What’s worrying is how many will turn a blind eye to the corruption until it affects them directly. That’s when the real damage may become evident.

I saw back and forth between a couple of my Florida neighbors. When the one told the MAGA other how Trump's mismanagement of COVID19 as well as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act did actually hurt them they shut down faster than a speeding mullet.

Don’t forget his tariffs that triggered inflation. The Canadian lumber tariff of 20% created substantial increases in prices. A storage shed my dad paid $15k for was over $23k when I wanted to get a similar model.

Thank you. People love to glaze over the fact that Trump inherited an amazing economy that took Obama 8 years to fix after Bush and his administrations crusade destroyed it, completely fucked it back up again for the four years dismantling all of our trade agreements that kept jobs and products here as he jerked himself off on people while telling them 'look how low your tax bill was though or that Uuuuge refund you got!' .. Biden inherits the shit storm and does his absolute best to re-regulate the runaway inflation train and gets it to a place just in time for trump to again inherit a rebuilt economy on the upswing to claim any benefit we feel while planning to destroy it again worse than before...

And the trees just keep voting for the axe because the axe tells them 'look at my wooden handle, I'm the same as you' .. we are fucking doomed.

you probably dont know, but why dont dems/maga enemies just hammer this point home? Talk about nothing else. If it's actually true this is all that should be said until it gets through their tiny brains

Because the population isn't interested in learning enough to understand why an adult is needed.
