THE PAIN CREATING A NEW COALITION FOR TRUMP

[Cardinal]

Those empty shelves were during Covid when mostly lefties had everyone convinced it was the end of the ****ing world. I think it’s funny you blame Trump for what happened to the economy during Covid like we’ve all forgotten how much you actually wanted him (as much as he could) to keep things shut down much, much longer.

That's funny, because the empty shelves during 2020, the worst of the pandemic are from a time that conservatives preferred over the Biden years.

In 2023, the median incomes of Black and Latino households barely rose year-over-year, even as inflation remained high.

Is 3.0% inflation considered high? That's how much prices rose in 2023. (From August 2022 to October 2024, prices have gone up at an annual rate of 3.0%.)

Inflation was 2.9% in the summer of 2018. Was it high then? Or is 2.95% the demarcation line?

As I have stated before, I don’t blame Trump th at COVID happened or even the resulting, initial eco mix situation.

But he did mismanage the COVID response which made things worse. And his mismanagement on trying to mitigate the effects financially (note: I said mitigate not control, no prez can control the economy just mitigate its effects at best) hurt as well.

I don’t blame Trump for inflation happening, but indo blame him for not doing much to create helpful policies for Americans to get through it until things started to be better.

And no, I don’t give Biden props for making inflation better, it I do for his policies that mitigated the effects of inflation on Americans.

Because right wing propaganda about the economy is entirely dependent on whether or not you're completely full of shit. And since Republicans believe the economy was good on November 6, it means that nothing you have to say about the economy from the last four years matters. It's just bibble-babble and nobody cares.

Whatever the case, the average American worker is doing better today than even the best of the Trump years, and definitely better than 4 years ago.

So I am not sure what crazy information bubble you live that makes you think we are in this horrible situation that requires us to put some convicted felon, financial fraud, and rapist in the White House to save us.

But whatever. Here we are. The proof will be in the pudding. Here's to hoping he can deliver for you what you are looking for. Whatever it is, I am sure it will by definition be fine for you. In fact, it looks like it already is, and he's not even in office yet. Whatever floats your boat. This is still a democracy, and people get what they want, and deserve. Cheers.

Just so I understand, y’all are telling me that the experience of those who feel they’ve been struggling due to inflation aren’t real?

You need to acknowledge what it means that conservatives began to believe the economy was good on November 6. It means they were liars or their perception of reality is...malleable.

Bud, I get it. In your mind Dems have always done everything right and Repubs nothing.

So nothing I quoted in my OP is actually true? I guess that could be right. It’s from the New Yorker after all.

I didn't read them because posting them was such an obvious deflection attempt. You need to acknowledge what it means that conservatives began to believe the economy was good on November 6.

Yeah pretty much. All the evidence points to that. It's all more of a testament to the power of right wing propaganda than anything real.

This is what the airports are looking like already, and it's not even Thanksgiving weekend yet. Does this look like a country that's really worried about the price of milk?

You might as well go running around chasing after cat-eating Haitians and cancer-causing wind turbines, LOL.

More government programs are not the answer. Propping up the economy with tax money is not sustainable and just drives inflation up. A freer more competitive market would be more beneficial to more people overall.

Yes bring on the hardships for the working class and more tax cuts for the billionaires. The is the "free market" at work. Party like it's 1929!

 

[reflechissez]

What has been the Dem message on the economy according to you? What I’ve seen is how great it’s been and voters were just too stupid to recognize it.

"the" dem message? I can't control for what you've seen.

What a polite way to say they are highly susceptible to propaganda.
