      “But when he said he was going to kick out all foreigners, remove all subsidies, kill expensive medical programs or change import/export, and I’m still in favor of that, I didn’t think he was going to change anything about my cheap workers or my Medicaid that I need to live. And the stuff that I order for my business is so expensive now. Oh yes, I would vote for him again in a heartbeat.”

      They’re seem to be a lot of those.

        The biggest one.

        Kamala: I stand with Israel!

        Trump: I stand with Israel, and I’m a fascist!

        Leftist: it’s the same picture

          Exactly. And even better - that bunch is/was so busy telling everyone what morally superior creatures they all are…

          It’s almost like things might have been better if we had some kind of primary process to choose a candidate that suited us instead of having one thrust into the candidacy without any vetting whatsoever.

            Sorry but do either of you folks believe we’d be four months from societal collapse if Trump hadn’t won?

            I didn’t much care for her, either but she would’ve bought all of us another four years of boredom before we had to deal with Trump again, and by that time he’d be four years closer to death and a voterbase four years over him and onto another obsession.

            The long-game is the only one that matters. Gaza could’ve likely not been prevented, but eased? I’m willing to bet what Palestinians are left would be better off of she were president. Gaza itself likely not, but we can’t have everything unless you’re all willing to throw some bricks and start some fires.

            A fellonious pedophile sits in the white house and you’re still on your ass, so… guess not

              I was told by many stupid fucks that Trump winning would do a thing to activate leftists or that these uber sexy single leftists were already hot and available in my area and doing all of the activisms and organizings that could ever be done, so it wasn’t actually a problem if Trump won.

              Then he wins and shocked Pikachu face, these marvelous leftists that own the streets were nowhere at all to be found.

              Democrats are pathetic, sure. But so is this supposed mass movement of online leftists, that just needs a bit more accelerationism to activate bro, I promise bro, just a little more fascism and we’ll revolution, bro! I’m definitely not a concern troll, bro! No way bro!

                Well said! No notes.

                Bang on about the concern troll thing. I’m so very sick and tired of that. I’m sure all their sanctimony is a great comfort to them as they watch shit get worse nearly every day. That’s if some of the trolls even have to live in this country, that is…

        All the “genocide” shit. As if Taco and pals were going to be any better. But we had a lot of single-issue idiocy on this anyway.

        FFS. Now we might just get blood in the streets in Gaza, AND here at home AND in random countries that Taco decides to go to war with.

        Way to go. This is some real 9-dimensional chess.

      But Taco is already prepping his conservative reprogrammable meat bags to believe that 2026 is going to not be so great, and that it will (somehow) be Biden’s fault.

      Because these assholes are that fucking stupid to believe that we had a “terrible” economy in 2024 under Biden. And Taco knows enough of his dumbass conservatives will believe him that if 2026 is worse (because of him) that it’s because the prior administration had us “on a bad path”.

      So in the economic head-canon of the Confederate Cinematic Universe:

      1. Biden’s economy in 2024 was one of the worst we’ve ever had, and of course, if anyone was actually doing well, they were probably liberals anyway.
      2. The economy is the best you’ve ever had now that Taco is in office. Especially if you are a confederate.
      3. But if it’s still bad in 2026, that’s because of what Biden did to us (confederates - again, if you weren’t suffering under the supposed worst economy ever, you were probably an undeserving liberal or POC or trans).
      4. Tariffs are NOT taxes, and other countries pay them.
      5. Ignore the fact that all of this nonsense sounds an awful lot like North Korean level propaganda or the way the Chinese Communists talked about a “Great Leap Forward”, etc…even if you are starving and have no health care, this is all absolutely the golden age. Any pain you might feel, though, is the fault of Biden and the Democrat (sic) Party.

        I also have covid with awful throat pain right now. I feel miserable. The last time I had covid I had throat pain so bad I couldn’t speak and could barely eat. I’m so excited that I may be experiencing it again…

      Covid-19 hasn’t gone anywhere. And Frik n’ Frak are aiming to get rid of the one weapon we have against it.

        Yeah, but Frak says he isn’t really doing that at all. I mean, he sat there and told Warren and others that everyone can get the vaccine, and he wasn’t saying that just to gaslight the 92% of the country that are not antivaxxer sister-fuckers, honest!

    Weird. We had a Goldilocks economy last year. The envy of the world, even.

    Wonder what happened in the intervening months? Hmmmm…

    The real job loss is likely higher but offsetted by the job openings cause by ICE snapping workers.
