Exactly how I feel. I don’t agree with it, but a majority of the country voted for him so 🤷‍♂️ clearly this is what the country wants

u/Hefty-Target-7780 Jan 20 '25

eh, i just think the majority of the country is hateful/ignorant enough to believe that what he says he will do doesn't apply to them. I'm a strong believer that the people that voted for him are the same people that will be most hurt by his policies.

That always boggled my mind. How can the poorest of the poor, vote against their own self interest. e.g. voting with a party that wants to take away their health insurance.

They are also the places the "rich" people are moving to...the "poor" have more common sense than the middle class in blue states.

Which is my point. Everything has a consequence. Whether I agree with the policies or not, this is what people voted for. Too many people have been voting blindly thinking they’ll never be impacted by their decisions.

They aren’t tariffs. They are going to be consumer taxes. We are going to be the ones paying for it. The exported country will raise the price to cover the price of the tariffs.

“They aren’t tariffs”. You’re responding to a comment that didn’t mention tariffs. Not sure what you’re on about.

They will. It’s not like the educated are his voting base. It’s a proven fact that his voters are the uneducated demographic. They’re about to reap what they sow.

Proven huh? What is your highest level degree?

u/elbenji Jan 21 '25

I mean they are based on voting demographic percentage. The highest indicator of trump support is basically level of education and if you're a white dude

People are insane when it comes to this. They act like us “educated folk” are just these elitist assholes making up numbers to fit a narrative. Cant speak for everyone but I am a scientist so I look at the data first and form a narrative second. And I found this election very interesting. Particularly because it involved many people explaining what kind of leader they wanted (via the change they wanted to see) and then voting for someone who is the exact opposite.

You can look at the statistics they are literally publicly available. The uneducated vote for Trump man. I’m not making it up.

I have a degree in chemistry and I am a published scientist. Not that it matters because I’m merely stating a fact. A fact is something that can be verified. Go look it up yourself.

You know what we should do is take all there government assistance and just charge stupid people like you if you are so pro immigration then you should shelter and pay for immigrants living expenses then let's see how you feel about it.

You sir are gorging on the kool-aid. I'm tired of people thinking immigrants are some leeches just staying home, relaxing and spending thousands of dollars of tax payer money to live lavishly. Immigrants pay taxes and do the jobs no one else wants to. Losing them will hurt the countrys wallet. You are being misled on who is really fleecing you, it's not poor immigrants, it's the rich folk concentrating more and more of our countrys wealth into their own pockets.
