The reason no one made much noise….it was expected. It’s like a saying the Pope is catholic, water is wet, and the tin man has a sheet metal wang.
The difference is the chest pounding and bragging about how “everything is going to be so cheap because I’m a great leader.”
Well when it’s not, people get miffed.
IF a politician would come out and say “things are ****, here’s my plan. Let’s see what we can do to fix this.” (And followed through) they would OWN an election. Tell people the truth, don’t tell them that the mouthful of poop they have been fed is soft serve ice cream.
Don’t make unrealistic promises.
People don’t like when someone pisses down their back and tells them it’s raining.
Empty promise are just that. Empty.
But there’s one word I said above that’s gonna negate my entire post because it and politicians are mutually exclusive : truth.
I'll drink to that. Now, find ONE person that can win an election in ANY country without making exaggerated promises. Can't be done, you know why? 40% of the population is STUPID (sub average IQ), that's just a statistic and 20 percent are just gullible and emotionally directed in their actions. So in order to win an election you have to sell to the gullible and hope the smart ones understand your plan. It's exactly the same when you have to sell a President as it is when you're selling Ice cream. This is not speculation, trust me...

I wasn’t happy with the high gas prices under Biden. Nor the price of eggs. I don’t have to buy many dozens of eggs every f’n week either.
I voted for Trump. I’m not necessarily against what he’s doing to Iran. I am quite confident that when/if Iran gets a nuclear weapon that they WILL use it against Israel. If/when that happens the Middle East will be a vast area of molten glass and uninhabitable for centuries.
Just don’t try to tell me everything is sweetness and light when it damn sure ain’t in my world.
Oh, and the large percentage of households making $100kand less? They are hurting right now. $1200-1500 starter home prices, $300-600/mo USED car payment. $1k/mo childcare(2 kids). Then add in groceries and General daily/monthly expenses. Large portions of our population ain’t having fun right now. Nor were they under Biden.

We shouldn't have gotten involved in that mess in 1948. I'm not pro-Israel, I'm not anti-Israel either. They're just another country that we shouldn't be involved with.
