Could Trump do anything to make you stop supporting him?

And in Louisiana? https://www.workstream.us/wage-index/louisiana#:~:text=The Louisiana minimum wage is,must make up the difference. And then again there's Mississippi? https://squareup.com/us/en/the-bottom-line/managing-your-finances/mississippi-minimum-wage
Georgia,Idaho,Kentucky,Indiana,Kansas,(and a host of others) are you sure their not just pretending that there's a lot of deadbeats on food stamps when they know their jobs don't pay much and so a whole lot of people qualify because they make so little? https://www.paycom.com/resources/blog/minimum-wage-rate-by-state/

I'm in South Carolina. No one makes minimum wage. I do believe the ease of assistance and the amount does keep people from working. People getting government assistance often make more not working than working. That means we are giving too much assistance. Able-bodied people should be working. Assistance should be reserved for those who cannot work.
We've had this discussion before. I have worked 2 and 3 jobs my whole life. Why should someone who doesn't work get anything? Is it owed to them? If people get an education, get married, and don't have children until after they marry, their chances of living in poverty and practically nonexistent. This is what we should be promoting.

My friend the alternate news is pulling the wool over you guys heads,lol... by Federal law if you are able to work you DO NOT qualify for SNAP(food stamps) or any other benefits https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/food/snap-food-benefits https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/food/snap-food-benefits/snap-work-rules THE ONLY PEOPLE ON BENEFITS EITHER ARE WORKING OR EXEMPT...

With all due respect it doesn't make it not fact either.



I think you may want to check the polls again.




Biden?! Yes, I'd agree with you.




That argument is so out in left field it's not worth discussion.



Well my husband was a Dem when we met just about 10 yrs ago. I don't have an issue with the voters, free country. My issue is with Dem policy. That's why I use my vote and my free speech to come against their views. Up to the voters to make up their own minds.




I'd say that's a slight exaggeration. But Dems have a few conspiracy theories themselves.



Murder with abortion, yes, I agree it's murder. Don't know what you mean by the second point.

This isn't true of everyone that supports Trump. Canada has a man similar to him rising in the polls there. At some point, if Trump is so horrible, you have to stop and ask yourself why so many people with so many varied backgrounds are willing to vote for him. Why he is so far ahead of everyone else.

SNAP is only 1 of a multitude of programs available. While what you say about SNAP is true, there is all kinds of aid given to non-working able-bodied people. Giving everyone $600 for people to stay home during Covid is one of many examples. And I know personally of a woman in DC who received over $50,000 in benefits a year.

Exactly, more like a bull in a china shop really . rofl She didn't even see her first job all the way through. I just don't believe she is sincere.

Fascism

a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.

Led by a Dictator -- neither Trump nor Biden can have their presidency characterized as being a "dictator with complete power" but I can certainly agree that of the two Trump is the one more likely and more capable of becoming a dictator. However, Obama should not be ignored and if Michelle were to run then I think this would be a valid discussion.

Forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism -- We have the receipts. Facebook, Youtube, Google, and Twitter all shadow banned, de monetized, suspended, and otherwise censored opposition and criticism at the request of the DOJ, FBI, and alphabet agencies of the US government. Trump was not responsible for this, he was the target of this. He was investigated for 3 years by Mueller, there were two impeachments, and 91 indictments, all political, all hypocritical, and all as a way of suppressing opposition.

Regimenting all industry, commerce -- the clearest example of this was the vaccine mandate and that was done by the Biden administration. Yes, Trump was involved in bringing a vaccine to the market in record time during a pandemic, that is what we would hope to see in a war time president. That is similar to FDR's response to Pearl Harbor. But the vaccine mandate of an EUA vaccine, firing people if they didn't comply, not providing all the research on the vaccine to those who had agreed to take it waving their rights to sue, that was by definition fascist.

Emphasizing an aggressive nationalism -- That is a very clear reference to Trump and "make America great again". This is the only reason that anyone can use to claim he is fascist, that he is a nationalist. The accurate and precise word for someone who is nationalist without taking any authoritarian measures is "populist". Yes, no one can become a dictator of a fascist regime without being popular, but populist and nationalist are not the same thing.

Often racist -- The only person with racist policies is Biden. He was closely involved in the two most racist bills the US ever passed. The only person with racist quotes is Biden. They have gone onto the street asking random people from the inner city "if these quotes from Trump are racist" and everyone agrees, they are totally racist only to then learn they are actually quotes from Biden. This is why Chicago and NYC now have dynamic campaigns for Trump to turn those two democratic strongholds red.

In conclusion, we should be alarmed at many things that Biden has done. Labelling parents at School board meetings domestic terrorists, that is fascist, using the DOJ to go after political opponents, that is what a Dictator does, calling 75 million Americans who voted for Trump "domestic terrorists" that is abhorrent. Mandating the EUA vaccine without providing all the research and despite the fact there were effective treatments was criminal.

We should also be wary of Trump's popularity that it doesn't lead to abuse of power.

There is no doubt that Trump has said things that are disturbing and unorthodox. I have repeatedly likened him to the jawbone of an ass that Samson used to slay the Philistines.

But we should be far more alarmed at the things that Biden has done. He brazenly lied to us about Hunter Biden's criminal activities during the Presidential debate. He lied about his involvement in those activities. Those lies are far more heinous than the lie Clinton told which led to his impeachment. I think it is crucial that we keep up the pressure because everyone knows if this were any other president, Clinton or Trump, they would have been impeached and removed a long time ago.

The DOJ indicted Hunter Biden on 9 counts based on the laptop which they had one year before the election. Think of that, they could have indicted him any time in the last 8 years but they wait until he is subpoena'd to a closed door hearing to keep him from testifying. This should be very alarming to all Americans. Donald Trump was impeached because he wanted to investigate what was going on in Ukraine, something he is obligated to do by law, and as it turns out may be tied to bioweapons labs being run by the US in Ukraine which could have been responsible for the pandemic. We don't have all the facts, but both the Russians and the Chinese have made these claims to the UN and we are idiots and fools if we don't take them seriously and investigate.

Finally, consider this, why is someone who isn't even an American and won't vote in this election so heavily invested in this debate? She claims she has come to our forum to answer questions about being an Orthodox Jew, questions no one had been asking. I have asked her 5 questions about what Orthodox Jews believe and think and she has ignored all 5 despite starting a thread to answer questions. Is that just a cover for her interest in trying to bash Trump? Can anyone really believe that an "orthodox Jew" who "can't show their elbows in public" would support abortion up to the time of birth?

I adamantly disagree. Government revenue almost doubled under Reagan.
I also disagree that there was corporate welfare. That is a term made up by liberals to create dissension. They received tax breaks and the tax rate was reduced.
That's what you do when you want to promote a policy...you incentivize it. Why do you think married couples get tax breaks? Why do parents get tax breaks for having children? Because as a society we were promoting marriage and children.
You don't understand the tax structure either. 50% of people in this country don't pay federal taxes. Of the 50% who do, the top 10% pay the majority of the taxes.
You have listened to liberal lies and believe the rich don't pay their fair share. The rich pay most of the taxes. You don't understand economics or what the truth concerning taxes is. You spout a bunch of liberal talking points and don't even check with reality. But it's simple: are you better off now under Biden or under Trump? Were people better off under Reagan or Carter? That's all you need to understand about economics. The ones who you are better off under know economics. The other knows politics.

Of course it did. Government revenue nearly doubled while personal income rose. That means wealth was created.

Reagan brought in more money. The libs spent it. There was no money going to corporations. They were getting lower taxes and tax incentives.
Corporate welfare is what liberals do...give money to China to produce windmills and car companies to produce EV's.
You don't know what you are talking about.

I'm going to do what you do and blame the liberals whenever I don't like something or things aren't going my way. I should have used that whenever my husband came home and didn't like a purchase.

Him: "Honey, did you spend a hundred euros on an air fryer?"
Me: "It's liberal lies my love. We earned it and they spent it."

If you're going to insult people and tell them they don't know what they're talking about perhaps you should post your evidence.

I checked. Ronald Reagan almost tripled the national debt from 738 billion to 2.1 trillion.

So here's the reality, because I actually bothered to look things up:

Did Reagan have the worst growth? No, it was actually fairly okay. The economy cratered at the start but did shoot up considerably in the second half. However this came at the expense of tripling the debt... the United States went from a creditor to a debtor nation. Poverty increased and homelessness doubled. More wealth got moved upwards and the middle class suffered the most. So, the final total of income growth under Reagan was about 8%. Not awful but not the best ever.

The worst job growth was under Donald Trump. Now to be fair, some of this is certainly do to covid but even before then it was very anemic and some have argued he was coasting on the growth started under Obama. However, Obama's job growth was also weak and even though he did post about 5% income growth taxes and expenses went up even higher. So... meh.

So who was actually the worst for income and job growth? Turns out it was Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.

Who was the best? It was those well known conservative Republicans Bill Clinton followed by John F. Kennedy. In fact Bill Clinton was the last president to leave office with a surplus.

None of this is my opinion it's the official posted numbers by the Cato institute, Chamber of Commerce and so on. Check for yourselves.

Trickle down voodoo economics.Reagan tried that.

Do you understand why these cuts are given? Did you know that cutting tax rates on businesses actually produces more revenue for the government? Do you know why?

But the question Is what In your opinion Is a RINO(Republican In Name Only)?Many of those that support Donald Trump believe that a RINO Is someone who Is a republican and they are now disagreeing with Donald Trump.
