The chaos that comes with a Trump presidency is probably the hardest part for working class people to mitigate. What I mean by that is even with bad federal policies, people/businesses can often adapt reasonably well if they're given enough time and accurate information to plan ahead.
During Trump's last term, there was one year where his / Republican policies devastated the soybean market. It was bad around here. Only the very luckiest soybean growers managed to break even. The rest took heavy losses, some even left their soybeans unharvested that year. Those farmers plan months in advance before even planting a single seed. Only for policies to change underneath them after the plants are already well on their way to maturity.
This time around it's far more chaotic than his first term, which is saying A LOT. Last time he at least had somewhat of an excuse because of the COVID pandemic. This time around, it's 100% due to his own making.
he still had a semi-competent cabinet, plus the houses were still able to pushback against him, this time they are all bootlickers and sycophants right down to the houses.
"Last time he at least had somewhat of an excuse because of the COVID pandemic. This time around, it's 100% due to his own making"
And this time, it'll be worse than COVID. Even better, we'll have even more lovely diseases spreading across the planet. All while a war that didn't need to happen will have escalated to a fever pitch.
All of which was easily preventable, beeteedubs.
covid is still be largely ignored , and people acted like it never existed. but the last years strain was causing much more severe symptoms than usual. and we have to flu getting worst.
