Satire: I was wrong when I said Mr. Trump winning the election would not be the end of the world. Inauguration Day - January 20, 2025

Bear with me. I know how some people believe opponents of the man being sworn in today, are in the same spot those very same people found themselves to be in back in January 2021. I don't see any equivalency here, except maybe among a handful of professional radicals and nay sayers.

But in the spirit of unity, I want to reach out to most everyone. Reach out to some with humor, and to some with weeping tears and fears. But I am Dante, and I have never been what and who most believe me to be.

Let us unite!



I've long said Trump winning would not be the end of the world. Dante still believes this to be true. But again, in the spirit of unity, I reach out to most everyone.

Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me anymore?
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
And I can't understand, no I can't understand
Why life goes on the way it does
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars shine above?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
Don't they know know it's the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye

By any measure, Trump's 2025 ec was not a landslide.

and ec votes don't equal mandates -- a sizeable majority of Americans voting for something would. under 50% is not sizeable by any measrure

I agree. But big gains for Repubs in the coming midterms would be a mandate.
 
Actually, getting things done will shake up the status quo.
True enough, although you first have to get things done. If he really cared to get things done he'd lots of small things rather than really big ones that will end up in court and never happen.
 
Already H-B1 visas and increased legal immigration has become vital to America's success just as Elon. Bannon of course disagrees. Already Trump is letting blue collar workers down with that one.

They will say "if you want a cheap battery car, buy one from China" like they loved Walmart and Dollar Stores in the 2000's. I said Dollar stores were the death of the American worker. And buying cheap shit from China.

Now I too have flip flopped. Now I want cheap Ebattery cars from China. Since Trump won't make them in America.

Inflation means paying American workers more than Chinese labor. Buy America will raise prices or "inflation"

The debt suddenly won't matter. Not until social security goes broke in 8 years. Then they'll create a crash and cut our benefits 20% in order to "save" the program.

They don't really want to pay blue collar labor more. Their solution for them is lowering the price of things. Which means buying from China.
You're blaming the American consumer for inflation because they will buy from their worst enemy to save a buck. A president can't do much about that. Now, if you could just convince the vast majority of consumers that they should voluntarily pay more to get American made, it wouldn't be a problem. Certainly not one to blame the president for. Good luck doing that.

EO's are first obeyed than later challenged, often when their intended purpose has succeeded.

You don't need an alternative product. Just don't buy anything for a while and see what happens. :biggrin:

That's why things like this need to be mandated. You can't buy from China if the government doesn't let you. Like you can't buy prescription drugs from Canada for much less than you pay here.

Or battery needs to be mandated. If gas is ruining the environment.

I thought Trump was going to impose tariffs. That'll force you to buy American and that'll cost you more. So will services moving forward. Remember that mexican guy who couldn't speak english who showed up to do that job on your house last summer? He's going back to Mexico.

But, I suspect Elon will give them work visas. Not citizenship. Work visas. So they can work here but it'll be for less. Which will keep wages down. Which pisses Steve Bannon Republicans off. Betrayal. Vergogna!
 
Not for Trump.

But we've seen HOUSE mandates flop before. Overestimating gains and what they actually mean.
Of course it would be for Trump, as the Congress would have carried out his policies and if successful would bolster him for the remaining two years. Midterm gains would be unusual as the other party usually reaps them.
 
So we have to look forward to a bunch of illegal and/or unconstitutional EOs?
Some of those orders are just statements that have no real teeth. Others will certainly be challenged, ending "birthright citizenship" for example is unconstitutional on its face.

Basically, you're trying to set the bar so high you could never claim a mandate.
