Democrats arenā€™t the only ones who need soul-searching

The problem is much bigger than that. Itā€™s important for the American people to do some soul-searching about whatā€™s wrong with us. Itā€™s especially important to ask: What happened to our sense of values? Like me, you were probably instilled by your parents with a basic sense of whatā€™s right and wrong, a set of values that was far more important than what political party we might someday belong to.

But hereā€™s what should really trouble us all. Itā€™s not that Donald Trump trampled on the values weā€™ve lived by our entire lives. We donā€™t expect any better from him. Whatā€™s shocking is that over half the American people said they donā€™t care.

They donā€™t care if Trump is a lying, lawless, crude, obscene, serial adulterer and convicted felon who tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power. Theyā€™re willing to forget all about that becauseā€¦Why? They think heā€™ll lower the cost of a dozen eggs?

@nursefrombirth What I continue to struggle with is how people think he can lower prices on anything. He doesn't even understand tariffs, FFS. If lowered prices could somehow complement him, then maybe he would find a way, but yea, no.

@tyghebright @nursefrombirth I think the next president is going to give everyone a real-life lesson in how those work, sadly.

@nursefrombirth Even before Trump. The sense that there is no safe place in America. Even driving you might be taken out in a road rage incident. And now all the phobias will be amped up to increase violence. In my childhood, you never even knew how someone's parents voted.

@Cartephilia @nursefrombirth

that šŸ‘†... that is the major reason why I'm leaving the US. The other is to be able to afford to live a better quality of life than I will be able to have when the tariffs & inflationary economic policies begin.

President Mieli, Trumps imitator, took office in 2022 pledging to bring down prices. Inflation has skyrocketed from 78% to 133.5%

I suggest that everyone who reads this begin
a personal austerity program for when inflation begins to rise mid 2025.

@nursefrombirth if my folks were alive they would be horrified by his antics

@nursefrombirth Dems don't need "soul-searching", they just need to make the stupid people understand they're trying to make their lives better, and get them to not listen to angry orange man who imited giving a blowjob to a mic stand.
