      And will tell poor people that “hard work let former line workers like Elon Musk become CEOs”. (Context: when capitalism came to Hungary, western corporations actively disencouraged self-employment and small businesses, claiming that regular workers at them can be promoted for hard work, and the hardest worker can even become the CEO, also our tax system is set up to screw over self employers and small businesses more, while Chinese battery factories get no taxes.)

        “hard work let former line workers like Elon Musk become CEOs”.

        Hard work, waking up early, no avocado toast or macha lattes, a small loan of $200 million from daddy the emerald mine owner, a “can do” attitude, and anyone can be a world-renowned CEO!

    She’s just a liar. Mr President Trump The GREATESTEST has said that economy is A+++++ so she’s lying. She must be a democRAT, I mean, have you seen her color? She’s clearly not a republican, she’s not white enough.

    Okay but fuck the Lincoln project.

    Republicans who supported the modern conservative movement for decades pretending they are part of the resistance, who’ll supported practically all the same shit, just under a more neoliberal/neoconservative hat.

      Thank you! Far too many people fail to realize these people when MAGA is gone will still be reprehensible Republicans. They supported and worked for W Bush after all. They’re not our friends and I’d just be as happy to see both put into a pit with one spork. Then whoever survives gets eaten by lions.

      The modern Republican movement is an outgrowth of what the Reagan Republicans created.

    I just want people to be honest and admit they made a mistake, take accountability, and work on fixing themselves.

    I refuse to coddle these people who will not learn. You can’t keep hitting yourself in the head with a hammer and blame others.

      He kinda already did - he was complaining that he can’t “get everything done like the president of China”, and instead having to wait for other people’s approval (like, you know, the Congress).

    Idiot voters are much more an output of our broken system than an input. Like we’re basically blaming this woman for having a terrible education, being surrounded by misinformation, not forced to but basically highly incentivized into buffoonery. Schadenfreude is an ugly hole, marvel momentarily at it’s breadth and depth if you wish but take care not to fall in. There are institutional systems with singular powerful people on top, the puppet masters of these idiots, who are far better targets for scorn.

    Aaand I just realized I’m on Leopards Ate My Face. Fuck me lol…See ya at the bottom of the thread!

      It’s just exhausting to hear “You should have voted for the Democrats” when we did have Democrats 12 of the last 20 years and they weren’t some magical panacea for any of this shit either.

      “Oh if only you’d just voted differently, everything would be better” is pure liberal cope. Dems from California to Vermont are experiencing all the same problems.

        Yeah but I guess everything was great when Democrats were in power or if it wasn’t it was Republicans fault.

        I subscribed to this community for fun stuff and maybe some interesting news to pop out from time to time but everything is just so depressing and the worse parts I think are usually the comments.

        I’m not from the USA so I really have no idea what people over there are really like but honestly seem awfulll based on this. There’s just so much hating it’s terrifying

    She should be just like my mother’s boyfriend, whose personal business got annihilated by Fidesz’es new tax policy on small businesses. He’s now working overtime for a company for much less, and is also actively campaigning for Fidesz, because he hates seeing black people on Netflix so much.

    To be fair, even if the Democrats get power back, it’s never going to get better. The system is designed only to get worse. We have to tear down everything and start from scratch for anything to get better.

      the gop made sure the recent legislation is worst when the dems get back in power, rinse and repeat. republicans have to be continiously be in power while thier legislation is still in effect so they can finally get the blame they deserve,.

          My reading: new legislation that will kick the voter in the metaphorical balls will go into effect after the next election, when presumedly the Democrats will be in charge. Voters will be kicked in the balls and blame the party in charge for their pain. This is despite the Republicans being the ones who passed the ball-kicking legislation.

          Edit: and the only way the Republicans will be blamed is if they are still in power when the ball kicking occurs.

            Thank you. Yeah, legislation like that can be easily be stopped. Proof: Trump’s already done it, i.e. the inflation reduction act. Just undo it and call it what it is, an unjust act on the citizens, by an illegitimate administration.
