Rural Trump supporters, who do get satellite TV and could watch real news, only watch Fox. They are in for a surprise.

Trump's Supporters In Rural Areas Are In For A Nasty Surprise

Buyer’s remorse is rampant since Trump and the GOP barely won the election. Muslim Americans in Michigan who supported Trump are now begging Biden to save Gaza from escalation from Bibi. Wall Street executives are alarmed by Trump’s tariffs. Hispanics...

Trump’s loyal supporters in the nation’s farm belt are (justifiably) worried that Trump is going to badly damage their $1.5 trillion industry. His extreme deportation plan is causing widespread panic among farmers at risk of losing workers and business. Agricultural output will decline between $30 and $60 billion if Trump’s signature deportation policy is carried out.
The soybean and grain dependent Midwest is especially at risk, since this part of the country needs the federal government’s program that allows certain companies to bring foreign workers into the U.S. to fill temporary agriculture jobs. The forced removal of immigrant farm workers will badly hurt Nebraska.

Those concerns are justified since soybean sales alone to China precipitously declined by a whopping 79% in the first two years of Trump’s presidency. According to the Nebraska Farm Bureau, Trump’s trade war cost Nebraska farmers $2 billion. By 2020, a whopping 40% of farm income came from government handouts. That bailout cost the U.S. taxpayers $28 billion.

The MAGA Republicans’ misguided policies won’t only harm the rural areas of the country, they will also jack up inflation. The deportation of 10 to 15 million immigrants will cause the cost of food and housing to soar. Imposing tariffs or taxes on food imported from Mexico and other U.S. trading partners will also cause grocery prices to skyrocket.

I guess the farmers will need to get their back yard vegetable gardens going.
 
Matt Gaetz agrees with Elon, the F-35 is a waste of money and needs to do.

The F-35 is a failed platform.

We should move away immediately toward drones.

A very astute analysis by this poster. Trump is campaigning. What he does best.

So this partly the reason for his popularity. He campaigns and takes credit continuously. Biden did none of that, a few speeches here and there. But he was so in the back ground, so presidential, that in this social media world it looks like he did nothing.

I predict all prices will increase before Trump takes office because of this. It is an excuse for companies to gouge a bit before they take effect AND they will do so to give Trump political cover to say that the prices are because of Biden.
 
This is gonna be great!

Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, who President-elect Donald Trump has nominated to be the potential next defense secretary, recently called for radically transforming the public education system in order to accommodate a Christian nationalist vision.

That's according to Salon writer Amanda Marcotte, who highlighted Hegseth's remarks in a November episode of the "CrossPolitic" podcast. In that podcast — which is hosted by two men with close ties to far-right chattlel slavery apologist pastor Douglas Wilson — Hegseth called for an "educational insurgency" of "classical Christian schools."

In the interview promoting his book "Battle for the American Mind," Hegseth agreed with host Toby Sumpter, who said: "I think we need to be thinking in terms of these classical Christian schools are boot camps for winning back America."

That's what the crop of these classical Christian schools are gonna do in a generation," Hegseth said. "Policy answers like school choice, while they're great, that's phase two stuff later on once the foothold has been taken, once the recruits have graduated boot camp."

"We call it a tactical retreat," Hegseth added, using overtly militaristic language. "We draw out in the last part of the book what an educational insurgency would look like, because I was a counterinsurgency instructor in Afghanistan and kind of the phases that Mao [Zedong] wrote about. We're in middle phase one right now, which is effectively a tactical retreat where you regroup, consolidate, and reorganize. And as you do so, you build your army underground with the opportunity later on of taking offensive operations in an overt way."

The next Democratic administration (I'm trying to remain optimistic) will have their work cut out for them. So much that will need fixing.

And when they can't fix the mess overnight with a magic wand, the conservatives will blame them for the mess they created.
 
Don Jr. Trump is considering a "massive White House press briefing room shakeup."

The plan that would include "some of our podcaster buddies like Joe Rogan and others taking seats from many discredited legacy news publications"

On top of that, they're going to take credit for Biden's economy. I believe they already are.

They will gaslight and take credit for any good stuff and blame the opposition for the bad stuff, and those who carry his water will nod and grin like the ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ idiots they are and the low information voters will remain low information.
