***Official Political Discussion Thread***

Majority of Today's male youth is on that right wing alpha steez. I hear it and see it every day. Even in poverty stricken hoods the vibe with minority male youth is trump
This makes me wonder if easy access to porn and echochambers has created a lot of younger red pill and incel males who don't really interact with many women.
 
Got my first bit of good news from this mess. Its small but its something.

Little backstory: My wife has a good friend who is pretty liberal, a minority, and is a solid 8-9. Just a very good looking woman and has a good career. Couple years back she started dating and married this absolute meathead chud. Typical maga/rogan bro and no one ever knew what she saw in him. They recently moved to a red state so he could be a truck driver. Dude pretty much voted solely on immigration and this caused tension for a while leading up to the election.

Fast forward to tonight, he went home after drinking with his bros. She told him she's getting her tubes tied and he said no. She asked him if he'd raise the baby if she got raped and dude had no idea what she was even talking about. Big fight ensued and now she has a plane ticket tomorrow morning to come stay at our house and she's filing for divorce.

Dude threw away his marriage to someone way, way out of his league cause he was scared of immigrants while living in a suburb 1500 miles from the border.

Sorry for the rant but probably the first time I smiled since yesterday.
Gotta own the libs, even if it means ruining your marriage lol
 
How many jobs and projects did Biden's infrastructure bill produce or projected to?

Projected to create 1.5 million jobs per year for the next 10 years.

In 2023, nine megaprojects received grants:


  • $250 million to improve the Brent Spence Bridge over the Ohio River between Cincinnati and Kentucky
  • $292 million to help complete the final section of concrete casing for the new Hudson River Tunnel outside New York City
  • $78 million for the Roosevelt Boulevard Multimodal Project in Philadelphia
  • $150 million to replace the I-10 Calcasieu River Bridge in Lake Charles, Louisiana
  • $110 million to replace the Alligator River Bridge in North Carolina that will modernize travel to the Outer Banks
  • $60 million to improve the I-10 Freight Corridor in Mississippi

💯 all this. Online video games and the ease to access them exacerbated this. I saw the first signs in 2009ish when I coached high schoolers. I was like so what do y’all do after school? Oh we hop on Xbox and play COD. I’m like for real that’s it? Y’all ain’t going to chill somewhere after school to meet people and stuff? They were like no. I was in shock. And in retrospect I wasn’t that much older than these kids. Maybe 7 years older.
 
Watch This, its a bit old, from 45's first term but watch it anyways.I think it speaks to the mentality of the non-melanated Trump supporters, at least... half of them.

I mean a lot of white people feel this way from the boomers and gen X. I hear it first hand from those generations
 
Personally, I couldn’t care less if the president is racist or not as long as he’s not harming anyone. There’s plenty of people I hate but I leave them alone unless we absolutely need to interact on a transactional basis.

Let’s pretend Trump is one of those rare bigoted people that doesn’t act on his views and lets others do what they want.

I keep seeing more of the “Democrats are out of touch about the economy.” I 100% agree with this point-people keep talking about how the economy is so strong, but everything is expensive while jobs have barely increased wages to meet those costs.

However, I want to know a)what concrete policy Trump offers that will fix the cost of living for the average American and b)how it’s superior to what Democrats had to offer.

I swear, if someone can give me something other than “Biden’s economy is the worst so why not try with Trump” or “MAGAAA!!! Cry Libs!!” I’ll gladly admit that Trump is a superior choice in this aspect.

All I’m asking for is a clear explanation of his beneficial policies and plans and why they will save the middle class. I hate eating my daily vegetables with a passion but I don’t go and try to eat dog @$&$ just to see if something different will fill me up, so please don’t give me that “what have we got to lose” nonsense from 2016 again.

+podcasts, social media idols, etc.
+kids in sports that have a bad culture (example: hockey can be a toxic environment)

Colleague said her husband would've voted Trump/supports Trump cause it would help his work. Pretty low level thinking imo that he would support Trump... and then wait to see if his daughters get declined medical care they need cause certain medical procedures are illegal.

The metrics used to measure the economy usually don't reflect that of individual households. The whole of our economy is fine, people are complaining but continue to keep spending. Prices and costs are still recovering from the impact of Covid-19 and the conflicts that have taken place since. Costs for materials, supply chain disruptions, labor, and etc. Large corporations have also increased prices and used Covid-19, inflation, war as an excuse to increase prices. We the consumers pay the costs that they incur at the prices they set. Corporations are making more money than ever, a long with boosting the pockets of executives which is adding to the huge income inequality we face in our country and the world.

The overall metrics look good, but in reality there many internal and external factors that affect the economy and the perception of it. Things like housing costs, healthcare, food costs all make people think the economy is not doing well a long with stagnant wages. The Fed have been tackling inflation with monetary policies to cool down our over spending, its working but it takes time, people want it NOW. The other thing we can do is hold corporations more accountable for how they set wages and protecting the rights of workers and stand with them...more regulation on corporations, but thats not the Republican way and won't be for the next 4 years since they favor de-regulation.

Build more houses, target our spending, hold corporations more accountable the list goes on...
 
I can only think of these as the positives for the fiasco that just happened
- he cant run ever again
- he will tank this country and create even worse turmoil with other nations that WE all learn not to F around and Find out
- the middle and working class who voted for the criminal and not the prosecutor will taste the high costs that his presidency will bring; just like the first time
- he cant run ever again.
