Will Arizona prosecute DJT?

We all will be affected!

Everyone paying higher prices and having a job where higher tariffs will affect you are two different things. Higher tariffs could very well mean less shipment volume, lower raises, etc.

Right…. not a good thing!

Pray to God he doesn’t win but am going to prepare if he does. Plan on stocking up on can goods and other things. Prices will surely escalate. Got cash in small bills today….

do you perceive prices to have escalated in the last four years?

[frugal-one]

Prices increased even before that. Covid caused many issues.

So, maybe prices are gonna increase?

Count on it. As an example, if tariffs of 25% are put on Mexico for food… they are either going to quit doing business here or raise prices to recoup the 25%. A no win situation for US consumers.

I can only wait to hear your perspective on the Iowa poll that doesn’t comport with your ugly view of Americans.

Do you mean the Des Moines Register's October poll which reported Harris up 47-44 over Trump, as well as a sweep of all Congressional races currently held by Republicans?

If so, that seems to be an outlier considering it requires something like an overall 13 or 14 point change over all previous polling, not to mention the Emerson College November poll showing Trump over Harris by 53-43 in the state.

Which one is more accurate? I don't know the answer to that but I think it's certainly weird to have one poll to be so different from previous and subsequent ones. I guess we'll find out in a few days.

Looks like your ugly view of Americans comported more closely with the reality than the experts fueling the hopes of the “resistance”.

It’s interesting to see some of the explanations of the activist class for the big shift Trumpward. It wasn’t the fault of the agenda on offer. It was a failure of white women to see their own best interests and to properly empathize with their sisters. It was Black and Latino men buying into white supremacy and seeking to become “model minorities”. Sort of the modern version of “The people have spoken, the bastards”.

Trump is far from acceptable to me, but I can’t help but marvel at the capacity for self-delusion of his opposition. In 2020 they elect a non-threatening grandpa type to be a “caretaker”, then pivot to selling him as FDR reborn. Then, after a massive effort to obnubilate his decrepitude, they have to replace him with a sort of synthetic candidate created by the media. So despite Trump being less popular than Harris, they shed so much credibility that they lost to perhaps the most obnoxious candidate in American history.
