“The president single-handedly wiped out Americans’ retirement savings overnight and subjected businesses to intense whiplash with his increasingly erratic and chaotic policies that continue to drive consumer and business uncertainty.”

    If this is what it takes for republicans to never hold even so much as a broken toilet seat, well it sure does suck harder’n a black fucking hole… but it seems this is how we have to learn.

      I wouldn’t bet on Republicans learning a goddamn thing. They’ve had plenty of time and examples and theyre still fucking stupid, obviously given the situation we’re in.

      Best you can hope is nonvoters realize they’ve been idiots and decide to not be idiots anymore.

      Y’all vote in a republican whenever you’re ready to crash the economy and lose your property to the profiteers buying it for pennies. It’s really something, how it’s like clockwork.

        By “y’all”, are you referring to every person that voted this election, or only those that didn’t vote Harris? Y’all seem to be of the impression that Americans is a monolith, and y’all ought to know better than that.

          They’re talking about how the country voted in Trump. Again.

          Most people share some responsibility for it. Some more than others of course.

          The vast majority of Americans allowed for this by either voting for Trump or refraining from voting at all. There is certainly some global animosity towards the American voting public, though little has been said so far, as we wait to see if the people have any sway over the global recession their choice may cause.

          Most of us have come to realize that the American government does not care about the world, which is fine. But this is the first time I’ve seen ordinary people around the world wish economic pain upon the American people, mostly because they know it’s the only reason that their government will change course.

          At no point in my lifetime has America’s allies wished pain upon its people. It’s precedent setting and these attitudes are not going to go away overnight. Trust is a very hard to rebuild.

          America’s allies invoked Article 5 of the NATO agreement after the attack on September 11th, 2001. Our countrymen then put their lives on the line (some of whom died) for several questionable American led military incursions.

          This is a betrayal that likely won’t be forgotten in either of our lifetimes. Anyone who thinks that the US can just vote in a democrat in 2028 and everything will go back to normal is kidding themselves.
