I am always puzzled by what they fear. My life was pretty good under Trump. I didn't vote him but that doesn't change nothing major changed under him. We didn't start any new wars. The economy was good. I still can't figure out what I am supposed to fear unless it's just irrational fear.
Did you hear about that COVID thing? And how ineptly Trump handled it?
I think he handled it very well. We had a vaccine in record time. I am very pleased with the way it was handled.
Then you're not very smart or observant.
Please tell me what I miss oh wise one living in their mothers basement.
It’s easy to throw insults but can you actually articulate your point.
If you missed it when it was happening, I doubt my recounting will move the needle (because again, you're clearly fucking dumb). I like how you throw an insult while condemning my insult. Top notch logic there brainiac. I actually live in your mother's basement. You should call sometime. She worries you've been eating lead paint chips again.
I did quite well under Trump. So no I don’t get the fear and you can’t articulate how Trump hurt you. So I guess we will leave it at that.
Well that's certainly all that matters. 🙄
How were you suffering under Trump? My taxes went up significantly under Trump. Otherwise, everything else was fine.
and yes, that certainly doesn't matter. Life isn't a team sport. I am responsible for the success of my family and myself.
.... And fuck everyone else.
Yeah yeah, I'm familiar. You sound like a proper conservative.
Well if they can’t articulate how they were personally harmed by Trump then yeah. People give the president too much blame or credit for things. Trump raised my taxes like crazy but otherwise I have no complaints
While I say Biden created the inflation. Truth is he played a minor role it. If trump wins again. Not much will change. If Biden stays. Not much will change. Congress is the one with the power to change things and they haven’t done shit in years
If Do you honestly think Trump hand anything to do with the vaccine?
Yes. Only an idiot would think otherwise. He started project warp speed to make sure resources were dedicated to it. It was all over the news.
Rofl! Pfizer launched Project Lightspeed you dolt.

It’s called warp speed.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_SpeedAnd it wasn’t just Pfizer. lol. Keep trolling. Have a good day
Your boy was suggesting people inject disinfectants. He was the worst thing that could happen during a pandemic.
He did not such thing lol. And he’s not my boy. I didn’t vote for him.
I’ll add, that your boy had nothing to do with the creation of Warp speed either. It was members of his administration working with other non governmental organizations across the world. All that fat piece of shit had to do was sign a paper.
Objectively incorrect.
The supreme Court swung to the right and roe v Wade was overturned, for one major thing. There have been rumblings of attacking same sex marriage, too.
Also there was a coup attempt.
I’m glad scotus went to the right. Finally someone to push Congress to do their jobs.
That's not really how this works in theory or practice, and many people will suffer needlessly in the interim.
That’s exactly how it works in theory. The court for to long as been creating laws. That’s not their job. They’ve been working around congress not doing their job. Go read what rbj said about roe. It should have never been decided the way it was and I support abortion.
What the court has been doing is pushing back on Congress. Now as voters, we need to push back on the people we elect.
Most people are partisan hacks and don’t really understand how the system should work. They just hear roe was overturned but never actually read the decision. They just listen to their echo chamber for how they should feel.
If we want America to get better. We need people to do their jobs and congress had 50 years to make a law and they didn’t.
You know how the economy sucks now? That’s the aftershock of what Trump did.
We all called it a bad idea then to lower interest rates to zero and then we had a global pandemic. What do you do about a recession when you can’t lower interest rates?
Also: Muslim bans, the rise of racists and Nazis in America, 1mil dead from a pandemic because the Motherfucker couldn’t say “wear a mask”, leaking secrets to Russia and god knows who else, hoarding PPE and then reselling it to states, plus the guy is a socially backwards embarrassing blowhard boomer idiot. He doesn’t know how shit works and is yes-men sycophants are in his ear with their own ulterior motives when they’re not busy sucking him off.
I’ll take sleepy joe over that any day of the week.
All the tds cracks me. We have lower inflation under Trump and overall the Country was running fine. I didn’t vote for the guy but you just showed it’s fear for fear
LOL. You clearly did.
Nope, I did not. Didn't vote in 2016 but thanks for trying to argue about something you have no clue about. I think it explains why you can't articulate how Trump hurt you.
