Summary

The second Trump administration could dismantle key government agencies aiding working people, particularly the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

Created after the 2008 financial crisis, the CFPB has secured major consumer wins under Biden-appointed director Rohit Chopra, such as capping overdraft fees and banning excessive credit card late fees.

Trump previously weakened the agency, and his return could prioritize corporate interests.

Progressives are urged to defend the CFPB’s achievements and use its success as a rallying point in future political campaigns.

    Honestly I’d rather “forgive” the ones that didn’t vote since they outnumber the Trump supporters by quite a bit. The qanon types can eat crow from here to eternity for all I fucking care at that point, if we can get more people to actually give a fuck we won’t need those assholes.
