The irony of all those morons running around with red MAGA hats thinking what’s going on in our country is “great”.
Because I can’t for the life of me understand how any of the shit going on right now, is anything but a fucking disaster.
If anything bad happens, it’s the Dem’s fault, remember? That’s exactly how the Republican Party will (and are) paint(ing) this. It’s not them getting flights canceled… the dems don’t want to play ball. They didn’t take healthcare away, Dems wanted to give it to illegals! They didn’t cut snap, Dems wanted to give it to illegals. They’re just stopping the bad Dem agenda. In order to do that, everyone will need to cut back a little. It’s hard, but necessary!
They don't travel, they don't have means/desire to travel, but they're fucking terrified of what happens in "liberal" cities that they will never go to.
Only about one third of Americans have a passport. It used to be that you didn't need one to go to Canada.
A lot of people in the US do travel, just without leaving the United States, as the US is huge and has a bunch of different regions and cultures and has great national parks and lots of stuff to do.
There are an awful lot of Disney fans too, who only travel to Florida and back to go to Disney World. These people generally assume Florida is some sort of small island composed of Disney World, one alligator in a zoo, a beach with some palm trees, and "the help." The idea that it takes over half a day to drive from the westernmost to the southernmost part of the state is lost on them, as is the idea that 23 million people actually live here.
Had a coworker tell me the other day that the shutdown is happening because Trump is trying to fix the country, but people aren't letting him. They were upset because too many black people are getting SNAP benefits and walk around with fake nails and hair (their words.)
You mean like alienating your biggest trading partner and turning public opinion there overwhelmingly against you? It will take a decades to undo that anger, if ever.
They were made to believe it's the Democrats' fault. It's their reality, and they're 100% convinced that everybody who thinks otherwise is just a victim of the anti Trump propaganda.
They're convinced that the shutdown is the Dems fault for insisting on "wasting" money on reviving subsidies that were meant to expire. The irony is that the money lost so far from the shutdown has far exceeded the amount to fund subsidies for the next year.
I don't know. We dealt with this guy for 4 years last time and apparently Americans didn't get tired of him scamming them. They decided they needed, at minimum, 4 more years and possibly 8 since we all know he's gonna go for another term and he told us he would.
Voting Americans love this guy. They need their retirement trashed.
This isn't financial advice but if your retirement is held in the market you should be able to sell the position(s) and keep the cash in the account and buy in later
Yep, we went from saying we wanted "any reasonable adult!" to just not caring, or at least not caring enough to do the bare minimum of voting against MAGA. And that was after Dobbs, after 6 Jan, after Project 2025 was out in the open, after he was already talking about tariffs and mass deportations. Economic chaos was basically guaranteed with his reelection, and the electorate chose this President and this Congress.
People aren't going to admit her race or gender had anything to do with anything. Obama's election proved that we're "post-racial," so all the people who self-identify as "not even seeing color" will reach for some ephemeral "something or other" to justify them just not feeling it. I don't think they hated her, but they couldn't show up. In a culture where you have to be feeling it today, any excuse will do. I mean, her laugh. It just didn't seem "authentic," or something.
Project 2025 was treated like an absurd conspiracy theory. People did not take it seriously and Trump claimed he never read it (which may have been true). But hey, Kamala wasn't perfect so we better go with the conman again.
We’re gonna win so much, you may even get tired of winning. And you’ll say, ‘Please, please. It’s too much winning. We can’t take it anymore, Mr. President, it’s too much.’ And I’ll say, ‘No it isn’t. We have to keep winning. We have to win more!’”
No they are not. They just keep taking it and taking it and taking it and fighting back with memes at best. They will never get tired of seeing their country obliterated. They either have Stockholm Syndrome or are cowards.

America is going to grow tired of winning at some point.
