And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a “temporary” financial crisis. The thing is, “temporary” can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don’t last for a week or two.
Well he also wants to put anti vaxxer RFK Jr in a prominent role overseeing public health, so there’s that too. Though I thought the role of Secretary of Transportation would go to Elon.
The problem is that swing voters focus on only one issue, and it’s the issue that impacts them the most. It might be just the genocide in Gaza and how the current administration is handling it. Or might be just healthcare. Or just women’s rights. Or the economy. They don’t seem to look at the big picture and can’t weigh their personal feelings against all the issues as a whole. They can’t say "I’ll take a hit on the economy if women’s rights and abortions are better for the people as a whole ". It’s often what impacts them most. From what I’ve read, the economy is the biggest issue and as long a they think they might be better off with Trump, they’ll vote for him, regardless of the impact to everyone else.
America has care for its citizens in a long time. It only cares about the rich and corporations.
This is what happens in some Republican controlled states when they limit the times and places and how people can vote. Trump said a few years ago that if minorities vote, Republicans will never win another election. So Republican controlled states started getting rid of polling stations and changing voting times to standard working hours, etc, knowing that people wouldn’t be able to take time off from work to stand in the now longer lines (due to fewer polling stations) or would want to stand in longer lines.
Plus, election day is not a national holiday like it is in most other countries, so people don’t get the day off to vote. Though some companies give 3 or 4 hours paid time off strictly for voting.
I think it’s because of the lack of cheese and sausage.
Man, wouldn’t be hilarious if Trump won and put RFK Jr in charge of public health and he just abolished all vaccines and everyone got sick and died because of all these ancient diseases were fucking us up again? Yeah.
Democrats should file a lawsuit every time he does, just because.
In his defense, the GOP also answers to Putin, so it makes sense he would too.
Nah, they’ve already accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. That’s basically their get out of jail free card. It’s why a lot of them are horrible vile hateful people.
This country is failing a lot of people. The only ones who really benefit are the rich.
Well this has more than likely gotten him a lot of new Trump fans too. Any publicity is good publicity.
I’m waiting for this to happen. The old Republican supporters don’t realize or care that the GOP will cut their Medicare and Social Security as well. By the time they figure it out, it’ll be too late. Or hell, maybe they won’t care because they were able to take advantage even though they’ll be dead soon, just as long as anyone else won’t have anything to help.
Is anyone surprised? Just about every millionaire/billionaire business person is going to vote Trump because he’s told them repeatedly he’s going to cut their taxes. That’s bad news for the rest of us working people because our taxes will have to go up to make up for those cuts.
Sure, it’s annoying they’re saying this now but I don’t mind it. How much of this is just lip service though and will they still vote Trump? And Trump supporters won’t listen to them anyway. Once you turn on Trump, you’re a traitor to them and they don’t want anything to do with you.
Trump supporters love him so much because “he tells it like it is”. I doubt they’re going to love Walz because of that same line of thinking. Oh that’s right, because he doesn’t have the R in front of his name. He’s also not a racist, which is probably why they really love Trump.
They’ll continue to cover him because he’s a cash cow.
I guess it was kind of a day of love because his supporters love him and loved beating up and killing capitol police and loved storming the capitol and loved breaking into offices and stealing laptops and smearing shit on walls and breaking things and trashing the place and wanting to hang Pence…
They’re just mad because he didn’t use a gun to do it.
They’re still going to vote for him.
