12 hours ago, Matt! said:@Stromboli1 Do Republican voters have a secret club card that gets them gas at $1.99? Because according to AAA/GasBuddy, no station is even close to that price (lowest pumps in TX were around $2.30)
Also..Donald has been repeating that same line for months now, but inflation is actually going up again?

Eww called a Republican. 
I'd love $.89/gallon gas like when I grew up.
Inflation has been a mixed bag so far as some goods and services have gone down in price while others have stayed the same or have gone up.
Then there's the predatory price gouging going on by the big box stores.
The housing market and energy costs sans gasoline has not seen any relief yet. I know those things take longer to remedy.
I'd give a C+ grade for Inflation so far, some good and some bad, but still needs improvement.

Ugh, stupid me. MAGA!
Yeah, that’s true. Inflation’s always around in some form, what matters most is whether people (read: government) can keep up with the changes (wages, housing, policies, etc). My issue is that why lie about it? If you Google USA inflation, you'll find out the truth.
Also, stop complaining about the gas prices, it could be a lot worse.

MAGA is basically a spin-off of the Republican party now and Trump is fulfilling the Republican party/Project 2025 orders.
Trump is probably irreplaceable (he spent his whole life preparing for this role since his mentorship with Roy Cohen and Fred Trump).
Adolf Hitler in his lifetime knew that there was no true replacement for himself after his death, the same void occurred after the death of Stalin.
The Republican party has been changed by MAGA and will survive long after MAGA and Trump are dead. It is an institution.
What MAGA ultimately is, is a platform for conservative elites to further enrich themselves at the expense of the public using extremely aggressive fraud. It is a perversion of Nixon's southern strategy decades later.
The 'civil war' is really between two groups of elites, the arrogant, venial establishment vs the conservative sociopaths
The people are just useful idiots/cannon fodder.
Uh oh.

Agreed with every word you just said.

Dems need to get their **** together if they wanna take the House back next year. (Yes, I know it's a WSJ poll)
"It's not a cult"
One year from now, there’s only one state-approved network: FoxMax, where Propaganda Barbie is on 24/7 delivering the Dear Leader’s sacred wisdom for us peasants.

Certainly if they want to survive politically they need massive reform and have to do better than 'we are not trump'.
The main reason they fail is that they are obsessed with/and use waste of space identity politics 24-7 (feminism, race, and sexual orientation ) as a cover/distraction for the 'sinking ship' that is the US. Most Americans who aren't democrats know it and are sick of it and that's why Trump and the alt right won.
This all started with the Obama administration who stepped into these waters and reached fever pitch thereafter. At least Obama there was attention put to helping the middle class and obamacare which are things of more practical nature.
I remember in those years real liberals/socialists were very upset that Obama did not turn out to be the messiah the party promised he was and was in fact an establishment creature, that continued massive war crimes/mass murder & drone assassination in the middle east, worked for and funded by wall street, obamacare turned out to be massively corrupt and designed to benefit health care corporations, and overall didn't do enough socialism.
But how he was cultivated by the party, and revealed/ came to power all of a sudden from being an unknown senator to the messiah (by provided the psychological antidote of 8 years of Bush II visually and vocally) very quickly was impressive.
😭

I guess you never heard him talk before where he talks things up, the marketing side of him.

Time will tell. Trump is a once in generation guy.
Trump is an imperfect avatar as a big fuck you to the political elite.
MAGA is a coalition of a lot people across the political spectrum, from a little past middle to right.
No matter who has power coming up in the next few years, the people aren't going to put up with not being able to buy houses to start families among other things. People are becoming more violent especially on the left. People aren't going to put up with elites much longer.
It sucks what happened during COVID, but I think it was a social experiment as well to see what people in power could get away with. A lot of people said never again and also had the biggest riots in 60 years.
Woketards are pissed about the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle advertisement. Nazi was thrown around.
It's common sense and a return to normalcy that a company hired an attractive girl to market their product. It's not a novel idea. The novel idea was hiring ugly, fat, trannies, guys in bras, etc to market clothing products.
American Eagle's stock rose nearly 30% after the news and ad, which maintained a 10% increase.

Yeah, I’ve heard him. And I’ve also heard people lie before.
