Sure sounds like a dictator to me. He can't be gone soon enough.

Wait, are you suggesting that holding people accountable for breaking the law is being a dictator? If not, then what are you talking about? Or said differently, are you excusing people who break the law because they are republicans who....broke the law?

Dream on, baby!

Consumer confidence:


Average gas price:
When Trump left office: $2.38
Currently under Biden: $3.20

Cost of goods under Biden: Food prices are up 33.7% from the start of 2021, while shelter costs are up 18.7%, according to FOX Business calculations. Energy prices, meanwhile, are up 32.8%.

Russian citizens love their lives so do North Koreans, right? How much do eggs and bread cost there compared to here? How available are those simple foods? Can you go to the store whenever you like? Any restrictions on citizens movements? They are dictatorships why would ours be different?

Utilities ie gas, electric, water bills run by the government of dictatorships? What will that look like. Texas already gave the power company carte blanche they don't have to provide services. Is that what you all want? Ask Texans how fun that is before you answer please. Then again most of you are rich enough like Ted Cruz to run to Cancun....

Taxes?Trump already stole $7.8 mil from taxpayers. He won't have to steal it next time. He will create his own taxes and funnel monies to all his companies while raising taxes. Yes your taxes are going to skyrocket. But I guess you are good with that? Of course he is saying he will lower taxes, but that won't stop him from creating new ones. Have you think about that?

Food how in the world do you think we will not have food shortages and prices not skyrocket? Serious question. Farmers will not have workers day one deportations started. During the last Trump administration bankruptcies for farmers hit a all time high a 148% increase.

Voting rights LOL. We will never vote again. I guess Republicans are ok with Trump or any other Republcian being in office for ever. Because if you think they will stick to term limits you are not paying attention. Plus red states that are fully red can get rid of term limits.

Texas is considering seceding so if your kid goes to college there are you ok with that? Yes, that is the long term plan a lawsuit was filed yesterday that details the plan and GOP are super worried the word got out too fast. Can Texas secede actually out of all the states after the civil war it is the only one that might be able to. Florida for sure can not, or maybe it can if they change the Florida constitution.

National religion which will it be? Evangelical, Catholic (SCOTUS common denominator LOL), Methodist, Church of Satan, Muslim, obviously not Jewish.

Abortion will not be the only reason women will not be able to travel interstate without permission women who are Republcians I know you haven't thought this one through. You think abortion is the only thing at state for women. It is just the begining so you are ok with divorce laws changing and men getting it all when you divorce? Just a simple example of where GOP is headed on that one. Already started in MO, MI, Oklahoma, South Dakota.

Employee rights do you think those will continue?

Again I ask what will the US landscape look like when Republicans win in 2024?

Stop with the boogey man stories. I generally support Biden except I vehemently oppose his open borders and approach to immigration through reclassification of everyone as asylum seekers. It is bigger than abortion to me because no matter who is in office as president I believe abortion bans will be relaxed. They are unpopular among young people both red and blue. Issue an EO that closes the border until the backlog is addressed and everyone is vetted. Until that happens I may sit out or vote third party allowing the chips fall as they may. I’m tired of my vote being taken for granted or as tacit approval of the 10-20% of D actions I very much don’t support when I vote Democrat.

Why would you possibly think this?

The Evangelicals, who control Trump and Johnson, want a fundamentalist religious country, and that includes the subjugation of women's rights as it pertains to the control of their own bodies.

The economy was thriving before the pandemic because Obama left it that way for the next administration.

When Trump left office, the US economy was in shambles, there was no demand for gas because no one was driving anywhere. So sure, I guess if you want the economy to crash again so you can buy gas for cheap, that is a thing, but I like my presidents to grow the GDP and grow jobs.

Nice try. When Trump was in office, the price of gas remained low. it never spiked to over $5.00 like it did with Biden in office. In fact, it never even reached $3.00/gallon.

If that happens, you'll likely survive. Life will likely go on. Political swings aren't new. The same may hold true if that doesn't happen.

It spiked because of the economic snap back when Biden got the economy re-opened. Gas prices do not fluctuate in a vacuum.

Biden didn't open the economy. Bumbling, Stumbling Dementia Joe was for lockdowns and for keeping it closed. States ruled by Democrat Party regimes remained closed as states like Florida and TX opened back up for business.

In fact, because of Bidenomics the economy still continues to suffer:

Most Americans haven't bounced back and with the rise of energy, unfordable housing and skyrocketing costs of goods most Americans will be in debt for a long period of time.

Bumbling, Stumbling Dementia Joe can't even put together a coherent sentence let alont any coherent policy, which is why the illegal alien crisis is in full swing. Instead of securing the borders we're literally flying people without ID's to various places around the US.

Uh, the lockdowns started under Trump. Biden got the vaccines out to the public and then there were no more lockdowns. This was only three years ago, but you seem to have memory-holed the whole episode.

Why are you citing a 2023 report on inflation when by all accounts, inflation has come down and the Fed is already talking about cutting rates?

Yes, inflation went up. Because Trump mismanaged COVID and the economy shut down. When it reopened under Biden, everything jumped, and it was a worldwide phenomenon. In fact, it was BECAUSE of Biden policies that it wasn't worse. How do we know? Because everywhere else in the world, it is worse.

Utilities ie gas, electric, water bills run by the government of dictatorships? What will that look like. Texas already gave the power company carte blanche they don't have to provide services. Is that what you all want? Ask Texans how fun that is before you answer please. Then again most of you are rich enough like Ted Cruz to run to Cancun....

Taxes?Trump already stole $7.8 mil from taxpayers. He won't have to steal it next time. He will create his own taxes and funnel monies to all his companies while raising taxes. Yes your taxes are going to skyrocket. But I guess you are good with that? Of course he is saying he will lower taxes, but that won't stop him from creating new ones. Have you think about that?

Food how in the world do you think we will not have food shortages and prices not skyrocket? Serious question. Farmers will not have workers day one deportations started. During the last Trump administration bankruptcies for farmers hit a all time high a 148% increase.

Voting rights LOL. We will never vote again. I guess Republicans are ok with Trump or any other Republcian being in office for ever. Because if you think they will stick to term limits you are not paying attention. Plus red states that are fully red can get rid of term limits.

Texas is considering seceding so if your kid goes to college there are you ok with that? Yes, that is the long term plan a lawsuit was filed yesterday that details the plan and GOP are super worried the word got out too fast. Can Texas secede actually out of all the states after the civil war it is the only one that might be able to. Florida for sure can not, or maybe it can if they change the Florida constitution.

National religion which will it be? Evangelical, Catholic (SCOTUS common denominator LOL), Methodist, Church of Satan, Muslim, obviously not Jewish.

Abortion will not be the only reason women will not be able to travel interstate without permission women who are Republcians I know you haven't thought this one through. You think abortion is the only thing at state for women. It is just the begining so you are ok with divorce laws changing and men getting it all when you divorce? Just a simple example of where GOP is headed on that one. Already started in MO, MI, Oklahoma, South Dakota.

Employee rights do you think those will continue?

Again I ask what will the US landscape look like when Republicans win in 2024?

Stop with the boogey man stories. I generally support Biden except I vehemently oppose his open borders and approach to immigration through reclassification of everyone as asylum seekers. It is bigger than abortion to me because no matter who is in office as president I believe abortion bans will be relaxed. They are unpopular among young people both red and blue. Issue an EO that closes the border until the backlog is addressed and everyone is vetted. Until that happens I may sit out or vote third party allowing the chips fall as they may. I’m tired of my vote being taken for granted or as tacit approval of the 10-20% of D actions I very much don’t support when I vote Democrat.

Why would you possibly think this?

The Evangelicals, who control Trump and Johnson, want a fundamentalist religious country, and that includes the subjugation of women's rights as it pertains to the control of their own bodies.

An anomaly. Abortion bans will be loosened.

You mean there will be an across the board abortion ban and contraceptives will be banned as well.

Seriously, why do you think there will be a loosening of abortion bans under the GOP? Please provide any shred of evidence of that.

Want to clarify, it is wishcasting because orange man is going to lose. No one wants him. He lost in 2020.

The BBB bill had the second most costly item to give money to rich New York homeowners.

They have blown away any border and are giving away health care and education and food to South America

Democrats hate the deplorables I.e. the middle class.

If you are not part of the educated urban elite why should anyone vote for them ?

Counterpoint:

BBB is actually reinvesting US tax dollars for American taxpayers and businesses to benefit - jobs, infrastructure etc - everyone "wins" from this legislation and the money going to address transportation, communications and other infrastructure that makes our country competitive.

They have not "blown away" the border. Interdictions and apprehensions are up, deportations are up. If we had "open borders" that would not be the case. Why does the GOP complain about "open borders" but then fail to pass any legislation meant to address the problems that exist?

I am not sure what you mean about giving away healthcare, food and education to South America, but making life tenable in other countries mitigates the need for people to migrate to the US. So it is actually money well spent if that is what is happening.

Democrats don't hate deplorables. if that were the case, the Democrats would be putting money into blue states and "starving" red states. The opposite is actually happening. Red state governors are withholding federal dollars meant to alleviate poverty and child food programs, thus making for unhealthier kids who will do more poorly in school and be more likely to turn to crime or be on welfare in the future.
