Will Maga just watch the sinking ship or admit they were wrong?

More to the point, we're experiencing "sticky inflation".

Don't worry OP. There isn't another presidential election for four years.

Is this the talking point of the day? Because it's a bunch of bull if so.

Trump promised lower prices on day 1. He promised the best economy of all time. Same sh-- as his first term, which he didn't deliver on either.

You have been had. Wake the F up.

You do realize we're ALL on this sinking ship, right?

Exactly why "libs" were in an absolute panic and majority of highly educated voters didn't vote for this.

Yes. It’s called the “invisible hand” of the market for a reason. And the invisible hand is slapping Trump bigly.

All because he couldn’t handle not being reelected in 2020.

+1 I stated repeatedly, this was going to be a big FU presidency. He doesn't actually care about the average Joe (pardon the pun).

No, actually, you elitist democrats don't care about the average Joe. As long as money pours into DC and you get your check, you couldn't care less.

The Biden presidency was great for my personal wealth. I made a great income, my portfolio was up, I benefited from an increase in my home value, which I sold at the peak due to divorce. I'm mass affluent and what is coming will hurt me more than the average joe.

The last 4 years weren't great for people who rented, who didn't have much in savings/401k, whose incomes weren't enough to offset higher inflation and who buy necessities on credit cards. Inflation and the high interest rates to fight inflation crushed those people.

Those people are willing to roll the dice on a big upset if it brings well paid jobs back to America.

The MAGAs are now saying it’s good to be in a recession because low interest rates.

They can justify anything. I think Trump could rape and kill children live on tv and the MAGA cult would cheer and offer up their own kids.

It won’t though…he’s creating a society where the 1% have everything and the 99% are peasants…see Tsarist Russia.

The man is clearly out of his mind and unfit for office, but MAGA won't ever admit this.

You need to step outside of your bubble and stop listening to Fox News's talking points.

Trump and his Republicans do not care about you nor the average Joe. They only care about themselves, reduced spending for programs that help the average Joe. They want to cut taxes to help the rich and enrich themselves.

The Democrats (as mush as I may not like being identified as that) are the ones who actually care or try to help the average worker. They want programs to help the poor. I am happy to pay my (or our) fair share because I realize that it's the right way to do it, and thereof am not in support of reduced spending or taxes. At the end of the day, my families HHI is almost 500k. Hell even a 5% change in tax (let's take this as a hypothetical) won't negatively affect us, the 25k decrease in income will barely be noticeable (our marginal utility from an extra $ at this income level is negligeable). Whereas, this 25k (or the programs it will help support) will really be.noticeable for the average Joe who only makes like a 50k HHI. Or conversely cutting the average Joe's taxes and increasing mine I am fine with that for a similar reason (x money less for me is not noticeable while x more money for the average Joe will be very noticeable)

But Republicans and the low income Maga voters don't realize that. They literally voted against their own best intetests.

We can answer our questions about Trump voters by trying them out on ourselves. How many of us have admitted that it was a mistake to vote for Joe Biden in 2020, whose Presidency brought us more Trump? Almost none of us. So it will be with the Republicans, Independents, Swing Voters, and Disaffected Democrats who voted for Trump. Many will be *disappointed* by Trump. But precious few will say "I was stupid and I wish I had voted for Kamala Harris." If we're hanging our future hopes for victory on "voter regret," we aren't going to be winning any time soon.

[Anonymous]

Enough people already felt like peasants that they were dissatisfied with Kamala who couldn't articulate what she would do differently than Biden.

Enough people felt like an underclass that they were willing to believe the promises of populism and divisive tactics to blame small minorities.

The country is just getting more and more divided. I don't really see how it's fixable

[Anonymous]

Never.

These are the things my MAGA relatives are saying on social media.

1. We knew prices wouldn't come down day 1. We knew it would take time. If you didn't know that then you're an idiot.

2. Through HIM all things are possible. Trust the process and keep the faith. It is always darkest before the dawn. We got this! (Not sure if the HIM is Trump or Jesus, but probably both, let's be honest)

(Typed out exactly as written by my uncle)
3. Yep prices are high as sh*t right now and yeah we prolly are going to go thru a recession but guess what? Not his fault at all and I and millions more get that. He cam in to the worst most f----- up economy since Regan It is going to take a lot to fix this sh*t. He is saving us millions uncovering the fraud and don't forget he donates his entire slary back to the US unlike sleepy FJB who stole stole stole from US and robbed the US blind!

Any MAGA that are deep in the cult will never admit that they were wrong. Those who have admitted to regretting their votes seem to be those who voted partyline because they always vote for a R or young people who voted for Trump because of Palestine.

For a high income person like yourself, voting Blue is kind of like buying cheap indulgences. As you say, you don't even mind throwing an extra $25K into the federal government meat grinder if it makes you feel more compassionate. The problem is that your income taxes aren't really helping people much. SS and Medicare are paid from separate taxes, schools and roads etc are handled by state and local governments. Income inequality has not decreased during ANY Democratic administration in the past half century. The federal department of education has spend TRILLIONS and test scores haven't improved a bit. We spend countless billions on homelessness, and it never decreases. So you can SAY that Democrats make people's lives better, and you may be right that we INTEND to make people's lives better, but we don't actually do it, so we can't really take credit for it.

It's not just the MAGA cult. The entire electorate chose him over Democrats this time. Where did we go wrong that so many Independents and Swing Voters and Soccer Moms voted for Trumpism over Democrats? Which of our policies and accomplishments were the biggest turnoffs for voters?

It looks like it's temporarily fixed. The Republicans have the majority now and intend to keep it. We refuse to change our unpopular policies, so we're sliding comfortably into becoming the smaller opposition party. We'll have political stablilty for at least 12 years under Republicans before the next shift back to Democratic rule.

Why would Republicans admit their vote was wrong? They won! So obviously their vote accomplished what they wanted it to. We're the ones who won't admit to being wrong. Which of our policies have we changed in response to the voters rejection of our platform? None.

We keep telling ourselves that the stock market or federal layoffs or Ukraine funding are the ultimate outcomes of politics, but those are all second derivatives. What matters first is winning and losing elections and being in or out of power. We just got booted out of power. Obviously we are the ones who should admit we were wrong. Something about our policies, personalities, and performance caused us to be rejected by the voters. We should figure out what it was and correct it.
