If Trump will increase the inflation then the Republican Party will surely lose the midterms. At that point the masses will not be victimized by the right wing elites.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoIf history repeats. Republicans will say any inflation in the next 2 years was because of the last administration and get a pass. They get 2 years of blaming the last guy.
- dh2022 2y agoIf the electorate are angry about their economical situation excuses like that will not work. I believe the Republicans have a tall order to accomplish. And if they do not then the Republicans will lose the midterms.
- ihaveajob 2y agoAll they have to do is leave things as they are. They won't have trouble NOT following through in their promises. Politicians do that all the time. The US economy is the strongest of its peers, and the best it's been in a long time. Once that settles in, people will see the party in power as responsible for that.
- dh2022 2y agoBut this whole thread is about how the economy right now it bad for the people - and this is the reason why they dumped Kamala. If the economy stays the way it is people will still be angry - and they will dump Republicans in the midterms. Otherwise the economy is not the reason people dumped Kamala..... This is becoming illogical (at least for me...)
- l33t7332273 2y agoThe fact is that the economy is not bad right now. People are mad about their perception of the economy, but the economy is fine. Once their team is in, their perception will change over night.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoExactly. People complain about gas going up a dollar and cry about milk and eggs. But it is actually pretty good right now. If the right is ready for a civil war when things are good, what happens to US voters when the Economy actually is bad. If we get 20-30% inflation (because no labor because of deportations, and tariffs), and losing jobs because of budget cuts (people forget Trump 1 didn't create many jobs).
- foobarian 2y agoI doubt the deportations at that level will happen; the GOP elites know the score. They will do some well publicized theater and call it a day.
- defrost 2y agoThe US lacks both the resources and the time in a four year term to deport at the levels claimed in the campaign What is very likely is that Stephen "my precious" Miller (aka Goebbels-lite) will get to break up more families, "lose" more vulnerable children and build a few more international convention breaking "camps". Addendum: Rather than downvote at least expand on why you might think Miller will not repeat what he has done before in pursuit of the goals he has clearly stated?

- xp84 2y agoThat's not true. Trump lost his majority in 2 years the first time around because he was blamed (pretty fairly) for all his mistakes during that time.
- FrustratedMonky 2y agoHere's to hoping. But if people were going to use logic like that, then why vote for him again at all? There was an entire 4 years of chaos that nobody remembers. Why should we think that by the mid terms people will suddenly become logical again.
- consteval 2y agoThe modern republicans (i.e. MAGA) are very much one the misinformation train. They can just lie, say things are actually better, and boom, people will believe it. I doubt very many people are going to actually track their receipts. And those who do will only get coverage on MSNBC, CNN, etc so this will be branded "fake news".
