Hey conservatives: Wanna keep America from a socialist future? Offer something better!

Capitalism

Even Trump’s election shown that was not the case on the Right.

Trump pitched less unfettered capitalism and more economic nationalism (renegotiating NAFTA, trade wars with China), plus Trump went out of his way to defend welfare programs like Medicare and Social Security when the Paul Ryan-led traditional fiscal conservative faction of the GOP was pushing for reforming those programs in the interests of budgetary balance.

The CARES Act and the next round of coronavirus relief measures haven’t gotten a whole lot of attention around here on ImgFlip, but in those bills we’ve seen most of the GOP comfortable with spending shockingly large amounts.

The latest round of relief broke down over a disagreement between the Reps and the Dems over whether to spend $1 trillion or $3 trillion. Sure the GOP wants “less” but those are still shockingly large amounts, surpassing anything we saw during the ‘08 financial crisis.

And this time economic relief is more targeted toward working families that need it (direct payments, enhanced unemployment benefits) rather than simply bailing out big banks and corporations.

The worsening divide between rich and poor has not avoided influencing the Republican Party, either. It just manifested in a different way.

Well based on other things I've heard, you might be right. So here's to putting America first and helping American workers first.

Thing is...these are problems that have been happening for years. Idiots like you want to force socialism on the rest of us because you don’t even know what it is:

Tucker made the very basic point that unsustainable college debt, skyrocketing housing costs, and worsening job opportunities have made young people very discontent with the current state of things.

This article came out in Nov. 2019 but the same analysis holds true and goes double during the Covid crisis.

Wanna win young votes? Listen. Empathize. Offer a solution. Don’t scold.

Though I’d like nothing more than Trump out of office come next January, I feel comfortable offering this advice as I’m 100% confident it won’t be taken.

But this is how the GOP will need to rebuild going forward assuming the electoral disaster awaiting them in November comes to pass.

Eyyy I even avoided posting this reacc to Mr. [deleted] this time

Syd are you proud?

Yeah, I did throw ya boy Trump under the bus and I’m sure that upsets you but the issues in our country are broader than him

There is truth to some of this. The despair of never being able to afford the things that previous generations did. The ability to afford a car payment and rent complicated by the fact that there is much more to spend your money on than the previous generations had is a rising concern. The middle class has been under attack for decades now. When they are gone the communists take over. They are weakened but not gone and that will result in a rejection of the chaos Democrats promise on November. After that there needs to be a real assessment of how we build up the middle class.

This all came from Kylie_Alt89 aka KylieFan_89. She has claimed to be an anti-communist before but now she seems to be embracing it. Using an article from a year ago.

I agree to some degree about the problems associated with student loan debt, but she is a little too late to the party here. Which, figures since she is an idiot.
