feelin cute, gonna repost this, might delete later k love you bi
Kamala Harris lost every swing state AND the Senate. We live in the same country we did 4 years ago, we live in the same country that elected Barrack Obama twice.
People are paying 50% more for bread, eggs, and rent, with no relief given, no corporate greed stiffled BEFORE it hit average Americans in the face, and just kept hitting them. The average American doesn't care about economic numbers, they care about whether or not they can pay the rent.
Trump isn't going to make any of this better, he's going to make it ordinates worse. People vote for change, when faced with the inevitability of suffering they'll vote for different, come what may.
It's not 50% more though. I track my groceries closely going back almost ten years and it's more like a 15% increase in staple items compared to 2018. Processed food, luxury meat and frozen food is like 30-60% higher (my data on this is less robust) but milk, eggs and bread is not 50% more expensive unless you are buying the most expensive options.
You can literally go look at commodity market price history. Wheat is 9% above 2018. Cheese is 6% higher. Milk +17%, rice +10%, eggs +12%.
Definitely thought this was a statement on Amish Pennsylvania at first... cuz that's just how markets look like there lol
Blessed be the cheap fruit
These memes demonstrate that Democrats and people who obsess over politics online know nothing, learned nothing, and it wouldn't surprise me if four years of fascism isn't enough to change their behavior.
Yes.
Voters told Democrats that their biggest concern was poverty and the economy. They not only nominated someone with evident brain damage, but said candidate presided over severe inflation that had workers enduring 2-3 jobs just to be stuck unable to pay for basic necessities, and they wasted two months telling these struggling workers to be joyful, without any irony or concept of how tone-deaf that was.
Here in deep-red Missouri, we passed a $15 minimum wage and mandatory sick leave in a landslide. We voted down the abortion ban in a landslide. We also elected a Republican for governor and voted Trump as a state.
This should tell you that yes, the economy was in fact the most important issue on the ballot, not putting women in their place.
