auburnatl1 6,189 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 The point I was trying to make is that the trump/maga culture always fixates on the other guy. The whole schtick is based on everything’s wrong and youre being screwed, we did nothing to cause it, and (here’s the important part) who to blame for it. No accountability. I’ve seen blame oriented cultures in other countries before. Generally 3rd world. Sounds good and gives the masses some feel good raw meat. But never actually solves anything. But at least they know who to blame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing things he is accusing Trump of doing if he is re-elected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would say at least 75% of the topics on this board come from anti maga fixated on their opposition. Look at page 1 on Smack Talk today. 16 of 24 topics.

It’s amazing how many things they give one to be disgusted with, ain’t it? Trump’s strategy has always been to flood the zone with BS & outrage to normalize it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not post covid consumer demand spikes, other countries manufacturing still in Covid lockdowns, or Ukraine implications. Nope, it’s all Biden fault. So what would trump/maga do about it? Trump has shown a propensity to understand only one basic economic leverage concept - tariffs. That, walls, blame, and I guess duct tape solves anything. Pretty simple world. Ok, everyone watch a 10 min video on intro to global economics. What you think the first pulverizing thing tariffs do to inflation? If I missed a magic idea trump has to fix it, please share it with me. Besides fault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTiger 14,313 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Newsflash— Trump is running for President. Trump dominates the Republican Party. Trump dictates republican agendas. He’s the single most influential party leader ever in America. He demands and receives attention. Acting like it’s just folks who don’t like him unnecessarily focusing on him is either disingenuous or clueless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s classic local manufacturing/wage protectionism (good part). With inflation consequences (bad part). Ironically, it’s historically been a tool used by liberal administrations.

Inflation is here and it started shortly after Biden took office (and I’m not blaming it on him with this statement). How long did it take this administration to say it wasn’t transitory? We went through 2 quarters of declining GDP, this administration changed the definition of recession to deny there was a problem. Calling it Putinflation and blaming others hasn’t worked. What has Joe done to lesson the burden of this inflation? And has it worked? Adding $billion of debt in the way of student loan releif I don’t think will do it. Paying $7.5 billion fo 8 EV charging stations probably won’t do it. What has he done that is a tough inflation beating tried and true inflation beater during this election year? He did state the American people can handle it. The ole Democrat moto of *its the economy stupid* is rearing its ugly head and Joe is on the wrong side of it.

Yes, he is going after his chief political rival for thing he has done himself (hoarding documents) as an example. I know you will say there is no evidence of this, but the world sees it differently. Just like Hunter and the gun case, if his name wasn’t Trump the NY case would have never happened and when the verdict came in, Biden was one of the first to call his political opponent a convicted felon. He even called a press conference at the White House to talk about it, but someone in his admin actually thought that was a bad idea. Almost sounds like a Banana Republic doesn’t it?

So the solution to inflation is cancelling student loan forgiveness and ev’s? (For different reasons I have a problem with student loan issue). Those will marginally affect the budget but what does that have to with inflation? Look at inflation globally - it’s in every single country. Ps Trump not having a clue aside, there’s only one way high inflation has ever been brought down - raise interest rates to the point consumer demand goes down (what the feds been doing) and pray it doesn’t cause a recession.

This is nothing more than Fox entertainment propaganda. Biden has no control of the NY case. His DOJ, as you call it, chose not to prosecute that case. Why is that so hard for you to admit? His DOJ appointed a Special Counsel to investigate the documents cases. ONE candidate chose not to cooperate. His name is Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
