Comical. Antifa… lol

If Harris loses, it will be much more than the dark quarter we are heading into on November 6.

Do you know what was incredibly destructive to my family? Covid school closures. See your bolded above. That was widely supported by democrats both federal and local. And when I came on here to point out the stress it was putting on young families, I got contemptuous responses about how "school isn't child care."

Actually it is. Dual income families relied on having a safe place for their children to be educated and supervised while we worked, and that basic program was decimated

Voting for trump with a young family? I hope you have a very robust financial situation. It seems you don’t have enough money to hire a pod or nanny during Covid. Trump’s economy will be painful for you.

I never said I was voting for Trump, but way to stay on topic. Your "let them eat cake" attitude towards people who didn't have the cash flow to hire childcare at the drop of a hat is duly noted.

They spend so much time trying to court minorities that they forget they need white male votes to win since they're 30% of the entire population, which is basically as much as the entire black and Hispanic votes combined. I know the latter will get a lotta howls and criticisms, but it is true based on sheer raw numbers. You simply cannot win if you keep demonizing one of the largest cohorts of voters.

Enough with bathroom issues, gender affirming care for minors, and all of these other ID issues. The economy and mass illegal immigration are way more important and what voters care about the most.

+1 I think they will move right

+1 I'm a Harris voter. I'm personally not against immigration and I hate the demonization of undocumented immigrants. That being said, it's clear that Democrats have either intentionally or unintentionally focused way too much on identity politics. They really need to look back on the Obama years. The ACA is an achievement but its benefits for working people are pretty limited. The middle class is hollowing out. What are they really doing for working people? I abhor Trump and his rhetoric, but Democrats really need to figure out a message beyond "Trump is terrible". I don't really understand what they are doing with immigration. I'm glad they don't hate immigrants, but Biden and Harris have really not had a coherent approach to it. It doesn't seem like they care?

Obama should go down in history as probably the worst President of the modern age. The Great Divider blew a historic opportunity to unite this country racially. He did just the opposite. Everything about him was about race. He poured gasoline on the racial tensions in the country. Perfect example was his 2009 White House Beer Garden Summit. In fact, there's a strong argument that Trump was elected in 2016 as blow back from 8 years of the Great Dividers policies and the fact that no one wanted to see Pants Suit in the White House.

You and I could be friends IRL I totally agree. This is when the world went sideways. This exact moment. Then the division, then the hate anyone that doesn't belive what you do. "inclusiveness" gone especially if your christian (the devil) or republicans (super devil). Life has not been the same again.

Another poster who agrees with you both. We are simply deplorables who "cling to our guns and Bibles."

I'm the PP. I don't even own a gun. I just can't stand the identity politics of the modern day Democrats. It's toxic and ripping this country apart. Just please stop. I don't care what race, sex, religion, sexuality, ethnicity, etc a person is. MLKJr was spot on...it's about the content of one's character. And the other huge issue I have with the Dems is their push for socialist policies and the forced distribution of wealth. This should scare every single American. Capitalism is not perfect but it has brought more people out of poverty than any other economic system ever tried. It's not even close. I have no problem with entrepreneurs like Bezos or Musk becoming billionaires. Wish we had a million more like them. Just think of the sheer number of tax-paying jobs they have created both directly in their companies and the secondary and tertiary companies that came after, the innovations they helped pioneer, and the efficiencies they developed. Dems want to kill the golden goose with their excessive tax proposals and spending. Dems should get out of the way and remove barriers and unnecessary regulations and reduce the size of the government.

Well, brace yourself because Musk said that as cabinet member, that Americans "should brace for economic hardship." He says things will only be bad for a couple of years before they rebuild the economy from the bottom up. He has taken billions in federal contracts, but now that he's rich, he's going to ask you to suffer. Only for a couple of years.

You can read about it in NBC news, and then look at the comments of Trumpsters saying in the X post that they're ready to tighten their belts. I hope you are too! Egg prices will not be going down.

https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/economy-if-trump-wins-second-term-could-mean-hardship-for-americans-rcna177807

I’ll be just fine. Capitalism has been good to me as I made it work for me without the govt holding my hand. Thank you very much.

Haha. You sound like these lousy billionaires that made a goddamn Fortune in this country and now won't stand up to protect it. They are so afraid of trump. Pathetic.

Not a billionaire but I certainly pay my fair share of taxes unlike the bottom 50% of earners who pay almost nothing.

People that are successful and are able to earn a decent income are able to do that because of the advantages that come from living in this dynamic, safe Free country. Freedom isn't free. You want all of the advantages and none of the responsibilities like these pathetic billionaires.

Actually I served in the military so I think I took on my fair share of keeping our nation safe and free. And I’m also a successful business person and certainly pay my fair share of taxes. I’ll take capitalism any day over Dems socialist policies.

Yet, you're supporting a candidate who is obsessed with using government intervention in the form of tariffs to destroy the free markets. Of course, I imagine that goods he has manufactured overseas will be conveniently exempted...

Ha! Note it away under “anonymous” and also under the truth.

Covid was 4 years ago and if the pandemic playbook had been used by trump perhaps schools wouldn’t have closed as long.

Crappy presidential leadership begot fear which made all of Covid and the local reactions to it worse.
Had we someone who had an organized fair response the local government reactions to Covid would have been more measured.
I’m sorry you and those who think like you are unable to connect the dots between the orange man chaos that was strewn about and how much that chaos left local officials without pandemic playbooks reeling on their own.

The counties and states who went back trusted trumps response to the pandemic because they knew they supported him and were first in line for things like ventilators.

The counties and states that didn’t were blue and knew the ventilators and test kits were being withheld from them.

Crappy federal leadership lead to crappy local responses.

The pandemic playbook is to quarantine the sick and isolate the weak and vulnerable. It was the public health community that threw that out the window and had us close our society to “curb the spread” to disastrous results particularly for the economy and students.

This post reads like we didn’t have a first Trump term with a strong economy and no wars.

And your post reads like you forgot he inherited Obama's economy and even before the pandemic, our economy was slipping under his ass policies https://www.epi.org/blog/the-trump-administration-was-ruining-the-pre-covid-19-19-economy-too-just-more-slowly/
"One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt.

The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office."https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump
But the economic numbers expose a far more complicated reality during Trump’s time in the White House. His tax cuts never delivered the promised growth. His budget deficits surged and then stayed relatively high under Biden. His tariffs and trade deals never brought back all of the lost factory jobs.


And there was the pandemic, an event that caused historic job losses for which Trump accepts no responsibility as well as low inflation — for which Trump takes full credit.

If anything, the economy during Trump’s presidency never lived up to his own hypehttps://apnews.com/article/trump-economy-biden-election-president-e3a153c9b0c615ea6e0f2afb91cdc785


Voting for trump with a young family? I hope you have a very robust financial situation. It seems you don’t have enough money to hire a pod or nanny during Covid. Trump’s economy will be painful for you.

I could go on, but you have conveniently decided to forget he squandered what he was given BEFORE the pandemic.
No wars...I can't even.
