    I've said it many times, his domestic policies don't necessarily affect me. I'm really curious if he is going to act on tarrifs, that's a big one for me, because I personally don't see how the cost would not be passed down to the consumer, but hell, I'll get to find out shortly soon. Education wise, I live in Texas, Abbott has been pushing hard for vouchers. Once again, I don't really see how that helps the lower class, but hell, if republicans want to give me some money to send my kid to wherever the hell I feel like, I'll take it then.

    Social issues, those are important to me, which is why I still side with democrats. Am I "woke"? Not really, I'm not that passionate about it either. However (I know I sound like a broken record at this point), SCOTUS shift will hurt for decades to come possibly. I worry about my daughter and the world she will grow up in, but I'll be here to educate her and stuff and just be realistic about whatever our current situation is.

    There are several youtube videos of him saying the exact same things politically. I've watched several of them over the years. Easy to find.

    Interesting to see how he is going to do that . Remember the Trump tax provisions expire in 2025. That should be about 4T expense or raise taxes ,
    The only proposal I heard is that tariffs to offset which we all know is not going to happen

    It's both sides for sure.
    Equally qualified to not be qualified.
    Like I said most of the posters here are FAR more educated on issues than Tay Tay or the Hulkster.

    I don't think most people realize what he is capable off. And many who voted for him will come to regret. But the MAGA crew will love it. They will support him to the end and no matter what he does. The want a king Trump.

    I think it's the same story as most elections.

    It's up to Democrats to inspire turnout. The status quo mid turnout will be Republicans every single time.

    Kamala did not juice turnout (for debatable reasons), so here we are.

    I don't really think candidates fix this and all these MMQB stuff is just random idiots blabbing but I mean, who knows maybe run Dave Bautista or Travis Kelce and build a weirdo macho brand.

    This take baffles me.

    If you put a revolver with 100 chambers and 1 bullet to your head and I begged you not to pull the trigger but you did and didn't die, should I be ashamed or embarrassed?

    If this isn't our last "real" election and not a scam election like you saw under Saddam Hussein or Putin - Democrats will be very happy and very happy to show their face.

    IMO most posters here are far more indoctrinated and miseducated, which is even worse.

    If it was that w**** Kamala, he'd be lickin' his chops for more of that moolah.

    Now that he's back with a vengeance, the mood has changed and the stealing $ from the US will stop.

    I find it funny that a lot of the claims people make about the "other party," not only here but every where else, sound very hypocritical.

    plus, it's not necessary to go down the road of being rude, disrespectful, and aggressive to one another. one side won, one side lost... but we are still America and we dont need to be so divided. love thy neighbor, no matter their political choice

    I was an Executive Chef before I got into the administrative part of the business.
    I can draw an equivalent to what you are saying.
    I have no animosity against Vegans or vegetarians or trans identifiers.
    But....... When you have to stop carving prime rib for 230 people at a wedding reception, to get that vegan plate all set well it makes you uncomfortable.

    We over correct to those with the loudest voices. And it seems like the people always in our face about it are the "Woke" folks.
    I accept everyone's right to identify as they please, but don't stick dudes in women's sports. Don't tell me I have to fall in line with hiring someone based on their sexual orientation, race, or whatever protected class they belong to. I want the best person for the job. If it's a lesbian who identifies as a Cowboys fan and has 27 cats, I don't give a you know what. Show up for WORK. Do the best that you can and go to your cat lovers' group after work.
    A win win.

    I wrote all of that because most Americans HATE being told what to do.
    Ask the black voters that turned their middle finger up to Obama's cry for the black man to vote for Harris.

    This in no way is an endorsement of Trump, buy my thoughts on how average Americans think.
    Could be wrong. Just my 2 cents.

    I suspect when Tay Tay and Kelce break up, he will be wearing a red hat with those 4 words on it.
