Im begging for something to happen that shocks the American public into realizing how good we have it Especially right now compared to everyone's post covid recovery. It hurts trying to explain something so gradual you cant feel www.cbpp.org/research/eco... www.federalreserve.gov/econres/note...

A recession did happen during COVID. It was more intense but lasted for a shorter amount of time

The U.S. is shown to be the only economy out of Canada, Euro Area, United Kingdom, and United States when comparing output loss.

U.S. is at 0% loss from expected trajectory post pre covid while the other 3 average out to 5% behind projections.

United States far ahead in real GDP, Final Consumption, and Investment when compared to Canada, Euro Area, and the United Kingdom.

Liberals have never been anti-war. This has never been a thing for hundreds of years. There is no pacifist tradition of liberalism. We are not Quakers. Does literally fucking anyone read political philosophy anymore.

I look at this and just wanna cry

Depressing graph of the right sweekling 18-64 year olds

Young men and women both moving right on voting. Im gonna end it all 🤑

The whole country hates unions, low inflation, and low interest rates because we dont podcast hard enough

Republicans are wrong on all questions and vote against their interest based on rheir answer

We know they're definitely still used as aggressor trainers and ballistic missile trainers. I'd bet they do some stuff in less dense areas where an export S300 won't just randomly see a nighthawk in 2024

Id say I recognize bout 7 of em

Genuinely who the fuck are these people I have never seen them in my life???????

Bernie Sanders speaks, and people think its gospel. He needs to just play the role of wise grandpa, quiet advisor in the corner he's meant to be

Its so annoying. Cause you can point to really sketchy things Elon did that could count as some interference, but instead they jump to the fake stuff

The billionaires have always had their grimy lil fingers in there. Its just publicly supported and out in the open now in the ungodly timeline we live in. Really hope after the pendulum swings Elon gets his clearance taken away and his subsidized assets nationalized

Hey, that's relatively new for us! We just have Elon in an actual position of influence and direct power now, too. It's not like he wasn't already an oligarch for Putin or anything, but yknow

The new oligarchy that's forming in the U.S. actually 😞

It is a very bleak image for sure

The whole generation that grew up with anti gamergate/sjw then to Ben Shapiro and now to Rogan is a very smooth transition of brainwashing. Tucker Carlson and Elon are just their natural end point I guess

I agree that'd be an amazing start to the problem. Especially being able to get to the root of the problem and bypass crazy parents with an innocent book. Something you made me think harder on was that whole protag problem. Ive always known damsel in distress in an issue, creating misogyny obv --

When the price of groceries go up and the value of my dollar stays the same 🙀🙀🙀 what do we call this my maga besties???? Actual inflationary policies!!! God theyre sooooo stupid

If you want left to win, apparently, it needs to be Latino birth rates lmao

And i was a criminal justice major with a focus on victimology with a minor in psych and sociology. This does not make me a "formally educated expert" LMAOOO And yes because youre younger literally means you have less experience than most people as you have been alive for a shorter time. What?

So are just sending a stockpile to Ukraine and hoping it doesnt just turn into a 20 year long arms race along the DMZ or what? Are iskanders just 150 miles from kiev the next cuban missile crisis Jesus fuck kill me now. I dont even wanna think about the Netenyahu policies

We'd be in for a very interesting mid term to say the least...

So you agree we should be "shaking our fists" at the youth then?

If I had 60% of whites thinking its okay for blacks to use the same drinking fountain. Then randomly 4 years later only 52% of them said its okay. Id start 🤨 at white people as the harbingers of segregation back in this country

100

I dont know how youre looking at underperforming REAL rates of 60% -> 52% and underperforming ESTIMATED numbers of 20 points above DJT and not see young voters breaking away almost 50/50 but alright bro keep coping. The young people in this country need to be specifically adressed or trends continue

120

Dog 2020 was a super response biased election where more people than ever and usual voted. This one less so but still. Younger people made up less of the demographic this time. BUT Kamala still lost a shit ton of young voters enough to make it basically like they went for Trump man. 53% is really 50

100

+11 is actually terrifying. Podcasts and social media being absused since Gamergat are an almost insurmountable mountain to climb. I don't even know what the next step in effective messaging would even be lmao

But your problem with me is that you said he showed me that the younger voters we jokingly call "foot soldiers of fascism" in fact were not voting for Trump. But I showed you they did, in fact, vote for Trump +11 18-29. So whats going on here?

Are you saying young men are more likely to vote Harris than Trump?

Yea, the youngest are always the least likely to vote it isnt news. We knew forever the "undecideds" and Jill Stein (evil) threats didnt actually matter. I AM ONE OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE. He was saying "hey dont be mad about a startling number of young men and woman moving right." It seems an issue
