LastInLine posted:That's not inflation. This isn't the thread for the discussion, but suffice to say that at its core, the fact that tens of trillions of dollars can be dumped into the economy only at the very top while the CPI stays relatively constant is proof that none of that money is circulating. Wrong. Pete Buttigieg campaigned in part on tbe deficit lol

Staring at a salami today I suddenly remembered Trump Steaks and like they were so glorious and meaty and glistering and I don't know and media was all but they don't exist and Trump's like here's some and has this loving table of meats with his logo on them and media's like fukken got you these are just steak you bought and slapped your logo on and nobody cared and Trump became president and basically nothing's real   I regret a little not staying up and watching the countdown but everyone was so sure that Hillary would win. Oh well.

Maybe it's because I'm not out in the wilds of Chudland but rather the fringes, I feel like most people have a pretty accurate assessment of the guy. The problem is they like what they see, not that they're seeing some idealized vision. it is both of those things. they see that he’s a big fat racist dumbass and love it and also think he’s a business genius getting poo poo done and a good Christian at the same time. thread material: Rand Paul getting his rear end beat because he kept dumping brush in his neighbors yard and right wingers speculating that his rich dentist neighbor was secretly antifa

2016 election night threads are wild retrospective reads. Lots of posters jackin off over the thought of Florida going blue or chastising other posters for arzying and then slowly realizing that something isn't right before falling into total despair.

I went to bed early "knowing" (cynically, not as a calculated prediction) that that Trump would win, woke up, and went "welp." Then I proceeded to have an ongoing years-long meltdown as my brain cracked and pinged multiple times a day and I reexamined every single thing I thought I knew or valued about, well, everything.
