue Light Special to save us from the craziness on the cheap. This is going to cost our blood, sweat and tears. And it is a challenge worthy of America.
4 – 10% of Americans believe the Earth is flat. *****
27% of Americans distrust science.
The roughly 30% who are spitballers blindly follow Trump and they say and believe preposterous things. But many of them align with the list above of What Real Americans Want, even as they mindlessly continue to believe they are righties and continue to shoot spitballs.
If we want something better, like the center-left policies listed above, we’ll have to do something different, like elect Democrats to power who will get off their timid, boring, lazy butts and craft a comprehensive, audacious plan for We The People to get what we want.**** To that point, click to Ben Cominos’ post,
Project 2029: The Blueprint the Left Has Been Too Afraid to Write
.
It will take generations to fix the damage we’ve allowed to be done by our self-serving cowards and hypocrites who cower before bullies and debase themselves to lobbyists. And we’ve been let down – harmed, really – by the willful indifference of the over 90 million eligible voters whose butts remain on their couches every election.
Now is the best time to start the clean-up of the terrible Republican mess in Aisle 2025.
The Department of Hope
If we are to have hope for a better tomorrow we must stop wringing our hands. We have to reach down and grab our grit and use it to attack what deserves to be attacked. It’s time to speak the truth about America and Americans and demand the America We The People want. You know: center-left. That fight is what gives us hope. Plan the work. Work the plan.
Every day in every way, punch the bully in the nose and demand Project 2029 from the Democrats. Maybe then enough people will vote for them and we can start to get what we want.
Don’t back down. Don’t ever back down.

Update to Post 1226: Feel Better Now?
Americans are facing imminent food and healthcare shortages, loan defaults and other sufferings. Tens of thousands of federal workers are being forced to work for no pay. Even as that happens, federal legislators are receiving full pay for not doing their jobs and the President of the United States is receiving full pay while expanding his grift and graft. In addition,
ICE THUGS CONTINUE TO RECEIVE FULL PAY
FOR DOING THEIR CRUELTY AND BRUTALITY.
.
Betcher not feeling better about that.
__________________________________________________
* This section is satire; i.e. not a real recommendation. It is an exaggeration in all ways to highlight the brutality that is our every day lived experience. In that way it is like Jonathan Swift’s original essay. Go read it – both links.
This writer and this vehicle DO NOT advocate and specifically oppose and reject cruelty, violence, murder, cannibalism, forced labor and other forms of official policy savagery. No person, whether or not holding the legal right to be in the United States either temporarily or conditionally, or being a citizen of the United States should be subjected to discrimination of any kind other than for specific, fact-based suspicion of criminality. and then only meted out with proper restraint and with the full due process of law.
** I once again looked up all the numbers presented here and easily found them from reputable sources with a simple search, “What percentage of Americans want . . . ” There are many reports on each of these topics, so some variation in the percentages can be found, but none that challenge the meaning of what is presented here.
*** In the wake of every mass shooting (think: Sandy Hook; Parkland; Topps Supermarket; Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Music Festival; Emanuel AME Church; Tree of Life Synagogue; Tucson-Giffords; etc.) the percentage of Americans who want automatic weapons, large capacity magazines, bump stocks and silencers to be banned goes up to 80-92%.
**** Gallup reports that approval of Congress is roughly 38%. That means that over 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of our Congress. 54 – 60% of us disapprove of the job Trump is doing. Why in the world should we tolerate such horrid job performance? Fire these guys!
***** For those who have forgotten history, John Glenn was the first American to orbit Earth. That was only possible because the Earth isn’t flat. It’s round. Really.
Goes fast, doesn’t it?
