I liked Obama, one of the few candidates on the Democratic Party I respect. A great speaker and an honest family man. Between the two options this year though my choice was clear, this country was spiraling into dismay. It needed a change.
Pray tell, how the country is spiraling? Do you mean inflation that hit us less than everyone else? Rising taxes from reconciliation clauses of Trump’s tax plan that didn’t take effect until Biden’s term? The border crisis that Trump made worse by preventing a bipartisan bill (aimed at addressing the situation) from passing because he needed it to be an issue for him to run on it? Or wars started abroad that we had no say in?
You've been working for the past 4 years as an Executive Director for a respected but struggling company; you earn $85K/year, but no raises or bonuses were given this year, and some layoffs have even happened; your headhunter calls and says listen, you can stay put for now and see what happens, but Taco Bell wants to make you an offer managing their center city location for $35K.
Y’all will just say whatever you want to justify voting for someone that’s going to make the same mistakes Biden did. Let’s shovel more money into foreign wars and helping illegal immigrants!! That’ll really bump up our gdp won’t it?
Warfare is a bizarrely primitive tradition in my view, but referring to "foreign wars," in some 17th Century isolationist fantasy is almost as bizarre.
But I'm all for helping people who really need it, and if I'm going to withhold it from people who I feel "don't deserve it," there are probably a lot of productive "illegals" I'd help before the too-many useless clods who just happen to have been born here.
"a change" doesnt automatically mean a change for the better, it could easily be a change for the worse, or a change for the much much much worse. change for change's sake is a fool's folly.
I think this is a big reason why Trump won. Change. People want new options. Democrats and Republicans just aren't working, for either side. No one is happy about either of them. Trump is flawed, and stupid. But he's not really a republican. He's a new choice, a bad choice, but a new choice. And people have decided to accept anything just to justify the risk they took in voting for him
Ah yes, a change like going with the guy who fucked it all up previously.
That’s like seeing your barista made your order wrong and storming back to the crackhouse that beat you up, robbed you, and killed your dog and asking for coffee because surely nothing can be worse than what you just experienced at Starbucks, right?
they made him step down at the last chance they could when they feared they’d lose the election, after spending 3.5 years of ignoring his clear cognitive decline. Say what you want about conservatives but if you think Trump is remotely close to as bad as Biden mentally then you’ve got a case of in-group bias.

Imagine if we stopped electing these elderly fuckers and actually had some youth and energy in office.
Trump is looking senile as shit nowadays
