So just no one cares about corruption in government or the president personally profiting off deals with foreign governments. Barely a word from the press about Trump meeting with Saudis and the PGA - just ho hum, fuck our constitution and the founding fathers. Let’s get McDonalds (so funny)

Remember when he owned a hotel in Washington D.C. and all the visiting foreign dignitaries knew they had to stay there if they wanted to incur favor with the U.S. President? That was true for Republican politicians and members of the private business community as well. Straight up graft.

you forgot "and he'll make people i don't like suffer!"

That is the basis of the Leopard party. These people don’t realize that others in the Leopard party don’t like them. They will tear themselves apart, a lot of good people that saw it coming will also suffer, but at least we can get some slight sense of satisfaction watching so many Leopards have their faces eaten along side us.

I don’t recall ever hearing a Democratic politician use the term “Latinx.”

Past tense. They were hungry. I've been studying Spanish on my own. Gratifying. I also ran it through google translate to be sure.

 

ETA It occurs to me that Spanish may be useful in our emerging banana republic. Caudillo Trump.

Are you kidding? Any language other than sixth grade level English will be verboten.

Tenian would work. They had, implying now they ate them and are satisfied or it is not longer an issue. Like they were deported thus they had. Kind of like paying Milton in Office Space. the problem just worked itself out.

@RDCanecutter  Concur?

Yeah they have. Republicans did not come up with it. And I do not know 1 latino (and I know a few) who like, appreciate, or use it for themselves.

The Dems backed away from it, but it was used and Latino/a's noticed.

Quote

Boomers generally think they can be a success on salaries just under $100,000 a year, while those born between 1965 and 1996 are closer to $200,000.

But the youngest workers, the Gen Z cohort, think they have to earn almost $600,000 a year to really make it. https://www.axios.com/2024/11/22/boomers-gen-z-millennials-financial-success

Gen Z is fucking retarded. Got it. 

Money is such a vital part of a person's level of success in life, but I honestly don't think many people understand it in the way that should matter most. The importance of money to me, and my goal, is literally just to have enough so I don't have to work anymore unless it's work I want to do. That's it. Money is freedom. Freedom from worrying about what you can or can't buy at a grocery store. Freedom to know I can pay rent. Freedom to retire some day. That's all fucking money is and should be.

Yeah, they backed away from the use. There are a few articles/studies showing Latino/as did not not like it so they made the shift. The tweet just shows that it was used. Even though removed from use, the idea that the term related direct to the Dems remained.

The line I was replying to is a poster could not remember it being used. Well the Latin community did.

I assumed @WhatTheBuck meant during this past election cycle and not “never in the history of life.”

Yes, Dems have used that language in the past but they stopped. Radical republicans kept bringing it up that it was being used and people believed them.

Yeah, they used that message and it worked. It was a tipping point for some I think.

If you grow up terminally online / within a social media landscape that deifies influencers, consumption, expensive things, plastic surgery perfection, and expensive living, then i don’t find this surprising at all.

Add that to housing prices and I think it makes sense.

What I can’t glean from this poll though is if it’s fatalistic or if it’s truly them not understanding needs vs wants vs costs (value of things AND the cost of time or education etc to make that kind of money)

One of the good things about Trump America is that at least we might get rid of pinche LatinX.
