“facts based on the experiences of many” is a dangerous phrase to use because your perception can in fact be compared to statistical reality
Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit
NastyNative@mander.xyz 1 week agoI respectfully disagree. The working class experienced significant gains during the Trump administration, and the past four years under Biden’s leadership have been particularly challenging. These are the facts based on the experiences of many and the main reason Trump is now president. It’s important to recognize that the wealthiest individuals often remain insulated from the hardships faced by hardworking Americans, and they do not endure the same struggles as those in the labor force. Essentially they always win!

Name one way trump improved your life.
Thousands of people are currently dead because he did almost nothing to combat COVID, the economy wrecked partially for the same reason. Biden didn’t do a ton to improve or worsen economic conditions. And the public wasn’t aware of the few good things he actually did. Many people believed all the hilariously false shit about the damned laptop.
The reason trump is president right now is that a lot of billionaires worked to brainwash less educated people into voting squarely against their own interests.
Trump is currently letting the world’s richest man dismantle the government from within. If that one fact alone doesn’t alarm you I don’t know what to tell you.
Trump’s mishandling of COVID was nothing compared to the death and destruction he’s currently setting in motion. It will take this country 100 years to recover, if it ever does.
Good luck buying food once he deports millions of immigrants that currently make the food as cheap as it even is now. You won’t have to imagine produce prices tripling, you’ll see it if he actually does that shit.

That dip is in employment due to COVID. You need a different chart that compares income adjusted for stimulus payments. Im about to get out of work but Ill try to source one for you if I remember.
You aren’t wrong that’s just the wrong chart.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Yes, I know what it was due to. That doesn’t change the fact that is literally the opposite of significant gains.

Plus that graph is pretty much the same when Trump supporters talk about him securing our borders from illegal immigrants. Pretty much every country restricted border crossings at the start of Covid so yeah it was way harder for people to move around.
The Biden administration didn’t increase the amount of illegal immigration, it just returned to the line it had been on before Covid.
