Whoa...brianlux on fire handing out blocks like Oprah hands out gifts!!! You get a car and you get a car and you get.... I have 1 person on my list. Was there once, took them off, had to put them back on. I don't wanna get banned.
Not wanting to get banned is one of the reasons why I have a growing ignore list. I won't wast my time arguing with fools on the internet, and they having nothing to say worth my time reading.
Brian - you are a good dude and clearly care about others beside yourself. I saw your other thread about democracy being lost and other comments in this thread.
Respectfully, what happened yesterday was part of the democratic process. Trump was elected. Senators were elected. Representatives were elected. All by a legit voting process. Politicians campaigned. Outlined their positions. People voted. Nothing that happened yesterday was against democracy.
In 2026, there will be another election. In 2028 a new President will be elected.
Thank you. Honestly, I don't feel like a good person today. I am angry and, as John Lydon once said, "anger is an energy", meaning it can be put to good, creative purpose. But it can also be ugly. My present anger has no redemptive value. But thanks for the kind words.
As for democracy, the irony, as I see it, is that we used the democratic process to end democracy. Of course we would like to believe democracy still exists. I hope that proves to be true. But right now, the fact is, America voted to end democracy. It's his major goal. I totally believe him. It's one of the few things he says that is not a lie.

Are you angry at the Latinos too? Or is it just the white mans fault?
Can you read?
Ok, you need some time to digest. I understand. Everything will be ok, Halifax to the Max.
Clearly you can’t read. You accused me of blaming white males when I posted the multitude of reasons I thought POOTWH would win 2 weeks prior to the election. Enjoy your Reich.
Anticipation of reduced regulations. In particular, look at bank stocks. Investors are being on Chopra being fired from the CFPB.
Reduced regulations and faster easing of monetary policy. Also, the markets have historically went up the morning after a presidential election.
Was listening to a finance guy this after about this topic. As he said “the market will do what the market will do.” His is caution was investors will take whatever gains they can get now, but the long term will depend on who Trump brings on board to lead the Treasury and as economic advisors.If it ends up being bootlicking crypto weirdos, the rally may be short lived.

I think telling that the election is decided plays a part as well.
As far as monetary policy, I’m sure Trump is going to publicly pressure the Fed to cut rates faster. Another terrible idea.

Trumps policy will slow the rate cuts, he’s going to drive up inflation. Tariffs, reduced immigration, unjustified stock market valuation increases. Speeding up rate cuts would be putting gas on the fire.

Rate cuts are already coming. I fear all of these things you call our out will happen together, to the overall detriment to the economy. In no world do I think he won’t put enormous pressure on the Fed to cut.

I agree, cuts are still coming but the pressure will be to slow down if inflation picks back up. It all depends how fast he moves on the tariffs and immigration drops

I feel like you’re confusing trump with a normal person.
But you’re right the timing of important. I think the cuts will be baked in before tariffs take hold.
Elon’s gotta cut the dead weight. Streamline the govt bloat. It’ll be super nice to take out the trash. Theres just too many overpaid dopes sitting at desks doing nothing. The blue collar average working class country folks took down the party of the rich urban elites last night and we’ll watch what happens. Exciting stuff for the hardworkers out there.

If I’m remembering correctly, in his first term didn’t trump pressure the Fed for a negative interest rate?
If history over the past 40 years has show us the GOP has no issue with tanking the economy for first term gains.

Nah, first order of business is to expose Obama, Hillary and Nancy’s made up Russia, Russia, Russia hoax and try and convict them.

Right…the hardworking, blue collar folks are going to benefit from the trump presidency. Lol.

They won’t benefit with more money or a better life. But they will at least get the pleasure of seeing somebody else not doing as well. Kind of like people who don’t want raises, but want Costco employees to stop making $28 an hour or whatever.
And this contempt would probably do a 180 into respect if these people did the same exact thing except for a private company.

If you voted for POOTWH, there’s something seriously wrong with your moral compass. Own it. Suckers.
From Letter From an American:
Many voters who were using their vote to make an economic statement are likely going to be surprised to discover what they have actually voted for. In his victory speech, Trump said the American people had given him an “unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
White nationalist Nick Fuentes posted, “Your body, my choice. Forever,” and gloated that men will now legally control women’s bodies. His post got at least 22,000 “likes.” Right-wing influencer Benny Johnson, previously funded by Russia, posted: “It is my honor to inform you that Project 2025 was real the whole time.”
Today, Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump would launch the “largest mass deportation operation” of undocumented immigrants, and the stock in private prison companies GEO Group and CoreCivic jumped 41% and 29%, respectively. Those jumps were part of a bigger overall jump: the Dow Jones Industrial Average moved up 1,508 points in what Washington Post economic columnist Heather Long said was the largest post-election jump in more than 100 years.
As for the lower prices Trump voters wanted, Kate Gibson of CBS today noted that on Monday, the National Retail Federation said that Trump’s proposed tariffs will cost American consumers between $46 billion and $78 billion a year as clothing, toys, furniture, appliances, and footwear all become more expensive. A $50 pair of running shoes, Gibson said, would retail for $59 to $64 under the new tariffs.
U.S. retailers are already preparing to raise prices of items from foreign suppliers, passing to consumers the cost of any future tariffs.
Does all that knocking doors and classic shit even matter in 2024 vs chatting along with Joe Rogan-type people like ”a normal person” about UFC?
Dominating the ”ground matter” doesn’t seem to matter…
This is what fueled the win for Republicans. Charlie Kirk with TP USA and Scott Presler’s operation in Pennsylvania were two of the biggest. They worked their asses off.

MAGAs also need to own how weak and stupid they are. They think that voting in a piece of shit into the presidency is a bold way to change America, and trolling people on a band fan site makes them tough shit. That's hilarious. What's even more hilarious is how badly this is all going to backfire on them. They somehow think this move is going to make their lives better. Jesus Christ, talk about buyer's remorse. MAGA are going to be shitting bricks before they know it. And to top it all off, they just made themselves America's biggest enemy from within, not the heroes they think they are. What a shit show. Unreal.

Do you believe in climate change?
"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"
I think some of my posts over the last few months will show this. I have been saying that if trump wins it is because the electorate is just too fucking ignorant.
How do we recover from that? How does an opposition party combat complete ignorance of an electorate influenced by memes rather than actual facts? These people do not listen to in depth discussions of important topics, they vote strictly on outrage.
Case in point...I saw a magat in a red hat interviewed about his vote. He said that he did not vote for trump in 2020 but voted for him this time because Biden promised to relieve his student loans and that didn't happen.
We are truly fucked if we get to the point where both parties just fucking lie to get voted into office.
