Political Memes

It's directly beneficial in the short term. The statement obviously needs some caveats like the world coming to an end as a result of Trump's reelection, but in general Trump policies are generally going to directly benefit the middle, upper middle, and upper class white people more than Biden's policies.

• DEI is good for society, but it doesn't add money to my pocket.

• Social Security is probably going to be gone by the time I can collect it, so cutting Social Security means I keep more money now.

• I don't have kids so cutting education funding or making it private would save me money.

• I have a job with great insurance, cutting medicare/medicaid would save me money.

• Global warming and emissions are a huge deal, but no truly meaningful progress is being made with Biden or the rest of the world. If you believe an apocalyptic scenario is the outcome of the current state of things, and we accept that that is inevitable, then why make things harder for myself now? It's like being in a burning house with one person running around with a glass of water and another guy getting out his lighter to light a joint.

Strictly speaking, if we take "everything is going to literally end" off the table as an outcome of a second Trump term then most likely his policies are going to be more directly beneficial to me.

Thankfully I don't feel this way, a rising tide lifts all ships, and we shouldn't look only to next quarter's profits. However, the far left shouldn't bark and bite at people helping advance their agenda for not doing it fast enough, it just alienates the altruistic people who want to help.
