He probably deserves his own thread at this point, discuss accordingly

I rather have an incompetent government for a couple years then an authoritarian/fascist regime lead by a convict .

But that’s just me .

authoritarian fascist was a hunch

even worse of an alternative was not so much of a hunch

i have never voted for trump - just that most people i know who voted for him did it not in support of him but rather in rebuke of the other options


Wasn’t an hunch at all .
Only those that voted for trump didn’t see it or they were in favour of it , shrug .

How many times we warn them pre election and the answer was -> tds .

The guy try to overturn an election .
The guy don’t care about rule law at all.
The guy said not respecting the constitution was fine .
Project 2025 was bs (?) despite countless of his close advisors was on it .
Etc …

Anyway it’s done , no need to relive the past .

Even if an N of 100...... I think the election of DJT had more to do with other issues.

He won in 2024 largely because the Democrats were tied to the worst inflation in 40 years. Exit polls showed that was the biggest issue for voters and voters blamed the Democrats for that.

Doesn’t matter .
I’ll take inflation over fascism any day of the week and twice on Sunday .
1970 was even worst , democracy survived .

Those that voted for trump by blaming democrats got no worthwhile excuses to complain ….despite any reason they could fine .

There is not much reasons that I would vote for an authoritarian/fascist regime over democracy/liberty shrug .
Especially when it’s lead by a convict that try to overthrow an election .

We live in an era where the reality of today would have been “rolled eyes” science fiction in a bad 1980s movie plot having a president like trump and still been cheered by almost half the country .

Ps: the most paradoxical, it’s been pushed to victory by a party that for decades said they would defend “freedom” at all cost .
Such BS.

It doesn't matter. That is why Trump won in 2024. People were pissed about inflation and blamed the Democrats.

Yes , then they just deal with the consequences shrug .
Don’t they come here and complain for democrats about that they didn’t had a person they like to vote for …..
Good luck for them .
They will learn soon enough a fascist/authoritarian regime is far more problematic then a little Inflation .
And the fact blaming democrats for it was pretty hilarious too.
As if democrats created the worldwide inflation that happens post covid .
Ignorance is bliss , until the bill comes due .

And if course trumps policies like tariffs and pressuring for low rates will just make inflation worse. But many lower class types won’t be able to understand that.

"Not my fault" never works as an explanation for Presidents. Voters give Presidents blame when things go bad and credit when they go good.

If inflation comes roaring back to 8-9 percent due to tariffs and rate cuts, voters will crush the Republicans because of it. There wasn't just a "little inflation" that pissed off voters.

fair


Going by Facebook and Reddit, I think many trump voters actually believed Trump would bring prices down, not just inflation. So part of why his rating on inflation is that far under water is a decent chunk of his voters were expecting something anyone mildly knowledgeable knew wasn’t going to happen; some combination of high employment and decreasing prices.

yes when he promised to fix inflation they understood it as "bringing the price level where it was before".

except for energy where potentially that is possible through extreme deregulation and international shenanigans, it's quite absurd to think other prices can go down 10-15% without a massive, disastrous economic depression.

And even in that case it would be terrible for asset prices, public finances and so on.


lol musk this is so embarassing



Can't wait to be saved by Elon, Steve Bannon, and Tommy Robinson (or is it Stephen Christopher Yaxley? or Paul Harris? or Stephen Lennon? or Andrew McMaster? or Wayne King?)

For one thing, that appears to be the Arc de Triomphe.

yes that's the embarrassing part


Yes the only embarassing part is surely that they failed to ask their propaganda machine for a picture in nuremberg

Trillion dollar ideas- a software company called “Macrohard” and the next version of Grok being “Version 420”.


truly the dumbest timeline

Goofy might be banned from 2p2 now but certainly looks like a win to me


Hopefully Goofy is now aware that Musk is a vaporware salesman.


I know GFY is super concerned about honoring bets so I'm sure he is doing everything possible to locate Keeed and close this up.
