    People forget after 4 years. It’s not like Trump’s first administration was great for anyone but the people that got the giant tax cuts.

      Wasn’t as painful for the general population as this. He is more destructive in ways that directly affect the majority this time. He can’t coast off the democratic economy with these moves. Republicans actually care when things affect them.

          And Republicans thought that was nothing. Their pocket books are affected now. I’m not agreeing with their logic, I am going off the grumblings I am seeing now versus then. I live in a very red area.

      Like people forgot the Great Depression? It’s possible you’re underestimating how bad this collapse will be.

      I was born in 1970, and some of the adults around when I was a kid still lived like at any day the rug could be pulled out from under them.

      People were voting against Dems for inflation that was largely from summer of 2022. Bear markets/recessions usually last 15 months.

      If Trump keeps this stupid shit up for more than a week, the Republicans will have a bloodbath. Look no further than the elections of 1890.

      It wasn’t even the tax cuts i feel like those covid checks with his name on them really sealed the deal.

        They helped a lot. Biden really should’ve put his name on the bigger checks he sent
