Americans putting life on hold amid economic anxiety under Trump, poll shows

Jump

  • Try telling that to the idiotic ruling class. ¯(ツ)/¯

    • Which are you?

    Jump

  • I feel like I've been a 6 for at least the last decade or so.

    • US House Republicans vote against blocking ICE from deporting US citizens

    Jump

  • Guess we know who the real anti-Americans are.

    • Five people survive 36 hours in alligator-infested swamp after plane crash

    Jump

  • Yeah, people need to stop calling it that. An infestation implies they're not supposed to be there.

    The correct term is "alligator-inhabited".

    • What's your superpower?

    Jump

  • I can stop my ears from ringing on command.

    • California to negotiate trade with other countries to bypass Trump tariffs

    Jump

  • Already looking into it...

    • That's impossible

    Jump

  • Thanks, I hate it.

    • Elon Musk, who reveled in putting people out of work, whines that Democrats are being mean to him

    Jump

  • Wait, he wants empathy, now? I'm confused.

    • It sounds classy

    Jump

  • Vagina.

    • Definitely didn't waste half an hour making this

    Jump

  • They're all wrong. I don't see a Blackwing up there.

    • I've done it again...

    Jump

  • Italian here. That's not a bug; that's a feature.

    • Invading Canada Is Not Advisable

    Jump

  • At this point, I wouldn't mind seeing a reenactment.

    • Canadian premier says he will cut off electricity exports to US ‘with a smile on my face’

    Jump

  • Californian here. Is Canada's offer to buy us still on the table?

    • Classical Meme

    Jump

  • A loss meme that didn't make me cringe? Well done.

    • Prosecutor quits Trump’s DOJ in brutal letter: Find someone else ‘enough of a coward to file your motion’

    Jump

  • If only the rest of their party cared about rule of law.

    • What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?

    Jump

  • The reason you see little official pushback from within the US is because things are far more dire here than you might imagine, as an outsider. The US Republican Party (aka GOP - Trump's party) is currently in control of all three branches of the US federal government. Ever since Trump took office, it's been one step toward constitutional crisis after another, and apparently the Republicans don't give a shit about rule of law when it comes to policing their own. The Democrats (our nominal "opposition" party) can't really do shit right now except at the local level. We have an unelected CEO compromising every branch of our nation's government with all the Republicans looking the other way. To be honest, I'm past the point of expecting a fair election in four years. As an American who grew up learning to value the ideals of personal freedom and liberty, to see what is happening to my country leaves me OUTRAGED.

    • What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?

    Jump

  • Who said we aren't mad?

    • Why politicians keep blaming ‘DEI’ for disasters, even when it’s laughably untrue.

    Jump

  • It isn't "politicians". It's Republicans.

    • Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit

    Jump

  • Not sure why you're being downvoted for being right. If the people who voted for Trump:

    1. Had 8 years to see exactly what Trump was like, and
    2. AREN'T wealthy business owners

    ...what other conclusions are there?
