What a message to try and win a tight race on. They have completely given up on optimism, it’s only fear and death to their enemies.
Yep, it will be temporarily hard for all of us in the camps. Do you think it will be gas again this time around? Probably, like the last time, it will be bullets until the raw anger subsides. Then efficiency experts will be called in and determine that gas is more cost effective.
“Temporary hardship” for thee, but not for me
Doesnt really matter who is elected, tough times are on the horizon. The global financial fragmentation that has occurred since covid, war in Ukraine, and spreading wars throughout the middle East make it a certainty. Good luck everybody.
You mean since the 1970s. We’ve been off the tracks ever since we turned USD into a fiat currency.
I agree that it mostly doesn’t matter who the president is because no matter what this train is coming to an end.
With that said Trump is a massive piece of shit and we don’t need to turn a bad situation into a considerably worse situation.
There isn’t a reality where electing Trump is good for the common person.

Information for HuffPost:
Wiki: reliable - A 2020 RfC found HuffPost staff writers fairly reliable for factual reporting on non-political topics, but notes that they may give prominence to topics that support their political bias and less prominence to, or omit, things that contradict it. HuffPost’s reliability has increased since 2012; articles before 2012 are less reliable and should be treated with more caution. HuffPost uses clickbait headlines to attract attention to its articles, thus the body text of any HuffPost article is considered more reliable than its headline. See also: HuffPost (politics), HuffPost contributors.
Wiki: mixed - In the 2020 RfC, there was no consensus on HuffPost staff writers’ reliability for political topics. The community considers HuffPost openly biased on American politics. There is no consensus on its reliability for international politics. See also: HuffPost (excluding politics), HuffPost contributors.
Wiki: unreliable - Until 2018, the U.S. edition of HuffPost published content written by contributors with near-zero editorial oversight. These contributors generally did not have a reputation for fact-checking, and most editors consider them highly variable in quality. Editors show consensus for treating HuffPost contributor articles as self-published sources, unless the article was written by a subject-matter expert. In 2018, HuffPost discontinued its contributor platform, but old contributor articles are still online. Check the byline to determine whether an article is written by a staff member or a “Contributor” (also referred to as an “Editorial Partner”).

We’ve been experiencing ‘temporary hardship’ since 1982.
That’s the year I was born.
My bad.
Nah he meant 1981, rest in piss Reagan.
I meant 1982 when Reagan’s first experiment with trickle down economics (cutting taxes for the rich) went into effect.
Well sure. You think dissidents silence themselves voluntarily?
All hardship is temporary. Even if it destroys the USA
Headline is true, he will. He will also bring permanent hardship. And for some, final hardship. Like when the mass deportations turn into mass executions.
Temporary only if you’re a rich, white, cishet man
Not at all if you’re rich, and not temporary even for the rest.
Hey now, it’s still temporary. The sweet release if death exists, after all
Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make
Whereas Socialism, and even capitalism in a more grudging way, have said to people ‘I offer you a good time,’ Hitler has said to them ‘I offer you struggle, danger and death,’ and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet. Perhaps later on they will get sick of it and change their minds, as at the end of the last war. After a few years of slaughter and starvation ‘Greatest happiness of the greatest number’ is a good slogan, but at this moment ‘Better an end with horror than a horror without end’ is a winner. Now that we are fighting against the man who coined it, we ought not to underrate its emotional appeal.
From George Orwell’s 1940 review of Mein Kampf.

Goddamn.
Orwell goes hard. It’s unfortunate that he’s known for two books that people pretend they read in high school because their English teacher made them.
“Temporary”
“Temporary difficulties” last his entire term and then he blames the Democrats, Haitians and Puerto Ricans
