MODERATORS
They didn’t vote against me. The problem is they voted against their own interests. They voted for bigger lies. Ie. Gullible
No, we’ve all seen how logic and reason is futile. Touching base with reality does nothing. Actual experts are dismissed as less important than their echo chamber. Ie. Emotionally driven, easily manipulated
If you could explain to them, the unprecedented levels of fact checking, proven falsehoods, would have stopped this before the first term
Yes reality. Here is reality: record high personal debt, bankruptcies, homelessness, record high immigration for "amnesty", the funding of foreign proxy wars and when actual citizens ask "please help us" the response is vote for us and maybe we will. That is their reality not that they "fell for big lies". You are the one trapped in an echo chamber.
Trend since 2011 showing personal debt trending down or flat
data 2001-2022 showing bankruptcies way down. While it isn’t current, it would have to be up hundreds of percent
Ok homelessness was on a steady downward trend until a spike in the last year or two, undoing progress since 2007
Immigration for amnesty does not indicate a problem here but is more driven by problems elsewhere. It’s more difficult (and generally frowned upon) to interfere in other countries.
Helping Ukraine defend itself has generally been the popular choice, and it’s great for the US economy. The war in Gaza may not be popular but we’re not really spending money on it.
One party has been trying to pursue healthcare reform, student loan debt, restore unions, bring manufacturing back to the us, invest in infrastructure and help transition us to a more modern economy, and other wants to distract with pointless trade wars and tariffs while cutting taxes for wealthy
They're just a troll
Yeah, I fall for those way too frequently
According to Bank of America, the percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck has been increasing, with 47% of consumers reporting that they live this way in the third quarter of 2024
Car repossessions are up 23% in 2024 compared to the previous year, and 14% higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2019:
The homelessness rate in the United States increased from 1.75 to 1.96 per 1,000 people between 2022 and 2023, a 12% rise. This is the highest rate since 2012.
