4 years ago...in the height of COVID?
You know you won't be given a phone call or sent a new driver's license or something when we've entered idiocracy. You'll just wake up one day and be in it. And that one day was about two days ago.
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
All of this is stressing me out… i’m going to Starbucks.
It's simple, really. You and your loved ones will be the first to be tossed on buses when they start collecting people. Enjoy 😊
^ no I'm not remotely happy about this. But I guess people gotta find out that hard way.
As a Latino, I'm gonna mother fuck and cuss out any Latino I meet who voted Trump.
Your energy would be better spent blaming the politicians for not advocating policies that cater to the worried and concerns of voters
Yup. I live in the FSA (fucked states of america), am latina and I know a few of those fuckers. Beyond disappointing
Yeah, they liked being in the middle of a poorly handled pandemic. It was great!!
How the fuck can they say it was better 4 years ago. Do they mean right before Covid hit? Right before people lost their jobs and the dumbass politicized an illness? Right before people couldn't get baby formula? Right before people started fighting for fucking toilet paper? Before people started dying?
Dumb, dumb motherfuckers. You won't be at the table, you're going to be on the table, a table you built, and torn apart with knives you sharpened. You dumb fucks.
The trump economy had a decent distance to fall for most people. The whole regime was a clusterfuck, but it was only starting to hit the majority of people in 2019. That was massively overshadowed by the pandemic which many people don’t realize how much worse we handled it than other countries like France and Vietnam. Well now that we just barely touched a soft landing for his fuck ups they’re about to see how bad his economic policies are. We’re gonna get fucked in the ass but unable to afford lube
I think Trump bullshits well, then inherited good economy and whatnot from Obama, started canceling all that shit, which Biden then has been trying to fix and now Trump gets it again.
Policies take time to show and that's something these people didn't account for, imo.
Dumb, dumb motherfuckers.
Hard agree.
I can't wait until we get to 2028 so we can talk about how eggs are more expensive than they are now. Oh wait, that only happens when democrats are in office
Basically, people are dumb and think that the current economic situation reflects only current policy, whereas in reality it takes several years for a policy to affect the economy significantly. I mean i don't have any love for Biden, but the fact that the inflation started at the end of Trump's presidency and continued into Biden's was due primarily to Trump policy. The fact that it slowed finally is due to Biden policy, but now that Trump is taking over, he'll take responsibility and immediately go back to policy that breaks the economy again, but only at the end of his term. This is one reason he's unlikely succeed for long if he to tries to seize power illegally and would have been way worse off if he had won his second term. His policy effects would be under his watch. Also why single term presidents are often less reviled than two term ones historically.
Possibly their ballots were faked? Could we all get a look see? I just want to make sure my ballot looks exactly as I voted.
Or maybe Latinos are fucking retarded? Pinches huercos jijos de su reputa Bomba Madre. Como cabrones se les biene a votar por la pinche bolsa de miados Trump???? But I digress.
retrospection is a bitch
I'm calling it. The Fed will start gradually lowering its interest rates down to near 0 as the stock market booms with cheap money. The news will show troubling social and geopolitical problems that will be quickly swept over by the latest Dow Jones and S&P 500 values getting to absurd heights. People will start grumbling about the nation's problems again while Trump will say it's the "Deep State" causing all of this and pointing the finger at Democrats and undocumented immigrants.
Inflation starts to spike again at the start of the 4th year of Trump's presidency. Even more people will start to go homeless as the average monthly cost of a 1 bedroom apartment soars to $3k. If Trump is still "healthy", the Supreme Court will declare a sitting president can hold on to power during times of emergency and cancel US elections.
given the china tarrifs it might be one of those faster than expected thing.
