The rest of the world just sees Los Angeles and Hollywood and think all of America looks like that. No. We are a third world. With a lot of money. And this is the result. It's not a surprise.

The clearest example: items at the Dollar Store are no longer $1, they’re now $1.25. Same for Five Below. Their employee wages are stagnant, but their CEO pay went up. There should be a law tying retailers’ input costs to the prices they charge. But Trump will not pass any law to stop companies from doing this. Kamala at least had a modest proposal. Landlords are also still price-gouging, even though it’s clearly illegal (look up “real page software”).

54:07 no he means not avoiding direct conflict with Trump out of corporate interest of the media owners.

[@betford2]

And to top it all off, our Supreme Court enabled him not only to run but to avoid accountability with the immunity decision.

[@jeffsimon9594]

That'll be because the charges were simply lawfare BS

[@belindamay8063]

@betford2. As a British person I’m very suspicious of the Supreme Court. Perhaps it’s time to abolish it - the way we abolished The Divine Right of Kings. What’s more , the Democratic Party doesn’t seem to be the Party of the common people. Without the leadership of Sanders and others of his ilk , it seems more like a posh dinner party. Where are the workers ?

What happened next came faster than even I expected, and it vindicated Trump voters completely. Peace and prosperity is coming rather y'all like it or not.

[@ignarskjolvjentski7809]

We’ve seen this in the states before in Woodrow Wilson. In fact, I may be tempted to call this a neo-wilsonian movement in America. Hopefully I’m misreading the tea leaves, but when you take the race rhetoric, the isolationism, the American exceptionalism and historical revisionism characteristic of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency, at a time when America’s global influenced was less potent than in the modern era, it’s hard to imagine how such a combination of ego and supremacist worldview could be at its most benign destabilizing to global diplomatic and economic cooperation. At worst, history could repeat in a nuclear age.

He assumes they're uneducated. Will he ever , ever, learn.

[@Monkismo]

Or he's pointing out how poor and working class people choose to be conservatives even though it gains them nothing, unless it is using the government to impose their religious dogma on others. No one is forcing them to support a demagogue, and they don't even have ignorance to hide behind this time, since we have a first term to look back on.

@@Monkismo I'm an evangelical Christian (in the original sense) and it stuns me how many US ECs use their faith to justify voting for Trump. If they like his policies, fine, but some of the pseudo-worship staggers me.

I agree (surprise surprise) with the take on Badenoch's performance. It did come across as if she thought she were preparing for a student union debate. It's giving a lot of "debate me bro" energy; great for the internet, but maybe not for parliament
