The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"It is way too easy to blame the voters. Trump distanced himself clearly from Project 2025. Their fault, if trust is a fault, was to take that liar at his word. Nobody "really" knew what he would do, probably including himself.
Regardless, Biden was an old senile fool, and Kamala an empty vessel, who did not understand what Americans wanted and needed. Biden could have backed up Powell with a tighter fiscal policy and tamped down inflation in 2022 or earlier, but no Democrat understands how to NOT tax and spend.
Same with immigration. Vance wasn't too far off in saying that too many people were taking advantage of tge deliberately loose asylum process, and Biden/Harris had let in too many people with dubious claims of persecution."


Thank you for properly demonstrating my point about the electorate being too easily fooled and too lazy to educate themselves.

Your statements are laughably ignorant. You made numerous posts before the election that showed a clear lack of understanding about actual facts (such as your statement about immigration) and numerous people corrected you each and every time. You ignored all of that. Yes, you are responsible for your vote. Only you, and you did not take that responsibility seriously. You were lazy, didn't care about facts, didn't care about what it meant. You are the reason the world no longer trusts America.
