Nope. The got expensive healthcare subsidized by tax payers. Then Obama bombed some countries and enhanced the military industrial complex. Short term, like I mentioned, he opened the border to bring in more people dependent on the government, so that eventually they will get voting rights and the Ds will never lose again. The Democrats winning isn't the end of the world, look at California. Sure it has problems but it is still massive, growing, and wealthy. Same with Chicago and New York city. They haven't collapsed or fallen apart, no matter how much we hoped that would happen. The next Dem President those borders are going to be swung wide open again...because the Do Nothing Republican Congress has failed the people. You seem to gloss over that aspect of things. Trump came in with strong political capital and gave Congress as list of things. The Speaker of the House said no and got removed. He was replaced with someone who said NO slightly less. Thune has always told Trump to get lost. Just like Paul Ryan did in Trump 1.0. Thune, Ryan, Johnson...etc all answer to the wealthy elites who fund their PACs. Blaming the Left is exactly what the elites want you to do. The constant fighting and blaming distracts people from who is really calling the shots. That doesn't mean the Democrats don't suck, they do, but they aren't the source of the problem. |

Massie will be gone, so you can cheer that. Problem solved right? My agenda is America First. Trump has abandoned most of that besides securing the border. I too wanted the conflict with Iran permanently ended. Every leader who chanted "Death to America" should be eliminated. That isn't happening. Trump keeps pushing for a deal to end it, while the leadership there continues to lie and attack. Those people should be eliminated, not given a deal. |

Massie stuck to his principles of smaller government, cutting spending, not being the world police, no wars, and no tariffs. Trump campaigned on most of those. Now we see massive debt, a war that is dragging on, higher prices, and a larger government. The middle of the road Republican isn't going to rush to the polls to vote for more of that. I fear the 2026 mid-terms will be similar to 2006. |

Trump did not provide details about where the money would come from or the legality of his promise.

Someone else pointed it out, but the information making our previous trade negotiations look incompetent came from Trump. The smallest amount of research reveals that conditions leading to the global balance of trade were not unreasonable before Trump 2.0, but rather there were specific areas for improvement. These areas included but were not limited to: intellectual property law enforcement in other countries (we need to stop third world countries or China from stealing our ideas); diversify supply chains; lower the cost of doing business in the US (streamline regulations, cut red tape, give tax incentives); and incentivize or tariff certain sectors related to national security/sovereignty. But instead of doing small adjustments to domestic and foreign policy, we had expansive changes to our trade policies around the globe and now we have these ridiculous trade wars, tariffs on things we can’t produce, and a lot less goodwill globally.

Mike Johnson gave a press conference and bragged: We've DELIVERED for Americans by: Enacting the largest middle and working class tax cut in US history Creating new incentives to build and hire American Adding the biggest boost to job creation in decades Establishing Trump accounts for every American child Restoring safety and order to our cities Stopping American deaths from the scourge of fentanyl Closing the border Pretty much all that was done in the OBBB last year. What have they been doing since? |

Bureaucrats decide what is needed and what you will get. THey make all the decisions. Controlled economy is claiming an all-encompassing prescience of what everyone wants vs. what they will need. And they never get anything right. The Special distribution stores provided the nomenklatura with stocked groceries while the normies had bare shelves. They got special apartments, houses and working conditions. Automobiles. Vacations. Western appliances and electronics. So there were special things for the appartchnicks (true believers in their secular religion), not much materially for the normies (non-practicing/non- preaching parishoners) and the gulags (for the heretics). This is what the Left/ Progressives/ DSA have planned for them and for you. |

They suppress every story they don't want and then promote the ones they do. The Dem Governor in that image is the one sent State Troops to harass people at church during covid, placed a swat team outside the home one of the early covid cases with orders not to let him leave, killed off small businesses with lockdowns, embraces deviants and abortions....but then turns around brags about how his faith leading him. He also vetoed lowering state income tax, before then taking credit for it bragging about it, but now saying it is bad because there is a budget shortfall and all the Republicans fault. The public doesn't care about most of that, thus the memory of a goldfish. They only care about what is showing up in their feed at the moment. But one something the public is aware of on a daily basis is how much $$$ is leaving their wallet. The Republican leaders telling people it is fine, short term discomfort, a transitionary period....etc doesn't make anything better when the gas pump turns off because pre-auth limit has been reach before the tank was full. |
Get Active or Get Disarmed! That means get involved in helping good candidates in primary and general election. That is in addition to being politically active once they are elected.

This is what the Left/ Progressives/ DSA have planned for them and for you. I thought thats what I said |

By "consumer market" I meant anything made for the general public without a government applicability. Stuff made for the average person |

With our Do Nothing Republican Congress I will surprised if there isn't a massive blue tsunami that cleans them out. The House Leadership is completely out of touch with people and reality. Speaker Johnson did add in a 48 hour notice to be called back in the terms on the recess. If the heat picks up on them taking another 50 days off I bet they get called for a vote on something they describe as serious.  |

If Trump is so amazing and motivating to the Republican base...then why did the US 4th District House seat just cancel their Lincoln Day Dinner? Trump got his hand picked puppet in place, something like 55%-45%. You would think the GOP Lincoln Day Dinner for that district would be a massive MAGA event. Yet an event that is packed wall to wall every year had so few people buy tickets that they had to cancel the event! Explain that "Trump is always right" crowd. You said the people who voted to get rid of Massie were energized and motivated...not dumb boomers listening to broadcast network news and bought into Trump's lies. So what happened, why is that 55% of voters no longer engaged? From a State Rep in that district.  |

Nothing escapes it, not even attempts to paper it over with price controls. Not in a command economy. Supply is decided by the government. Demand is ignored (more of just guessing- wrongly). Because they are psuedo-religiously prescient. They know exactly what the entirety of the population wants. And will get. It's in the von Mises book- Omnipotent Government. What you want and what you actually can get is a free market thing when expressed in producing it. What you want and what you get in the controlled economies is next to coincidental if it happens at all (for normies). And why authoritarian governments spawn black markets- because open markets do not exist in them. "You will own nothing- and be happy" |

The shills on X and Trump's team are going into over drive on berating people about how they need to vote. The shills haven't figured out that continuing to insult and berate people is not going to endear people to them. Someone must finally be seeing the writing on the wall...but the respond is wrong.

Everybody knows adhominem attacks are the way to sway people. Just look at Trump's love of name-calling and how well he's polling now. |

If you can't get that done while holding both houses, what good are you? Just Pathetic. (And) I not only do not want $5000 from the Government, I do not want the Government offering it to me/everyone. What about some F'ing fiscally responsible governing? When are we ever going to see that? When does that shit start? The $40 Trillion debt is not going to go away on it's own - and the ever growing debt and it's subsequent interest, will eventually crush us. Show some F'ing backbone - do what's right, and address that MF'r. THAT is what I want to see. |
