When this term is up.

Which is when?

You already said both sides are controlled by the wealthy.

Yep.

Difference being, democratic voters are in favor of raising taxes on the wealthy. Republicans voters are not.

Unfortunately our current democratic politicians are mostly right of center and represent corporate America. They're bought and paid for, they're weak, that's why confidence in the party is so low currently.

Which is why democratic politicians like Bernie, AOC, Mamdani and a handful of others are (hopefully) the future of the party.

when his term is up.

When is that?

Capitalism has degrades the quality of the news media over the past fifty years.

It became a quest for ratings.

One thing that's problematic is people are using social media for "news" but all they're getting is confirmation bias.

At a much higher volume than what they got from traditional mainstream media.

He is going to be shocked by the negative backlash to himself personally.

I'm not too sure he cares.

Do Putin or Xi or Kim Jong care what their subjects think of them?

I'm still waiting to find out what Trump meant when he started repeatedly that once he won in 2024, people wouldn't have to worry about voting again.

The tax rate is the only contributing factor we can reasonably mimic without starting a world war.

Perhaps that's why Trump created the Department of War.

If we successfully destroy all competing nations, we'll be #1 again.

MAGA!

You can't remove those other realities.

Show me where I did. I literally acknowledged MAGA would be in favor of that.

On the other hand. They'll fight tooth and nail against raising taxes on the wealthy.

Women and minorities go back to where they belong.
Billions of Chinese and Indians give up their middle class and go back to poverty.

I don't see MAGA having any issue with any of that.

I was pointing out the part of 1955 that actually made America Great.

It was taxing the rich. 90%. Which allowed our government to invest in the nation.

liberal men have an inner drive to make sure people don't mistake you for gay.

You don't know what you're talking about. You're just vomiting up bullshht.

Most liberal men are comfortable enough with their sexuality they're not bothered by being mistaken as gay. They know being mistaken as a gay man doesn't mean anything nor does it shatter their egos.

Conservatives are insecure because they believe being mistaken as gay means they're acting feminine and they're now required to become homosexual.

Hell. Most people bothered by being mistaken for being homosexual, are homosexual.

Like you. That's why you believe everyone is doing everything they can to prevent others from assuming they're gay, because that's what you're constantly doing, it's classic projection.

You're one of our more ignorant posters. You're also proud of your ignorance, which is why you constantly double down on it.

You're an idiot.

1955?

Better raise taxes on the wealthy to 90% and invest in America again.

The rich, who control both parties, aren't gonna let that happen.

what does the average republican voter want for America?
#28 | POSTED BY EBERLY

More money in their bank account, more stability in their futures, an easier life.

MAGA is fueled by anger. Mostly because people are unhappy with their lives.

They think they are.

They're loyal to the vision they have for America.

But I'm not sure they realize what that vision is or how to achieve it.

I can tell you one thing for sure, what Trump wants from America and what the average republican voter want for America are two completely different things.

As many are finding out the hard way.

But at the time?

I don't know. I wasn't alive at the time.

But based on what I've seen, seems like Nixon didn't have the support Trump does.

Also, seems like Nixon had more integrity.

But again. A lot of this is based on second hand information.

I hope the country survives as well.

The country survived a lot of things.

But it's never had a president and party who are determined on turning our democratic nation into an authoritarian one.

Even during the time of Nixon, the Republican party remained faithful to America.

Conservatives put America ahead of the president.

I don't see that happening currently in today's America.

Zip tied naked children are Trump's favorite snacks.

when the vaccine came out, Lumpers here were saying exactly what Biden said.
#37 | POSTED BY ONETRUMPER

When the vaccine came out Trump was president, Biden had nothing to say.

Democrats were getting the vaccine under Trump.

Republicans were refusing, both under Trump and under Biden.

BullBringer is here to defend Republicans giving billionaires tax cuts and complain about democrats fighting to get Americans healthcare.

This is why they didn't negotiate with Democrats,

And now the government is shut down.

Way to go MAGA.

Also, Mike Johnson still refuses to swear on the new democratic representative from Arizona.

What's the over under on how many times Mike Johnson jacked off to the Hunter Biden dick pics?

It's not punishment. It's consequences for life decisions.
Maybe they need to look for another job. Or qualify for one.

Punishment or consequence, all you got are semantics to support your hate.

There was actually a time when minimum wage paid a man enough to support his wife and family without needing a second job, or needing his wife to have a job.

But idiots like you were taught to hate minimum wage workers, which allowed the rich to take advantage of them.

ANYONE making $200,000/year can still live paycheck to paycheck?

That seems like a statistically insignificant portion of the 53% of Americans who are living paycheck to paycheck.

Also, again, why should that person be punished?

Because they're bad with investments? Because they're bad with planning for the future? They should suffer?

"In 2025, the percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck varies by survey, with figures ranging from 53% to 69%, depending on the source and definition used. For instance, PNC Bank's report indicates 67% of workers live paycheck to paycheck, while Debt.com's survey found 69% of adults report living paycheck to paycheck. A lower percentage, 53%, is reported in a LendEDU survey."

they should be paying into Social Security.

Social security is another program republicans rail against.

From calling it an entitlement to insisting it's a Ponzi scheme.

Also, based on a Google search, looks like SS pays about $1,500 a month. Which isn't much.
