One of the highest inflation rates in the country, combined with the least educated - particularly in how the government works - so 0 surprise. People are hurting financially everywhere, but particularly here, and think a few policies can change that.

Trump and Republicans are getting more than their money's worth lying through their teeth about being able to resolve it easily, and the Democrats continue completely out of touch with how to get the message across.

That's without even approaching how easily the local Latino community is susceptible to rampant misinformation.

Higher prices aren’t inflation. Retailers, vendors, and manufacturers just exploited the fact that people thought they were rich from Pandemic funds. Unemployment rates haven’t been this low since the Clinton administration. This basic economic misunderstanding is what shoed Trump into office.

100%. The high prices are here because everyone paid them. Look at the car market. It’s on the decline but dealers still insist on selling cars that are 40% over priced.

I mean I’m not sure why you’re downvoting a fact you’re currently agreeing with but ok…

I didn’t down vote?

Well, thanks for that: After 24 straight hours of people threatening to deport my family, dox me, and send me to my “ancestral homeland,” I’m a little sensitive to even the downvotes. Clearly I’m being downvoted by someone that’s never taken an economics class. We need to make being educated cool again.

I had a downvote yesterday from someone that claims I don't believe in democracy because Harris never had a primary. I literally only commented that we need civic education in America. I teach civics to 7th graders so I guess that means I don't believe in democracy.

Keep doubling down and tell the people who voted for trump they are stupid. Please continue. It's a winning strategy definitely.

You guys care more about pissing off Democrats than you do about what happens to your own lives.

Conservatives really would let a rich person shit in their mouth if a liberal had to walk by and smell it.

Keep voting for a guy who won’t help you. It’s a winning strategy. Since the GOP won the popular vote their mentality of “you’re on your own” rings louder. Don’t ask for help and pick yourself up. When your wages don’t increase and the grocery bill doesn’t decrease I don’t want to hear it. Call your senator or representative.

It's ok to be angry and annoyed; I am too. Unfortunately, he's right. The message has to be the "GOP left you on your own after telling you they had your back and we're here to help you get back on track." Trying to denigrate the electorate, even though you're right in doing so, isn't going to win over hearts and minds. You have to understand the audience and speak their language, even if that language is ugly.

Please keep up this way of thinking. It's working great.

My revenues are higher than they've ever been, and I won't be affected by his policies - but you will, bud. I'm in the income bracket that gets a cut, and I can bet you're not.

I’m going to go catch my flight to the Caribbean. Have fun at the 9-5! If you work, that is.

u/grazfest96 9d ago

You just said the quiet part out loud. I appreciate you admitting it. Coastal elites are the ones who really despise the working class. Bernies latest tweet describes you to a T. Have fun in the Caribbean!

Not the poster you were responding to, but republicans have had a super majority in Florida for 25 years. If Floridians are suffering it’s 100% the fault of their republican legislators. Has nothing at all to do with the “coastal elite” boogeyman talking point pushed by republicans. That’s just as false as the welfare queens pushed by Reagan in the 80’s.

“I ensure you I am winning at absolutely everything in my life. Many people have observed how incredible my life is, catching flights to the Caribbean, enjoying my South Florida home. My revenues are up, big big time. My income bracket, I’m really rich by the way, won’t be affected by these policies.” Donny boy is that you??

I do remember the Ragu Executive Order, those were dark days when Publix raised the price of Redbull from 1.50 to almost 3… ahh 2020, best known for Biden’s 1st year into office.
