A better economy vs. terrible inflation caused by Kamala because she voted to move the US bailout? The fact is that this plan was responsible for providing much needed financial relief to those devastated by COVID, allowing small businesses, individual families, corporations to recover from a desperate time of lost jobs, closed businesses, etc., allowing us to avoid a much predicted recession or great depression and have a surprisingly soft landing economically.
Fact-checkers say that while this relief plan has raised inflation, it’s only by a few percentage points. What was most responsible for the high inflation was supply chain shortages due to COVID shutdowns along with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. And now our economy is considered the envy of the world.
Anyway, the reasons why we can’t vote for Trump are extremely serious and come straight from his mouth. He has become totally unhinged, mentally unfit and dangerously vengeful. Watch one of his rallies. He attacks everyone with false accusations and, modeled after Hitler, dehumanizes migrants as vermin or monsters, making them our modern scapegoats responsible for all our problems.
He praises and envies brutal dictators like Kim, Putin or Orbán. He has promised to destroy our constitution; to invoke the Anti-Alien Act to put dissenters at risk and declare martial law, pitting our military against our own citizens to maintain order. Project 2025 confirms his authoritarian plans.
Those who protested the lack of freedom during COVID (mandatory masks or vaccines) better buckle up! You haven’t seen anything yet! Prepare to lose all of your constitutional rights and freedoms, especially if you are a woman, a person of color, LGBTQ+, an immigrant, a Muslim, a Jew, or…?
