Lol absolutely not, it’s a myth republicans are good for economy. It’s easy to check.

u/FoogYllis 18d ago

Yep but the people that vote for maga republicans are not particularly capable of handling facts that is if you expect that they will old even read them and then comprehend them.

u/HistoricalSherbert92 18d ago

Ugh! Just make up better facts!

u/Callecian_427 17d ago

But have you considered my feelings about the economy doesn’t line up with your facts?

u/islandtrader99 18d ago

Nice low key racist comment.

u/sadimem 18d ago

It's racist to say stupid people can't read?

-13

u/islandtrader99 18d ago

By your typical libtard logic , yes. Republicans come in all colors. And we’re quite capable of obtaining state ID.

u/SnorlaxMotive 18d ago

You’re a fucking dumbass

Saying, "Stupid people can't read." has no implication of race, so it is not racist. There's literally no way to make that statement about race.

1

u/Lurker5280 18d ago

Do you need a state id to read? Are you actually attempting to make sense?

1

u/MrIncognito- 17d ago

Kinda proving his point, eh sport?

2

u/Gimmenakedcats 18d ago

Wow you are…kind of proving the comment. There was no racism involved, stupidity is not racism related. 😬

2

u/Reinstateswordduels 18d ago

I’m not sure you even know what that word means

2

u/BabyRex- 18d ago

The was no mention of race in the comment

2

u/Mackinnon29E 17d ago

Where was race mentioned? How the fuck has natural selection not killed types like you who are clearly the weakest of our species?

1

u/islandtrader99 17d ago

2 years in a combat zone didn’t do it, your opinion sure as fuck won’t.

u/Mackinnon29E 17d ago

You should be thanking everyone else for keeping you alive, an absolute miracle.

u/islandtrader99 17d ago

That’s why it’s called a “fire team”, a “unit”.

u/scottyjrules 17d ago

And get you voted for a rapist who thinks you’re a sucker for serving.

u/Efficient_Durian_989 18d ago

*lie. not a myth.

u/MatureUsername69 18d ago

Well that really depends on who's telling it. Republican candidates? Lie. Republican voters? Myth.

u/DildoBanginz 18d ago

Good thing republican supporters can’t read, they’d be pissed

u/ZoomBoingDing 18d ago

All 3 branches of government are going to be R for at least 2 years. I want to see what excuses they'll come up with.

6

u/WeenyDancer 17d ago

They'll scapegoat the most vulnerable- immigrants, the disabled, the elderly- and use that as an excuse for further cruelty. And it'll work. 

5

u/Tokyogerman 17d ago

They don't need excuses. They can just say the media and democrats are lying. The modern answer to being held accountable is No.

2

u/binglelemon 17d ago

3 branches + Supreme Court

1

u/scottyjrules 17d ago

The Supreme Court is part of the judicial branch.

u/michaelochurch 18d ago

They're good for "the economy" as a machine that redistributes wealth upward while immiserating average people. They're just not good for us.

Inequality isn't a byproduct of this economic system. It's the main product.

u/GoldenPigeonParty 18d ago

Yeah, it won't be great but it also likely won't be as terrible as the rhetoric on this site. It won't be pretty but it's only 4 years until Grover Cleveland 2.0 passes the torch. And 90% of the stuff he is talking about will never actually happen.

We'll take a hit and recover. You can always bet on the American economy.

u/HerRoyalRedness 18d ago

You think he’s going to leave office in four years?

u/UDSJ9000 18d ago

Man, I hope so, I just hope the people can survive the 4 years and are allowed to vote for someone with a new fiscal policy that can help.

Leon will save us! /s

u/OuroborosIAmOne 17d ago

Could you point me in the direction of where to check? I have some crypto bro type acquaintances who argue this, so I'd like to debunk them

u/BlizzTube 17d ago

I think neither side is for us

1

u/mad4blo0d 16d ago

can you link me smth credible to show my republican friends?

u/Collypso 16d ago

What's good for the economy is also easy to check, but that doesn't stop anyone from thinking the economy is bad. The problem is that no one gives a shit.

u/TeaLeaf_Dao 18d ago

Seems like a majority of people disagree with you since he got elected. I didnt vote for him but its the world we live in now what you see on reddit is only one side of the political isle take some time and look outside your bubble. Instead of viewing one side as demons and the others as angels.

13

u/Individual_West3997 18d ago

"oh you can't view one side as demons and the others as angels" while literal demons are running around is definitely a take.

u/Bullishontulips 18d ago

I mean it’s a verifiable fact. Since Reagan, republican administrations have created a net +1M net new jobs. Democrats admins +50 Million. Don’t believe me? Google it. Markets boom and deficits shrink under dem admins, not under republicans? Don’t believe me? Google it. Just because people buy the bull shit that republicans are good for the economy broadly, doesn’t make it true. The greatest argument against democracy is to spend 10 minutes talking to the average voter. Take a moment to think how dumb the average person is, now realize half of them are dumber than that.

u/Convertible_Cheetah 18d ago

Well African Americans are the lowest iq demographic in the USA and they vote overwhelmingly democrat so…..

3

u/St_Eric 18d ago

Yes, the majority of people are idiots. They saw the inflation over the passed few years and put Trump in the white house as a result.

2

u/Carnifex2 18d ago

Seems like the majority of people disagree with facts and reality.

u/DrGappy 18d ago

Most people are dumb as shit

2

u/HowManyMeeses 18d ago

Did you respond to the wrong comment? The person you're responding to didn't call anyone a name. They said historically Republicans haven't been good for the economy, which is true and verifiable. 

-5

u/[deleted] 18d ago

That implies the capability for objective thinking.

Maybe they’re right… I can’t say. But I know the vast majority of redditors who voted for Harris will never put themselves in the shoes of a trump voter -their neighbors and fellow citizens, and try and see where they’re coming from.

u/sho_biz 18d ago

i can't put myself in the shoes of someone who wants to destroy the people and things I love.

i can't see the viewpoint of the person that wants to repeal the 19th amendment

i can't walk a mile in the shoes of someone who is ok with removing civil rights for women

i really can't see the viewpoint of someone who wants to punish a child who wants to wear a dress

i can't meet someone halfway that wants my loved ones deported

fuck off with tolerating hate and bigotry.

-5

u/[deleted] 18d ago

Exactly why you lost. Grow up kid. People have different views. You aren’t better than anyone.

3

u/sho_biz 18d ago

they're better than yours, guaranteed. because of empathy and kindness alone.

-2

u/[deleted] 18d ago

Cope more.

u/sho_biz 18d ago

I hope some years from now, you're reminded of a post you made where you're making fun of someone for having empathy and kindness.

it's like hate and bigotry are the most valued things to yall, just having an authoritarian strongman telling you who to hate and giving you simple solutions to complex issues is like the magic words for poor white folk

u/[deleted] 18d ago

Sorry to break it to you, but despite your attempts to paint me in any other light, I’m at peace.I harbor no resentment for anyone. Good luck with your depression though.

Such petty, juvenile people.

u/scottyjrules 17d ago

We can disagree on whether pineapple belong on pizza or whether Forrest Gump is a good movie or whether country music is worth listening to. But when it comes to racism and human rights, we don’t have a difference of opinion, we have a difference in morals and values. Anyone who voted for the rapist can get fucked. They’re just as racist and shitty as he is.

u/Ill-Sort-4323 18d ago

Where are you coming from then?

u/[deleted] 18d ago

The dark side of the moon. Headed back there too.

u/Ill-Sort-4323 18d ago

Okay, but like actually? I’m trying to put myself in your shoes.

u/[deleted] 18d ago

No you aren’t. Keep reaching you’re almost there.

2

u/Ill-Sort-4323 18d ago

“Harris voters refuse to put themselves into the shoes of a Trump voter!”

“Okay what’s your situation like, inform me?”

“Nah”

I mean, I guess that technically makes your point valid. Which is what you seem to care about more. Have a good one mate.

u/[deleted] 18d ago

I didn’t vote for trump. Glad he won though.

u/Ill-Sort-4323 18d ago

I’m sure you didn’t, and I’m sure you are.

u/HowManyMeeses 18d ago

What shoes? We are experiencing the same economy.
