What you just said is a lie because Trump never lies, liar!
“It’s insane to think a convicted fraud would lie, right?”

Leopards are going to be obese
That's how we stop them ... let the leopards eat so many faces that they get big and fat and can't eat any more faces.
Only problem is, they've been eating faces for thousands of years and they're still not full :(
Like the kill bots? Throw people at them until they hit their pre defined killing limit so they shut down. I like the cut of your jib.
Trump has been saying he was going to block this deal since early in his campaign. The Biden Administration was / is going to block it as well. The United Steelworkers Union has publicly said that it wants it blocked.
So WTF is all of this hubbub about? What's happening here is absolutely no surprise at all.
Trump said something and then proceeds to actually do it?
I would be surprised too.
Okay I snorted out loud at that one. That WOULD be a surprise!

This is shit propaganda and most of you are eating it up. The union didn't want this deal either. Harris and Biden also pledged to block it. Just yesterday, the union released a statement thanking Trump for reiterating his support:
Not exactly. Everything you said is true, but the post is also true. The union does support the blocking of this deal at the national level. But some local workers and officials support the deal.

ROFL All his lies are clearly available online; the fuck around and find out phase is going to be epic for all the fools that actually believed Trump. I'm admittedly terrified for those who are in the marginalized communities, though, because this will likely be a presidency that erodes a lot of protections for those that racists and bigots hate. 😔
Aside from Trump being an awful ~~liar~~ human, he is also evidently Japanophobic. What good logical reason is there to oppose the deal? Japan isn't a rival like China, it is the US's most willing ally. This will hurt more than just union jobs.
he is also evidently ~~Japano~~phobic
With this small correction, everything makes sense
Leopard meet face
“They fell for the con” seems harsh and inaccurate.
Everyone knew Trump was lying with his promises. But Dems couldn’t even be bothered to offer empty promises. If your only options are someone who openly doesn’t give a shit about you, or someone who pretends to (even though they’re probably lying), you’re better off taking a chance on the lie.
If a con man offers me the world, and you offer me nothing, and I listen to the con man... I've still fallen for the con, my guy.

Except they had some coherent and sound policy? A lot if it is way too status quo or populist when that clearly isnt working.
Trump has some sound policy too (as much as Lemmy would hate to admit it), but its also filled with obvious leapord face eating proposals, even if you 100% believe him.
And its not like he hasn't been president already, albeit much more restrained before.
Thats the most baffling thing about Trump support to me... There's this hope, this fantasy he's the change we need when we have no other choice, when that is absolutely not true if you look at his cabinet, history, and policy. He's a grifter even if you look at hus history before politics. Why does he get the benefit of the doubt?
What was their coherent and sound policy?
Dems just still believe they’re entitled to the working class vote, and aren’t willing to offer anything to earn it. Still the failed Clinton strategy of skipping them over, but counting on their votes anyway.
Uh, how about not giving the rich massive tax breaks and rocketing the national debt even higher so quickly? Anti inflation measures, support for higher wages? Actual support for unions, as tepid as it may be? Attempts to relieve debt? Let's start with that.
What exactly do you think Trump is even theoretically bringing that Dems aren't?
The Dems were not offering anything like that. You’re pulling that out of your ass.
I didn’t say Trump was better. The Dems and GOP are two sides of the same fascist coin. We have to defeat them both.
Those were the basics of Harris's platform. Tax the wealthy, support unions, tamper inflation.

Do executive orders count?

What about pro-union congressional bills that are being blocked by Republicans?
What exactly is the Republican coherent and sound policy? Because the one I've seen is largely union-busting and cutting regulations on businesses. Democrats have definitely failed to show the work they're doing and show how Republicans have fought tooth and nail to block and roll back worker protections, but it is entirely disingenuous to claim Dems "openly don't give a shit about you."

You're right critical thinking is hard for people, but it's still a con and they still fell for it.
If you know the political process is filled with liars and your only options is someone that doesn't want to make overblown statements that are clearly lies and someone that does lie (you know this because of his past lies) then you should have picked the person that lies the least.

honestly I have to agree with this. I don't agree with a lot of things he wants to do, but directly outsourcing more industries out of the US isn't helpful to the US. Costs stay up since it rarely leads to prices going down once they are up. it just moves out of country/makes us more dependant on others

4 more years of the dumbest sheep of all time complaining about the wolf they just worshipped like a god, while the entire time he told them he was going to fuck their lives up so hard the moment he got the chance.
