Can someone explain to me why we are better off now than before trump office? Like what is this vision of America that should be evolving into how is better? It just seems like they are poor and are taking it out on a disenfranchised demographic…

We aren’t. This shit sucks by like every objective metric. We are descending into literal, actual fascism. I believe we’ll win in the end but man it sucks right now.

He is tougher on crime and illegal immigration which will benefit our economy in the long run, even if it takes time. Not really a right-wing person mind you, just being objective here, but lower inflation and cost of living was something that admittedly did happen due in part to his actions in his first term in office. Again, it may take time, but things like tariffs on industrial imports did lead to lower prices at that point (like with metal imported from Canada)

The COL I think he just learned how to use the number mostly by tanking gas I think theres like 8 metrics. I bike and live in an EHCOL city and have still felt prices climb and my paycheck shrink. And my union negotiated no pay raise my pay grade. I was swing trading before the tariffs clearing 20% every paycheck. I had it in a micro cap that lost 40% of market cap and still hasn’t recovered just because market volume hasn’t recovered it has had no news.
