They won't. They vote against their own interests time and time again. Why? Racism, sexism, xenophobia, transphobia and general bigotry are powerful drugs to that base
George, Why Americans vote against their own self interest is a subject that has launched thousands of doctoral dissertations. The answer always seems to be that bigotry trumps (see what I did there) self interest. Let them say the N-word and you can rob them blind.
They won't because Trump makes them feel justified in being the worse, most uneducated version of themselves. These people don't even know pronouns are grammar.
Longer than that, and it's set to keep going. Only people with really short attention spans and no idea how the world works think things just magically happen under one president or another.
Given that low income households are much more likely to pay overdraft fees, it’s just one more example of Republicans trying to steal from the poor to give to the rich.
Not until Dems actually start doing more to help people themselves. And I do mean through action and laws and not just platitudes and campaign promises
I work in banking and already much of the regulations are being removed. So pick a bank that is ethically and yes they exist and they aren't just credit unions. Chase is total trash. Trash to their workers and customers.
USA was our friend once. But with such a friend you dont need an enemy.
It will be war between Europe and the USA.
And USA will stand alone in this war. Without any friends.
if any americans or canadians reading this would be interested, i’m making a discord server for americans considering asylum and canadians willing to help out. i’d be happy to send you all a link if you’re interested!
I grew up in Mississippi & they truly believe that trials and tribulations are gods will that test their faith.
Twurp can be stepping over their soon to be corpse dying in agony by what he caused & they will look up in euphoric glee saying “thank you praise be” for him being their god.
No, Trump received more votes in 2024 than 2020, plus this time he received more votes than his opponent on top of that, all the crap he’s done his approval rating is approaching 50%, so no the voters won’t wake up.
Serious question: WTF is happening into the US? Where ist your fear and where is your rage. As a German growing up learning about the 30ies I always thought, well they ALL must have been Nazis and deeply antisemetic. Since Trump I’m wondering if I wasn’t to harsh on them. Obviously you go quietly
Into destruction and you squint your eyes so hard so that you can go on just 1 more day telling u it will be fine and it is what it is. Seriously America: u have to wake up!!! This is the moment when they said now or never. Because later you won’t be allowed anymore and it will be much more dangerou
And why am I the only one terrified everyday when I read the news? I rarely have ever felt such anxiety and it’s getting worse because I seem to be the only one
When I was in a political science class in college, my professor told the class that everyone votes with their own best interest. I have found that to be not true at all. Lol
Spite-one's-nose Trump voters fall into three categories:
(1) irredeemable assholes,
(2) people too stupid to realize they are being conned,
(3) people sick of being screwed, angry at everything, and just want to see it all burn down.
The first 2 are beyond help; the last still might turn the tide.
No, they will not.
Every case showing that they are being abused and/or robbed will only make them more angry at you, who points at all those wrongs. With every word criticising their "gods", they will hate you more.
And if they wake up, it'll be too late, as US will be full fascist then
Trump's voters will bend over and find a reason to obey. That's who they are. Little doggies on their hind legs, begging for scraps or harsh discipline from their masters. They don't much care which -- anything so that they don't have to think for themselves.
Nope they’re brainwashed with so much fake information and only maybe when they start paying more for everything they buy I have seen in my area that all the trump followers are so wealthy that they don’t pay taxes example this bar owner now only take cash for alcohol sale won’t take any card
Sir,
You’ve been asking this since before social media. You know they won’t.
PS- thank you for that time at a Trek con when you showed me true kindness. When you later came out, remembering that kindness helped me to not trust my family and church telling me I should hate you.
You saved me.
No, George. They won't. They are too stupid and self-centered to think about anything else but "owning the libs". These people are a disease and need to be treated as such.
Those who voted for Trump will still blame liberals. If Trump shot someone on 5th avenue his sick cult would blame that on liberals too. Magas never hold Trump accountable for anything. And Congressional Republicans won't hold him accountable cuz they're afraid of him. We're basically screwed.
No, they won't. They voted for him hoping he was going to hurt the people they hate. They honestly don't give a damn how much damage he does, so long as the people they see as 'less than' suffer just that little bit more.
here in Belgium, we had over 60 000 people protesting against the new right-wing government's cuts on state employees like the police, fire departments etc
And the reason I know this is because I’m watching news outlets covering them. Not much to see. Did you go to the protests? I sure as hell haven’t seen many personal photos on here of people who did. You think there’d be 1000s on here the way people talk about La Revolution.
The protests in the United States are underwhelming. A few hundred or a few dozen people in some cities around the country. You’ll have 1 million people protesting in cities all over France because of a fucking transit fee hike, it’s not because the French have so much more time to goof off.
Protests are happening, though they're getting barely any coverage in mainstream news in the US (shocker). I believe https://www.reddit.com/r/50501/ is where a lot of coordiation is happening.
Because too many value this idea of maximum theoretical freedom, and think the government gets in the way of that. I fully blame Cold War propaganda for it.
They won't know until they get hit with their first major one and by that time, reps will "try to repeal" it by tacking it into some atrocious bill that no dem would pass then blame them for the overdrafts and rinse and repeat.
I once got a $30 overdraft fee because the bank predicted I was going to overdraft a day before my direct deposit hit!? Needless to say I got that money back RFQ!
Everyone should pull their money out of banks and put into credit unions. Pull all extra money out and don’t let them use it to make money. Only maintain day to day monies in the accts.
@schumer.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @fetterman.senate.gov @sanders.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov YOU MUST SUCCEED ON THIS - it was wonderful under Biden w NO BANK FEES - you've approved EVERY one of Trump's picks STEP UP ON THIS & SUCEED!
MAGA you have bank accounts yes? Most people do, but not everyone - anyhoo, it is ALMOST worth paying bank fees just knowing that you have to pay them as well
You deserve it - you were warned BUT YOU KNEW BETTER the man is a felon & sex offender but that but that was fake right? WRONG
NO. Stop giving the benefit of the doubt to these personalities. Malignant narcissist megalomaniacs and enabler minions have predictable patterns. Usually alone, unless the end goal is in their interests. This is a global schism. CPAC 🌐 planned decades. Generational 4 all
#Roycohning #Machiavellian
No. Voters are not hurting enough yet. It is still going according to plan and they forgive and justify easily. To them America is on the right track and enjoy Trumps daily drama. They want entertainment, and they get it in spades.
How many people do you think paid more despite that? How many people are unbanked because they can't pay more? Who is really without capital and who is paying ALL of the bank fees?
Not private wealth like you and the other guys in your tax bracket. Fix that.
No. But we don’t need them. We just have to get our own to fucking vote sensibly (not for time-wasting 3rd party narcissists), and the low-info voters… who I assume are about 60% of the voting public… have to be woken up by their own shit getting fucked with.
Hell, Fox has also brainwashed all their viewers that Democrats are "communist." And that there is a sinister "leftist agenda" to make everyone trans vegans.
Not until it is too late even then they will blame the other side for it, like some of us are blaming our own side for doing nothing. ~Divided We Fall~
No, as long as someone is "sticking it" to their perceived enemies, " woke and liberals," they're ok with this lawlessness.
That's the pinnacle of hate, maga hate.
Equally as important, will rank and file MAGAs ever wake up to the fact that they're orange leader is red through and through? He's a Russian asset/agent helping to hand the USA over to Putin. The old GOP God, Reagan, is spinning in his grave.
He can’t run again
Bad though this is, it pales next to the death of democracy, and he has to destroy democracy or he dies in prison, so we have to multi-task. We can’t let this distract us: #TyrannyIsComing
Trump voters don’t want him to help them. Trump voters want him to hurt others. As long as he keeps doing that, they’ll stick by his side even if it kills them.
The attack on the CFPB was never intended to stop with just destroying it, that was just the first waypoint in the push to destroy the American citizens so that they would be blind dumb willing slaves to trump and his broligarch buddies!
Destroying the DOE is another waypoint!
As some one with family on the right, and has had to watch them continue to support this agenda. I don't think they will ever wake up. Some truly believe this rhetoric, and it hurts. Others will call the facts propaganda & ignore you. Or worse yell at you till you stop talking. It's awful.
I'd like to know what Jamie Diamond thinks about the increase in overdraft fees? Why, is it necessary? Easy to see all MAGA wants is to please the wealthy with more wealth while they destroy our country. Our MAGA congress is really working on complicated issues!! 🤑
No not on their own. The democrats need to give alternate propaganda just waiting on them to come to there senses is just not going to happen. Or it already would've the last election
I will venture to guess that MAGAs MIGHT wake up January 21, 2029. MIGHT. very slim chance, but a strong possibility.
GOP is too busy kissing "the king's" ass for the next 4 yrs
I live in a RED town. My poker home game is 80% MAGA. The topic of credit card cos and banks ripping people off came up among them. I said, “too bad we won’t have the CFPB to keep fighting them.” Two of them went OFF on me claiming the CFPB was the most fraudulent agency of them all. 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Never. Their hate and glee at hurting others overrides everything else. Even if the facts of the matter made it into their tiny brains, they'd still say their woes were worth sticking it to people they had been manipulated to hate.
Useful idiots DO NOT CARE about bank fees when they are owning the left. They will gladly be jobless, broke, sick, and dying, so long as they believe the BIPOC and 2SLGBTQAI+ are getting it worse.
This is not a surprise, but it should be a sunrise to all Americans as we become more victimized by the corporations and more dependent on loans to maintain our livlihoods.
Personally, I think this is funny. I was working temporarily as a bank teller this past summer. A customer complained that the fees were too high & that was one of the reasons why she was voting for Trump and so should I. I laughed & told her I could never do that. I wish I could see her face now.
Read about this before IT took office. My sister & I moved our money to a credit union. The FDIC will be discontinued & the NAZI GOONS will be stealing your money!
Sadly, GOP supporters are too ignorant, bitter, or greedy to want the government to remain in place. They would rather tear it all down than receive any government assistance because that is the boot strapy thing to do.

Their goal is to increase the wealth at the top, because that's ALWAYS worked out so well.
One: Trump or his party fuck up so badly that the entire country rallies against him
Two: Germany in 1945
.
Sound familiar?
No. They are lost to reason.
If he hadn't made our lives so much better & easier by eliminating all the bank fees in the first place this never would be happening
It will be war between Europe and the USA.
And USA will stand alone in this war. Without any friends.

They need louder counters, to tell them who did this.
The libs aren't being aggressive enough. The media isn't even reporting, or questing his lies now.
here in Belgium, we had over 60 000 people protesting against the new right-wing government's cuts on state employees like the police, fire departments etc
WHY is it not happening in the US???

This knocked us down - we're shell shocked - I voted blue & knew Trump was evil & threatened democracy but this is so far over the top...
& I have to be at work - I can't be part of the growing unemployed .... many of us are looking to act in response but ...not sure what to do
The chaos and rapid pace of bad news and events make things difficult and stressful...
I am so sorry for all of you, I really am!
Americans are afraid of the police for a reason.
and yea, Belgian police have "anti riot trucks" that spray cold water or something, but I agree that the police in the US is far more dangerous

That is what keeps them alive.
They will defend it with their dying breath

Biden ELIMINATED bank fees for us, including overdraft & all bank fees
I for one LOVED it & MAGA your guy RUMP wants the poor banks to have another go at your money - prepare!
MAGA you have bank accounts yes? Most people do, but not everyone - anyhoo, it is ALMOST worth paying bank fees just knowing that you have to pay them as well
You deserve it - you were warned BUT YOU KNEW BETTER the man is a felon & sex offender but that but that was fake right? WRONG

Anytime the GOP brings up crap like this, I wish their base would realize just how un-pro-life they actually are.
Fox News has my mother believing that "the Democrats are crooks."
You can't compete with that.
Fascism sucks.
Wake the f*ck up America.
That's the pinnacle of hate, maga hate.
STOP TRYING TO APPEASE HATEFUL FUCKS, and focus on giving the LEFT what they need to drive TURNOUT!!
It’s such an easy equation #DNC - but your own guys don’t know who FDR is, so yeah - I get it…
Stop kissing the ass that is SHITTING ON YOU!
