Also "the economy" is not a real, material thing but a discursive object which can be tailored to whatever needs of the person deploying it. That'd probably be the best argument against Trump's economy being objectively "good."

LOL @ “debating” a Trump supporter.

Limiting the spread of infectious diseases by listening to scientific experts, and modeling appropriate behavior, rather than politicizing a pandemic and denying its growing danger.

Lol at the economy being good when shutting down for 2 weeks puts long standing community businesses out for good. And lol at the economy being good when people can’t sustain a decent living when they don’t work for 2-4 weeks.


It’s all a fucking farce.

What's the argument for pre-pandemic economy, though?

Strat just gave it to you bub.

To put it two ways:

It’s a long slow climb to the middle. Nobody is successful. It’s all for the ultra rich. And they’re all pedophiles.

He was sayinghow it was a big achievement of his to bring jobs back to the US. Does this hold any water or is he misinformed?

This is all pre-pandemic. None of it illustrates a presidency that has been “great” for the economy. Maybe one that’s been “fine.”

So an economy that was doing OK + pro-life + church loves him! = better than baby-murdering alternative.



Probably best not to even try.

You’re all aware now that your media is comprised and has an agenda.

The rest of the entire world has been shouting for years that Israel is carrying out a genocide.
I’ve been called an anti Semite countless times on this board for even bringing it up.
Maybe now, finally people on rm will actually look it up and wake the fuck up.

At this point, anyone still supporting Trump is beyond the reach of rational thought. Best to avoid politics and answer with "Oh, OK," if he decides to hit you with his opinions.

Try this: a strong economy requires a healthy functioning workforce; and that workforce requires science-based safeguards to make sure that they remain healthy and functioning. And this president has good at those safeguards and basically every opportunity, and he completely owns this tanked economy.

Automation will take things from here

Last time he was talking about it, I replied "but we can all agree that personality-wise, he's an unstable maniac at best, right?" and we all laughed and said "oh yeah"

...

Josh likes his policies, not the man. Which is weird because you just know Trump has been jerked off during a massage. Also, I haven't heard Trump articulate one single policy goal for his second term other than tearing down Obamacare I guess. Nevermind that after 4 years nobody has any clue what his much better healthcare plan would even be.

Unfortunately the current insanity and divisiveness of the left is only making the forecast look worse and empowering Trump supporters. It's fucking ridiculous these are our two options.

Trump is going to lose
