And even smarter people know a vote for Trump will be another disaster with crazy policies. And it’s all out there to be read, they’re broadcasting it. They’re not hiding it. Trump is already saying he’s going to use the justice system to go after opponents (an insane thought you would normally disagree on). He’s already talking about putting tariffs on at least 10% of imports which is only going to cost you more money. His buddies like MTG want to completely gut every federal agency and tear them down (sure they can be more efficient, but they literally don’t want them to exist). They want to establish a Christian nationalist agenda. Remember that pesky separation of church and state you used to believe in? Project 2025 lays out their other insane agenda items. They want to criminalize porn. You want to live in that world? They want to eradicate the Affordable care act. They want to eliminate the department of education and free lunch programs for kids with poor families. They want to get rid the agency that tracks hurricanes and any other government institution that might have concerns about the climate. They want to expand all presidential powers to the point where Trump is king through the Unitary Executive Theory. Even for you guys that love to blow Trump, that can’t be what you want. They want to change thousands of government jobs from merit based jobs to political appointees. So jobs that used to require you to be smart in a certain agency now wouldn’t need you to be smart at all in your field. Instead Trump can hire anyone he wants that’s loyal and will be a yes man. I’m sure some of you love the sound of the My Pillow Guy in a major role in making key decisions for government agencies though.
I have never agreed with
@warrior-cat before and probably never will but we need a 3rd option of some kind. Not a huge Biden fan but I’m frightened of what Trump and the crazy right want to turn this country into.
Going after his political opponents l...like this admin JUST DID???? Also did he lock Hillary up?
MTG's crazy ass? Yeah, any crazier than cori bush and jamal bowman? Isn't the current guy allowing a daily Charlottesville with hamas supporters bc he's worried about losing some votes in Michigan?
Christian nationalism is a james Carville focus group created talking point...no one buys it and polled terribly so they gave up on it.
Federal agencies...youre under the impression any job the government created is good? Where'd you like to start? Maybe start with 7.5 billion spent on EV charging and in his tenure 7 Have been built. Great work.
The department of education is a waste...how on earth did ppl get educated before the 70s? It's a beaurcracy of thousands of ppl msking and avg of 110k a year where that money could go to the states to spend on their schools..who know their education needs...not to special interest groups or teachers unions. Are you under the impression that if the government creates a department called "the fun cuddly caring department" that's what they do? Who on earth would get rid of fun and cuddly?
They want to eliminate checks and balances...like how the democrats are trying to destroy the Supreme Court bc they want it to be an extension of the legislative branch to shove through policy whims thru? And how they continually mislead the public on what the job of the court is. Claiming their udealogues every time something they don't like gets struck down.
We can do this forever. Im not going thru all this drivel. I'm guessing you believed the 16 economist signatories claiming the economy would get worse in the press yesterday....bit didn't look to see who the economists were, like janet yellens husband, democrat congressional consultants etc...the same ones that said it would happen in 2016, the exact same ones that signed a letter that said the inflation reduction act would work wonders, weeks before 40 year high inflation.
Personally, I like Desantis better, but the democrats wanted trump...they wanted to play the odds. They've done all they could to make him the nominee. There's no reason to believe anything they say with these fear mongering tactics, that wont happen, or bc you don't understand the nuance of any policy. If there was a mitt Romney resurgence, they'd be calling him hitler right now too. We know, bc they did.
