BlueFairyVA3Immiseration is what this administration is all about. Impoverishing Americans, and creating a durable and unremovable class of entitled billionaires who run our lives in ways that we don’t even understand. Remember when we actually had an enviable standard of living? No more. #downwardspiral
corgilover129.bsky.social2Little faith? Our current govt did this to us on purpose to gouge the american citizens for the profit of corporations. Trump, I’m sure got a taste.
The Good Witch2"While 49% of Republicans said the economy was getting better in February, just 27% said the same in the new poll. Meanwhile, 38% of Republicans say the economy is now getting worse compared with 22% who said the same in February."
Groceries are still too expensive, gas prices are high, and we are still waiting on the truth. Inflation is up while healthcare stays out of reach. We are still face down in the dirt just like Mr. Bean. #CantAffordTrump #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

luq73.bsky.social3Only person responsible. Trump. He is conning billions of our tax $$$$'s to himself and his family. Republicans are gifting OUR tax $$$$'s to trump.
Canucker🇨🇦3I hear the Epstein class is making mad bank.
Atticus2Time to revive that famous Reagan refrain, "Are you better off than you were [two] years ago?". www.youtube.com/shorts/jmFIX...
glenallen06040.bsky.social2Of course the economy is worsening & EVERYONE sees it. 100% of EVERYONE. Those that will not admit it out of loyalty to Trump are fools because it doesn’t need to be this way. Trump created this. Trumps lack of understanding how tariffs work should have been a wake up call to Republicans.
Lance Steel1"Sure, you might be worse off than one year ago and we are stealing your tax dollars and funneling them to Trump and other billionaires and we are doing nothing to help you but what are you going to do, vote for a dirty, commie dumbocrat?" - Republicans
Big J1But the White House keeps posting that more Americans than ever have vast wealth and live the American Dream! Oh, right, lies. The White House just lies. I forgot.
