A trade war with the rest of the world will make today's cost of living feel like the good old days.
Letting Taiwan fend for itself will deprive us of an ally and a major source of microchips for industry and national defense.
Repealing the ACA will take us to the bad old days when tens of millions couldnt qualify or afford any insurance.
Gutting Social Security and medicare will deprive tens of millions of seniors of their only financial lifeline.
Deporting millions of mostly Latinos will make finding people to work in the agricultural sector a challenge to say the least. Shutting out immigrants will also deprive the US treasury of taxpayers (legal or not) to help fund SS and Medicare, with our declining birth rates.
I get why people didnt vote for Harris. The way she got the nomination, more of the same, not enough distance from Biden on most issues. What I dont get is how Trump voters believe his policies will make things better. Seems like a nihilistic choice.
I think a big part of it falls on the Clintons, who turned the keys of the economy over to Wall Street in the 90s. Thats when the Dems stopped being the party of Labor, the middle class, and only talked a good game.
If they had stuck to their roots, all this culture war BS wouldnt play such a big part of the conversation.
