      I don’t expect everybody to be politically aware, but there’s “not politically aware” and then there’s whatever that is.

      So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.

      I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.

        How do you expect people to think any differently when there is nobody combatting that narrative at the national level? That is something the Democrats could have been hammering on.

          Uh, just basic knowledge of how the President’s job works? Stuff we learn in grade school. Everyone should know this, but people are idiots.

            Right, which is why you educate them and make the case for them to vote for you, or else the other side will spread their disinformation without any competing narrative. That’s kind of the entire point of a presidential campaign. Just calling people idiots isn’t going to make them not be idiots.

        Anecdotally… About 75% of the right that I know/met.

        The other 25% is a mix of racism, greed, and conspiracy theory.

          Every time they’ll be complaining about the price hikes under Trump, just remind them of why they voted for Trump. This is the best course of action against “collective amnesia” as we call it in Hungary.

            Oh alongside the loss of benefits they rely on (which I told them about), the pandemic potential with the worst Kennedy, even their friends which are of varying ethnicities and going to be targeted, the list is… Long.

          Solid distinction.

          Religion primed the rubes, and a new godhead told them he is their salvation.

      Grocery stores are making record profits. Do they really think they are going to voluntarily cut prices? They know there will be no oversight under trump (not that Biden did anything about price gouging). Prices are going to go up even higher.

          It matters to MAGA Republicans. Your friend is a legal immigrant, he’s here to stay and we 100% welcome him.

            Ah, yes, just like the completely legal Haitian immigrants.

            Clearly, a well supported position from the republican party. Totally not the exact opposite of what came out of the pres elect and VP elect.

            Reminded a bit of a certain anchorman gif right about now…

              Some Haitians are legal, and some are “legal” due to this sus app the new administration will be looking into. I think some from that app will stay and some will have to leave, but they’ll clear it up.

              Do you mean the eating cats and dogs thing? I’m glad that got cleared up. :)
