Can we just stop using the word “economy” for the income of the billionaire class?
This article is spot on. Saying the economy is booming when it’s only benefiting the small fractionthose who have the money to buy into it, leaves a good chunk of the population frustrated and wanting a huge change.
And the change with trump is “get the billionaires some more billions, lol”
America is full of idiots. So yes they might not get it but they probably do think trump will do something good. Or they just want worse for the minority. Idk i dont understand all this either.
Or they just want worse for the minority.
The truth that most people know, but don’t want to say out loud.
As a disappointed American, you are so right. Im sorry for not voting even if i think it wouldn’t have mattered, if all non voters stood up and voted we could have turned the whole country blue. I personally feel responsible for trump and i hate it
Why did you not vote?
Liberal in a very red state. Plus fear of being a known Democrat sounds rather dangerous now a days.
Do you think people are going to watch you vote? I’m quite curious.
Hopefully this is a lesson for you to always vote in future elections.
If there are any…
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.

Totally. They’re smart enough to know they’re getting screwed, but then they do the worst possible thing to lessen the screw.
Unfortunately most people don’t think beyond swapping to the other guy when things are bad under the current one

It’s as if the sheep decided, “f these boring shepherds, let’s go party with these wolves.”
ruZZia, China, Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the most important Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, are the reasons he won. Let’s quit pretending, that without all of the dirty money and influence from foreign countries, this idiot would have won.
Except that even with these things in place, they could have won, except that 15m voters chose to stay home. Guess which bloc?
Not that it makes things better but that number is going to be bunches less than 15 million when everything is said and done. Trump is sitting about a 1 million down from his 2020 vote total and Harris is obviously like 11 million down from Biden’s 2020 total but California alone still has almost 7 million votes left to count last I looked and there’s still quite a few votes left to count across the rest of the states.
Why did everyone suddenly start misspelling Russia?
Shhh don’t wake the bots
So they think this will avoid bots astroturfing? I’m pretty sure they could update their filters in seconds to account for that, if so.
They tag some of their military assets with ‘Z’ for battlefield identification
Because the Russians liked the movie world war z or what? Also I’m still confused why people on Lemmy would adopt that spelling regardless
Z was being used in ruZZia as a symbol to show support for the invasion. IIRC Z was used by a certain command in that area on tanks and trucks.
People started spelling “Russia” as “ruZZia” to relate it to the Nazi SS and using Z to do so to show distane for the war. I write it with lower case r out of disrespect 🤷
Thank you for being the first to actually explain this!
They needed a symbol to spray paint on their tanks to easily differentiate them. Z is simple and it’s not a a Cyrillic letter.
Let’s quit pretending, that without all of the dirty money and influence from foreign countries, this idiot would have won.
I think you’re wrong here, as least on the money side of things. Harris out-fundraised Trump 3 to 1, taking in almost a billion dollars this cycle. Democrats didn’t lose because of dirty money — they had more than enough of their own to compete.
You could be right, but we’ll never know what the actual turn out would have been without interference.
In my opinion, it’s game over for justice and the environment
Attempt at ripping his shirt off. It was just sad.
Because people are fucking stupid.
Did the struggling half all vote for Trump? It appears that the breakdown was more split along ethnic, gender and religious lines, and far less economic ones.
I agree with your about the religious and economic demographics, but…
Ethnic? From what I’ve seen, the only ethnic demographic that wasn’t split roughly 50/50 was the black demographic. [correction: Native Americans voted for Trump 2 to 1]
Gender? At least 45% of voters from each gender voted for Trump.
