    A lot of people also don’t see that the Netherlands have been lifted from the Eurasian continent and landed on the Moon.

    In both cases, people don’t see it because it’s not true.

      Yup. Bingo. This is exactly it, and other billionaires think this is the case also.

      They’re going to be really confused and outraged when people start eating them.

    The current US economy is the greatest economy… if you’re a billionaire

    If you’re a landlord collecting rent from 1,000 tenants, you’re rolling in cash right now

    If you own a large amount of stocks, you’re rolling in cash right now

    The economy is great for the rich because they’re able to take all the value generated by the working class

    The USA is fucking trash. These billionaires are literally cancer on our society.

    he switched places. he won because he didn’t do this and pretended he understands people are suffering. now that he’s in power he doesn’t want to admit that so he’s doing the Democratic Party Special™ which is just to tell people their experiences and feelings are wrong and things are actually great which is why they fucking lose all the goddamn time. stupid move when mamdani wiped the floor with the entire elite class with his affordability message.

    Boomer logic … they have life so good that they honestly believe that everyone else of every generation should be like them. They have no clue or little understanding that times have changed and people are living with little or not enough but they just don’t care.

      Slightly more boomers voted conservative in the last few elections than voted liberal. Slightly more of the younger generations voted liberal. The difference isn’t that stark. If you attended any of the no kings protests, you saw that the overwhelming majority were older folks. This kind of age prejudice isn’t helping anything.

        That’s what shocked me last No Kings protest. I saw tons of older folks and even some people I know are die-hard conservative Republicans with signs out in the middle of town.

        Things are worse than Trump and the beltway oligarchs know. Gilded fishbowls and all that.

          At least some of the demographics is likely because older folks often have more free time to be able to get out and protest, but I know an awful lot of passionately liberal boomers.

          And you’re right, now that conservatives are being undeniably impacted, it seems that their support of Trump might be faltering.

    He thinks that because he is grifting like a motherfucker and racking up billions in schemes like crypto shitcoins.

    He is completely divorced from reality.

    I agree that a lot of people don’t see the truth of the American economy: they’re in a fucking recession.
