@aloha-hoosier trump is a type. I’ve worked with that type. For that type. You have to have the emotional maturity to recognize it for what it is and deal with it.
goose stepper blockheads sent to sea are no match for it

LOL!
Ro is exceptionally bright. I don’t get it. Maybe just puts his political promotion above everything else and found a Dem lane and sticking to the script
He's a moron and getting punked by Cuban on X over this stupid tax scheme he's pushing. At the same time, I hope Cuban has some regrets about getting involved and shilling for that team.

Cuban are the types I can't stand the most. At least people like Bernie and AOC tell you who they are. Cuban claims to be a moderate, but he's a liberal. Just own it. The one good thing about socialists they eventually eat their own.
@snarlcakes smoked out, colonel! Well played. Per usual.
@dbmhoosier see my reply to bowl. People feel like they can’t catch up. Joe Biden and fauci ruined the American dream for most and Trump can’t fix it

And we imported a bunch of socialists the past several decades. Places like Haiti, South America, China, Somalia, and etc. aren't right wing free market capitalist countries like the U.S.
Americans generally don’t know what words mean. A failure of our education system.

Other polls show similar results. For example, a recent Gallup survey finds 54% have a positive view of "capitalism," but 81% say the same of "free enterprise." A December 2025 Napolitan News Service poll conducted by prominent conservative pollster Scott Rasmussen found 64% of respondents have a favorable view of the "free market," but only 53% say that of "capitalism." A Reason-Rupe poll reached a similar result back in 2015. In Echelon and some other polls, "capitalism" polls unusually badly among younger people, while "free market" mostly does not.
I suppose it’s theoretically possible people could support free market and free enterprise and dislike capitalism. Almost certainly they don’t know what the words actually mean. Or are ascribing things to a capitalism that shouldn’t be.

I would bet good money the recent immigrants by and large are not the ones telling pollsters they have a positive view of socialism.

Reminds me of those protest signs from a few years back (Obama years IIRC) saying "Keep your Socialist hands off my Medicare."
"The attraction of socialism is not that it works. It is that it looks virtuous. It is not. It promises security, fairness, dignity, and protection from the instability of the market. But by the time citizens realize that the promise was a trap, the state is already too large, too expensive, too interventionist, and too powerful to reverse easily."
"Artificial money creation is never neutral. It disproportionately benefits governments and owners of assets that can protect themselves from monetary inflation. At the same time, it always hurts real wages, deposit savings, and those with no assets. Politicians try to tell you that they can make the effect neutral through taxation, government transfers, and expropriation. However, it is only a trick to make workers and small earners more dependent on a state that never fulfills the promise of easy money, because impoverishment does not change course; it accelerates.
Big government makes you poor and bigger government makes you poorer."

Turley hits on the above in his recent column
https://jonathanturley.org/2026/08/17/for-the-american-left-nothing-succeeds-as-much-as-failure/
"This pattern of success through failure has manifested itself on an even larger scale in history. Socialists often destroy economic conditions, resulting in greater unemployment and greater demand for government subsidies. That expansion of government power continues until conditions grow so severe that emergency actions are needed."

It's b/c we allow everyone to vote. We'll be the frogs that vote ourselves into the pot.
@larsiu well my business shit is starting to fall into place very very nicely. So I have no doubt something bad is coming. Socialism. Trump nukes Iran.
@aloha-hoosier you may dislike the party leadership and I can see why. However, you can look across aisle and see the pure insanity that is brewing and will be the main stream soon. You can’t leave now.
