You may be celebrating owning the libs, but you too will be fucked, it is not just the libs that are fucked but even Trump's most avid supporters.

It is the logical consequence of his and Project 2025's agenda.

A sound opinion. If you examine the logical consequences of each paragraph in Project 2025, and Trumps agenda and I mean the effects that the agenda have on our economy, our lifestyle and yes inflation, even MAGAts will suffer, how about the $10 tomato, the $15 avocado, the $40 happy meal, the $75 chicken.

Leaking roofs, homes not being built, cars not being built, repairs not being done for lack of labor and parts.

Oh it is coming. You owned the libs, showed the queers, trans, niggahs and spics, yes you did, Good on y ou. now you will have to eat and digest your victory.

And don't complain to dear leader either.

Hitler conscipted men to man his labor battalions to built the autobahn and other public works, they were treated brutally like slaves,

If they complained and wrote "Dear Fuhrer" letters, "Dear Fuhrer, if only you knew", they were visited shortly by the gestapo and never heard from again.

Discontent is treason. Complaint is verbotten.

Only assent and submission is accepted.

As you said though, we will see, because there is no other option, in the meanwhile enjoy your ride, while you can.

This guy, a Canadian, probably has no clue...... https://www.crfb.org/papers/trump-and-biden-national-debt

In the recent history of the US, Biden has done more for the manufacturing sector than anybody. CHIPS, Infrastructure, etc.

The National debt is a non issue, the Republicans know that because they raise it every administration to buy votes and placate the donors, then they use it to browbeat the Democrats. It is part of their Two Santa Claus theory

(Cribbed from a Reddit post)

In practice, the Two-Santa Claus Theory is:

When Republicans control the White House they must spend money like a drunken Santa and cut taxes to run up the U.S. debt as far and as fast as possible. This produces three results:

a. By not arguing to cut spending but offering the option of cutting taxes, Republicans transform from Scrooge worried about spending to a Santa Claus offering tax cuts vs Democrat's Santa Claus offering spending programs.

b. It stimulates the economy, improving public opinion about the Republican's handling of the economy.

c. It raises the debt.

2. When a Democrat is in the White House, Republicans must scream about the national debt as loudly and frantically as possible, including shutting down the government and damaging U.S. credibility, and try to put the blame on Democrats spending.

3. Claim to voters that Democrats are out of control and only Republicans can fix it by lowering taxes further.

Jude Wanniski thought Democrats would never win again because they'd be forced into the role of Santa Claus killers if they acted responsibly by raising taxes or cutting spending on their own social programs.

The national debt is purposefully misreprented. It is not like our debt, We owe money to a lender, The National debt is that we owe moneyto ourselves

In the 15th through 19th Century if a country owed money to an international lender, he ran the risk of a war because said lender had a neighboring regent obligated to him.

If I default on or a mortgage, here comes the reeve of the shire, the sheriff to dispossess me, The millenia old job of the sheriff is to act as the tax agent for the sovereign.

Who is going to dispossess America? No one.

The national debt is not responsible for inflation either, the interest on all debts, be they government securities, a mortgage, a corporate debt, a car loan, or your credit card is the primary cause of inflation.

But Dems created 10X more jobs than Republicans. Lowerst unemployment. Highest GDP. Markets setting records daily.

Besides selling the goose that laid the golden eggs by shipping jobs overseas, productivity was created by technology, robots, etc, which reduced the number of manufacturing jobs.

Trump created the debt by giving tax breaks to corporations and the rich. Nono of their gains trickle down to 90% of the electorate.
