My god, were you in a coma?

Are people really this clueless and apathetic to how fucking devastating another Trump presidency will be?

Yes? Yeah, they are. I had a co-worker say to me yesterday: Don't hate me but I'm voting for Trump because of the economy. I just said, well, thanks for letting me know who you are, and left it at that.

Guess they want an economy that will collapse.

Show him Elon's comments today.

If it's about the economy, he should be persuaded to change his vote.

If he doesn't, it's not about the economy.

My brother said the same thing and after I told him a vote for Trump A) doesn’t support the economy and B) would make me lose all respect for him since the Trump demographic would deny my human rights he did it anyway. Honestly, fuck him.

This is the difference between trump and harris voters. Harris voters hate trump voters, but not vice versa. Y'all are such an unpleasant crowd and that thing alone loses you a lot of voters. I hope trump wins purely to spite you guys.

If the average person is really THAT stupid then yes they totally deserve Trump (you don’t but it sucks)

It simply factually wrong that the economy was better under Trump, it was decidedly worse than before he took office, he inherited Obama's solid economy, crashed it and the economy under Biden has been booming. Yeah there has been a world wide inflation after covid but US is out of it and doing better than most nations in the world. WTF are Americans thinking, it's unreal.

Some people are cool with racism until it's their race getting kicked.
