No shit. If only we didn't have a whole media ecosystem dedicated to keeping that sort of information from its viewers.

Well, they might reluctantly tell them....now. The damage is already on its way and they are salivating at the earnings they anticipate - just look at market speculation...
How many of his supporters probably even STILL think that China will be paying the tariffs, I wonder? Or that China isn't somehow "cheating" because "trade deficit"? How many of his supporters know that the people setting prices on their groceries boasted about this kind of thing on earnings calls, and it had sweet fuck-all to do with "Bidenflation" (whatever the fuck that is)? How many knew that our inflation as a consequence of Covid was less than other countries?
Our "liberal media" sure didn't work very hard to separate these people from their delusions.
No they won't. They'll repeat "promises made, promises kept" and if they're forced to comment on prices they'll blame immigrants or something. Reality has no influence on what Fox News reports.
They'll blame Obama and Biden.
Also, when it comes to what the "liberal media" may report on, very late, and with a fake kind of regret, and of course long after any voter could possibly do anything about it, I was talking more about the typical beltway media stuff, which of course is right-leaning and very corporate, but is not Cuckoo-for-Cocoa Puffs crazy like Faux....yeah, Faux will be telling people absolute bullshit the minute donvict soils the WH again.
I'm sure every redhat could be told their dong is 2x as big as a consequence, gas is a penny a gallon, and eggs are being given away now under donvict, and at least SOME of them would parrot this like good little cult members.
Good point. They were mouthing that at the end of donvict's first failed term, and I'm like....what promises were kept? Separating parents from children? I guess. Was that a promise? Same for the gigantic giveaways and reacharounds to the extremely wealthy? Okay, if that was a promise, I guess they kept it?
Yeah, no kidding.
Thank goodness so many people voted for the donvict because they didn't think Democrats cradled their balls sufficiently.
Running the country like a business will ensure that everything trickles down. Capitalism has never failed the commoners
Edit: I should add... /s
That's the irony here. There are a whole lot of dipshits that ascribe magical powers to "businessmen" and think it's only right and proper that they should run this country "like a business".
People never seem to understand that, with very few exceptions, at least in the United States, no business is run like a democracy (they are private tyrannies with top-down hierarchies). Honestly, it's this kind of thinking that leads people to believe it would just be fantastic to effectively downsize this country and do massive layoffs in the form of just leaving huge swathes of the country effectively out of the picture - either by cutting "waste" under the guidance of a totally clueless moron like Elon, or by deporting millions of workers.
People with the "businessmen uber alles" viewpoint see no problem with running this country like a private tyranny, because that's what a business is. A private tyranny. Most normal Americans would view making this country the private playground for the likes of Elon and donvict and Russian oligarchs truly obscene. Not the qons, I guess.
they didn’t think Democrats cradled their balls sufficiently.
I mean, when the vast majority of the country are working 2-3 jobs to barely survive, it's shocking they lost when they spent the entire campaign telling these people to be joyful about it. Dipshits, indeed.
Federal data puts multiple job holders at 5.3% of the working population. The highest recent number I can find is a survey done by Newsweek back in June, but that of course only counts the people who answered the survey. You'll find that neither of those numbers are "a vast majority".
Edit forgot the number from the Newsweek poll. It was listed at 36%.
Thank you. Very good points.
