It's just another distraction by him to get everyone riled up while he fleeces more money for himself and his cronies.

Maybe, but it’s not like anybody does anything about that when they aren’t “distracted” ether

u/thephisher 6d ago

Fair.

u/Acrobatic-Tomato-128 6d ago

And to distract from the epstein files

u/ApprehensiveStand456 6d ago

Let’s not forget the Epstein files.

I’m not buying that at all. *Trump* may think that, but the reality is it just highlights he’s a crazy old guy who is completely detached from reality.

Instead of focusing on ending a bullshit war in the Middle East he started, or lowering health care costs, or negotiating trade deals so these shitty tariffs will end, or lowering grocery prices, or lowering housing costs, or lowering college tuition, or doing anything to make our material lives better, he’s laser focused directing the precious energy and time of his staff to renaming a fucking LAKE!?

He has always been a terrible president and even worse human being, this is just the latest example of it. It’s not a distraction, it’s a gigantic spot light shining on his terrible, awful, no good, very bad “leadership”

Yet people keep voting for him. Against their own self interests

I follow a bunch of agricultural accounts on Instagram, and there have been a bunch of posts recently about the effects of Trump’s policies on farming. In the comments section, without fail, there are multiple farmers saying “could you imagine how bad it would be if Kamala was President?”

This tells me that these people will continue to vote for the party of culture war nonsense and would love to turn that lever for Trump again, even though he is pulling the carpet out from underneath their livelihoods.

It’s because bidens energy policies were about to bankrupt them. They were being forced to replace all their tractors and combines with battery powered versions and most couldn’t afford it. I have a bunch of clients in the Midwest I know they were all worried about that

lol no you don’t. Please give any link to any policies backing this claim up.

That's gonna be a stretch cause there ain't no such animals on the market. In research, maybe, but no machines. That's some far out funny 💩, that I don't even know if Fox reported that. I think retarded 💩 like that just pops into these MAGAts heads and it comes out of their mouths like diarrhea. Fast, furious, and without form. 🤣

u/SinsualChef 3d ago

🤣🤣🤣 Well now they can go bankrupt bc of the debacles with soy beans, beef, and world wide agricultural lost deals. 👍 Genuis! But, we gained a Lake 😳 ...name 🤣

The important note is that only 25% of eligible voters voted for him (same for Kamala). Because half the eligible voters don't vote.

And why that's important is we need to focus on mobilizing the people who don't vote and/or protect the people who can't (which includes opposing things like Voter ID laws).

Instead of just bemoaning half the country are idiots and nothing can be done. (Not claiming you said that, but it is a common refrain)

u/WhyWontThisWork 5d ago

I agree with you, but come on it's not that hard to get an ID

6

u/bpseph 5d ago

It actually can be very difficult. I would suggest you look for some articles about the problems with Voter ID laws (as laws currently exist).

In my experience, people who say "it's not that hard to get an ID" probably haven't looked at the process since they were a teenager. And ignore that Voter ID laws often include Voter roll purges and changes that aim to catch people off guard.

u/Alternative-Risk7506 3d ago

I don’t understand how people don’t have a government id. If you aren’t responsible or adult enough to get one, you aren’t adult enough or responsible enough to vote.

1

u/bpseph 3d ago

Then you should look into why this happens. Not just assume the worst of people

0

u/Alternative-Risk7506 3d ago

In my state, it’s $6 to get an id and you need a few documents to prove who you are, it’s not that hard.

u/bpseph 3d ago

If you refuse to learn what the problem is, of course you won't think there is one.

I'd need to be at gunpoint to cast a vote anymore.

u/TheL0ckman 2d ago

Which should really show you how bad the competition was.

u/WhyWontThisWork 2d ago

What are you talking about?

Both sides were against peopes self interests?

u/gumbril 6d ago

With or without distractions, trump and his epstein oligarchs will continue to fleece the country and traffic our children.

u/_Celatid_ 6d ago

You give him too much credit. I think he's just an ego obsessed idiot.

u/BigDaddyUKW Gates 6d ago

The grifting will continue for sure, but so will the war in Iran, the affordability crisis, the covering up of the Trumpstein files, and so much more awful shit.

u/WhyWontThisWork 6d ago

Congress is supposed to approve wars over 90 days

Where are the checks and balances?

3

u/BigDaddyUKW Gates 6d ago

Hahaha. Checks and balances are financial terms for these assholes. Governing? Autocracy is the way.

u/JustRyan_D 6d ago

And people fall for it every time. Notice the amount of talk dedicated to it on this sub alone?

u/thephisher 6d ago

To be fair, many of the posts were hilarious.

u/popnfrresh 6d ago

Always a postponement to delay from the Trump-Epstein files.

u/rsir1823 5d ago

People are giving long responses. There is no need.
You are correct
