They say what they’re told. They have no idea about how govt works, how finances work, how schools work, how corporations work. They stopped thinking in 7th grade when it got hard
The most asinine answers are loading if you decide to ask them…. For example the ones I got! “Democrats are demonic because they believe in trans people” or “ I hate the way Democrats spin the news” 🤣 boy oh boy are the shit for brains in for swift surprise………
The language amazes me. I hear it all the time, “I don’t believe in” insert some factual information or people such as gays/trans/blacks are oppressed…as if it is a religion and not actual facts in existence. They mean that they “don’t approve of” or “refuse to accept”. Subtle but horrid difference.
Libs pretending the democrats led flawlessly during the past administration shows they’ve learned absolutely nothing. Expect another genocidal husk of a nominee in 2028.
Im not MAGA. Maybe if you didn’t have a room temp IQ you could grasp the failures of the Democratic Party in preventing fascism. Your beloved politicians voted for the Laken Riley Act and Trump cabinet picks. Begging you to grow up and stop supporting a party that doesn’t care about you.
This is the first time since 2002 that our soldiers aren't involved in a major war declared by a US president. Trump had 4 years to end the Afghanistan War. He didn't. President Biden handed a country in strong shape (apart from Trump's attacks on our democracy) to Trump.
It is an undisputed fact that our economy has recovered better from the pandemic than any other advanced nation on Earth. He passed nine good and consequential pieces of legislation and grew NATO.
800,000 manufacturing jobs were created under President Biden. The unemployment rate fell from 6.3% to 4.2%. Wages have been growing faster than inflation since 2023. 16 million jobs were created under President Biden. Even the WSJ admitted, "our economy is the envy of the world."
The only tool to try to lower inflation was to get COVID under control. He did that. The rate of inflation has been lower here in the US than in most other G7 nations for most of the period from 2021 to now. The GDP grew by 2.3% last quarter (Trump's re-election hurt) and by 2.8% in the 3rd quarter.
That's the disaster President Biden had to fix. He had to get a once in a century pandemic under control after the previous administration had botched managing it. COVID caused inflation by damaging supply chains which reduced supply while demand remained unchanged. That led to inflation.
Of all the national debt accumulated from 1789 to January of 2021, 25% of it or $8 Trillion was accrued under Donald Trump. He took a very good economy and ruined it by mismanaging COVID. When Donald Trump left office, we were losing 3,000 Americans a day to COVID.
So he doesn't get a free pass on the 2020 economy. The unemployment rate was 4.7% when he took office, but 6.3% when he left office. He lost 10 million jobs in 2020 and 3 million jobs over his entire term. Under Trump the deficit went from $600B to $2.8 Trillion.
If we had the same % of COVID deaths as Canada, we would have lost 600,000 fewer people to COVID. We make up 4% of the world's population, but we make up 25% of the world's COVID deaths. That's on Donald Trump. He didn't even try to limit the harm done by COVID.
That's a reflection of the difference in messages from the leaders of the two different major political parties. If we had the same % of COVID deaths as other G7 nations, then we would have lost 400,000 fewer people to COVID.
If you were vaccinated and then you caught COVID then you are 53 times less likely to die from COVID than if you caught COVID but you had not been vaccinated. By December of 2021 when the vaccines had been available for almost a year, only 60% of Republicans were vaccinated but 91% of Democrats were
We understand very well how respiratory illnesses like COVID spread. The person who has COVID breathes out the virus particles and another person who didn't have COVID breathes in the virus particles. Wearing a good mask properly prevents both of these events, albeit imperfectly.
President Biden and VP Harris leveled with the American people and told them the truth about COVID, that it was a serious threat to their lives and they did promote wearing a mask and getting vaccinated. COVID is a respiratory illness.
Trump admitted on Bob Woodward's tape that he loved to "play it down", downplay it. When Trump spoke about wearing a mask, it was almost always negative. He didn't promote getting vaccinated.
Trump said COVID was like the flu. The flu doesn't kill 1.2 million Americans in a year and a half. Trump said COVID was a Democratic Party hoax. Trump said that it was disappearing 38 times from February of 2020 to October of 2020.
The data shows that Trump didn't create a good economy; rather, he INHERITED it. You don't get credit for what you INHERIT. By minimizing COVID and not promoting the safety measures recommended by the CDC including wearing a mask or getting vaccinated, he made COVID much worse than it had to be.
Under President Obama we experienced the longest continuous period of peacetime private sector job growth that this country has ever known 75 consecutive months of job growth. That's the great economy that President Obama handed over to Trump. Trump INHERITED that very good economy and ruined it.
By February of 2010, the unemployment rate reached 10.6%, its apex. From February of 2010 to January of 2017, 16.1 million jobs were created. The unemployment rate fell almost six full percentage points from 10.6% to 4.7%. The deficit was cut from $1 Trillion to $600 Billion.
Bush's economic policy of accelerating financial deregulation continued to drive the unemployment rate up during President Obama's first year in office. Under the leadership of President Obama, The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 was passed.
In the last 3 months of 2008, the GDP shrank by 9.4%, we lost 2.25 M jobs, and the unemployment rate rose to 7.8% and was still climbing. Simply because a new president is sworn in doesn't magically improve the economy. The economy is rather large, so it's as nimble as the Titanic.
Nobody says the Biden administration was perfect, but it was damn good. Our nominee was outstanding. Trump turned an economy that had created jobs for 75 consecutive months into an economy that lost 10 M jobs in 2020. He botched the COVID response and killed 600,000 +Americans in doing so.
What has made America so mentally exhausted is the neo-Nazi, Christofascists among us who heed lies & propaganda over truth, and KOT who is their buffoonish spokesperson
That is why the exhaustion
Never during a presidency has an ex-Pres been so back-bitting and a media so complicit.
Vote Blue 2026
The only problem I had with the last four years was the demorats fking Trans People over every chance they got. They paid a lot of lip service to us but did nothing to slow the naught zzzz republicans Trans Genocide. They just sat back on their asses and cheered them on.
I was “yelled at” on this platform for saying I thought Biden did a good job and had plans for more improvements in a second term. I stand by my original comment.
While everyone complained about inflation and high prices (both of which were high) somehow Americans still found the $$ to take vacations via air & car in record numbers in the last two years.
Perception is greater than reality and they blamed Biden for inflation, and Harris by association. They have selective memory on gas prices, when they were the lowest during the pandemic.
And what were they missing in the last 4 years that they will not B getting now but in 4 years they will say it was better. WTF is wrong with these deplorables. Better only 4 the rich scum billionaires who now will enjoy no taxes, no obstructions, no rules. Thank U Magas, thank that God U speak of.
Their nightmare was seeing more underrepresented groups finally gain opportunities, and people putting pronouns in their bios. That’s what pissed them off. “Grocery prices”(still high and getting higher) was just a convenient excuse.
It is really a Jim Jones psychopathy. Look at what happened to them in the end. Horrid living in middle of a jungle, with drug addled, sex pervert as their leader, that forced them to drink poison and poison their kids with guns aiming at them.
Prices have soared since Jan.20th. Eggs are way out of many families' budgets now! It will. Only get worse. Maga doesn't get to use the bird flu excuse cause, Biden wasn't allowed to use Covid as a reason. Fair is Fair!
Well it was nightmarish for Palestinians who have had a genocide aimed at them thanks to Bidens Whitehouse funding it. That cannot be denied. And yes I understand that Trump would not have been better dealing with this.
It was unbearable to them because EVERYONE was being helped. Rich people weren't getting their tax breaks. That's anathema to them because in MAGA world, people of color, women, LGBT folks, the poor and the middle class don't deserve ANYTHING. They're losers. Only rich people count.
The last 4 years were unfortunately plagued with indifference and inaction when faced with injustice. The repealing of roe v wade, aiding and abetting in genocide, criminalization of homelessness, criminalization of protest & free speech, etc. The corporate owned duopoly is functioning as intended.
Blaming Democrats for Republican actions got old during the Obama era when people got upset with him for not closing Gitmo when the GOP blocked his attempts to do it.
Didn't mention anything about the drone strike champion of the world, that's on you
Also none of what you said addresses any of what I said lol, you're just shielding a political party from criticism for some reason which is weird. Those people are not your friends, they're beholden to capital.
Honestly? Because I'm tired of arguing with you kids. You're no different than MAGAs; you gish gallop, then move the goalposts, then proclaim none of it matters because you're still somehow morally superior.
I've been fighting the progressive fight for 30 years and you lot just shit on all of it.
They have to distract MAGA so they can raid the wealth of government. MAGA will defend them. The only way to turn MAGA is if they shut off Social Security and Food Stamps. Much of MAGA can’t live without those benefits. I wonder if Musk is dumb enough to do that. He has no empathy so he might.
The people who believe anything they are told believed everything they were told without any evidence whatsoever. Those of us who knew what kind of man Trump is, knew this was coming, and we will never forgive them for what is about to happen.
I don’t get it either. Biden did amazing. The economy was strong. He cared. We could sleep at night knowing he had our backs. WHAT was there to not like about that?
I drive by giant trucks all lifted and tricked out everyday with all these "No step on Snek" stickers. Like honey, who the fuck has oppressed you at any time in your life? You're driving a $50K+ vehicle to a management job that pays you six figures, and 3 wks PTO. 😑
Having lived most of my life (in rural Illinois) with plenty of these troglodytes, I can tell you "don't tread on me" is aimed at the destruction of "guv'munt." Same ones who whined about seatbelts, helmets, DUI laws . . . now armed, organized, and ascending.
I'm sure it was a nightmare for the people who wanted to let their worst selves out to play, but couldn't. The racism wasn't quite as overt as it is now. They feel empowered to be ugly again.
I assume you're asking USA people? Because there are parts of the world where, yeah, it was a nightmare these last four years. I've been there.
But if that's not what you're talking about I get it.
The last four years were the best for my retirement funds, THAT is for damn sure. Let’s see how much of a hit they take under the mango menace. It’ll probably be similar to his first time in office.
Roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects being completed.
Crime rates falling, less instances of hate crimes.
Now the opposite is happening, infrastructure projects halted, hate crimes starting to increase in frequency. Hatred/racism being openly displayed in increasing frequency...
The fact that they weren’t able to hit people on streets freely. That is their problem. They were the bad guys after a coup, killing trans, killing gays, killing immigrants, and drinking bleach against a virus. Their hell was them being bashed by the truth
It's only unbearable because inbred uneducated idiots from the South don't have sufficient brain power to take advantage of that shift in the economy. They want to take the country down with them. You know...owning the libs while they self immolate.
I agree with you. I think a lot of these people are one issue voters. I'm sick of one issue voters, it makes zero sense. Even for those of us who look at the overall issues we don't always get everything we want.
My girlfriend thought that Biden raised her taxes until I told her that the tax law was from nutso and it expires 2025. She just assumed it was who ever was the president at that time caused it. She is a Dr. of psychology. 🫤🫤
Yet she's a dipshit. I know several.
They listen to right-wing crap yet never bother to actually pay attention to what their legislation their elected leaders write or vote for.
I know. It's pure insanity. It's like people got mad at the administration because it rained. It rained, ergo we must put Hitler in office. In graduate school I had to prove hundreds of theorems. So, I constantly am running this through in my mind and it just doesn't compute. It's crazy.
the so called "nightmare" was the fact that they couldn't act like the bigots they rally are without consequences!
even though, there where already no real consequences for their actions...
The degree of racism people experience is directly attributed to the color of their skin. The darker you are the more discrimination you face. Trump as amplified this fact.
What you had was fox fake news reporting to people of low intelligence who could be easily manipulated and brought into a frenzied crowd of crazy voters using the system for their own twisted agenda. Complaining about one old man when they voted for an older idiot. Confront the non voters this time.
Blaming Biden for continuing their committment to the people of Isreal instead of their megalomanic leader who used the Oct 7 horror to wipe out Gaza is why we are here. Get a clue into our relations with Isreal and stop blaming US for the actions of one man, who is NOT supported by his own people.
I know! They won’t spell it out…all they do is talk sh** and say it was a disaster, it was a failure, the worst ever, so messed up, worst economy…really?? Step up to plate…don’t just say Biden Admin! Itemize the specifics..oh that’s right….they can’t!
The last 12 days has been a nightmare as trump, musk & maga goons haphazardly try to tear down our 248 year old Constitutional republic, representative democracy with mass firings & insane tariffs with no thought of ‘Then what’?! Consequences! Every action has an equal & opposite reaction!(Newton)
I voted for Kamala. I would do it again. She is a smart woman who cares.
But there have been missteps by the two party system that got us here— that is what has me not happy with dems. I can’t even begin to discuss repubs. Crazy can’t be fixed. I am not religious— but those people need Jesus.
I struggle with the lack of universal healthcare in a country that claims to be the best.
I am tired of so much money going to our military— signed off by dems, too— when we have so many other issues. Homeless people, environmental issues, money overwhelmingly taking over our politics.
The gatekeepers, like Pelosi and Shumer, keeping out or down people who want to speak out like Katie Porter (phenomenal and not supported enough), Raskin, AOC, Jayapal, Khanna, Tlaib, etc.
Inflation didn’t sneak up on us. It was clear it was coming.Interest rates are killing people who were told
By realtors- buy now, rates will go down and you can refinance at a lower rate— which hasn’t happened. Foreclosures are on the rise throughout the country. It will get worse, and in another year, we will blame Trump… but the problems that put Trump in office are deeper.
I heard the same bullshit about Obama. “We had to endure 8 years of Obama, now you know how it feels”…What the fuck are they even talking about? They truly exist in an alternate reality.
They really do. These people just want to destroy everything. They think if they dismantle and break everything they can build it up again the way they want it. They voted for tyranny and are too dumb to recognize it.
My dad literally told me today that Biden and Harris were, by far, the WORST administration in our country's history. I called bullshit immediately and said data would not support that claim. They weren't the best, but FAR from the worst. I hate it here.
The K shaped recovery? Long COVID hitting people already down harder? Increased homelessness? Increased cost of living? Supply chain issues? The crash of Silicon Valley? Even I have the bravery to admit that for most normal people, 2019 was better than 2023.
The last four years were amazing; now we’re in a horror movie. But it’s one of those really bad ones! Hopefully something’s gonna happen in a positive mode here soon to get rid of that orange scumbag!
My parents told me that they expected to take up arms and fight during the Biden years, but support 85% of the things Felon47 has done since being in office. 🫠
The delusion is unbelievable. I’ve got a mother who knows nothing about economics & how the government works, is religious & supports Trump…coincidence? think not. I hypothesize a lot of his supporters are those drawn to abusive relationships, def true of my mother
Democrats lost the election because half the Country hates gays and immigrants. While Democrats were protecting transgenders in sports and bathrooms. Republicans were putting razor wire at the border. Did anyone believe Trump would fix the economy? He gave us 8 trillion in debt his first four years.
But the media, corporate-owned-and-controlled, told us what they wanted us to hear.
I mean, seriously: Joe Biden's brain works better now than Donald Trump's ever has. Take it from someone who's watched the fat bum for 40 years: He is not in mental decline, he has always been a blithering idiot.
I have been trying to figure that one myself. All I can come up with is that magas want to blame the government for the problems that they create for themselves. Not only that, Trump is a creative liar. He has convinced them that their problems were created by the previous administration.
EXACTLY. People thing Biden was handed this stellar economy and he wrecked it. How do Americans have such terrible memories. Biden saved us from an economic disaster.
A call to Arms for all Ghosts, Phantoms, Ninjas,Shadows etc. Your future and the future of this country is at stake. You know your hack skills use them. We must bring down Trump and his Nazi puppet Master Musk. This is a cyber war, not on the field but at your fingertips.
Reminiscent of Joni Mitchell’s song, “Paved Paradise,” with her profound lyric, “Don’t it always go -that you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone, they paved paradise, put up a parking lot.”
~ Trump has been bashing Biden for how many years???
~ Trump was elected because too many people believed him
~ Fighting against each other is how THEY win!!!
Forgot to add the biggest problem “ she was black period!” Fuck this America now! We had hope, peace and continued prosperity now we got this fucking clown show for what???? Fuck all you racist motherfuckers I am sick of it! ENOUGH!!!
Right?? But if all they listened to was bretbart and faux 🦊 news they would think the economy sux.., and of course her emails…. And the price of eggs… 🤦🏻♀️ oh and the fact that the orange asshole does nothing but lie and gas-light…. Oh and the mainstream media sane washing the moron ugh ugh ugh 😩
My family WAS at the cusp of truly thriving. We made a lot of big steps, especially this past year.
Feels like it's starting to crumble and it's barely been 10 days
Come on! There's no comparison at all. You bring up one issue that can be seen as Biden's failure while ignoring all the great things he did: IRA, Infrastructure bill, CHIPS Act---these are just the start. This kind of cynicism gives Trump and MAGA more power. It's also simply false.
This is the beginning of the revenge administration. The US was warned and there were examples they could have looked at, (which are still there), but they voted for revenge anyway.
I have heard people say that literally all the Cheeto needed to do was sit back and take credit for a growing economy but of course he couldn’t so now we all have to pay for his stupidity.
This was the precursor that lead to this.
We didn’t hold this 🍊 asshole accountable so now fascism when he should’ve clearly went to jail & we had the powers to put him there. There was a lot of good things done during the last 4 years lot of people were suffering. 1 word Capitalism
They obviously weren’t living in the US. Must have been in Russia or North Korea. The last four years were, in my honest opinion, fairly stable. I like stable. It makes most people happy.
I'm with you. Pete Buttigieg at Transportation; Blinken at State; Jake Sullivan National Security; Biden and Harris - smart, compassionate, fulfilling their oath to protect the American people. The recent general election was the most tragic and dangerous move the American voter has ever made.
I’m not entirely certain the American voter actually made the mistake. Unlike with trump where he claimed things were rigged without ANY evidence, there is a gentle rumbling out there that THIS election was not secure and shows signs of interference. Nothing solid yet, but the signs are bad.
Agreed. I doubt there's much truth to what was reported to us, especially considering how the media isn't responding appropriately to what Trump/Musk is doing right now.
If you want to make sense of this, listen to the podcast series in my bio. Half of America thinks the last four years were bad because half of America tunes in daily to Liar McLiarfaces on Fox News et al and to *no one else*, and has their worldview cultivated *for* them by right-wing ideologues.
I was in San Francisco a few years ago with a repug colleague, and he was surprised that it was nothing like what Fox news was portraying it as. For people who hate MSM, they sure subscribe to it.
Looking back over the Biden administration I wish they had spent more time bragging. They should have been out there on TV more often telling people what they got done! So many accomplishments that most people are not aware of! I hope they elect a great leader for the DNC.

There is no logic within their narrative
Show up at your state capitol, city hall, or town hall and make your voices heard.
Let’s show the world that the American people will stand up for their democracy.
We have to make it shameful again.
Let the American Spring begin.

This is what allowed the rise of Hitler in the 30s. Not racism at first, but desperate people willing to scapegoat anyone to end their suffering.
If we keep casting blame on one party, we will not solve the problem.
Money in politics is the root of our problems.
One person, one vote. No more PACs to hide money and remove the voices of the people.
We need to get back to

We can acknowledge how indescribably awful and deplorable the current admin is without wholeheartedly white-knighting the previous one.
They’re both evil and reckless, just in different ways.
Neither are good is my point. Pick an actual good person to idiolize n put on a pedestal.

We drove into California and my mother-in-law immediately said “I’m scared” as we crossed the border.
I was terribly unAmerican for not recognizing what an immediate and wide ranging threat this was.
They didn’t care that 11,400 bridges were repaired or replaced. 196,000 miles of new roads, drug prices lowered, addressing junk fees.
None of that mattered bc “Biden was friends with a KKK Grand Wizard.” Robert Byrd was not a GW. He spent his life dedicated to civil rights. JFC
