What you’re saying is you’re a Trump supporter because you and yours will benefit. Forget about the mythical people who will suffer, they vote for sport, if they vote. Things getting worse won’t change their loyalty, it won’t change yours. Sure you voted dem, but you weren’t in a swing state you knee you’d get the benefit of Trump all the same.
DP I do not think there will be these huge benefits with Trump. He has only promised to raise taxes, round up migrants(legal and illegal) and deregulate everything. Trump has no tax cut plan. I do not know where people are getting that a huge tax cut is coming. In a deregulated stock market the retail investors are the mark. If the markets burn down like in 2008 there will not be a bailout. Could you imagine Trump dealing with a market crash like 2008? I just know if I feel pain(which I think is going to happen) the vast majority will feel a lot more pain.
I just do not care about them. I do not feel a part of this country anymore. I certainly do not care if Trump bust doors down in Miami to drag out the 1 in 4 illegals in living in there. They voted for it. I do not want money going for hurricane relief or any federal spending in red states. The Republicans want to destroy the federal government and end the transfer of wealth around the country. Do it. There was a reason Appalachia was poor and not developed. There are reason people did not build on the coast. There are reasons why you need locks on the Mississippi.
This “oh everything is going to be great with markets” is herd mentality. We have been on a long run. People think the markets can only go up. A correction is due. Trump is going disrupt the world’s economy which is based in free trade. Taxing Canada and Mexico equals thousands of jobs loses within a few weeks and increased prices. The commercial property market are in a slow motion crash and it’s all highly leveraged.
Look at this little gem.

There will be a lot of pain coming and it is not on me to make things less painful. Specially for the people who are going out of their way to give me the finger.

I promise that it doesn’t make anyone see your side or want to align with you. What happened to Democratic support for the working class? That is the key lesson of this election and it seems like some of you are missing the point.

On a personal level, I am fine. I’m a lawyer (in a regulatory practice, so my clients will benefit from this administration’s policies) and make enough money that if prices go up because of tariffs it won’t change much for me, will benefit from tax cuts, have the political insulation of living in a blue city in blue state, can leave the country if I need an abortion, etc.
America voted for this and I am fine with people experiencing exactly what they voted for. So in that sense I hope Trump accomplishes what he said he would do.
