US Democracy Experiment Ended By An Actor and a Game Show Host

[TimFitz]

No one knows how many people Biden and his border czarina let in, but the flow was indeed insane.

It was never anywhere near as insane as you Trumpsters portrayed it.

That was before you fell for the fake news about Hatians eating dogs and cats.

Reagan

This is where I remind dipshit ^^^ that Obama and countless Democrats ran as Reagan, on Reagan's positions on the issues in 2008 and were all over media talking about how great Reagan was.

These Dem dumb asses are constantly trying to IGNORE their own history.

Remember, you Biden groupies believed it when he told you “the border is secure”.

 

[Meathead]

So, let me get your argument clear. A state with millions and millions of progressive voters is doing very well but a state with mostly conservative voters is struggling because of the few progressives?

This makes sense to you?

Yup, progressives in red states are concentrated in blue shitholes. That must be obvious even to someone as oblivious as you.

The two most destructive administrations to American Democracy were the Actor Ronald Reagan's and the Game Show Host Donald Trump's administrations. Entertaining performers are not qualified to run a country and susceptible to ultimate corruption.

Discuss.

Reagan

• Put the US in a debt death spiral with Reaganomics/voodoo-economics (cut taxes and raise spending)
• Destroyed regulations that kept the economy competitive for the consumer's dollar
• Eliminated protections for Unions that kept them on equal footing with companies leading to half a century of wage stagnation
• Started the pathway to cut needed public programs from education spending to poverty support
• Welcomed and recruited the religious influence into politics destroying the separation of church and state
• Led the way to the top 1% consolidating the money into the largest wealth gap in the industrialized world

Trump

• Waging an all out war on intellectualism, science, education and research
• Eliminating the remaining poverty support for children and the needy, criminalizing homelessness
• Destabilizing long term world alliances that have kept stability for 80 years
• Dismantling the administrative state in critical life saving functional roles and responsibilities of the government
• Undermining equal protection and rule of law that has created a stable US society
• War on immigration which had previously powered the US economy, population growth, culture, and position as world leader
• Appointed and embraced corporate oligarchy into power
• Led the way to the top 1% consolidating the power into the largest reductions of freedoms in the free world

You are in the unfortunate situation of being unable to have a coherent thought of your own, so you have to rely on fake intelligence to tell you what to think.

How sad.

I never worried much about it.

We were not being invaded.

Closing the border was not a bad idea. But a workable guest worker program would be a good one.

Here you are flailing your Pom Poms for Biden, a serial plagiarist, serial liar and failure as senator.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Constitutional Republic if you loons can't get that right how the **** do you expect anyone with more than an ounce of brain matter to take you seriously ?

I stopped reading after “US democracy…”

No way. It was ******* bonkers.

That’s quite the sidestep as you hoped to sidestep the illegality of Biden’s illegal alien import and Mexican cartel enrichment syndicate.

Of course not. The pile of dead Americans at the hands of your precious illegals is perfectly sane.

So no answer? I’ll answer it. Red States are terrible economic engines and shitholes with low real estate prices. They think the answer to their problems are working in a factory and picking strawberries the worst jobs you can get. They deserve the poverty they have.

It’s easy to assume that high real estate prices mean a state or region is doing “better,” but that’s not the whole picture. Property values rise and fall for many reasons—some healthy, some harmful. Limited housing supply, restrictive building codes, burdensome ordinances, and inflation all drive up prices regardless of whether people’s wages keep pace.

Five years ago, a household earning $75,000 could realistically buy a modest home. Today, that same family is often priced out—even though they’re earning the same income or a bit more. That’s not a sign of prosperity; it’s a sign of imbalance.

When housing costs outpace wages, families struggle. They spend more of their income just to keep a roof over their heads, which squeezes out money for savings, retirement, healthcare, and education. And if the housing market corrects—as it often does—those who bought at the peak can end up “underwater,” owing more on their mortgage than their home is worth. That’s financial quicksand, not stability.

Labeling entire regions “shitholes” because of their industries or housing prices oversimplifies complex realities. Manufacturing, agriculture, and service work are still vital to the American economy. The dignity of work doesn’t come from whether it’s in a factory, a field, or a tech office—it comes from the effort to provide for a family.

The bottom line: High real estate prices are not automatically something to brag about. Economic health is better measured by whether people can afford to live, work, and raise a family securely in their communities—not whether outside investors bid up home prices.

While I often disagreed with Reagan, he was a class act compared to our felon in charge now.

Trump was convicted of 34 felonies a year ago. He's still battling the case

One year after Donald Trump's hush money conviction made him the first president to be convicted of a crime, Trump continues his fight to erase that legacy.

Trump is far and away better than the serial plagiarist, cannibal Hunter and human trafficker you worship.

Nothing you posted addresses the fact that blue state give more than they get and red states get more than they give. A few states posted that says what?

Ok, I researched back and found your post with the financial data:
From your Time link,
"From 2018 to 2022, individuals and organizations from blue states contributed nearly 60% of all federal tax receipts but only received 53% of all federal contributions to states in the form of either direct payments, grants, contracts, or wages. Meanwhile, red states were only responsible for 40% of federal tax receipts but received 47% of all federal contributions to states. A 7% differential that in effect equates to a more than $1 trillion transfer payment from blue states to red states, amounting to $4,300 per capita, compared to the instance where their respective fair shares were paid."

So there is a 7% difference between red and blue states, but no mention of what they did with the purple or "swing" states. The tax math looks fine to me, not confirming their "received" numbers:
The 2018 Federal revenue was $3.3T, so 7% is only $231b
The 2022 Federal revenue was $5T, so 7% is only $350b
Say $581b x2 to avg the 4-yrs is $1.16T which confirms the "transfer" of tax revenue from blue to red states claimed.

I could justify or explain that transfer by looking at the locations of the "coastal elites" or billionaires.
Simply put, the blue states have many more billionaires than red states and therefore pay more taxes than their states receive.

Semantic distraction used by right wingers to avoid the topic. We all know how the governing works. Derp derp. Stick to the topic of find greener pastures.

I see that education in this country has failed you. Good thing Trump is fixing the mess.

Democrats have failed regarding the education of children in this country. “Mr.” Randi Weingarten is a complete failure.

The same leftists who supported this then are the same ones denying that they would never support locking up dissidents in internment camps.

Trump supporters need to understand. It's us or them. There's no compromise or in between.

 

[citygator]

You dodged my answer because you can’t address it.

A’splain why you can’t acknowledge the damage done to this country by your comatose pretend president.

Ok. Answer yours event though you cowardly avoided answering mine first: You're looking at a small piece of all the funding that is done. The big picture is red states TAKE and blue states GIVE and that is all inclusive. I would 100% walk away from unbalanced funding in a heart beat. Red states should stand on their own or fail.... right?
