Dems need to run with this f’n hard and shout it from the rooftops just as Trump/GOP/media did during the election.

Richest country in the world and half of the population can’t afford food because of Trump and the GOP.

While so many are starving, Elon Musk is trying to become a trillionaire and Trump is squeezing America for all it’s worth to enrich himself.

it’s hard to shake the feeling that struggling isn’t just a headline for many of us it’s reality. When so many households can’t afford basics despite working hard it really makes you question whether the idea of middle class comfort still exists

One of the many consequences of putting a Convicted Criminal in Charge.
CCCT tells you that ‚affordability‘ is a new concept which is really nothing more than a Democrat Hoax… Pay no attention to the ever growing foodbank lines!
Orwell just got the date wrong.

Any day now, Trump is going to start calling his tariffs The Biden Tariffs and praising himself for how he is helping Americans overcome their effects.

I hope they show it at the polls in November.

Last month saw the biggest jump in grocery prices in almost three years.

Vote MAGA out in 2026 midterms…pass it on.

If they just gave up their lavish pencil lifestyle they could afford food, duh.

didnt y’all get the memo? Prices are going down and affordability is a democrat con job, a hoax.

They really should have voted. It was not a difficult call. One was an established milquetoast run of the mill politician, the other is senile, racist, socialite that rapes children. All us Americans are getting what we deserve.

It’s okay. You can have like one pencil though.

I know I am. I went to the store a couple days ago and was shocked at how freaking expensive everything has gotten. It’s getting worse every day.

It’s cuzza how it’s his fault.

They’re literally doing exactly what they said they’d do, everyone warned you fucking people. At this point as miserable and painful as it is, I think it sadly the only way people dumb enough to have voted for this is to learn the hard way. All the while those who didn’t suffer the collateral damage. It’s a disgrace.

I live in New York City, which granted is one of the most expensive places on the planet however, a pound of beef one can of beans and some mixed greens just cost me $20. How in the world is it even affordable to cook for yourself anymore?

I just listened to Dave Ramsey tell some woman that based solely on her sharing that her and her husband have a $1500 mortgage, there’s no way their total $75k (presumably before taxes) household income isn’t enough for them to not just get by, but to also build significant savings. “There must be money going somewhere else.”
Yeah, no shit, Dave. Taxes, utilities, insurance, vehicle fuel and maintenance, and food, and they’re all at record highs. Never mind doing something enjoyable for the sake of it, from time to time.
It’s fucking la la land out there for rich folks, clearly.

Dont worry! When you go through the grocery checkout, just close your eyes and click your heels „Wizard of Oz“-style while chanting „affordability is a democrat hoax“ over and over 😉

The other MAGA half will gleefully watch their financial livelihood dwindle at light speed because they love the hatred he inspires towards POC, immigrants, women and the lgbtq.

Have they tried blaming Biden and then falling asleep during meeting?
Spacebotzero on
They are blaming the right person.
I hope….I really do hope …trump and his administration meet something called „accountability“ for the first time in their lives, soon.

If they voted for the shit stain, then this is good. MAYBE they will be less apt to vote for a super obvious demagogue. I won’t hold my breath.
If they didn’t vote for him, I already work as much as I can with food distribution and human needs. I wish I could make it better for all of you.
LingonberryHot8521 on
Well it is his fault. He took a booming economy where we were just beginning to see the benefits of, and wrecked it within a few months. It takes no time to break something but a LONG time to build or rebuild something.
So it’s also the fault of people with short attention spans and willful ignorance who decided that the guy who crashed the economy four years prior was going to be the guy to NOT crash it again.

And they’re still going to vote GOP

Trump is selling out America as he gets more rich, this is true. But what I’m saying is he would’ve sold us out for free, too. He would’ve sold out America purely out of spite.
He hates us. And he’s a sell-out himself. He sold his soul a long time ago. He is a thing with no soul that is full of hate. You can say he is a container of hate. A container of demons. Some thing that is less than empty. Less than nothing. Negative. Deep underground. A spiritual void. A black-hole of regression.

Forgot the last part. „They will still vote republican.“
Trump to MAGA, “Relax guys” 😂
Should also blame every congressional republican since they went along with everything
But if it’s not the half that voted for him, who cares.
The 77 million who voted for this should just cut back.
Totally can afford basic food, cause we decided heating oil is not a necessity. Never knew how cold a house can get.
Good times.
The Gilded Age part two
They exploit capitalism, they exploit democracy, they exploit media, they exploit justice, they exploit and drain resources.
I can’t believe we allow amoral, apathetic, money hungry, cum crazed and porn sick VCs rule countries.
Fuck them all. And even more harshly, the people behind the businesses and financial institutions that stay silent and play in our faces.
Isn’t interesting that as the “minor” affordability problem grows so does the occurrence of political violence.
People can’t afford to do anything but look at BGE bills, or brain-rot.
The economy is in a Trump Slump, and it definitely has nothing to do with the Trump Import Taxes making everything significantly more expensive.
Income inequality is worse now than in pre-revolution France.
Just saying.
Half admitted it
