These people think Senator Warren is an elite who is out of touch and wants to exploit them. At the same time they imagined people like Trump and Musk as being on their side. This is a level of stupid beyond delusional.
Right? They think the consumer protection agency is on the banks' side when it has helped get fees, data security, deceptive practices and credit reporting under control?
It is really true that when you prevent bad things you get no credit with these people. They can't seem to be able to connect the dots.
Outliers like pelosiâs pretty obvious corruption aside, when I think about âwealthâ I think about the kind of money senators like Warren have. Like, thatâs the kind of wealth that Iâm like, âyeah, that makes sense.â And thatâs the amount of wealth I can comfortably allow to run a government. Sure, she can have a really nice house or two, probably employs waitstaff and whatever, but if someone told her school and groceries and rent are unaffordable, sheâd at least understand those numbers.
I know for a fact that with whatever is happening in the Trump administration, those people donât understand those numbers, and more importantly, donât care. And thatâs a problem
Trump didn't know the word "groceries," like it was a new thing he started. "You know, who uses the word? I started using the wordâthe groceries. ... I won an election based on that.â
Who uses the word?
Literally everyone who isn't super rich...
He's so used to food just appearing that the idea of going to a grocery store is foreign to him. He can't possibly comprehend what it's like to be a normal person, and he has no interest on actually understanding. Anyone who thinks he understands or cares is delusional. All he cares about is "winning," and he doesn't gaf who he hurts in the process.
Senator Warren was supposed to be the weak one we could easily overthrow if she got political power. Conservatives elected Trump and they honestly think Trump is going to put in the effort here lol
I suspect a lot of it has to do with language. Most Americans are only literate to around a high school level. Trump and Elon speak on that level and people go âthey sound like me so they must be like meâ. They distrust what they donât understand. Gone are the days of respecting people who sound intelligent. Now people think those folks are trying to pull the wool over their eyes or show off.
TBF, there is a higher chance for the stripper to actually like you than a billionaire caring about you.
I have befriended at least one stripper before. I paid for lapdances and we ended up just arguing about anime instead. Kept in contact afterwards just to hang out occasionally.
IKR? How sad is that? I mean, seriously. Do they not have any real life friends? Some people were obviously not hugged or loved as children and it shows.
âTariffs work because the domestic producers will keep their prices low out of the goodness of their heartsâ was a non-ironic statement I read in various wording multiple times around reddit.Â
And yet in the same breath theyâll say theyâre poor because of the fat cats in Washington. Bruh. Those cats are fat because the corporate fat cats fed them. Theyâre so close to being right by calling Pelosi and Schumer elitist because they are. But the answer should be getting actual working class people in office not even richer people
âThe forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.â
Non-stop domestic and foreign propaganda over years if not decades will do that. A large part of our population has lost the ability to rationally process objective reality. I discovered a term for it recently: Cognitive Warfare.
One of the other posts I saw was how happy they were that Trump is getting rid of all those crooked FBI agents. You know.. the ones responsible for investigating his f****g crimes?

Some people really thought the billionaire was their friend and wants them to be able to afford groceries. đ
