Red state voters are gonna feel this one

[MagicMike]

So why is everything better under Trump and worse under Biden

It isn't. You are simply the victim of some very effective brainwashing.

Not when I look at my stocks the price of gas my spendable income and the hugh tax break coming up. Everything is better

 

[sartre play]

Republicans have done their part in voting on the CR, it's the democrats
that are holding up the train.

Waste, fraud and abuse? I'm all for getting rid of that.

FROM BOTH SIDES?

 

[sartre play]

We can see the utter contempt and outright seething hate the dems have for this country. Their depravity knows no depth.

THEN Please explain the Hate filled negatives spewed daily from Republicans daily on this site?
BOTH SIDES BUSY with the Hate,
simple solutions wanted. pick a party, choice Only to hear their view.
No thinking necessary.

You’re putting the emPHAsis on the wrong sylLAbles. What is the value of your portfolio? Be specific, because only certain stocks are rising.

The price of gas??? I guess you weren’t paying attention to the fact that Trump is the guy who signed the deal with OPEC in late 2020 to cut production.

Oil Nations, Prodded by Trump, Reach Deal to Slash Production (Published 2020)

The deal will reduce output by 9.7 million barrels a day. While significant, the cut falls far short of what is needed to bring oil production in line with demand.

Biden is the guy who took down OPEC’s scheme to help Trump.

Joe Biden, master oil trader

The president has turned volatility into profit

If you’re so stupid that you think Trump is good for the US economy, you deserve the screwing you’re getting.

Trump forced Opec to raise the cost of oil because they were intentionally trying to put American frackers out of business. Oil was 30.00 dollars a barrel. Frackers were going bankrupt. Trump saved thousands of jobs and an entire industry thats pumping low cost oil and LNG today. Great job Donald!

Biden forced up the price of oil to force us to buy EV cars. How did that work out? We got 6.00 gallon and 9% inflation.

I wont tell you how much I have invested I have two portfolios. One professionally managed the other I manage
My assets are in AI, semiconductors, pipelines, and consumer staples. I really kicked ass this year.

What gas cost today under Trump? Whats inflation today?
I think we know which one of us understands the economy

Get out of Florida if you don't like it, clown.

My brother called me from Florida. He said I might want to go shopping and bring what I need down with me in the back of my pickup because EVERYTHING in Florida is more expensive than here in Michigan.

I would say you are lying, but you already have.

Yes I did say that but I was lying.

Yesterday I was watching While the Rest of us Die. The episode about why we shouldn't privatize our energy. They talked all about how Texas is the only state that is 100% independent and when they got that winter they got fucked because the CORPORATION that runs their energy was too worried about profits and people died. GOD I wish we would divide up the states. You guys can do things your way and we can watch you freeze in your homes or get swept away by flash floods because you are too ******* cheap and stupid to set up a warning system.

 

[Nostra]

Yes I did say that but I was lying.

Which confirms you do nothing but lie.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

Republican voters typically don't care if their voting choices wind up screwing over others, as long as it isn't themselves who have to feel the sting. There seems to be quite a disconnect for this voting block between the policies they vote for and any real, down to earth realization about how those policies can personally disrupt their own lives. For instance they'll vote for someone who tells them he's going to impose tariffs on our biggest trading partners not even realizing that those tariffs wind up being nothing more than extra taxes on consumers like themselves. Then when the results of those tariffs wind up coming home to roost and destroying the economies in their rural farming communities they react with shock.
They cannot see that they actually voted to make their own lives worse, not better.
Likewise they'll vote for the very people who actually admit to them AHEAD OF TIME that they're all about reducing these voter's access to affordable healthcare...and they'll STILL vote Republican...probably because they don't believe it's actually THEIR affordable healthcare these Republican politicians are promising to cut, but that of the "others" less deserving than them.
And it is the same with welfare. Poor, white Republican voters historically vote overwhelmingly for the very people who again TELL THEM AHEAD OF TIME how they want to take food out of their mouths by reducing the very public assistance programs these voters depend on because again, being Republican they have a built in sense of entitlement that makes it incompresensible to them that their own welfare dependence is what these Republican politicians they vote into office are targeting. They think the targets are inner city (mostly minority) Democrat voters.
And so here we are.
Republicans are keeping government shut down because Democrats won't let them take away affordable healthcare from the people who ignorantly voted against their own best interest. This shutdown is draggng on even longer than the second longest government shutdown which occurred during Donald Trump's first term. It is dragging on so long that millions and millions of red state Trump voters may have to go hungry for Thanksgiving next month.
This would be a great time for those Republican voters to finally have that long overdue come to Jesus moment about the crazy, self-destructive crap they actually vote for.
Will finally seeing how their own votes are responsible for their own empty stomachs move the needle on their stubbornness this time?
I guess we'll soon see huh?


But what’s unfolding now is more dangerous. Inflation has already thinned grocery budgets, pandemic emergency allotments have expired, and food banks are still recovering from years of record demand. This time, the margin for survival is smaller, and the cruelty more deliberate.

What also makes this crisis different isn’t just the scale of potential hunger, it’s who will feel it. As always, Black, Brown, Indigenous, and disabled communities will be hit first and hardest because poverty in America is still structured by race and ableism. These are the families already juggling inflated grocery prices, wage gaps, and greedy landlords raising rents. They’ve weathered generations of disinvestment, redlining, and political neglect. But what makes this moment distinct is that millions of white, working-class households, many in deep-red counties, are now standing on the same cliff, about to feel the same hunger they once believed was somebody else’s problem.


If the government allows SNAP benefits to run out, the consequences will reach far beyond grocery store shelves. The collapse of the white self-sufficiency myth will hit hardest among many MAGA voters who are older, working-class white Americans in counties that depend heavily on federal aid programs like SNAP, Social Security, Medicare, disability, and farm subsidies. In fact, some of the highest SNAP participation rates in the country are in overwhelmingly white, Republican counties across Appalachia, the Deep South, and the Midwest.

On the ground, food insecurity would spike across MAGA country. Economists estimate that every dollar in SNAP spending generates more than a dollar and a half in local economic activity. Pull that thread, and small-town economies unravel fast. Dollar stores and small-town groceries, which rely heavily on SNAP transactions, would lose revenue and shut down. Food banks, already stretched thin, would be overwhelmed.

Poor white families who’ve long relied on the program to feed their kids would face the kind of economic desperation they’ve been taught to associate only with non-white “urban” poverty. That shock would destabilize communities already hollowed out by addiction, unemployment, disinvestment, rampant drug abuse, and climbing suicide rates.

The irony is that these same regions consistently elect politicians who rail against “welfare” and campaign on cutting “entitlements.” These are the very people who’ve benefited most from the cruelty they endorsed. If they lose their SNAP benefits, the fallout will be dramatic and expose the contradictions at the heart of their movement.

If SNAP Benefits Get Cut Off, White Grievance Will Eat Itself

This is a man-made public health crisis that could drive millions of families already teetering on the edge straight into hunger.

Misery loves company and left are constantly looking for more

The proof is in the pudding. I'm 55. I hope to live 25 more years. Let's see how the middle class does. All the people my age retiring. Some of us inheriting a lot. Some not at all. Boomers really had it good then screwed the rest of us. I'm a Gen Xer. Some of us will get, some will not. How many of us will leave a significant amount to our kids?

And you Republicans want our kids to go be plumbers or work in factories. How much wealth do you think these dopes will have in 40 years? Non union jobs. Automation coming. It's going to be interesting to see who retires when, and why. A lot of my Republican friends now suddenly are complaining about money. If I try to point out they aren't doing better than they were last year, suddenly I'm a woke lib who has TDS. Okay suckers.

You Republicans are turning the middle class into the working poor. The masses, the rabble, like in Tiny Tim days. This is why we left England. Our founders warned us about corporations and the rich taking over our government. We had a death tax. Half your wealth, to keep greed in check. Let's go back to that.

Republicans love to argue that it's okay that the CEO got a $5 million dollar raise when we only got a 18% raise. They say even if you took $1 million from him, that wouldn't mean much for each employee. But don't forget that CEO sent jobs to Mexico to get that big raise. So it's not just the raise he gave himself. YOU, collectively as a worker, lost your ******* job. It's not just the raise the CEO got. It's what he did to us to get it.

Yeah, as I like to tell liberals, the next time your toilet overflows, enjoy calling your stockbroker or AI chat room.

Yeah but libs are great at solving problems, such as rebooting their computers, then plugging them in

I hope Trump does away with windmills.

Texas has the most wind turbines and generates the most wind energy in the U.S., leading by a significant margin over states like Iowa, Oklahoma, and California, thanks to its vast open spaces, strong wind resources, and supportive policies. While Texas leads in total generation, Iowa stands out for having the highest percentage of its electricity come from wind power.

I like to tell Republicans in red states when a natural disaster comes remember you got no warning and people died because you were too cheap to have a warning system in place. That's too much government for yall. Don't call 911 because there is nothing they can do for you. You're on your own in a red state. Maybe charity will help. Or your neighbor. Oh yea his home is gone too.
