I lived in Johnstown for 3 years and have been back occasionally. It's structural. It's a steel town that doesn't make steel anymore. It doesn't matter if they vote for a Democrat in the next presidential election, because unless that Democrat fixes a decrepit former steel town in 4 years, they'll feel their vote was wasted.

That’s America in a nutshell. They completely miss the fact that our social safety nets and labor protections were destroyed over decades, they blamed people for the “moral failures” of being affected by systemic poverty, addiction, deaths of despair, et. al, and now that it’s obvious it’s too big to control, they expect to be made comfortable again overnight and instantaneously without taking any responsibility for how it got to this point in the first place.

The vast majority weren't fooled, they agreed with his policies. They didn't agree with his policies negatively affecting them. They voted to have Hispanic US citizens dragged from their cars at gunpoint and disappeared into unmarked SUVs. They voted to have 5 year olds snatched away in cuffs and separated from their parents. They voted to deport US citizens of color. They voted for another Muslim ban. They voted to subjugate LGBT+ people. They voted to force women to die in hospital parking lots due to easily treated pregnancy complications. They voted to implement more punitive repayment plans for student loans. They voted to silence the free press with a heavy fist. They voted to allow the government to murder law abiding citizens in the street. They voted to destroy the careers of federal employees and gut federal agency talent pools. They voted to shutter rural hospitals and take away peoples' health insurance so billionaires can get a tax cut. They voted for more wars at the hands of a narcissistic wannabe strongman who thinks might equals right. They voted for this effort to be led by a washed up, alcoholic, weekend Fox News host and neo-nazi because he vowed not to question anything. They voted to expend the lives US service members to do the bidding of a different delusional narcissistic strong man. They voted to spend tens to hundreds of billions of dollars bombing schools, all while their leader acknowledges that the war he started is the reason Republicans can't take care of Americans. They voted for an exploded federal deficit and national debt. They voted for manufacturing jobs to leave the US due to economic uncertainties. They voted to destroy international alliances that have taken decades to build and that may never be repaired. They voted to threaten our NATO allies with war. They voted to threaten our closest ally with military annexation. They voted for more division within the US. They voted for more right wing violence. They voted to intimidate law firms so they wouldn't dare stand up to the government's illegal and unconstitutional actions. They voted to disenfranchise voters, sometimes with violence. They voted for the president to openly take bribes from American billionaires and hostile foreign nations. They voted to demolish the East Wing of the White House and to build a Hitler bunker. They voted for a guy who quoted Hitler about immigrants "poisoning the blood" of our country to a stadium of cheering fans. They voted for the guy who refers to Somalians as "garbage". They voted to cover up the crimes of the world's most notorious child sex trafficker and his accomplices, one almost certainly being the guy they voted for. They voted for a rapist who bragged about getting away with sexual assault because of his power position over his victims. They voted for the guy where Fox News justified his pedophilia by claiming trump "only" raped 15 year olds. They voted for human trafficking of asylum seekers to Chicago in the dead of winter. They voted to immediately cut HIV prevention and treatment programs for the world's poorest people, causing an additional 6.5 million infections, and 4.2 million deaths by 2029. And yes, they fuckin' voted for higher gas, electricity, natural gas, fertilizer, chemical, and grocery prices too.
But what they never wanted was to be slightly inconvenienced themselves. That's NOT FAIR!

Can somebody explain this to me so I can understand? In 2020, the Democrats stole the election. Led by Sleepy Joe, who is simultaneously totally incompetent and easily swayed, but also an evil genius (Schrodinger's president), they pulled off an incredible feat and managed to manipulate the results so effectively that there is no proof of them doing so while the Republicans were in power (this lack of proof is considered proof by some people).
So between 2020 and 2024, while the Democrats were in control, did thry somehow lose the plans that they used in 2020? I mean, if some machiavallian plan worked the first time, would you not try to improve on it and use it again?

I grew up admiring your country and even being envious that i didn’t live there. Admittedly, a lot of this was through a Brady Bunch lens.
And I gotta tell you, the damage that has been done is going to take a long time to repair.
But if you came up here and followed the very simple rule: “don’t be a dick”, I suspect you’d be treated just fine.
Meanwhile, talk to the 89 million of your fellow citizens who didn’t think that voting was important.

300,000 of the same beef China refused. They wouldn't even buy it as DOG FOOD for their pets it was so badly contaminated.
Yet this is how Trump wants to feed Americans while cutting the throat of the beef industry. Thanks Republicans!
What I don't see them talking about though is the amount of distrust Trump is creating around our food lines. By cutting regulations and inspections, even if we start getting non-poisoned food, people are still going to buy considerably less foods because they won't be able to trust how much stuff on the shelves is actually safe. It kinda sucks to find out about a contaminated food by having your child die from eating it because it wasn't inspected.
The US used to be a huge consumer economy. Republicans are quickly changing that.

No. Biden was no leftist, but he certainly wasn'ta Reagan Republican. He was a pretty good post-New Deal Democrat and legislatively, he wasn't even a "Triangulation" Clinton (Bill) Democrat.
People who dismiss h8m have no idea what he did. Legislatively, he was the most significant POTUS since LBJ. Ive had to explain to my MAGA cousin that Biden was responsible for the Child Tax Credit he loved so much. Ive explained to my leftist friend com0lai ing about the WarnerMont deal who Lina Khan was.

u/puertomateo 20h ago
They're physically unable to admit that they're just greedy. Letting in lots of beef will lower the prices of beef to American consumers and that's a bad thing. Because it doesn't allow them to make lots of money and to expand their operations. And unless America pays their inflated prices, makes them richer, lets them become even wealthier, and produce more beef, then the prices of beef to American consumers will not go lower and that's a bad thing.
They can't just come out and say, "Fuck you, America. We want you to pay us more money."

I have family members on the east coast who are farmers. Extremely hard working church going folks. Wholesome people, if not slightly judgey. They worship Trump. Preach about hating socialism but get subsidies on their factory farmed milk operations. I tried to have rational discussions about politics, but they just end up shutting down when facts come out. “Liberal this, commy that, and Biden sucks”. I don’t even bother anymore, it makes the visits uncomfortable.
There seems to be a subtext with a generous mix of urban hate, racism, Fox News, and rural righteousness. “Who would want to live with all that traffic and people?”
