YOU DON'T MATTER

You Don’t Matter: The Truth Behind Trump’s Legislative Wrecking Ball

At this very moment, Congress is voting on what Donald Trump is proudly calling his “big, beautiful” legislative package, a sweeping, calculated disaster cloaked in patriotic language and populist theater. But beneath the surface, it is nothing less than a brutal betrayal of the American people.

You don’t matter.
Not if you’re working-class.
Not if you rely on public healthcare.
Not if you’re raising children, caring for an aging parent, or just trying to get by.
You. Do. Not. Matter.

This legislation, crafted by the Heritage Foundation, backed by billionaires, and rubber-stamped by sycophants, is not policy. It is plunder. It is a roadmap for locking in the privileges of the wealthy elite while gutting what little is left of the American social contract. If passed, these laws and changes will outlive Trump’s presidency and become embedded in the country's legal infrastructure, extremely difficult to reverse, and nearly impossible to repair.

Here’s what’s really in the package:

• Tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy, permanent and deep
• Drastic reductions to Medicaid and Social Security
• Elimination of environmental regulations that protect your air and water
• Expanded religious exemptions to allow discrimination under the guise of faith
• A complete dismantling of the federal workforce, replacing civil servants with loyalists
• Defunding of public schools while redirecting funds to elite private institutions

And what do you get?

Maybe, maybe, a temporary bump in your paycheck that will vanish with the next price hike. Perhaps a vague promise of “freedom” while your local hospital shuts its doors. Maybe a job program that pays less than your bills requires and has no benefits.

If you are a MAGA supporter, this part is for you.
Even you don’t matter.

This legislation does not serve you. It will not help your town, your school, or your child. It will not save your job, reduce your rent, or lower your prescription costs. It only helps the rich stay rich, and get richer still. And you are simply the disposable fuel powering their engine.

This is the ultimate “thank you” from the man you’ve supported for years:
You don’t matter.
Your loyalty is irrelevant.
Your needs are a nuisance.

This is no longer about the party. It’s about survival. It’s about calling this moment what it is: an economic war on working people, dressed in a flag and fed to you on cable news as victory.

It is time to say no to all of it.
No to being used.
No to being silenced.
No to being lied to while your life gets harder, your care gets worse, and your dignity disappears.

This legislation must be fought piece by piece, exposed, and rejected. For what it is: a cruel monument to greed, passed on the backs of the forgotten. Of you.

Because, as long as Trump is in power, the message is the same:
You don’t matter.

But if we rise together, and vote, protest, and organize.
We can make sure they hear us.
And we can change the message to:
We matter. All of us.
