  1. ​ @levismirnoff5450  I recently realized that a big part of the problems in politics is that people still use the GDP as the measurement for how the economy is doing. Despite the widespread knowledge that this is not a good measurement for it.

  2. I'd argue that the candidate doesn't even matter that much, if the culture and supporters around a party signal something different.

  3. Then it is important to have winners, not only losers. In other cases things might cancel each other out, maybe lower housing costs but temporarily higher costs for healthcare (until some reforms kick in). Also, making sure some programs can't be brought back, especially based on DEI discrimination.

  4. I think, their argument is about the trend.

  5. The Democrats back then pushed for a democratic world order, with US interventions otherwise lead by the United Nations. "World Society" and such terms were common. There was a lot of pandering to blacks and women going on. Rejecting re9lacement migrat1on was called rac1sm or wh1te supr3macism. The Republicans of today are not the same, and those two don't strike me as the average Republican supporter. It's just a party with a wide scope.

  6. But they can't, if they are not in charge.

  7. Their methods and some of their ideas came from communism, but leftist ideology isn't ethno-nationalist combined with imperialism.

  8. This is too simplistic. Other subgroups also oppose them, e.g. men who don't want more pandering to women. European countries also have plenty of leftists, economically and culturally, because of education, media, and other power structures.

  9. Rejecting replac3ment m1gration and universalist politics is not "racism". The alleged leaders of the "racists" have never been elected by even parts of the population. These were always just the people who were okay with being hated by society or enjoying the attention. Then other people flocked to them and the groups, then picked up some of the additional narratives and arguments to fit in. This whole counter culture is in itself a creation by the hate against any Wh1te identitarianism and expression of group interest. Of course, the caricature of "the far right" collapses when the oppressing forces lose power. Though , this doesn't mean the political interests behind it go away.

  10. Yes. Not 2x, but 1.5x-1.75x most of the time.

  11. A psy-op to have a family? 🤔 Edit: Typo

  12. @chrisharris2862 I don't get your point. A psy-op for somewhat, but not radically traditionalist families?!

  13. Not with the pushback Trump is delivering. But it was close. It's important that the Republicans put constraints on what the Democrats even could do.

  14.  @deanrobb9220  I think it's clear to the Republicans that their future is at stake. This is why they will dismantle power structures and change incentives. For example, if they make "positive discrimination" legally impossible, then going forward the Democrats will simply have a very hard time to promise anything like that. Changes in media, education, and financing of NGOs might also have a strong effect. Also, let's not forget the people who didn't vote this time, because Trump "didn't deliver" during his first term.

  15. In 2028, the Republicans may profit from people coming back who didn't vote this time, because of the argument that Trump didn't deliver what they wanted during his first round. There are still plenty of such guys.
