Can you give three specific policies that were not popular?

Under Biden we were fixing infrastructure and building chip factories. We were adding jobs.

Under Trump my investments have dropped more than $39k in two weeks and I haven’t even looked at real estate equity. It will drop like a stone if people are afraid to spend money due to the threat of losing a job. Trump has wiped out all the gains I had in the last 14 months.

Egg prices are rapidly falling, per CNBC:

Trump’s approval ratings are near his all time highs; 44 percent of voters think the country is on the right track, the highest since 2004; and Dem approval ratings are tanking, per a recent NBC poll:
https://www.axios.com/2025/03/16/trump-high-dems-low-new-poll

There are a lot of people out there who don’t have $39,000 in home equity + savings and would feel like they won the lottery to be in your economic situation. I’d say based on your $39,000 portfolio drop, you are in the top 5% of Americans. Well, the entire country is not like you at all and they have different priorities.

To lose their veterans benefits? To have higher inflation? To let their kid have hearing loss due to measles or cancer because of pfas in the water? To lose their home because FEMA is extinct?

These is all scare mongering hyperbole. I’m not going to waste time refuting every assertion, but inflation is the easiest one to correct.

February inflation rate lower than expected per CNBC (not Fox News): https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/03/12/cpi-inflation-report-february-2025.html

If anything, the tariffs are going to reduce consumer spending, which will reduce inflation and cause the Fed to lower rates faster than expected, which will send stocks soaring.

When no one can afford anything, stocks won't soar.

Lower rates are inevitable once the recession kicks in and lower rates will keep the housing market and much of the financial markets from tanking. Our country and Trump are lucky we are in a position where significantly lower rates are possible if poop hits the fan.

Things are going to have to get very, very bad to make housing affordable again. Lower rates has just meant higher prices for the last, I don’t know, 15 years.

Highe rates meant higher prices for the past, I dont know, 2 years. Surely there must be some rate level that will make prices low? Rates must be the answer, somehow.

Do you not remember the housing collapse in 2008? Under W? Prices dropped dramatically (maybe a third) but no one could afford to buy them. It wasn’t some nirvana.

+1 I was an agent who had just returned from maternity leave at the time. 2009 was awful even though the government was paying people who bought homes.

I guess it was pure sexism that led many Hispanics to vote against Harris.

Could be. Or just regular conservatism. Which is certainly not what Trump is doing right now.

Of it could be the fact they suddenly woke up and realized he's going after ALL Hispanics.

Exactly! Now that they are seeing that he treating ALL Hispanics badly, their opinion has shifted.

A number of Hispanics (friends etc.) did not vote for Kamala b/c she was a woman and they said so explicitly. That is just anecdotal, obv, but it does lend some credence to the sexism allegation.

Yup. Having ICE go around detaining Hispanics purely on racial profiling isn’t going over well

I saw the latest Yougov poll and compared to Jan, but it also sadly reinforces that we live in different world. Democrats are largely increasingly unhappy with the direction of the country and Republicans, those who did vote for Trump are largely increasingly happy with the direction of the country.

But we also know our country's elections are decided in the thin margin of moderates who seem to be increasingly leaning against Trump. We are still talking small percentage point changes of an increase of 5% more moderates finding our country is heading in the wrong.

I mean, absolutely nobody expected this. One of the original writers of Project 2025 didn't even expect Trump to do it.

Immigration and downsizing the government have been key issues for Republicans for decades. They may not like how Musk is doing what he is doing, and they may not like the particulars of this agency or that office etc, but overall they like the idea. The economy, however, is another story.
