Sorry, but You Had to Be an Idiot to Believe Trump Could Lower Prices | The president’s disastrous affordability rally merely reraises the question: How could anyone have fallen for his campaign promises in the first place?

You mean how did a group of adults who have lived on this planet long enough to see trump fail 60 businesses, then let faux news tell them how good he is at business, buy the bull shit, elect him, watch him fuck it up round one, watch faux news lose a lawsuit where there defense was “no reasonable person would deem these statements to be fact”, continue to watch faux news and believe everything said as truth, elect trump a second time, and believe that he was going to do something different than what he’s done his whole life (being lie cheat and steal while piloting the ship directly into the iceberg).
Speaking of the education system…..
You’d have to be either an idiot or a scam artist to be a republican! That’s the only two choices there are.
The more grandpedo shits on his base, the more they try to appease him. Daddy is mad. We did something naughty. Love us. Daddy. Love us. It’s a sick relationship with a monster.
Nothing about that election made much sense.
I thought Trump’s tarrif plan was an Onion article at first.
Stupid people
They just hate libs for some stupid reason
I hope Trump is out of office before he bankrupts the United States. If you had to be an idiot to believe Trump doesn’t say much about the Republicans in Congress who put no boundaries on Trump’s actions. The Republicans are just as stupid as Trump.
So much of what is happening can be traced back to the concept of faith. Almost all religious affiliated people are taught very explicitly not to question, but to have faith. In fact, to question in the first place is to essentially choose the worldly (bad) path versus the divine (good) path. Now, not all religiously affiliated people will believe that, but I know from first-hand experience that a huge number do. There is no rationalizing or explaining things to them because what you’re asking them to do is to betray their faith. Here, their faith lies in a monster, but they believe whole-heartedly that he was sent by god, so while he is vile in every way, to question trump is to question god. And if you’re that far down the rabbit hole, you’re not going to be doing that.
It was never about facts and policies. Tribalism straight and simple. The democrats will take a sprinkling of policy on top, but modern republicans cannot cannot be persuaded to vote another way.
This misunderstanding has lost the democrats so many elections.
They didn’t fall for it, they didn’t even hear his campaign promises. They are blind, deaf and dumb when it comes to Trump. They don’t listen they just follow along. But they definitely did hear him say “Democrat hoax”. ☺️ Fucking morons 😆
This is a very significant question. For example, tariffs; how could anyone believe they are good for the country? They’re a substantial tax on consumers. That includes everyone, but hits especially hard in the middle and lower classes. Duh. Just look it up on Google. Have we become so mentally lazy that we’re being led around by the noses by an imbecile like tRump? If so, we’re screwed for sure. I pray we can restart our mental faculties before it is too late.
It was never about the prices of products. It was about the cruelty towards lgbtq abd non-white communities. That’s why of those who voted, 60% of white men and 53% of white women voted for the racist, fascist, sexist pedophile on November 5th, 2024.
They wanted to believe anything he said. Knowing the whole time it was BS. None of them thought further then their basest instincts to see others suffer. It’s sick and now most of them are suffering the same fate and soon it will be everyone. For a long time I just made fun of MAGA and I still do.
I want a reporter to ask him the following g on camera: “Mr Trump, I know you were born into a wealthy family, but have you ever had to budget and decide which utility bills don’t get paid to afford food and rent for your family?”
You had to be an idiot to vote for MAGA. Fixed it for ya.
Hint: the answer to the question in the title of the post is in the title of the post.
There’s a great deal of racist hate in America.
I’m glad I grew up in the 70’s. My school was half black. I’m glad I grew up that way. I had many good friends there
Trump himself said: “Smart people don’t like me”.
It’s a cult… the first thing cult members surrender is reason
No working brain cells?
Magical thinking. MAGA is obsessed with their own authority because their sky daddy demands obedience, and promises blessings. They think that God is on their side and will magically fix things when they perform enough loyalty rituals.
More than that, you had to be an idiot to think he would try or even give a fuck.
99.999% of all people who voted for trump are marks. The rest are billionaires.
Republicans are STUPID. Like comic-book level stupid. And they actively work to make sure their kids are even less intelligent than they are. Fuck them all.
Stupid people walk among us.
People who voted for Trump weren’t focused on inflation. They were too focused on their hate to care about that.
Gas prices dropped another 10 cents a gallon today in NY to
$2.85
