    Trump inherited a very healthy economy from Biden

    :-/ He inherited a big stock number from Biden.

    But the US economy has been losing steam since the turn of the century. First Enron/Worldcomm, then the Great Recession, then COVID… critical components of the industrial and service sector in the US have been falling apart for decades. Energy, housing, health care, manufacturing, education, agriculture, technology, news media… we’ve been watching them consolidate ownership and corrode in quality well before Trump or Biden.

    It’s so extremely moronic that people voted for Trump

    They’ve been brain blasted with stupid by mass media that’s screamed fascist ideology every year of their lives. Trump is a symptom of a public that’s been told to venerate wealth and celebrity. Democrats nominating an invalid who dropped out after the first debate certainly didn’t help, either.

    It’s extremely moronic that the election system has been fully captured by crooks and frauds. But the only response ever seems to be “You should have voted for the other guy.”

      Goddammit I’m tired of people equating the stock market, or even gdp with ‘the economy’.
