Didn't Trump tank the economy in 2019 with his fumbling of the COVID crisis? Didn't everyone's 401ks and private portfolios get tanked, leading to trillions in bailouts and a seismic shift in the composition of the labor market thanks to the 1.1M Americans killed by the epidemic? Didn't we already have a Congo Line of Republicans insisting they'd never vote for Trump again? Didn't we have billionaire CEOs lining up to condemn him? Kicking him off social media? Refusing to hire his administration's staffers? Divorcing themselves from his businesses and denying the RNC money on his behalf?
I seem to remember something about this from back in 2020. Democrats winning in a landslide that was (numerically) larger (but delegate-wise smaller thanks to decades of unchecked gerrymandering/voter caging) than the historic 2008 landslide for Obama. Everyone coming into office on a mandate to Never Let This Happen Again. People chanting "Lock Him Up!" from left, right, and center. MAGA in full retreat. Fascism defeated. Honor and Integrity Restored To The White House.
Was that just me? Did anyone else remember something like that happening?
Now these same assholes are back whining about their 401ks getting chewed up and spat out again? Come the fuck on. I don't believe you. You're going to vote Republican the moment FOX News tells you how Woke the other side of the ballot is.
I remember him acting slowly on Covid because "he didn't want to spook the stock market", and then it tanked anyway because of his willful and criminal negligence in regards to Covid.

You have it all right except that Covid 19 happened in 2020 (at least outside of China and maybe a few early cruise ship cases?), not 2019

These people have the memory of a goldfish when voting day rolls around
But also, fuck these people. Didn’t matter that innocent citizens with no charges are getting black bagged and tossed in cells. Didn’t matter families were getting ripped apart and deported. Didn’t matter that the bigotry against trans people has ramped up to being codified in congressional fucking rules levels. No it took an economic nightmare scenario personally affecting the livelihoods of these people for them to wake up AT ALL. Like fine, welcome to the fucking real world. You’re still a piece of shit in my eyes now start making better fucking choices, moron.

"Wait, this affects me? That changes EVERYTHING!"
That's what makes it even more awful. They're so selfish.
On one hand I'm happy he's changed his opinion.... On another how the fuck do you have two functioning brain cells and vote for this shit stain to begin with..... 😡
Mama told you the stove was hot.
It's worse.... Mama told you the stove was hot.... You grabbed it and lost one hand.... Then you went and grabbed it again and with the other hand...
Not even toddlers are this stupid, Republicans legit have brain damage
This post reminds me of the only sub I miss from Reddit: r/youvotedforthat
Gavin Newsom? He does not need republican votes to win in a blue state.
Republicans: Useless, even when try try to do the right thing

The difference is that this affects his voters' (the ones with any money) place in the hierarchy. If their retirement accounts zero out, they're no different from the poor people they consider themselves above and made so many choices to separate themselves from. If they introspect a little bit, they might even say "then what have I been working so hard all this time for?"
The dems become the rational alternative. These Trump voters can hold their nose and vote for a little less brutality on the trans folks and a little more DEI lip service as long as they stabilize the market.
Meanwhile ofc the dems are likely to keep 80% of the immigrant deportation policies, tax cuts for the rich, etc.

Listen, 80% of fascism is still better than 100% of fascism so we have to vote for Congressman Lil' Hitler 2. You leftists can't just get everything you want. Sometimes you have to triangulate between the guy with the Sea-Do business owner with six sexual harassment complaints, the seventh generation plantation heiress trying to dodge any kind of inheritance taxes, and the Groyper with the confederate flag face tattoo. You don't have room to flirt with Starbucks unionized workers or migrant farm labor or college professionals with enormous student debts or black church parishes, because they were automatically going to vote for you anyway.

What could possibly be more rational than this?
Vote for Dick Cheney's Daughter's Best Friend or you aren't serious about beating the Republican Party.
On each side people are voting who they believe is the "lesser evil". A third party doesn't really need much popularity to start a landfall
That's a solid point. They are both shit. Proof: they alternate and things keep getting worse for US and outside of it (as result of US policies or direct wars)
My party is slightly less bad than yours is the worst argument you can put. Be honest, they both don't care about us.
