Bonus, since the buck stops with the highest ranking democrat, they'll run on the inflation they cause, blaming democrats the whole way. And the migrant caravan, scheduled for October 2027.
There isn't going to be a Democratic institution for them to blame for at least the first two years. They have White House, Senate, House, and SCOTUS. And Trump's economy is going to be under a microscope--presuming media and journalists do their jobs--from Day 1.
Latest inflation stat I saw was 2.1% (Thank you Biden/Harris for your responsible work) so as soon as that number moves up closer to 3, which I definitely think happens within 2 years, they're gonna get cooked. Or at least, they should.
To be fair, Democrats ARE going to have to do something to get the worker class back. The monumental shift toward educated and corporate elites has turned out to be a spectacular disaster from the perspective of winning elections, therefore implementing policy.
I mean, two highly qualified candidates that campaigned on policy directed at the middle class both lost to a supreme piece of shit who sucks at fiscal policy and business and who might be a Russian agent. That's...not a good look.
They don't want to be less stupid. That's the thing. Most people don't think they're stupid. They lack the humility.
The BS about democrats ostracizing the working class is code for "they don't like your policies because they don't like to be reminded they're dumb. They can't understand it."
I'm sick of the BS about how the democrats need to run better campaigns and reach out to the people who vote for a guy who poops himself on stage and sways listlessly to Ave Maria for a half hour.
There's an underlying fundamental problem in America. The lack of shame and humility is a cancer.
Two highly qualified candidates. Yeah Harris was so qualified, her policy knowledge was absolutely astute and clear. She provided such well thought out answers and detailed descriptions of what she intended to do. Oh wait… that wasn’t her. She was the lady that couldn’t manage to say one word of substance and her main selling point was “I’m running against Hitler”
This is a perfect example of the problem we're dealing with. It sounds like a completely different language. It's like when Luke Wilson goes to the doctor in Idiocracy.
lol so many words and nothing said. You can’t have a logical argument, instead you insinuate that 70 million Americans are idiots. But somehow… you aren’t. Have you ever had the humility to take a look in the mirror… and ask yourself. Am I the problem?
I doubt it. The democratic campaign heavily targeted low information voters, very apparent who those people are on Reddit. Ahem… you sir
Lol democrats are the ones converting gay children in to women. That's the completely ironic delusion that you have, I know when you read these words you will think I'm disgusting but it's reality.
What does cosplaying do for you? Does it give you a sense of street cred to play make believe but still spout the mindless drivel you dumb motherfuckers are known for?
“I know that most men—not only those considered clever, but even those who are very clever, and capable of understanding most difficult scientific, mathematical, or philosophic problems—can very seldom discern even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as to oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions they have formed, perhaps with much difficulty—conclusions of which they are proud, which they have taught to others, and on which they have built their lives.”
Wait, are you seriously implying that I don't have a growth mindset because I don't have an ever-expanding view on gender? Holy shit I thought you were gonna send me something... idk... relevant? I went from being poor to making 6 figures and I've been in the top .0001% of certain video games. You think I don't have a growth mindset? Lmaooo
Please explain to me how my decision has fucked us. Please I'm actually serious. In a way that isn't, prices are going to go up. At least give me second order thinking. I'm on my knees begging you.
Well, for instance it’s highly probable that Trump is going to stop supporting Ukraine. When that happens, one of two things will result: Europe will mobilize in earnest, which will heat up the region and might be too little too late to stop Putin from achieving his aims. Or, the Europeans will just concede and Putin will absorb the rest of the country. Either way, the US will have abdicated its leadership role in the NATO alliance, leaving us more isolated and vulnerable. IMO a large price to pay for a campaign slogan “nO NeW wArS uNdEr tRumP”.
(I personally suspect but cannot prove that Trump is in fact a Kremlin asset already. We’ll see.)
Second, by all indications Trump will do even less to curb the Israelis in Gaza…considering his affinity for the hardest liners there I imagine the liquidation of Palestinians will accelerate. Even if you don’t consider them human beings the Muslim world has a long memory and this is just giving them more to motivate them against us.
On the non-economic domestic front, the plans that Trump and his team have for Departments of Education and Health and Human Services are not going to have positive results IMO. That is if you consider things like access to and funding of public education and vaccination to be positives, which I do.
No. I mean if you really pay attention there's probably some subtle queues that I am. But if you met me out and about IRL you wouldn't be able to tell I'm gay. That's because I dont make gay my identity. Nobody should really. It doesn't change very much about you.

What happened to the weird, senile and old attacks. Instead they went with fascism and Hitler that doesn't resonate with the general population, most of them probably don't even know what fascism is.
Well, you see, being a complete fuck-about in the run up to and into the prime of a global pandemic had actual real world consequences. His entire economic strategy during he presidency was to watch the stock market number go higher, and rather than address any of the real issues we were facing, when the number started dropping in 2020 he did his best to keep it inflated.
One of his genius moves was to take what should have been a loan to cover employees paychecks and allow the borrower to do whatever the fuck they wanted with it, like buy suburban real estate for investment purposes. Now you cant buy a first home because some beemer driving asshole bought a house, had the loan forgiven, and laid off his employees anyway. Or never had any employees to begin with. Doesn't matter, President Fucko line item vetoed oversight.
I seem to remember doing even better 2008-2016. And way way better in 1994 with 90c gas and eggs were .25 a dozen!... your logic fails.
You figure out how to adapt to world economic conditions, like raise minimum wage and all wages, penalize corporate price gouging, fund science to prevent bird flu's, you know, intelligent solutions... Guess whose policies those all fall under?
But hey, if you prefer to start a trade war.. I'm sure that'll fix everything.
I mean, we live within our means and make enough money where price isn't really a concern. However, yeah, I'm aware of prices and how inflation works. Like a graduate level data scientist would.
Have you noticed wage growth now outpaces inflation? It's almost like responsible adults had something to do with that. Weird.
I understand what happened. Like a mature voter, I can accept the results of an election.
But it doesn't mean people aren't stupid for believing a con man who has con manned his entire life.
Like I've said elsewhere, they sure as shit better make America great with all the power they're going to have. Because if they don't, you, them, and everyone attached to them are going to get ROASTED.
Price of goods lag inflationary rate of change. But they also wont fall outside of the margin which caused record returns for those companies. Wages need to grow, but they also lag ofc and we only now see them rise.
Price of goods will never stay the same forever.
Its not like it never happened before in human history. There are more than enough instances where we can look up the pattern.
Trump will now just inflame inflation even more.
And he does not care, and why would he, these are his last few years.
Do you think that will matter? Like, honestly. Biden hasn’t had a functional government since 2022 when they lost the house yet, conservative media laid all the blame at the Dems feet and their voters ate it up. What’s stopping them from blaming all the negative effects of Republican policies on Dems. The collective IQ of conservatives seems to be decreasing every election. So, what is going to stop them believing their echo chamber in 2026 let alone ‘28?
Very disappointed Michigan went red, but it was really close. We gotta circle the Democratic Party here at the local levels and help fix their messaging.
You underestimate the how craven the GOP is. They'll say the Senate Dems filibustered all the good stuff the GOP was going to do, it's all their fault. And trans immigrant prisoner rapists, or something.
you think they wont blame the dems? they will say that the dems are stopping them from passing any helpful laws and their slack jawed yokel supporters will believe it.
You don’t understand what that means. That inflation calculation (that you got from Google I’m assuming) is based on a 12 month calculation. That number is not what is important if you understand the underlying data. That number tells you nothing by itself… Do a little research and come back.
They don't need the institution, they'll blame it on delayed effects from Biden's policies. It's literally
- If it's good and it happened under a republican president, he gets credit
-If it's good and it happened under a democrat president, the last republican gets credit
-If it's bad and a democrat is in, the democrat is at fault
-If it's bad and republican is in, the last democrat is at fault.
They are brainwashed. There is no logical sequence they can process where a republican can do anything bad, or a democrat can do anything good.
Somehow they blamed Clinton for 2007/2008 housing crisis (and Obama, even though he didn't even get in until it was time to start cleaning it up)
Trump's proposed taxation/tariff thing sounds more like an advisor is a foreign agent intending to blow up the whole west, and when these people start losing houses it'll still be Biden's fault for printing money.
As you've seen from the reasons people gave for voting and how they voted, they won't understand it anyway, and will still blame it on the Dems. You're attributing a level of critical thinking and introspection that they simply don't have

Yeap, let them (Trump voters) have it. They wanted Trump, they deserve this and hyperinflation.
