They’ve been gutting our education system for decades. Most of us over here are so unbelievably fucking stupid.

  • A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it’s all talks,
  • when he talks about making the economy better, it’s all in good faith,
  • all the “necessary evil” can be undone in the next election cycle,
  • and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.

Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.

Funny how those talking points mirror the ones Russian troll factories would try to push inside their respective bubbles.

Honestly I’m not sure American businesses are very smart.

I imagine corpos do want trump, but it seems as short sighted as going after quarterly profits ahead of all else.

Ok, so you own a corporation and want those pesky “water break” regulations that are really cutting into your profits to go away. So you back trump. He tweets out “WORKERS DRINKING WATER ON THE CLOCK, SAD AND BIGLY BAD” and they decide that’s an official act and you can squeeze an extra 15 minutes out of your workers.

Meanwhile, he puts a 20% tariff on all your inputs.

I don’t support, but could at least understand, companies wanting this guy out of some rank greed. But he’s articulated positions that would be awful for most businesses. Every serious economist has looked at his tariff plan and gone “oh yea, that would destroy the economy”

Corporations are chasing after short-term profits, not long-term ones. The only job I used to have was literally bankrupted by my then boss to avoid paying taxes on his other business ventures.

And this fucker is about to win… I can’t believe this… And my state denied women abortion rights.

I hope every woman that voted for this isnt raped and forced to carry that baby.

And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.

My state is filled with idiots who won’t even vote for their own best interests

57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.

And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.

Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.

Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don’t understand how it’s so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it’s because of the major cities.

Florida in the last 20-30 years has been a representative sample of retiree vote in the country. The boomers and Gen X that retiring now to Florida are just not progressively minded. The people that moved to Florida during the pandemic were also very hostile to blue state politics which is why they moved to Florida, which was perceived as a red state during that time period. Now we’re just living in that reality after all the dust has settled.

During the last few years and specifically during 2020 covid the majority of people moving out of my blue state went to Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Texas. Everyone that I knew of that leaned that way basically moved to a swing state.

Don’t forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action.

Just over half of those who voted said yes, there’s still a lot of us who voted against this and watched in horror as the remainder proceeded to fuck us over. From those of us who voted against this: we tried our best and hate this as much as the rest of the sane world. Good luck trying to salvage things out there, it’s going to be increasingly difficult for us to act openly against this soon. If you can, put the thumbscrews to us in whatever way you can. We’ll suffer, but then again we’re already going to be.

They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.
