THIRD TERM? Well, Surprise, Surprise: All This for the Price of Eggs

Eggs in our face! Here we are. Who would’ve thought?

Talking about the price of eggs, you know…how prices were “too high” although we were still under his tax plans?  Well now, Dictat…we mean “President” Trump entered into a new arena that no one ever thought he’d be bold enough to do

Oh wait—we did. You know, that quiet moment when Trump slyly hinted about sticking around for another term and everyone laughed it off as impossible?

Joke’s on us. Because now we’ve got Rep. Andy Ogles proposing a bill to amend the 22nd Amendment, paving the way for Trump to become the Forever President.

But here’s the kicker: the bill includes a special clause ensuring Barack Obama can never run again. Yes, while rewriting the Constitution, they made sure to add a petty, targeted rule to prevent a Black man from returning to the White House. Stay classy.

And let’s not forget, Trump did say that when he’s in office, Americans won’t have to vote again. Subtle, right?

And before you cheer, let’s take a moment. Think about everything we’ve lost in the first 72 hours of this administration’s latest antics. You didn’t have to look far—the ink barely dried before the carnage began.

The funny thing is, some of you are thrilled about the idea of a third term. But let me ask you: Are you thrilled enough to lose your own livelihood for it? Or is this just about waving a flag and yelling “freedom” while the government quietly takes yours away?

Now, let’s break down everything else that’s being dismantled while you were busy clapping.

Remember: It Was Never About the Eggs

Oh yes, let’s revisit that genius argument: “Biden made eggs too expensive!” As if one man is responsible for global inflation. But now, some of you are finally admitting that the eggs were just a cover. It was never about groceries; it was about preserving the white race.

Congratulations, you played yourself. Because guess what? Racism isn’t just ugly; it’s expensive. And now you’re finding out exactly how much it costs. Spoiler alert: it’s more than $3.99 a dozen.

What We’ve Lost in Three Days

Let’s take a victory lap around what we’ve sacrificed, shall we? In just three days:

  1. Social Services Were Axed
    Programs like SNAP and Medicaid? Vanishing faster than your cousin’s “Patriot” bumper sticker after the midterms. According to CBPP (that’s the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities for those keeping track), these cuts will hit rural areas and poor communities the hardest. Yes, that includes the same red counties where folks lined up for Trump rallies and waved Confederate flags. Karma, thy name is fiscal policy.
  2. Censorship Hit New Heights
    While you’re busy banning books and muzzling teachers for daring to talk about history, keep this in mind: ignorance isn’t free. According to Education Week, laws targeting discussions of racism and inequality have left schools scrambling to teach anything remotely useful. But hey, at least you’ve shielded your kids from the horrors of the word “equity.”
  3. Voting Rights? Poof. Gone.
    Oh, you thought voter suppression was just a myth? Think again. States are implementing ID laws and limiting voting access with surgical precision (Brennan Center for Justice, 2024). And who does it hurt? Hint: It’s not just Black and Brown communities anymore. Those same policies are creeping into rural areas, too.
  4. Defunding Medical Research

    • Critical research programs tackling childhood cancer, rare diseases, and pandemic preparedness have been defunded.
    • “Gain-of-function” research, essential for studying infectious diseases, has been halted. Who needs to prepare for pandemics when we can just wing it?

Article 14: The Rulebook Trump Burned

Let’s talk about rules—specifically, the 14th Amendment. Remember when the Constitution stated that anyone involved in an insurrection (or aiding and abetting one) is barred from office? Cute, right? But here we are, pretending January 6th was just an overenthusiastic tour group.

So Trump bends the Constitution to get in, and now we’re just… letting him bend it more? Sure, why not throw out term limits while we’re at it. Who needs democracy when we’ve got fascism in a red tie?

But Wait, There’s More!

For the diehard supporters who still think this is a win: let’s take a peek into your future. Here’s what’s coming to your neighborhood soon:

  • Higher poverty rates: Because gutting welfare programs doesn’t just affect minorities—it hits poor white communities just as hard.
  • Decimated public education: Your kids will be learning from outdated textbooks while private schools thrive (and probably exclude you).
  • Job losses: Oh, you thought deregulation was good for the economy? Cute. Watch manufacturing towns shrivel while billionaires hoard their tax cuts.

Racism is Expensive

Remember that study from Citigroup in 2020? They calculated that systemic racism cost the U.S. economy $16 trillion over 20 years.

That’s trillion, with a T. Imagine what we could’ve done with that money—fixing infrastructure, funding education, creating universal healthcare. Instead, we’ve invested in division, ignorance, and policies that are literally bankrupting us.

And here’s the kicker: these policies aren’t just ruining lives in marginalized communities. They’re coming for your Social Security, your healthcare, your local school funding. Because racism doesn’t just come with a moral cost—it comes with a financial one.

So… Is It Worth It? the “Eggs”

All of this because you didn’t like the price of eggs? Because you wanted to “own the libs”? Because you thought preserving whiteness was worth the trade-off? Well, here’s the bill. Hope you’re ready to pay up.

But let me leave you with one final question: When it hits your community—when the jobs dry up, the hospitals close, the schools collapse—will you still be clapping? Or will you finally realize that your allegiance to a man, a flag, or a lie cost you more than you ever bargained for?

BUT WAIT…there’s MORE and it’s not EGGS..

All this for the price of eggs. Racism sure is expensive, isn’t it?
