As I said, many think he's good, and separate to that, some think he's a lesser evil.If they are voting for him because they think he is a good man then this isn't a "lesser of two evils" situation. This isn't them voting for him because he seems like the better of the two, it's them voting for him because they like him and think good of him.
Yeah, in part. But not everything. But this is focusing on the faults of others while passing ours under the rug. While I may made it look like Trump admin did nothing wrong (he did), at least I'm not voting for him. And I know I hate the guy, I know myself better than you do.The example you used was literally partly Trump's fault. Certain things that would go on to happen during Bidens presidency happened in part due to the things that the Trump administration had done prior. I'm not blaming everything on his administration but to ignore the impact that the previous administration had is idiotic.
So everything I said about his person is nullified by trying to understand why some people may think he's better? If the "lesser evil" thing is an excuse and you want me to go full black or full white just tell me and we're done.you seem to really have a hard-on for him.
This doesn't address inflation and buying power. Why do I care if the US is rich if the people can't afford things anyway? Those problems spiked until recently. The thing never was this bad for Americans and COVID enough doesn't explain THAT much of a spike. People are still struggling even more than previously.Also, part of why the economy wasn't as bad back then was because there was no lockdown. The COVID-19 lockdown didn't start until closer to the end of his presidency. Along with that, the economy actually recovered under the Biden administration.
By 2023, the GDP was back to where it would have been if the pandemic had never happened.
During all this time you've been implying that the only reason to vote Trump is to be white. And if not, it really looked so.When did I say "all" exactly? The vast majority of non-white people do not think that Trump was better and the person who I was responding to isn't even POC.
But I said most, not all. Therefore some cases don't deny that people mainly vote in their benefit. I only said it happened since ever, that always happened. And even the most ignorant, culty right people have usually something to win from their politics that is not merely religious.People don't always vote for what seems to benefit their country either. For example, the most avid Trump supporters vote for him because they view him as basically being a messiah, not because they think his views and policies are going to be beneficial for the country.
Yes they'd be if they come. When they settle in that land it will affect them yet they wish to proceed. There are cases of the groups not agreeing with your point. I know about the same case but with already Americans. But it doesn't matter.Also, how does your family wishing they could live in the US have to do with anything? Wanting to escape somewhere with worse conditions for somewhere with better conditions, even if they aren't the best, has nothing to do with anything that's being talked about. Your family are not the ones that going to be impacted the most by whoever gets elected in the US.
All I was saying is that other people who aren't even me have their own angle and reasons to think the way they do. The "good side" is not a magic bullet. The "best side" doesn't even make it actually worth voting it if it isn't notably better or they don't lie (which there's no way to tell). This stupid approach of vowing to something you know it's trash in the first place, just because it may be a little little less bad than the other and passing the other sides as either ideologically possessed of hedonists who don't give a shit about anything but themselves, not only has a history of doing absolutely NOTHING, since the very same problems have been snowballing regardless of your favorite ice-cream favor in form of elected president, but also created a brutal problem of division, radicalization, and mental health harm as clearly seen by OP.
Since you seem willing to believe I'm pro-Trump, I just told before I was horrorized when he got elected. The only reason I'm even writing all this is because the political bar has been pushed to low it doesn't even exist anymore.
