What if you only use the apps?

Americans are too dumb to have this much power. It’s all size and no substance. We need to find a better way to distribute power in this world.

There’s nothing that can be done. Republicans have every bit of power there is. At least for the next two years.

No

From my viewpoint, Trump is and will be causing social hardship much more than economic hardship.

I could possibly see a benefit in preparing for a harder times socially. Further division among neighbors might be the main casualty of this administration. Social cohesion is already struggling from his first four years.

Economically, I have no confidence in Trump’s actions overall, but I am very confident that his massive ego determines his actions, and that ego is largely held up by the performance of the stock market. He will be very careful not to take any action that will rattle the markets too much. Whenever he see a negative reaction in the markets, he pulls back, claims a moral victory and moves on to the next thing.

Anecdote: My Trumpster in-laws could not stop yacking about “Biden’s high eggs prices” just last month. Haven’t heard a peep about the price of eggs since Trump came back. Now it’s just “God’s will.”

Republicans don’t care when there’s a Republican in the White House. Then it’s just God’s will.

Didn’t say he was. Just saying if he did such crazy things that even the crazies drop out, he could be removed. That’s extremely hard in the US. You’re basically stuck with the moron for four years.

And that’s the problem with the US election system. In basically any other developed democracy, there are ways to call a new special election. The four years are often the max between elections, not the minimum.

If a new leader proves unpopular, you toss them out and install a new one.

Assuming you can sell the Tesla, doesn’t that just mean that there are just as many people looking to buy a Tesla?

This is true. And right now, at least for the next two years, they have every bit of conceivable power there is. The President, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court. There are no checks and balances of Donald Trump.

America, you’re not well, are you?

It’s like the Democrats and the Democratic Party have vanished from the face of the earth since election day. Everyone and their mom are kissing the ring of the returning king. It’s pretty shameful to watch.

Yes, I’m pointing out what Democrats fail to understand about conservatives.

No, I’m the opposite. I’m saying I’ve lived among conservatives for a long time.

Nah, for Conservatives, raising a conservative voter begins at birth. I’ve lived in that culture for a very long time.

There needs to be a culture change in how Democrats and progressivea raise their children politically.

Conservatives raise their children to vote, every time. Local, state, national. Every time. They actually show up on election day and they vote even when they have to hold their noses and they don’t like their candidate. Democrats find some excuse as to why their candidate is not worthy their vote and many stay home because they are mad about something in their own party.

That’s how Republicans can win again and again even when they are a minority of the population.

Generally speaking, wealth is not built by working. It’s built by investing. It’s possible to have a relatively small salary and get relatively wealthy if you consistently live below your means and invest the surplus. Power of compounding.
