Nah they voted for cheaper eggs. They don’t care enough about the rest sadly. Now, why they think the orange man can magically lower egg prices is beyond me.
All I heard was something about “concepts of a plan” in relation to cheaper eggs, etc. from the Trump campaign. However, there were very distinct and strong misogynistic, racist and xenophobic statements.
The media and politicians are refusing to speak the truth about Trump voters because it's an absolute heresy in politics to say bad things about voters no matter how vile, hateful, and bigoted they're. Most Trump voters voted for hate and bigotry and very few of term voted for economic reasons.
Hey you POS try looking at the face that once again he barely won the % of voters so we DID NOT vote for people like you. Granted you wish you were a sexual predator like him.
It is awful. But "noise, conflict, and chaos" -- not cheaper eggs -- are actually what a sizeable chunk of Trump's base were voting for. The nihilism is not a bug of MAGA, it's a feature.
I just bought 5 dozen eggs at Costco for $10.39. That's $2.08 a dozen.
Supermarkets have been ripping people off for over 2 years, using each bird flu outbreak to skyrocket egg prices. It's ridiculous. $4.99 a dozen in Phoenix now.
Trump did nothing his first term and this term will be the same.
Supermarkets are either losing money or barely breaking even on eggs. I know that because I build software for a major supermarket in Texas, and I’ve seen the reports. They didn’t “use” the bird flu outbreak, the outbreak caused it.
Costco definitely loses money on their BBQ chickens. They make it up on other purchases you tend to make while you’re there to buy their insanely cheap BBQ chicken
I don’t know about Costco, they’re a competitor for us. But if they’re charging roughly the same prices they’re either making pennies or actively losing a little and making it up elsewhere.
Exactly. Republicans have spent 40+ years telling people that the federal government is bad and can only cause problems, not solve them, and needs to be gotten rid of. And people believed them.
And that Trump's legal woes were not the consequences of his criminality but of Democrats' weaponization of government. They believe doing the same as retribution is completely justified.
Based on past experiences from this psycho liar, how could a/o believe him. He only ran to avoid jail. Would say a/t to get votes. He was so transparent & yet they fell for his lies once again. He's causing havoc in country b/c he's mad we abandoned him in '20. & then his charges! Bad picks, P25
The folks who voted for the price of eggs are going to be rewarded with the #TrumpTrainOfTerror. Once the train leaves the station on January 20th, the price of eggs will be the last thing they'll be worried about. #BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor #YouGotIt
We have told the fascist king is a threat to National Security... so why don't we do something about it? NOW!? He won't leave office, we all know that, right? @sheldonwhitehouse2.bsky.social
Donald Trump is a mushroom; He thrives in shit. This is who he truly is; an angry, stupid, and sociopathic man-child who will destroy his toys rather than share them with others. He has, thus, raped and destroyed everything that he touches. Now, he holds our lives in the balance. He must be stopped.
Even more comically, they voted for less taxes (without realizing their taxes will not go down, just wealthy peoples), and lower inflation, which will go up.
In exchange, they will get what Mr Frum describes.
And thus the cautionary tale of believing pathological liars to one’s demise continues.
Noise, conflict, and chaos is better than many Americans deserve. I am hopeful for Democratic gains in 26 and a Dem sweep in 28. Perhaps this time they won't waste it on a half assed healthcare reform measure.
I would argue that the American public voted for noise, conflict and chaos. Most of the people who voted for Trump just want to burn it down. I’ve been talking friends and family who voted for Trump and they all are doing fine financially, they’re just hopped on conspiracies and podcasters.
And unless I’m missing something, no one is doing anything to stop this or even slow it down.
Biden is pardoning turkeys and enjoying tree lighting ceremonies on bougie Nantucket.🤢😠
Do we have only a few more weeks until massive obedience to maga and 100% suppression of free speech?
Nov. 5, 2024 was worse than Dec. 7, 1941. It's a Pearl Harbor from within, spawned by the false sense that sanity, reason, economic statistics, and institutions would keep us from a Russian-style kakistophic oligarghy under the direction of rapey billionaire incels.
The “economic concerns” that are so often cited as reason for Trump’s win are surely just a camouflage. What drove the campaign was the whole array of “cultural” concerns: race first and foremost, but nationalism, religion, masculinity, wokery, education all playing a role.
And where was the price of eggs the main theme during the presidential campaign? So many Trumpers claim that the price was a reason they voted for him. Not that many people buy so many eggs that it would have made them vote for him.
No they didn't vote for cheaper eggs. Realizing the truth about the vast majority of Trump voters being hateful bigots who voted for Trump because he's going to punish their enemies (immigrants, transgender, liberals, elites,etc...) is the first step to take back our country.
By your math, there is an intractable problem. But my explanation also explains yours. Those who don't understand how the economy works have been told that minorities are taking away their money. Since they're clueless, they believe it. Racism doesn't make you inject bleach, terminal stupidity does.
And they're not going to get cheaper eggs, either. But then few Americans understand the most basic of economics: When supply declines (in this case, because of Bird Flu), prices rise. And, no, there wasn't an increase in demand for eggs because Biden spent too much or the Fed lowered interest rates
He is damaged and demented as a human being. Like everyone else in this horrific administration. Raised in a Hindu home to develop into a Nazi and a supplicant to an autocrat. That is some dark shit.
I’ll snap out of it, but I’m hoping his voters are affected the hardest.
Businesses are going to raise prices and blame tariffs. House prices aren’t coming down. ACA may actually disappear or be weakened more. Federal right-to-work.
All things his voters didn’t think they were getting.
This is the crowd that started the Tea Party…and my favorite clueless poster was “keep your government hands off my Medicare.” Up until they realized the ACA was Obamacare and hated the latter but wanted the former. Critical thinking isn’t their strength
We have to keep all these bad policies tied up in court like they did Biden not let them pass hopefully we get control of the House in two years impeach him and his criminal empire.
The American people voted for bloodshed and mass deportations. This election was about skin color not the price of eggs. Stop letting liars who support a lying rapist felon tell you what they think you should report. They’re terrible people. They lie just like their hero.
In 2022, 21% of adults in the United States were #illiterate, meaning they had a #literacy #level below sixth grade. I am not sure how a political narrative works if you cannot read?
The U.S. 2023 Total Export Value of eggs was $5.49 Billion. Of that, of that, $1.2bn was to Mexico, $732.75 Million to China, & $503.52 Million to Canada. Those 3 countries account for about 45% of our total egg export income. Trump's tariff war will result in similar retaliatory tariffs.
Is it just me, or is the whole schtick that they voted for cheaper eggs kind of spent? It wasn’t about eggs, it was about the noise, conflict, and chaos. It’s time to let them have what they wanted, and for us to focus on those who don’t thank us by spitting in our faces.
It's worse than you think. The rural voters hate urban elitists even though blue dollars flow into red states. If it wasn't for FDR, they'd be sitting in dark outhouses.
I don’t think this point gets made often or loudly enough. Rural America would not exist without the economic beneficence of urban America, and it voted for the man most likely to crater its existence.
I talked to someone back home about their resentment towards the ACA and how they hated paying for health insurance since before they could go to a hospital, get care, not pay their bill, and know the hospital would write it off. Oblivious to the fact as to why there are no hospitals in their area.
And they hate Socialism? They are wrong. Hospitals will aggressively come after you for every inflated dime on the charge master even though RC&C is often 10 cents on the dollar. Even if you're destitute, they will get a judgment. IDIOCRACY.
Oh 100%, but trying to get into the weeds of such things with people who have such deep preconceived notions… it is a painful exercise. Sadly, with every holiday trip, I lose even more empathy. I didn’t used to be so sad and angry about all of it.
I would argue a lot of Americans vote for hatred and anger towards other Americans but are aware enough that saying “cheaper eggs” is more acceptable so they nod their heads and go along with that
Because he's a fairly decent guy even though I don't always agree. I despise conservatives but he was the only conservative calling out the crazy people in his party when it was happening early on.
Conservatives were fine with their party getting nuttier as long as they were winning.
Thanks. It really hurts me to agree with conservatives because I despise their worldview. I'm very narrow minded, lol. Can't stand George Conway, Rick Wilson, Sarah Longwell ad infinitum. They were a part in creating this mess and have never taken responsibility for it.
I keep hearing about "cheaper eggs." What policies did Trump lay out that suggested his administration would do better with the global inflation problem than Biden/Harris, who have done better than any other major economy in the world?
#Republicans #maga will always being written in history, about their biggest betrayal to neo- #nazi Kremlin's new #Hitler, as #nsdap members in #Weimar Republic. They voted for cheap eggs, but inside these, there were the snake of #fascism.
Why do you think “the American people” voted based on inflation? Maybe some, but a large portion voted based on perceived grievances and because of transphobia and misogyny and xenophobia, not in spite of it. A large portion of the electorate are horrible people - stop letting them off the hook.
I'm concerned they will be told that egg prices have fallen (when they continue to rise) and believe it. Remember, Big Brother raised the chocolate ration.
I think the American people voted for more madness, chaos, nepotism and corruption from the demented, former reality TV performer that gave them that last time.
Better that than putting a woman in charge; especially a black woman.
We'll be lucky if that's all they get, David. With clowns like RFK Jr, Weldon and Makary in charge of everything to do with public health, you can add "mass death" to those three outcomes.
It’s so insulting to put down over 70 million voters constantly stating they “voted for cheaper eggs.” This just proves you don’t get it. You are proving you are out of touch with people trying to survive and who are fed up with ALL politicians. Neither Dems or the GOP care about them.
For the millions of women who voted to enshrine abortion rights in their state but also voted for trump, it was about the price of eggs and groceries and rent.
AND way more expensive eggs. But they didn't vote for that. They voted for a degenerate white man over a supremely qualified black woman. They want a shitty country with a white man in charge rather than better country with a black woman in charge. Focus group that shit. It ain't good.
It's incredibly naive to say that Amerucans didn'y vote for the impending chaos--incredibly ignorant. Americans have become the most racist, sexist, selfish people on this planet.
Many are, but the entire electorate moved right. Rather than assume Biden supporters became deplorable, it's more likely that there is an epidemic of willful ignorance.
They aren't a homogeneous group. A portion is a basket of deplorables. However, there was a rightward shift nationwide comprised of many Biden supporters.The most defensible explanation is that nearly half the population is willfully ignorant.
Trump got 3 million votes this year than 2020, 77 millions vs 74 millions, so let's assume the 3 millions were Biden voters, that's less than 5% of his total votes. Which prove my point that the vast majority voted for hate and bigotry. Trump entire campaign was about hate and bigotry, it's a fact.
Didn’t Salem Media have to admit false information was used in 2,000 mules?
But of course the “deep state” would make me believe that! Certainly not the actual evidence there wasn’t any evidence of their daydream?nightmare? Clusterfuck? Yeah,that’s it ,that one. can’t change all history Don.
Guessing only a sliver of Trump voters voted for the Revenge agenda and the remainder will hopefully express their distaste for it-especially if egg prices don’t drop
people wanted cheaper eggs…..
the man promised them cheaper eggs.
the people did not look at the truck filled with eggs…..
now they have baskets filled with foul eggs.

This stupid trade war that Trump intends to wage against the world 🌎 could cause terrible economic and social crises, as well as conflicts around the world.
Yes, @davidfrum.bsky.social, Patel is awful and a fascist, but you had no problem with calls to jail journalists for "treason" during the Bush administration.
The liberals here supporting Frum shouldn't forget who he is (let alone rehab Bush and the Cheneys).

There is something so soulless…so evil and dark about the energy shooting out of his eyes.
I think he’s ruthlessly had many people slaughtered in past lives. Likely a former Nazi general…and similar incarnations prior to that.
Trump is Hitler 2.0.
Stop this 'economic anxiety' stuff.
Supermarkets have been ripping people off for over 2 years, using each bird flu outbreak to skyrocket egg prices. It's ridiculous. $4.99 a dozen in Phoenix now.
Trump did nothing his first term and this term will be the same.
No.
Yes.
For many, dismantling government, betraying our allies, and coalescing power around an autocrat *was the selling point.*
"The firing of Wray is the real outrage. The obnoxious nomination of Patel slathers frosting and sprinkles on the outrage."
I learned from this article's context
Kamala Harris offered a progressive, inclusive future for the nation.
White America looked at that and wanted no part of it.
No hens-Few eggs = High price.
Trump and grocery stores disseminated misinformation.
It's the virus stupid.

Much more expensive eggs.
He said he was going to do all the things he is currently doing.

They didn't vote for cheaper eggs. They voted for Donald Trump.
