Nope. Like Bill Clinton will say, it's the economy stupid

Labour whitewashing Conservatives in UK counters everything you just typed

All people care about is their pocket not all this yada yada yada. Economy is enough to move the 10% of voters needed to win an election

2008 recession was enough to move America from Conservative to Democrat. In a mirror move, UK moved from Labour to Conservative at the same time. 2024 the same thing happens in opposite direction in both countries. It's not about ideology or any nonsense, economic turmoil always changes voter choice
My first sentence was inflation.

Trump winning the election is nothing special

Almost every Government in Europe that was in power through the 2021-22 post COVID inflation cycle has been replaced in subsequent elections. In UK, we've had overwhelming landslide for Labour over Conservatives simply due to cost of living

It's simple logic that when people go through financial change, they change Government. Average Joe Blogs does not know economics or causes of inflation.

The Business Cycle simply favours Trump this time like it favoured Clinton in 1992 and Obama in 2008
There was inflation yes. The reasons govts are being changed is mostly to do with liberals going overboard. They want to control freedom of speech, importing immigrants from every shithole on earth and pampering them with freebies.
Europeans are not stupid to know that most terror attacks and grooming gangs are from the imports.
At the same time the EU is hankering on taking away the freedom of countries. Holding the EU laws superior to national laws..Meddling in elections to get pro globalists in power.. Demonizing the conservatives by making the term far right as something nefarious while we know the far left is worse.
Trump is not a globalist , he is a nationalist and selfish for being one.
Going after the rivals to globalisation like Marie Le Penn.
Tommi Robinson supporters know why they want him silenced

Ohh I get.. So when Trump was in power,the FBI were able to "rig" for Biden but now that he isn't in power and Biden is in power,they could not rig.

You see your argument and others do not make any sense at all. grin grin
Nonsense. They were part of the plot to rig so they half heatedly pretended to investigate.
Why they were unable to pull this one off. Too big to rig. Lara Trump at the helm of RNC had hawk eyed teams all over the usual suspects.
Why is Maricopa still counting Senate votes as of now While other states are done . Less than 800K votes.

This is a republican propaganda talking point.
Children undergoing gender reassignment surgery is absolutely extremely rare if ever. The most kids who undergo anything related to gender surgery are straight boys who have unmanly breast tissue and want it removed so they can be more manly. So if anything it’s straight boys doing this and then it’s still rare. You people don’t even live in America to be saying all the ish you’re saying. And you refuse to read actual statistics and studies done on this. Just picking up republicans propaganda and running with it.

Teacher FOR A FACT will get fired if they open their mouths to mention to a child that they are a different person trapped in a different body. Even if a child mentions this to a teacher, that teacher will direct them to school counseling.

I’ve lived in different states and so I’ve experienced different school systems. Even progressive California will not tolerate any teacher overstepping their scope to start telling children what to do with their bodies.

What makes it so easy to believe these nonsensical lies?
You love this man but I promise you he doesn’t think you deserve any respect as a woman. It’s unfortunate.

Minnesota governor signs executive order protecting rights to gender affirming care
Politics Mar 8, 2023 5:49 PM EST
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Gov. Tim Walz signed an executive order Wednesday protecting the rights of LGBTQ people from Minnesota and other states to receive gender affirming health care, as he slammed the tide of other states rolling back transgender rights.

“We want every Minnesotan to grow up feeling safe, valued, protected, celebrated, and free to exist as their authentic versions of themselves,” Walz said. “Protecting and supporting access to gender affirming health care is essential to being a welcoming and supportive state.
Walz’s executive order parallels legislation awaiting a floor vote in the state House to make Minnesota a “trans refuge state” by protecting trans people, families and care providers from a range of legal repercussions for traveling to Minnesota for gender affirming care, which includes a wide range of social and medical interventio


A kid in a state where gender surgery is banned is welcome in Tim Walz state.

Its ridiculous to claim that she suddenly became black or that she suddenly brought it up at any point.
Dude Trump confirmed from. McDonald's that they have no record of her ever working. Come to think of it, if she had It would have been all over the media. The media never proved she ever worked there.
The media has been looking for anything negative to pin on Trump, this would have been their ultimate proof of Trump being a liar

The other day you built a strawman for me and began to attack it, by saying that anyone claimed Trump was going to kill people on the scale Hitler did. I have not come across even one person who has alleged that. However that he has expressed admiration for facist ideas and methods and Hitler himself is absolutely beyond cavil.



This insistence that the beliefs of your co-discussant are nothing but media-influenced is mildly irritating because you are simply saying that your co-discussants lacks independent thinking capacities. It is a snide way of insulting your co-discussant. I have pointed out to you that anyone could easily say the same of you or any Trumpist as well. It is a cheap, easy and lame angle to hold on to once confronted with a different view.

To be clear, I draw my views of Trump from his indisputable deed and actions and not any propaganda.
He was there for 4 years. How many did he kill?
Have you read his plan on how he intends to dismantle the swamp? It was released last year.

He presents dangerous ideas in a way that dumbo folks like you accept at face value without any thoughts as to the effects on the masses. His social security tax plan will cut the source of funds for the program itself.

The same with his stupid proposed tariffs. If I tell you he plans to increase costs on consumer goods, you’ll call me a liar but that’s exactly what his tariff policy will do. Companies are already preparing to hike prices in readiness for the tariff hike. He truly did say he loves the uneducated and you guys are here proving him right. He never listens to experts in the field and his followers follow suit in such foolishness.

All the below information is from Forbes, market watch, financial times and the likes. I don’t post links often to prevent spambot attack but you can literally look it up yourself. I won’t hold my breathe though. I know it won’t fit your narrative so you won’t look into it.
I'm no economist but I know that increasing tariffs leads to manufacturing moving home. There is of course a window before everything levels off.
My understanding of the liberal economy is an increase in social spending leading to more debt . Liberals will increase spending under the guise of being humane but in reality they are creating a block of dependents on govt largese. The illegal immigrants paid $96B . How much was spent on them in the first case.

You stopped reading at the part where your comprehension stopped. Nothing surprising there.

Not only will the tax cut cause a collapse of the program in years sooner than expected, he’s planning to deport illegal immigrants who paid 96 billion dollars in taxes this past year. Another huge soruce of funds for these programs and don’t even benefit from it.

I’ve talked enough.

Let’s see what happens
Specifically you lied about cutting aid for the elderly. That's a blatant lie and you should apologize.
As for as Trump is concerned anything he does is bad,, the now disgraced and shamed media will always find fault.I think he has competent advisors who will tell him what's unworkable.
I'll give you an example. Net neutrality which was supposed to kill the internet..Led to increased bandwidth, wider coverage and lower internet charges.

I really like Musk but being a government adviser will be different, hopefully there won't be conflict of interest with his businesses, as Trump previously didn't warm up to Musk and his electric cars
That's a tight rope. Musk being in govt means His companies will get more business, not that they are not effective but because of his position where he can eliminate departments and funding for projects that he has an interest in.
For example , Trump don't believe in climate change, the bulk of Elon's wealth is from Tesla of which the liberal climate change agendas magnified by John Kerry , Al Gore etc require EV manufacturers get huge subsidies. Ditto solar energy of which he has an interest. Another area would be rare earth metals, basic building blocks for batteries. America doesn't mine because of the environmental waste produced and problematic disposal. It turns to China which don't give a hoot about the environment. America would also be concerned about cobalt mining in DRC using child labor.
******I do believe if Trump hired me, I'd be able to negotiate that tight corner . I'm qualified for that because I'm educated upto college level.That would require I get a visa to America too , which would force Ijebos to relocate in protest.****

You should go and hide your face in shame!

QED!
There was rigging I been singing from 2020. In a few months I'll be proven 1000% right.
The FBI is the most corrupt org on earth. It never investigated. For plausible deniability FBI said the level of fraud discovered was not enough to change the election outcome.
My take. It was the most fraudulent election ever.

You can vote against the wellbeing of others and expect to be rewarded by friendship and love from the same people you’re voting against.

Democrat policies do not harm republicans. All you do is lose face as the person who supported the losing party. Which means nothing at the end of the day

Republican policies hurt everyone. The poor, the middle class. The immigrants. The disabled. The vets. It’s not about losing face here. Everyone gets hurt by republicans. The past 50 years economic trends have shown republicans hurt everyone.

Trump said he’s cutting social security benefits for old people. Aged grandmothers and grandfathers will have to go back to work under that social security cut. You voted to have that evil done to them. He’s going to cut Medicare and Medicaid. You just voted so that lower income people will not have access to healthcare.
He plans to cut veterans benefits. Disability for veterans will be cut or totally denied when possible. You voted to have people who fought for this country not have anything to fall back on in their old age when they are retired and disabled from war activities.

You people claim patriotism but vote against everything that holds the country together. There’s no humanity in the way y’all vote.

You should not be rewarded for it by the same people you’re inflicting the injury on. That’s entitlement on your parts.
I stopped at Cutting social security for the elderly. Total lie.
He is lowering their tax rate so they have more disposable incomes.
Completely total fabrication. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Ijebos, you need a college degree to get an education.

Ivy League schools across the US canceled classes, postponed exams and told students they could color in with crayons and offered milk and cookies to cope with Donald Trump's resounding victory in the presidential election. Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania, which is Donald Trump's alma mater - told students they could take the day off. At Harvard, classes ranging from applied math to the study of ancient Greek heroes were called off, The Harvard Crimson reported. University of Pennsylvania professors hastily adjusted exam schedules and offered additional support to students reeling from Trump's win

Funny story.

A friend of mine was supposed to take her Citizenship test in a couple of weeks.
She's Nigerian and got a visa for work.
She was having a hard time with the questions (not sure why), so I was tutoring her on overarching concepts. Thought it would help her understand them better.
One day we were talking about civics and she told me she was a Trump supporter.
I've known this woman for 3 years, we hang regularly and was shocked. I get it, it's probably religion, but still either you're not keeping up with world affairs or you're comfortable with his character.
Anyhow, I quietly started ghosting her. Have zero tolerance for Trump Supporters.
She called a bunch of times before the election. Didn't pick up.
I finally spoke with her earlier this week the day before the election and told her she should study it herself in a kind way.
She called me about 5 times yesterday.
Finally picked and she was freaking out. She told me that a friend told her that Trump will probably change the naturalization test like he did last time and make it much harder for people to get citizenship. That she wanted to makes sure she passed the test this time. That I should help her.
I said, cool, let me call you later.
Ain't calling her.
I'm sure if she devotes her time she'll pass. And if she doesn't, oh well. Should have thought about that support for Trump.

By June 10, 2020 Gen. Milley had decided not to resign. “Fucck that shit,” he reportedly told his staff. “I’ll just fight him.” Milley assured his confidants that he would never openly defy the president—a move he considered illegal—but he was “determined to plant flags.” He told his staff, “If they want to court-martial me or put me in prison, have at it, but I will fight from the inside.” Milley saw himself as “tasked” with safeguarding “against Trump and his people” from potentially misusing the military, something he confided in a “trusted confidant” to ensure he remained true to this plan. “I have four tasks from now until the twentieth of January,” he affirmed, “and I’m going to accomplish my mission.”
