"Trump is trying to collapse our economy": War on "woke" revealed as a war on all Americans

It sucks being right about all this because going "I told you this would happen" during the worst crisis America has faced since the civil war just makes us look petty and a dick.

I tried warning people about this. I wanted Trump in jail. I wanted Biden to push for large reforms to make people turn away from Trump's lies about how he will personally fix the economy. I wanted the court packed into overturning every bad choice they made in the last 20 years.

And I was called defeatist and pessimistic. "It takes time to arrest someone for a crime they committed." "Bringing that issue up would be political suicide."

And now we're stuck with Trump.

"I mean, did you see that trans athlete in some state I've never even been to, and have no plans on visiting?! That has serious impact to my life!!! We must elect Strong Leader to fix this, stat!" <- just about every qon idiot

I was really surprised at first that it was a woman, but then it became pretty clear that she was an old, white woman, and then it at least made more sense. She's (presently) unaffected by any of the bullshit that is being thrust upon women of child-bearing age, the persons of color, the non-binary folk, the young people hurt most by skyrocketing housing costs, etc; and she's thoroughly unapologetic about her lack of empathy for any of those groups of her fellow Americans. Goddamn, what a bummer.

EDIT: Then I made the mistake of continuing to listen, and half or more all of the callers for the next 20 minutes are brainwashed boomers ranting about how Biden was the devil and Trump is going to save us from the illegal immigrants who are ruining all of our lives. Yeesh.

and then “hopefully” he’d restore it afterwards.

Because this is, of course, what happens, generally, based on historical facts.

Its well known most dictators step down, once the immediate emergency is over with, right folks?

Right?

These people should seriously read into German history...

Or fuck, just watch Star Wars for fucks sake if real history is too hard for them.

The number of people still mad at Biden...

I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that's besides the point.

The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people's loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that's apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.

I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.

I doubt that she used Cincinnatus as an example

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

It’s class war. It’s been class war all along.

War implies more than one combatant. No one has been fighting for the working class.

It's basically what set off WWII and the rise of nazism. The west, monarchies and wealthy owner class saw the rise of communism and wanted to enable or at least let go of the leash that held back a mad dog set on reestablishing a new world order with their friends at the top. It also helped the legacy wealthy people that the mad dog turned his attention to the east and wanted to destroy the heart of communism. It nearly did as it killed 20 million in the eastern front and set back the soviets decades while the west accelerated with wealth.

It's always been a class war ..... when you think about it, it's never stopped.

I do believe those people are called the party of "Leopards eating my face"

Don't worry it won't be just a recession this time

Might? That's literally why the oligarchs put him in power. So they could buy everything cheap.

I don't know why my fellow Americans can't see the correlation

Unfortunately that's not how a large portion of the population sees it. To many the economy a president inherits matters more than the state they leave it in.

Even Trump agrees

That's the plan

It’s defined as “Everything I might have to expend emotional or intellectual effort to understand and be placed in a position where I might be inconvenienced, proven what I’m used to doing is wrong, or demonstrate consideration that the thoughts and feelings of others might be different than my own.”

If it’s any of that, I get to be angry about it.

Like...who ever even saw that coming?

Literally nobody*

*except any person having more than one braincell.

Don't be so pessimistic! Don't think it's been only a month, think there's only 47 more months to go!

It really is amazing how January is 8 years long. I would have thought it was shorter, but it's still going...

I'm waiting for 2027 before I start being shocked at anything happening. That will be quite a year.

10 days of this shit so far. Can I line up to vote now?

Then what if we started a PsyOps campaign with stuff that will turn him on? Like softcore gay porn propaganda of him with Putin, again.

I can almost guarantee it. They are constantly projecting and I'm so sick of it.

OK I am going to use that with a slight alteration, " Fox News Cinematic Universe" only because fox owns aliens and predator, last I checked.

And ironically, those remaining in the ashes will still find themselves disappointed.

Lol I just got the Supplies-Surprise joke. What a great movie.

ah yes America's long time friend Rome, we go wayyy back.

No, just Ha-wite people.

The general vicinity of fact, minus class consciousness?

So are the eggs cheap yet?

30% is not good approval ratings.

That's less than the 34% he had when Biden took the Presidency from him.

That doesn't mean that what he's doing is good for Americans, it just means Americans don't understand the consequences or don't care.

Good approval ratings with who? From what I've seen his approval ratings with Americans are almost as terrible as they were last time.

What approval ratings are you looking at, last I checked he'd managed to go lower than Biden.
