Trump won in '24 because of inflation. It's that simple. People hated the economy under Biden and walked to 'go back' to the Trump years when things were better.
And Harris didn't basically told voters the economy is great let's not change a thing... and most people who weren't die hard liberal/leftists were disgusted by that because they saw prices going up and their wages staying the same.
Prices going up and wages staying the same?
The same way it's been for more than a decade?
And this is the basis that people used to justify voting for Trump?
People really are fucking stupid, aren't they?
To put it mildly.
I didn't expect to catch one in the wild, but evidently they just can't help themselves.
A decade? The last time the minimum wage increased was nearly 20 years ago.
Technically they did say βmore than a decadeβ
Bullshit. Trump won because he, Musk, and Putin rigged the election, then MAGA comedy act of Schmuck & Jeffries betrayed AMERICA, and let them get away with it, and EVERYBODY knows it.
Trump admitted as much on camera
So did Musk, and they BOTH had multiple meetings with Putin during the Biden Administration. Aren't our intelligence agencies supposed to be arresting people who are having undisclosed meetings with hostile foreign leaders? So why didn't they?
Ok.
I was talking about 2020.
The one before the one you are talking about.
Also, most 'die hard leftists' were disgusted by Kamala's pro-Genocide stance... the Dems did basically everything they possibly could to obfuscate and deny and/or justify that, leftists were fucking furious about it.
And a pretty good deal of actual leftists were saying 'all these economic numbers that politicians and the media are touting are bullshit, they're incomplete, they are not reflective of reality'.
And well now we have all the job revisions and yep that was correct, I think the BLS has now 'un addded' something like 2-3 million jobs between 2022 and present.
You're conflating liberals and leftists, which betrays that you have no idea what a leftist is.
Its liberals that fall in line with standard corporate Dem talking points.
Leftists tend to challenge and critique them.
corporate Dems have power, leftists don't, and never will because they'd rather sit around bitching and whining and agonizing about what is 'really leftist'.
Well its not like you'd have any understanding of what is or isn't really leftist.
Here's a hint:
Opposing massive government handouts to huge megacorporations.
Opposing biased legal standards and tax structures that massively favor the wealthy being able to accumulate more wealth, at the expense of the poor.
Opposing idiotic broad general tariffs that have historically and are currently exacerbating an ongoing Great Depression.
But, fascists love doing all those things, because they are economically illiterate and/or openly, brazenly corrupt.
And now, for more vocab, if you oppose these fascist policies, you are now anti-fascist, otherwise known as antifa.
But fascists cannot comprehend the idea that anyone could disagree with them, and also have the gall to continue being alive, so they label everyone who does as a terrorist, and have lately started executing such people in the street.
Who does? You? Are you the only true leftists who determines who is truly a leftist?
or is there a standardized test I have to pass? like a driver's license test?
What happens when the leftists become the fascists?
Sure, yeah, there's a test.
Papers please!
Mhm, I see, yes, voted for the child murdering rapist pedophile conman.
Ah.
Not a great look.
Anyway, you'e been expelled from the 'Leftism Understander' class due to being an obvious idiot troll, please collect your things or they will be equitably redistributed amongst the remaining students, according to their need.
so if a black single mom of 3 voted for Trump because she felt he would lower her bills, is she is a facist?
People who vote on feelings and not reality shouldnt be allowed to vote, a democracy was a mistake. Why do people who can't form complete thoughts get to vote. Why do easily manipulated ppl who never change their mind after getting new information and just double down for the rest of their life get to vote?
I can admit I would've voted for trump had I not been 17 in 2017, I can also conceptualize for me and many others who were turning 18 at the time it was because the only politician we liked was bernie and the dnc didnt fuck with him so we were like oh democrats suck. Then my opinion changed fairly fast after he was actually in office. DNC doesn't get enough blame for pushing trump thinking hed be the easier candidate to beat.
