[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post was interesting OP.  But one statement caught my eye.

“If you love nature, the environment, health, animals so much, why would you vote for the political party that wants to destroy so much of it?”

You are wrong.  Republicans don’t want to destroy the environment.  Just because we don’t buy into the green new deal, or believe in giving massive subsidies to EV companies and EV owners, or don’t believe in abandoning fossil fuels for energy sources that are far less reliable and efficient and more expensive in the long run, this doesn’t mean we don’t value the environment and want to protect it.

dp.. drilling for oil is counter to an environmentalist's position.  Rs don't believe climate change is man made, hence, why they continue to drill drill drill and support carbon emitting ICE over EVs.

The type of person that OP described is very much a "pull yourself by your bootstrap" libertarian who wants to live off the land, but they don't seem to understand that the land and water and air would be polluted if we let Rs have their way in terms of regulations, or lack thereof.

I'm not a progressive liberal, but I think we need some regulation to protect our environment for the future, not to mention our food supply.

As for jobs, real capitalism means that corporations should be allowed to offshore their jobs.  Trump and MAGA don't agree with that, and that is why they are not real Rs; [b]they are populists.  [/b] People complain about inflation, but if we manufactured everything, and also wanted these workers to have a living wage, the prices of goods and services would go through the roof.

Ask Trump if he thinks corporations should be regulated in terms of pricing and wages, because that is the only way to increase wages and control the cost of goods.

The US has the biggest gap in wages between executives and employees, which is causing the inequity that we see in our society. Ask Trump if we should regulate closing that gap.[/quote]

They are "populists" but are being funded by the billionaires and big corporations. Guess what they will want? Tax cuts and grow their own wealth. Guess who pays for it? All the "little people"[/quote]
This is the dichotomy.  MAGAs think that Trump is on their side, and not the side of corporations, but almost every policy he supports helps the corporations: from tax cuts to getting rid of regulations.    When he gave corporations those tax cuts, all of those CEOs told the Trump administration that they were not going to hire more Americans with those tax cuts. I started a thread on here when this was happening that those corporations would use the tax cuts to buy back stocks, and I was right. I've worked in the corporate world for decades, and saw this happen over and over.

Corporations aren't in it for the little guys. They are there to make money, and if you give them tax cut and remove regulations, they are not going to help the little guy.  They will enrich themselves.  Some MAGA on here said that was fine, because a strong stock market would benefit everyone (not really given the wealthiest 10% own 93% of the stock market).  So, I guess some of the MAGA are fine with corporations enriching the 1%  as long as the rest of us get some crumbs, and the poorest get nothing, certainly not a wage increase, but they'd be hit harder under a Trump admin because MAGA want to kill all types of social welfare programs.

I am anti- Trump and I can tell you most assuredly, trumps policies are not good for large American based corporations. [/quote]
