The country overwhelmingly favors gutting the federal gov and that support has materially increased since Elon and Big Balls have revealed the craziness of where the taxpayer dollars are going. Do you think black females in inner city communities that vote blue support spending tens of billions on illegals when our their own people are sleeping in the street? [/quote] This is silly. I live outside the Beltway. I’m a straight cis person with a house of worship. None of the people in my circle has a government job. I’m the lowest-income person I know, but I’m the most familiar with and the most sympathetic toward libertarian arguments. I can respect the idea of Elon Musk or someone like that trying to analyze and streamline spending, with some freedom from the usual red tape. But my friends are all completely terrified by what the Trump-Musk-Vance tri-archs are doing to federal employees, the way they’re ignoring ALL federal laws and procedures, and what the tri-archs are doing to the Treasury, our military and iur relationship with the EU. We’re petrified about what this means for other kinds of everyday freedoms. If we seem quiet, I think that’s because the assumption is that the tri-archs have probably hacked all of our phones and have us under surveillance. I don’t think this is a situation where people can participate much in meaningful demonstrations and stay alive. I think the only possible hope is that patriotic Republicans in Washington figure something out. [/quote] This is crazy. I live in a deep blue area across the country from DC and nobody I know thinks or believes this. You need anxiety treatment. [/quote] DP... You are either deeply out of touch or are trying a futile gaslighting attempt. I have friends all over the country, most of whom are not federal employees and there are significant ripples of concern and anxiety rippling all across the nation right now. Tonight one friend just posted a heartbreaking story about how she packed up and fled her own hometown in Wisconsin because of a flood of anti-LGBTQ messages that she suddenly started getting. People are scared, angry, upset in ways I have never seen before in my 55+ years as an American.[/quote] Well, let’s see. Today I went to a community soccer game where the dominant language by far was Spanish. I bought elote from a cart as usual. I then met friends for dinner in a super packed restaurant. Nobody was freaking out the entire time. What I read on DCUM bears no resemblance to what I live every day. And I suspect I am far more in touch with ordinary Americans than you are. [/quote] Dp here. The simple-mindedness of maga is what got us in this situation. Sure, people are trying to go about their lives. That doesn’t mean they aren’t extremely worried. I bet if you had gone around and interviewed people, you would have found most of them to be very concerned. The fact that you made it out of your house and that there appears to be Spanish-speaking people still able to function and run their taco truck does not mean all is well. What a weird take. [/quote] It’s extremely typical of DCUM’s wealthy isolated Democrats that you assumed the folks at the game with me aren’t my friends and I wasn’t having extensive conversations in Spanish with them. You can’t actually imagine being friends with Latino immigrants, can you? That’s so far out of your realm of understanding that it didn’t even cross your mind. The point is that I’m in a community that’s far more vulnerable than you and your other fellow DCUM headcases are, and they are not freaked out the way you are. Get yourself together. The solipsism of this thread is embarrassing. [/quote] Your comments are actually sad b/c it's coming for them and they don't even realize it.[/quote] Ah, yes. The wealthy white liberal DCUM poster definitely knows better than impacted community members themselves. They should just listen to your superior wisdom. God, do you even hear yourselves? [/quote] Do you hear YOURSELF? Why do you assume the poster is liberal or wealthy? Lots of people are speaking out. Listen to farmers. Listen to service workers. Listen to low paid fed, 85% of which live outside of the DC area. You have literally no idea what Yorkers talking about. I'm so sick of you loud mouth idiots telling the rest of us what to think. [/quote] I’m not telling anyone what to think. I am saying the navel-gazing and solipsism in this thread are embarrassing and typical of out-of-touch wealthy liberals, so that is a reasonable guess.[/quote] You know what? This is why I am happy to see Trumpers suffer. The irony about MAGA talking about navel gazing. LOLOLOL. DP. [/quote] I’m the PP and I voted for Harris. I despise most of what Trump is doing (but like many Americans, not all). But I also knew Trump was going to win months in advance, precisely because of Democratic navel-gazing. Whatever. You’d think DCUM Democrats would have learned just how wildly out-of-touch and sealed off they are on election night, but apparently not. Carry on, I guess. [/quote] NP Sorry, what’s your point?[/quote] NP the people who say this are the ones out of touch. Biden did more to help the masses than Trump ever did. He did amazing things for the unions, rail workers, auto workers. Biden was actually trying to help the lower middle class and they shived him for it. [/quote] Close to a million tech jobs were lost under Biden. There were also 8 million illegal workers that flooded in and took blue collar jobs. Add in the 20% increase in grocery prices and 30% in rent and Biden did far more harm than good. That’s why republicans own the presidency, house and senate. [/quote] That’s half of it. The bigger half is that the GOP echo system has been duping Americans citizens for the past 2 decades. The right wing media machine has galvanized Americans against Democrats, using wedge issues like trans in ladies bathrooms or sports to drive voters to Trump. Trump & Musk know their voters are stupid and they know how to play them. It worked beautifully. Behavior is predictable. Republican voters will sign off on anything Musk & Trump do. No matter what. [/quote] What a depressingly cynical view of the world. People have agency. Democrats made policy choices and voters have responded to it. The same will be true when the pendulum swings the other way. [/quote] No, people actually have a lot less agency than you think. Humans are animals and react predictably to fear filled propaganda. Conservatives and old people in particular are particularly susceptible to being duped. Dem policies are a whole lot more popular than “cut everything that benefits working people to give Elon a tax break”, but those scary dog-eating trans Haitians in locker rooms get them every time. This just helps you understand, it doesn’t mean they should be exempt or immune from what comes next. You touch a hot stove, you’re going to get burned. It doesn’t matter if you were told and believed your hands were fireproof. [/quote] lol... you people are still yammering about how policies may have impacted in the 2024 election. Sure, policies may have accounted for a drop or two in a bucket of reasons why Trump won. The rest of the drops in that bucket all have to do with an incumbent party having an incumbent with a sub 40% job approval rating backing out of the race 3 months prior to Election Day. An incumbent with a sub 40% approval rating NEVER wins a second term and likely never will. An incumbent party that has to replace their unpopular incumbent with that unpopular incumbent's VP at the last minute has a zero chance of winning. ZERO! But sure, yea, it was "policies".....[/quote] You’re just reinforcing my point. Why did Biden have such a low approval rating? Because they truly believed dog eating trans Haitians in locker rooms were taking their entitlements, in between showing young girls their male genitals in locker rooms and conspiring with the Jews on their DEI space lasers. After that mess, no intelligent thought was ever going to cut through the mess of emotions and noise. Plus, people didn’t want to make love to Kamala. Maybe if she died her hair blonde, stuffed her lips full of fillers, and wore clumpy mascara she would have stood a better chance. [/quote] Biden had a low approval rating because he was a poor leader of the people at his elderly age. Obama faced the similar ridiculousness during his presidency. Remember, he was accused of being an America hating Muslim with a fake birth certificate... none of the silly rhetoric prevented him from having a 50% approval rating and easily winning a second term. Plug Obama into the exact same 2021-2024 political and economic landscape and he certainly does not exit the race for a second term 3 months prior to Election Day. He beats the weak and very flawed GOP candidate in a landslide victory. Quality of candidate is more important than anything else- by far![/quote] As much as Biden had his issues, he never had protests like Trump's already starting to get. [twitter]https://x.com/krassenstein/status/1891575804783452348[/twitter] I think those of you who think everything is great with Trump need to get out of your bubble a bit more and start reading the room.[/quote] Biden was just an angry elderly man who made for a poor leader. He did nothing to make us go hog wild protesting. Trump is a divisive know-it-all with zero integrity and he's proven to be a threat to our foundations of government. He's done plenty to make people feel the need to protest. There is a big difference between a not so good president and a dangerous president.[/quote] The difference between who is in power is that democrats wear pink pussy hats and protest outside Tesla dealerships. Republicans unite and get representatives elected. If you really wanted to be part of change, elect good people instead of propping up whoever the DNC should be next in line. [/quote] Still triggered by those pink pussy hats, huh? [/quote]
