Congrats! You should consider starting a Roth IRA. If there's still a functioning economy 40 years from now, you will be glad you did.

Empty places where you can see the horizon but there is no evidence of humanity. It makes me feel the vastness of time, or like I'm outside of time in a way. Its hard to describe but I find it peaceful and it makes me appreciate being alive.
I think it will take longer than that, there's still a lot of rich people who don't think Trump will really do the tariffs or the mass deportation. Once it becomes clear that is really happening the economy will likely start getting all kinds of messed up fast.
Also, as others have told you, inflation is actually low again currently and that is why rates are coming down now. This is the "soft landing" that everyone was talking about, just in time for Trump to take the helm.

As an American who occasionally follows Aussie politics, it is impressive how many ridiculously terrible PMs you guys have elected. My vote goes to ScuMo.
You dont think Obama in 2008 was a real primary? His campaign fought hard for that nomination, it definitely wasn't handed to them.
There is a part of the bible about lusting after donkey dicks and horse jizz.
I'm sorry you feel patronized, that wasn't my intent. It seemed like you were just really ignorant, I didn't realize you were pretending not to understand. Now I don't understand how you pretending to be ignorant brings a semblance of reality to anything, that seems very counterintuitive to me.
It looks like he has both shrunk and expanded his voters. From what I'm seeing he did significantly better than he has in the past with various groups and in various places, but you are right it looks like overall his numbers declined by several million. Both sides underperformed compared to 2020 and Trump won because he underperformed less.
In a democracy it is possible to democratically elect an anti-democratic leader. It's one of the ironies and paradoxes of democratic political systems. I think if you study history some more the world should start making more sense for you.
Trump is so far outperforming compared to 2020, its looking like he did increase his support. Definitely among younger people his numbers are significantly better than 2020.
Air America? It was a lefty talk radio network about 20 years ago that was an attempt to build a parallel media infrastructure that could compete with the monsters on AM radio. Obviously the money ran out so it didn't last.
