    I mean, Covid-19? Our handling of that was a disaster, and it hardened support.

    What would be enough of a shock, even theoretically?

    WWIII? A US Tiananmen Square? I don’t think anything short of nuclear war would cut it, and even then his polls would only fall like 20%.

      Trump should absolutely lower the price of evertyhing. Pressure the federal reserve to hike the prime rate to 25%, push us straight into a depression, and watch just how fast the price of eggs and gas plummets.

      I mean, lower prices are the most important thing apparently and since the majority of Americans want that at all costs, this strategy should be ok with them, right?

        Honestly… yeah. Literally.

        Make it even simpler, just send everyone a check with Trump’s face on it like during Covid.

        Most Americans don’t really understand macroeconomics and are just looking at super-market prices for their next meal and trip. And those covid checks worked, people freaking loved Trump for that.

        The average voter will blame the Dems for the economic issues that Republicans cause, like they always do.

      What if there was a mass shooting every day until we enacted gun control laws that prevented them?

        Depends on where it is and how many old white republiQans it takes down. Also, no.
