Do not be conformed to this world, be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Crazy to see "free-market conservatives" tell anxious young people to shut up and accept double-digit inflation, instead of taking the opportunity to explain that inflation is a direct result of bad government policy.
It's perfectly fine to notice that burritos shouldn't be $20.
Let me get this straight.
An illegal comes here, by some miracle gets caught, and by another miracle a judge lets us deport him. And we actually do it.
Then he comes here illegally AGAIN, and we have to wait around for a judge to REINSTATE his deportation. Again.
Insanity.
Mass deportations. End the Welfare State. Avoid pointless foreign wars in the Mid East (or anywhere). There are other smaller things you can do policy wise to help with affordability, but do these things and the crisis ends. Take them off the table and the problem isn’t fixable.
We’re starting to see Democrats openly declare that everything they were saying between 2018 and 2023 is now out of bounds for criticism, like it was all one giant oopsie that they get to erase from the public’s collective consciousness.
These people showed us their true colors at a time when they believed they had permanently won. They acted the way they did because they thought they could get away with it.
They never expected any backlash, and now that one has arrived, they want to pretend like they didn’t actually mean it when they said they hated Whites, hated men, hated this country, hated Western Civilization, and wanted to “decolonize” it all for the sake of their oikophobic ideology.
No, you don’t get a pass. When someone shows us who they are, believe them.
"Whoopsie, we thought we had enough critical mass to destroy America. Turns out we didn't, forget all that stuff so we can go back to subverting your children until we do."
Did Trump start the affordability crisis? No
Is the Iran war singularly responsible for it? No
Do rising gas prices from the war create a spike in the problem? Obviously
Does barrowing or printing tens of billions to fight the war guarantee it will get worse? Yes
One of the problems with this claim is that virtually no Republican was making "the affordability crisis is fake" arguments during the Biden years. It's extremely transparent to everyone that the unwillingness to acknowledge these obvious economic challenges is at least partially politically motivated.
The second problem is that, no matter how thrifty your family might be, and no matter how cheap your homemade burritos, the significant rise in grocery prices over the past 6 years -- and the fact that the rise is continuing, not stopping, and certainly not reversing -- is just a mathematical reality. It can't be denied. It is a fact.
Grocery prices have gone up by 30 percent or more this decade. I'm happy for you if your family isn't significantly impacted by this problem. But it is real. And it is a problem. And conservatives better come up with an answer that isn't just "learn how to make cheap burritos" or we will get absolutely crushed. That's another reality.
If these people had their way, nothing grand would ever be built ever again and 100% of society's productive capacity would be oriented towards pouring an infinite amount of resources into the black hole that is the bottom 1% of society.
And I’m not talking about people who are down on their luck. I’m talking about the most dysfunctional, degenerate, violent, impulsive, low IQ, criminally-inclined losers who suck up endless state resources for all the social workers, police officers, prisons, welfare spending, and public attention they inevitably require.
We are held hostage by these people in a way you couldn’t even begin to fully appreciate.
The conservatives on here denying the affordability crisis are engaged in what I can only describe as an act of political suicide. They're also lying, which is the worst part. Grocery prices are up. Housing. Energy. Insurance. Health care. Basic living expenses. It's real. It's happening. Denying it just makes you look out of touch, deceitful, and untrustworthy. It's also a completely unnecessary and unforced error. No credible person is claiming that Trump caused these price surges. You don't have to disgrace yourself by denying the reality in front of your face just to prove your loyalty to Trump. The causes for the most part are multi faceted, complicated, and longstanding. That's true. So let's discuss them. Debating whether the problem exists at all -- or, if it does exist, whether it counts as a problem -- is a total waste of time, and makes you look like a shill and a fraud.
The entire US media is running stories about “The Return of the Red Scare” right now but has unironically done this to every merely perceived right-leaning celebrity for decades.
We don’t hear about it because that’s the type of thing that happens in Haiti on a daily basis which is precisely the reason we don’t want them here to begin with
