Remember it didn't have to be this way

Remember how this administration decided to prioritize foreign policy and pleasing the boomer neocon crowd at FOX News by prioritizing foreign entanglements in Ukraine, Iran, and Venezuela instead of pleasing the younger disaffected men who carried Trump to victory last year. He negotiated peace in the biggest quagmire in the middle east and got no approval bump. Because it’s a LOSER issue.

Remember how this administratoin has done nothing to address the difficulty that younger adults have to find a job because they are doing nothing about work visa abuse and continue to allow Indians and foreigners to flood the job market, locking out US college grads and transforming entire towns while Americans suffer

Trump has primarily focused on boomercon foreign policy concerns so far in his administration and his approval rating is at all time lows because of it. The MAGA base is with the youth wing of the party, not the FOX News watching boomercon. They don’t give a shite about foreign conflicts, they only care about our problems at home. Immigration, ending H1Bs, stopping off-shoring of our jobs, fixing Democrat corruption, and putting the deep state in prison. These are political WINNERS that will move the needle.

You are largely correct.

Trump's foreign accomplishments are laudable and very important. But they are not tangible and Americans, by and large, don't care that much. We are an insular people.

I think Trump has done a pretty good job on the economy.

But if Republicans do not find tangible fixes to things like the exploding costs of insurance, healthcare, other goods, and accelerate the economic recovery...

then they will lose significantly next year. Most likely the House and the Senate. Hakeem Jeffries has already said that Kristi Noem will be the first Trump official to be impeached.

Trump's second term will be a 2 year term.

Trump and the Republicans need to focus like a laser on the US economy and affordability.

Have you not been following his admin's "kinetic actions" in Venezuela and the rabid, emotional support on here?

Hell, did you hear his threats against Nigeria with the same seal clapping involved?

Neocon bullshite thrown out exactly as GN has described.

It's the economy, stupid

The economy has always been the 800-lb elephant in the room, with a likely crash some time during the Presidency. The admin has not exactly addressed things and focused on inefficient economic plans like tariffs, ignoring fundamental cracks opening in one of our most important industries (tech).

You can't justify all the H1Bs if tech is laying off 6-figures of workers. Those layoffs show the H1B policies are not needed.

You are not wrong.

Do you mean when they don't win in 70% Dem territory. I won't laugh too hard when NY becomes Detroit

Who ties your shoelaces for you?

Im too lazy to link all the job layoffs this year in Tech but all those roles that aren't filled with AI will be filled with H1B.

H1B is effectively killing the Middle Class from the top and COL via healthcare, commodities is killing the Middle Class from the bottom.

In a boom I'm fine with H1B but we're in the opposite so the program needs to end. We're in a tech recession so it needs to end.

This silly "$100k application fee" is such a bait and switch, when Trump can just end the program entirely and send many back ASAP. Trump has developed this successful meme where he creates policies that raise insignificant amounts of money and NPCs push it like he solved the budget crisis, ignoring the underlying policy issues at play.

Post 2016 lots of uneducated trade baws. You even see their NPC talkign points ITT.

Creating a society where American men are pushed to be plumbers for the rich progeny of H1B makes no sense and is the opposite of America First

Man, you're really good at prognostication with these sources. Wondered if you might be able to help me out here... What do your sources say the score of the LSU at Alabama game will be this weekend?

Im not surprised that you are getting downvotes.

Boomers and Xers are insulated from the true state of the economy. The value of assets are high, because our government for decades now has prioritized protection of asset prices more than anything else.

The production side of the economy is downright terrible and the government(still run by boomers and Xers) doesnt care one bit. Why would they want their banks taking risks to lend on production(new business) when they can continue to lend on assets which carry no risk because the government has absorbed almost all of that risk. Go to a bank to get a loan to start a new business...unless you have a mountain of collateral, good luck.

On top of that we still have foreigners being shipped in from India to undercut wages in the few white collar jobs available.

For the time being, I dont think this has turned away young men from voting GOP because the alternative is straight up detestable. It has tempered enthusiasm for sure. Will that result in less votes, probably.

Imagine thinking nonwhites voted for Trump for interventions and special relationships. They voted for populism, B/C they believed it when he said, "America First". They don't give two shits about Ukraine, Iran, Israel, etc. They care about the cost of living, accountability.

What is that guy talking about?

Inflation is below the “experts” predictions as to where they thought it should be right now.

Stock market at record highs

Fuel prices again is lower

Law enforcement surges arresting criminals in a few cities.

Criminal aliens being deported and others are self deporting

Border is secure.

More tax cuts pushed into law

Unemployment rate at or near full employment levels

Tons of foreign investment in the US is currently committed

Wasteful contracts still associated with Covid terminated resulting in substantial savings

Wasteful and redundant spending terminated resulting in billions in savings

The idiotic EV mandates being rolled back and regulations also being rolled back in the automotive industry.

Ending DEI initiatives

Stopped the fed gov from being an advocate of men in women’s sports

Ending federal funding for children’s “gender reassignment”.

Withdrawal of the U.S. from the WHO ending that moneypit of ideology.

Ending harmful food dyes from US food production.

And on and on and on. This in less than a year.

Just because the garbage, trash, opinionated based media isn’t reporting anything good. It doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.
