Read the whole article...it's worth it at the very least to see how much psychosis most Republicans are living under. Like, there is actual proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that the economy RIGHT NOW is like way tf worse than it was 4 years ago but these cult members refuse to see it, :roll:

It's pretty sad tbh though...

so instead of writing a straight forward answer about the deep issue about you believing the grass is greener on the other side, you just write "the grass isn't green on that side" without ever having any solid proof in order to lure others to make the fallacy that since your claim is that the grass on the other side isn't green, then your grass must be green, all while, you've made 0 proof regarding such subject matter.

The economy was on the upswing for three years, then Democrats predictably and transparently sabotaged it with unprecedentedly unconstitutional overreach, justified by fear mongering the easily herded low IQ public (thats you) over the terrors of a flu virus, and now they expect republican voters to insist that “we’re worse off now than we were when Trump started!!!!!”

Obviously most republicans seem uninterested in giving them the satisfaction.

The thing is, Democrat politicians and money backers laugh at how easy guys like you are to play. You got bullied by a few republican types in high school, now all you care about is getting some kind of public political one-up on them, and even tho the Dem establishment is all too eager to eat you alive, you still run right into their lap JUST so you can feel like youre spiting ol Bubba and Billy Bob.

You have emotional baggage that causes you to be OMB.

It’s not bc youre smarter than republicans. Youre not a better person.

Youre petty and jealous and resentful. Thats what makes you so obsessively anti republican. How many times have we been over this??

has Climate change been under control? are you saying that while the government has made continuous violation against the Paris Accord all while no government outside the U.S. has made a statement regarding such issue?

listen, we get it, your ancestors practices beastiality and that's what you wanted to show us because sucking some none-human d*ck is far better than understanding how to read in your reality.

somehow, no one needs you in the real reality though, oh f*ck, I'm gonna not be a vegetarian today and eat some animal, and a lowly scum like you will use that as an answer to justify your being. but hey, your excuses will be, since there are so many people as dumb as me, it's okay now.

since you don't know how to read, eco-system, and economy might be a related term, you none-human.

also, just fantastic proof that there are no such thing as domestic abuse, but hey, there are another group of masses that are too dumb to understand such idea, and boy, if there were more people like me, we'd just turn you into dogs so we stop hearing the bark.

by the way, what exactly does "Republicans, that are Americans, live in a different reality to most Americans mean" does that mean if the Republicans continues to occupy Washington D.C. then it's the reality? while you're just here scoping for information with tactics so dumb, that these words don't describe it, nor do them any justice.

Reminds me of New York. Where the Mayor is allowing the city to burn, businesses to be destroyed, and the homeless to take over blocks. Combined with the tax increases caused the wealthy to take their money and investments elsewhere. And after the poor decisions of that democrat city they want Trump to bail them out.

The simple and obvious answer is of course the economy is worse in terms of numbers all around the world due to Covid, including USA.

But I think Republicans tend to think about it in terms of economic health. Simpler business regulations along with sensible domestic and foreign policies that the Trump administration applied has led to a much healthier long term economic outlook, or so Republicans believes. Not without reason as the economy was really booming prior to Covid.

Strange, considering this poll: https://news.gallup.com/poll/1669/general-mood-country.aspx

Only 13% of Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in the US right now; lowest since 2011.

It was at 45% in February 2020 (highest since February 2005), and Trump was on his way to a landslide victory.

so you're saying, that when a surgery is performed, and the patient went from having an illness but was walking around, to having to sit in an hospital bed, it means the patient had gotten more ill is actually an inaccurate way to describe the events that took place?

when your losses are greater than the average American, you blame the president, so you can suck that tranny d*ck.

Even if Trump had shut down everything like he wanted, the unemployment numbers would have risen because of businesses shutting down. And that too, he would argue is trump's fault.

It was also "the lowest" under Obama. Both presidents used manipulated figures to toot their own horn. What makes Trump's claim more ridiculous is he rightly called Obama out on it and then hypocritically did the same once he became president.

Killing a baby that can't speak is a mortality rate of 100%. Nobody is intentionally trying to kill people with covid and is the death rate even 1%? It's certainly not 100% like baby murdering abortions.

Thanks for providing visual evidence that the left is offended and outraged by everything, especially when they hear what side Trump agrees with, that way the left can pick the opposite view and feel morally justified in melting down, throwing a tantrum like an enraged child.

humans would understand that just even from a terminology standpoint, the economy can not be a snap shot.

to quote a bitch who cant understand polls. "the flu in the past few years killed a lot of people, it's just no one talked about it"

so, none humans pretends that things such as the flu can be overcome by bodies natural response. so that they saved up their excuse to contribute negatively to the society when it comes to the economy because they dont have a brain to help recover but only cry like an animal.

The economy is always moving forward in one direction or another, so the state of the economy is always dependent on future possibilities. I agree with you that it's worse than 4 years ago, but I can understand why some would still consider the economy to be in a good state. They're hopeful Trump will get re-elected and that the covid hysteria will die down, combined with the fact that the world population is still increasing every day, meaning more people to consume and provide volume of overall spending power.

Russia has economic sanctions imposed on them every single day because of their actions. It was and still is a crazy time though, the Obama government had forced the Ukraine riots as well as funded the Ukrainian oligarch who was fighting Russian troops. Combine that with the Syria bombings, it means that they were running proxy wars against Russia both in Syria and Ukraine.

I definitely live in a different reality than you, in my reality it has meaning that China was running a coordinated dark social media campaign, starting in Italy just before their lockdowns, then moving across the West. At the same time that they were doing this covertly, publicly they were sending masks and other PPE to the countries who were locking down saying that China is with you and there to help.

Your argument that "most people think one way, so it has to be the right way" is the exact reason why someone would do a bot campaign like this, to say twitter trends and generate a picture of "this is what everyone is saying".

Combine these elements;

- "Everyone" on twitter says the same or is perceived that way, that you need to be really scared of this new virus.
- Everyone on the news saying the same, that you need to be really scared of this virus.
- Your favorite movie stars all saying the same, that you need to be really scared of this virus.
- Your favorite sports stars all saying the same, that you need to be really scared of this virus.

When all that happens at the same time, it's pretty hard to not be really scared of this virus.

You'll probably point to experts all saying this same thing as well, and that's a real conversation to be had. How could the Swedish CDC head do what he did compared to Fauci?

The international community is in full agreement that China botched the handling of SARS. So it's of no surprise that they would want to go over the top with Covid and then tell everybody about the lengths to which they're going(after they couldn't downplay it anymore that is). This isn't particularly nefarious besides the usual political PR China has been doing increasingly in the last decade like their Belt and Road stuff. They've gone from not caring what the World has to say about them and focusing on building their economy to caring what the World has to say and focusing on building their public image and influence.

Both of you guys could actually be Republicans AND not be delusional, you guys know that right?

Simple question, is the economy better or worse than it was 4 years ago? No need to turn yourselves into pretzels answering the question...:lol

and this is the reason I refuse to support the GOP, y'all living in an alternate reality than most Americans LMAO

How can the economy be as good as a few years ago during a global pandemic? It's horrible all over the world and only the billionaires are benefitting from it.

Good thing Trump lowered the taxes for them so they don't suffer too much for the billions though :lol

The bots did a lot more than praise China, instead they directly attacked various leaders who didn't want to impose a shutdown.


21/ @BorisJohnson initially opted for herd immunity. But on Mar 13, four days after Italy's lockdown, CCP began storming his feed, likening his plan to genocide. These words almost never appear in his feed before Mar 12.

Tragically, the abuse worked, and UK locked down Mar 23.


19/ South Dakota Governor @govkristinoem famously refused to issue a state lockdown.

Her decision didn't sit well with Beijing. CCP's army of fake accounts began filling her Twitter feed with abuse to punish her disobedience and pressure her to shut down her state.


24/ Hard to think of any place more ill-suited to a total lockdown than Africa, but that's exactly what CCP's fake accounts demanded of South African President @CyrilRamaphosa on March 22. The next day, they got what they wanted, and Ramaphosa announced a total lockdown.

lol, you are a psycho and probably the dumbest POS here.

congrats :applause:

and here you are, trying to prove yourself while the educated prove something

sure, it can be said that it is caused by the lack of leadership.

but the female body doesn't understand that time functions differently for the male than the female and yet still quoting another male

it's quite pathetic to see that the sex (female) that invented victimization, can't abandon such habit, and blaming those who properly label danger

feels good to know even the dumbest POS is far beyond your level though


it's not domestic terror, it's not domestic abuse, it's just a good ole fashion work out

You are ignoring context entirely, and ignoring explanations due to OMB syndrome. It's a pandemic, it was not a pandemic 4 years ago, trump(no matter how much you think he is) is not the cause of the pandemic. Ignoring that your countries economy was rising prior to this pandemic is just delusional though.

'Is the economy worse now than 4 years ago'

'yes, but it was better prior to a global pandemic'

'I don't need your excuses Trumps fault hahahaha'
