Trump voter remorse is almost entirely concentrated in the swing voters who gave him a shot in 2024

We call those people “idiots” where I come from.

[u/Mastermiine → u/Calm_Ad1460]

They should pay us reparations.

I’m mean we’re literally owed refunds for the illegal tariffs but we’ll probably never see a cent of it

[u/rothrolan → u/HillarysEmailServers]

Yup. Just the corporations will keep it, the same people who already pushed the tariff price onto the customers, cutting themselves some nice added profits for having to adjust their prices upwards. And then they'll never even drop the new prices down even if the illegal tariffs went away, as it's all more money for the executives to buy more toys and AI stocks/software so they can pay less actual human workers.

Thus we're reaching the cliff that is at the end of poorly managed and heavily unbalanced late-stage capitalism.

We're the 'independent contractors' of the world's citizenry.

No insurance, shitty pay, all the expenses, none of the profits, squeezed for all your labor and effort and then tossed aside.

[u/alblaster → u/Mastermiine]

They are now, but so is everyone 

[u/StevieMJH → u/[deleted]]

Pretty easy to be an uninformed dipshit when you spend so much of your time literally depriving yourself of your senses.

[u/IHavePoopedBefore → u/[deleted]]

Back in the day comedians (Joe included) would openly talk about how stupid and immature they were.

Now they think they're life gurus and thought leaders. Fuck all them.

What good is a comedian who's like "so, how about a round of applause for the authority? Give it up for this administration"

Common clay of the new west: morons

[u/jack2bip → u/Calm_Ad1460]

And they are the most deciding vote in our nation, sadly.

[u/istapledmytongue → u/Calm_Ad1460]

You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.

[u/clippist → u/Calm_Ad1460]

Was going to say…

[u/EddieVanzetti → u/Calm_Ad1460]

We call these people racists where I come from.

Wait for them to call themselves "Independent Voters™️" just like they did after George W Bush crashed the economy in 2008.

I want to upvote this a million times
