Look, I get that people can vote any way they choose, and it’s not for me, or anyone for that matter, to pass judgement on the decisions of others. But, and it’s a big BUT, I just don’t get, for the life of me, what people think Trump is going to do to make their lives better. He’s going to do great things for big business and for billionaires, that’s it. If you’re not in one of those categories, all bets are off. He’s not going to help the middle class or, better yet, the lower class that is struggling minute to minute. He’s inheriting a strong economy and there’s no telling what it’s going to look like 2 or 4 years from now. I don’t know, I almost agree with what Tim said in that we should just let shit happen and watch them suffer. It boggles the mind to think that 70 million Americans think this is the better way.
One thing I was taught in rural Mississippi as a kid was that a rich person is never going to do anything to help you. I don't know why people aren't still learning that.
Sorry, no they don't "think" this is the better way, they heard him say over and over that he is the only one who can fix it, which they understood to mean their lives, so they put their X there. Repetition is the mother of retention.
Ok, but I’m assuming if he was going to fix it for the worst they wouldn’t have checked that box. So the flip side is they feel he’s going to make it better. Yet he provided no plan whatsoever as to how he would do that. Still makes no sense to me.
Nice of you to pick up on that. Makes my day!! Thanks. Of course, you will have to deal with the dog-lovers faction, of which, e.g., my sister is one....
They were wronged by price and interest rate inflation, as well as an unstable southern border situation. They exacted their retribution a week ago. And now the instrument of retribution will put them in the crossfire of his own personal retribution.
Once they see the inflation that goes along with his "policy" that they all seem to mention, not to mention the tarrifs lol. It'll suck, cuz of course, we'll all suffer, but I'm guessing it'll be rationalized. SAD! /s
Saw an interview on CNN today with a Dem talking about the fact that the Harris campaign didn't do a good enough job of touting the bills passed by the Biden administration that are helping and continue to help the middle class.
I have to agree. The other thing I would add is that for every day of the campaign....they should have splashed a headline from 4 years ago displaying for everyone with a brain...how the country wasn't better 4 years ago. You know why it would work? Because it's the damn truth...we were in the midst of a pandemic with the economy shutdown and tens of thousands cases of Covid a day with emergency rooms flooded with people in respiratory distress.
The Harris campaign....as much as they did right...allowed Trump to take the narrative that he was better for the economy and times were better with him at the helm.
For better or worse, a modern-day president must be the salesperson-in-chief, due to the noise level caused by internet communications and social media. Joe Biden was the polar opposite of that. The communication problem began long before Kamala Harris was nominated.
I guess that it's hard to look at the pandemic as not being better off since half the country believes it was a hoax. Remember the piece on the woman who was dying, on a respirator in the hospital being told that she had covid and still wouldn't believe it!? That was 4 years ago. Remember the accusations that the death toll was exaggerated? Or, they were older and an already vulnerable part of the population who would have died anyway? This is not a short memory, but never having acknowledged that it was even happening at the time, outside of the left trying to make trump look bad on his response to covid. This truly was a long term chipping away at the American psyche and I am not a conspiracy theorist but Putin and the USSR won. All my former colleagues, ex-military, oath taking Americans were turned.
The level of misinformation, and just plain making shit up, is staggering. It’s sad that some follow blindly. Funny that I heard yesterday, hell maybe it was here, that the most googled phrase over the last week is “ what is a tariff”? If that’s accurate, and I don’t know if it is or isn’t, then we’re in trouble🤪.
I went to a good HS. Graduated in 1966. They always told us that it was in the top 5 academically in the country. I had 0 interest in learning and was a "comportment" problem. I still learned despite myself. I read books, literature, from an early age. I knew how to use a dictionary and an encyclopedia. I Was interested in "Social Studies" but not math. Had high academic achievers for parents. My dad was a phi beta kappa. As 1966 approached my friends and I, tending toward "hippy" did not see where a college degree would have any currency in the new world order. Non the less, I went to college and despite all the things that I had, things that would have been diagnosed and treated today, ADD and Hyper this and hyper that, I knew what a Tariff was and ended up an Airline pilot. The important missing ingredient, the thing that I did not have was internet access. My 36 year old daughter also just missed it. We got her some "brick" of a cell phone in HS "for emergencies" and I remember finally caving and getting "cable" for internet access. She, as an IB (International Baccalauréat) student, could not get her homework and research done on a 56 bit phone modem. So, there ya go. As Marshall McLuhan said "the medium is the message." Look it up trumpers. You've been had. Here's a summary "if it's on the internet it must be true and good." Oh, or "Alternative" non MSM news sources too. PS, My daughter is not only a pretty good orchestra level violinist, but also holds a Phd. in, of all things, Literature. Again trump voters, look it up. It has to do with books and learning.
Harris could have shouted from all the roof tops in the US and it wouldn't have been heard above the misinformation coming from rightwing outlets. I was informed over the weekend that Trump can't wreck the economy because we are already in a depression. I was WTF? This came from a college educated female white retiree living in AZ.
Not sure I’m in agreement with that comment, that it’s the better way. We can agree to disagree. I’ve not seen any evidence that Harris was looking to turn kids into anything. The fact that Trump was actually saying kids are getting sex change surgery at school was probably the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. What’s even scarier is that there’s probably more than a few people that believed it.
Yeah, people believed that about sex change surgery at school. Schools can give a student a band-aid and a cold compress and call the parent, period. Of course the same people believe that humans can control the weather.

Not even the concepts of a plan.
Robert, I never said supporting the Decaying Orange Guy made sense. As a practical matter, I'm not sure how much sense lemmings have, anyway....🙄😵
Love the “decaying orange guy” moniker. I think I’m going to just start referring to him as the DOG.😂😂😂😂
Nice of you to pick up on that. Makes my day!! Thanks. Of course, you will have to deal with the dog-lovers faction, of which, e.g., my sister is one....

For some people a few crumbling bricks isn't a cause for concern, the whole Fricken wall has to come down on their heads.
It's about punishing the people you don't like, the people you think are unjustly getting ahead. That's the big benefit for many.
You underestimate the power of "For those who have been wronged, I will be your retribution."
They were wronged by price and interest rate inflation, as well as an unstable southern border situation. They exacted their retribution a week ago. And now the instrument of retribution will put them in the crossfire of his own personal retribution.

True, but not the only reason we are up sh-- creek without a paddle.

Well, she is right in one respect. Many of us are in a depression, and it is not based on an economy in depression, which it isn't.
Wow
Oh, I can pass judgements aplenty. I just can't enforce any of them.
It's better than giving power to a woman. She will groom all our kids to become trans.
I hope this was "tongue in cheek" rhetoric!
🤣
I hope you’re being sarcastic.
Having seen Old's previous comments, I am confident this is sarcasm y'all.
Are you being literal or sarcastic here?
I was just quoting the media meme. The ad showing Harris supporting trans surgery in prison was deemed very effective.
Sorry Old, didn’t know you were being sarcastic 😁.
You don’t live with me.
No, I don’t live with you. But I do live with me
Sarcasm is going to be a necessity for survival in the coming years

All of those surgeons working in thousands of schools will have to find other work.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She was being facetious.
Yeah, people believed that about sex change surgery at school. Schools can give a student a band-aid and a cold compress and call the parent, period. Of course the same people believe that humans can control the weather.
Human?? Are you calling MTG that??
Your school got band-aids? Damn, some people out here flaunting their elite status. /s
Don't forget Jewish Space Lasars!
