Ok... so... who here thinks he'll end up shot sooner or later?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (19 children)

All these guys just say what the public wants to hear before election.

Behind the scenes, this guy wants to be a billionarie, and the way there is to make a political career, saying whatever is popular with the voters.

There is no risk of being shot because all this guy is doing is trying to get popular, just like every other political guy before him. He wont be able to get rid of billionaries even if he wanted to.

This is after he won the election, though

I thought he was a nominee? Article says that anyway. But still, there is zero chance that any of these guys will make any changes that are helping the ordinary people and hurts billionaries. Its a system where they have money and power and most of the citizens do not.

People are desperate for hope, and thats why his strategy is working. It is simular to Trumps own strategy also. They all come out and act as if they represent the ordinary people, and everyone buys it every time.

Trump is doing exactly what he promised.

He promised to lower the cost of groceries. That isn't going so well.

Inflation is as 2.4%. A much as I hate to say it, it isnt that had.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Inflation doesn't feel great but the cost of groceries is a different metric. Grocery prices are still up and rising faster than inflation.

In my opinion groceries probably should cost more but rent and several other expenses should be far lower. How long ago was it that budgeting 1/3 of income for food was considered normal?

To continue the fear campaign and deportation based on skin color.. to hold up the status quo where industry is allowed to bypass all laws. To keep the poor man tricked into paying more taxes. Republican playbook as well as things written between the lines that are coming true. Project 2025..
