    During the 2024 presidential race, Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that the U.S. economy was terrible under then-President Joe Biden and then-Vice President Kamala Harris. But according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) figures, unemployment stayed under 4.0 percent from February 2022 through April 2024.

    Yet again the reporters show they do not understand the average person. Pop quiz hotshot: If employment is low but we still can’t make ends meet, will we support the incumbent party?

    Wolfe and Pinsker cite 58-year-old Paul Bisson as an example of someone who voted for Trump in 2024 but now has reservations about his economic policies, including tariffs.

    Bisson told WSJ, “I don’t like the turbulence. I don’t like the chaos in the market…. That will make the economy worse, and that’s not what we signed up for. We’ve already cut back. There’s no more cutting back to do.”

    Boo fucking hoo, ya dumbshit

    Nicholas Schuch, a 38-year-old Durham, North Carolina resident who voted for Harris… is thinking of moving to a country he believes has a better monetary policy.

    Schuch told WSJ, “I was thinking Switzerland, potentially…. I just expect things will be chaotic, and that that is what life is now.”

    The only smart person mentioned in the article and it’s because he’s aware of how well the Swiss do when there’s a surge in fascism.
