How do you explain away that inflation was up in every country on Earth? Is Biden to blame that Turkey had high inflation?
Yes, excessive monetary stimulus across the world, and extreme government spending. The US typically leads the world's trajectory in terms of monetary policy. Biden just spent way too much money and for way too long. Now Democrats want to continue the error by extending the temporary COVID-era enhanced health insurance benefits. They just never learn their lesson. Democrats gave us the monster inflation that we are still grappling with -- and the hardest hit is the working class. GOOD DAY
The video was only trying to look into the white woman perspective because the creator was a white woman. I think politics really boiled down to a few items in the last election cycle. 1) Immigration 2) Abortion and 3) Economy. Simply put, we had an immigration problem (and still do) and it's unsustainable at the rates we were at under Biden and Kamala. Trajectory is changing with people's stance on abortion, and far left policies ring louder than moderate policies (if some democrats would focus on no late term, things would change dramatically). And, things weren't great for the economy under the last office. I think the economy was probably more OK than people felt, but I just think people are still adjusting to the "new normal" after the wild inflation. People also saw their 401k's fall from the end of 2021 through the beginning of 2023, and couldn't shake it. Those things + Biden basically doing a weekend at Bernies impersonation made it to where some people said "I'm just going to vote Trump." Even in the non-white women categories, Trump lessoned the gap. Black women were 95/5 for democrats in 2020, and 89/10 in 2024 (margin difference of 11 (90 vs 79). That's a big swing. Black men went from 87/12 to 75/21 (margin change of 21) for 2020 and 2024, respectively. The gap narrowed for Hispanic women, going from 65/33 to 52/46 (basically equal). White women really didn't even change 2020 vs 2024. in 2020 they were 43/55 in favor of Trump, and in 2024 the were 43/55. Nothing changed for them. Trump literally won because of the minority vote. So why people are discussing white men and white women, focus should really be on "Why did so many minorities change their mind?" My guess is the media's focus on more far left policies, as opposed to the middle policies. Because being labeled a "moderate democrat" is almost as bad as being labeled a republican to some on the far left. And with Bernie and AOC out there starting the election cycle early, it's really like the party is leaning into it more.
Every country on earth had a spike in inflation. That is lazy analysis to blame a global spike on Biden. If everything is going so well right now, under Trump, why not extend health insurance benefits? Everything is good now, right? Back on topic, white women tend to hang out with white men, who overwhelming voted for Trump. I don't think the analysis needs to be any more complicated than that. White women reap the benefits of from all angles. Black women, conversely, don't get any benefits of marrying black men (at a macro economic level) nor do black women feel "more" safe during Trumps dismembering of DEI programs, ICE raids, undermining civil rights voting acts, not to mention all the other programs that specifically target women's rights. So yes, white women "feel" safer now ...and they should. Black women in America definitely do not feel safer in America today. You can point to whatever statistics you want. This isn't about stats. This is about the narrative that is heard from the white house. None of the talking points are designed to make black women feel safe. "Tough on crime"? That basically means go the crime ridden areas (e.g. where poor people live. aka. where minorities live) and clean up the streets. Hooded government agents descending on poor neighborhoods doesn't make minorities feel safe.
Because it would essentially make the enhanced, COVID-era benefits permanent... in good times and in bad... ... and we are borrowing the money to pay for it... .. and it will add $1.5T to the deficit... which will reignite inflation... ... and there are private options for health insurance... the government is not the solution to every problem. GOOD DAY
You've made sooooo many assumptions and they compound on each other. But to jump to the end, you made an absolute statement ...which is very easy counter. Government is definitely the solution to some problems. For example, nobody is arguing to privatize roads, police, fire, etc. The whole point of insurance is a socialist concept. If everyone participates, the drives the cost down. If not everyone participates, then your costs go up to cover all the ER visits that should have been handled via preventative care. Simple as that. So that sounds exactly like a problem that government should handle. All citizens benefits from roads, police, etc. At the end of the day, if we gonna live in a first world country, it takes X$ to run it. If you want to save money, how about we stop sending Argentina a $20bn bailout? How does that help Americans? You could buy an awful lot of insurance for $20bn.
How much does the 20bn bail out we just sent to Argentina add to the deficit? ...and what do you and I get back in return for that 20bn?
