    Typical conservative. They don’t care until it affects them directly. Enjoy suffering the consequences of your choices dipshit.

    Lmao none of them will remember that 3 years from now when Trump or his successor run on a platform of “DEMOCRATS HAVE LOOSED THE SEWER MUTANTS ON US, WE NEVER HAD SEWER MUTANTS BEFORE SOROS FINANCED THEM. I BOLTED DOWN ALL THE MANHOLES IN NEW YORK. WHAT HAS OBAMA EVER DONE AGAINST SEWER MUTANTS?”

    Yet for some reason they will never lose enough support to be ousted.

    We all know what it’s going to take to remove them.

    The fact that they are still good friends with someone that actively claims(/claimed) to have supported Trump is damning for that tweetist.

    And what am I supposed to take away from this? Cool, they’re fine with racism and sexism but the economy is sancrosanct. Who is this appealing to/performing for?

      One of the pillars that the republicans keep claiming is that they will sell everyone out for the sake of businesses, and therefore, obviously, they will make the numbers go up better than those democrats that will sap money out of the economy to pay for useless stuff like basic human needs to those that need it.

      Now you have a republican president who has:

      • Not cut any taxes
      • Imposed way more taxes
      • Tanked the markets
      • Tanked so many government benefits

      It was already provably false (going back 30 years, the only prolonged ‘numbers go down’ have been both of Bush Jr’s terms and Trump’s second term), the best republican term was Trump’s first and it’s no better than any democrat term for the past 30 years.

      So there are some people who are either fine with the racism and sexism (or don’t believe/in denial about that as made up) for the sake of better personal financial fortune, and democrats have never convinced those folks that republicans actually don’t have any track record to support that superstition. Trump has at least proven that he isn’t good, and worse he is allowed to unilaterally act by a broader party that is afraid to conflict him.

    This is the “I’m alright Jack” crowd, not necessarily the ones driven by hate, so the actual “conservatives” and the backbone of rightwing support.

    Whilst even when the mainstream Right move all the way to Fascism they keep on supporting it, it’s only as long as they themselves carry on being alright.

      100 percent disagree. The moderates are the smallest group that populate the right wing crowd.

        I would hardly call “so greedy I’m ok with an extreme racist regime as long as I keep on getting mine” moderate, but then, maybe that’s just me.

          This describes anyone who is OK with the country tho? I mean America didn’t start being racist in 2016

                  You edited what you said, it shows up on my end. I’m going to give you a day break because you tried to fix it.

                  Edit: I went through the entire thread. This seems more trolling than I thought originally. I’m going to ban you for awhile.

      Yea… I was thinking the same. We need change, not “maybe these guys will do better now!”

      I’ve voted Dems, but damn. We need true change, a new party for the left.

    We’ll see in 2028. Until then, they voted for this. They got exactly what was advertised. I’m happy they’re fucked, along with all the centrists and moderates. I hope you all lose every. Single. Penny.

    The stock market is going back up. Trump makes all these threats and it is going back up today. I don’t understand.

      A lot of influencers are telling people to buy the dip, causing prices to go up.

      Tomorrow 104% china tariffs go into effect, if the last article I read is still correct. The news about this stuff changes so fast.

      Friday was all doom and gloom, monday started bad but ended positive. Some might think things will return to normal… but we haven’t felt the full effect of all the tariffs yet. Until we do, it will look better than it is imo.

      That’s because it’s funny money predicated on many people’s poor grasp of economics, fermenting into a sort of pseudo-financial speculation.
