Remember, please,
Original post: To those who vote on economic issues: “Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. I swear I checked this three times. . . . What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans 1.” --Bill Clinton at the DNC in 2024. To everyone: Please repeat this every single day. Additional text: And there's this--please repeat this frequently to whomever you can: Clinton=Record job creation, balanced budget, surplus to pay off debt. And there's this--please repeat this frequently to whomever you can: BUSH=HUGE DEFICITS, DEBT, RECESSION. Obama=End of econ crisis, deficit shrinking, record job creation. TRUMP=ECONOMIC CRISIS WORSEND BY HIS COVID BUNGLING. Biden=Econ crisis managed, record job creation. TRUMP=ECONOMIC DISASTER. ‪Jobs slashed. Prices and taxes raised. [Tariffs put in place by the US are taxes—on the American people]. Next up, funnel more of Americans’ money to those who already have most of it. --Idiotic/Insane (like a Fox) Economics: 2025 Edition. Stop finding excuses: it’s obvious when an American doesn’t simply have an admiration or affinity for Vlad the Corruptor—but is acting as his subject, servant, vassal. It doesn’t take a genius to figure this out. The evidence is overwhelming and in nearly every posture, position, and policy pushed. A subservient/vassal US president would, of course, follow Russian orders to have the United States threaten its neighbors and position itself to break apart NATO (thereby giving cover for Russia attacking Ukraine and elsewhere and for China potentially attacking Taiwan), and take down the US’s juggernaut economy numerous notches, and shrink the global relationship-building power of the US’s international aid, and have the US start a global trade war.

When an authoritarian dissolves a legislative body, they do not intend to bring that same thing back. -- WWVD (What would Vlad do?): Have kompromat in his possession about subjects like Epstein in order to control a U.S. President over many years? Have the U.S. Congress dissolved and/or make it more like the Duma? What would Vlad do or desire (WWVD): Take down the US’s juggernaut economy numerous notches? Shrink the global relationship-building power of the US’s international aid? Have the US start a global trade war? (It’s not only about the US threatening to take over its neighbors and break its alliances.) -- Let’s not use outdated and misleading labels like “reactionary” when what we have long been faced with is more accurately and more meaningfully termed “regressive.” -- Let’s not use labels like “conservative,” “originalist,” “textualist,” etc. when what we have long been faced with is simply single-minded, partisan [insert party name]-ism. -- Those who force their policies upon a population feel insecure about whether their policies are sound— or else they simply don’t care that they are not. -- Let’s stop simply saying, “tariffs,” and take care every time just to say, “taxes,” or let’s say, “tariff-taxes,” a redundancy that creates a needed emphasis. And/or fill in the following blank with a name, “_____’s tariff-taxes,” every time, please. -- To those who vote on economic issues: “Since the end of the Cold War in 1989, America has created about 51 million new jobs. I swear I checked this three times. . . . What’s the score? Democrats 50, Republicans 1.” --Bill Clinton at the DNC in 2024. To everyone: Please repeat this every single day. -- Clinton=Record job creation, balanced budget, surplus to pay off debt. BUSH=BIG DEFICITS, DEBT, RECESSION. Obama=End of econ. crisis, deficit shrinking, record job creation. TRUMP=ECONOMIC CRISIS WORSEND BY HIS COVID BUNGLING. Biden=Econ. crisis managed, record job creation. TRUMP=ECONOMIC DISASTER.

In a nation with a president, a vice president, and a speaker of the House, among others, who often sanctimoniously tout supposedly being Christian, one must ask if a person can actually be such while flat out lying to the public essentially every day. -- If you do not care about the well-beings of all of your fellow human beings, are you Christian? If you are driven by hate against your fellow human beings, are you Christian? -- WWVD (What would Vlad do?): Have kompromat in his possession about subjects like Epstein in order to control a U.S. President over many years?

Let’s always remember the almost countless discriminatory POLICIES and PRACTICES across the US's history/present—in housing; banking; hiring; policing; drug criminalization; court systems; education; health care; expressway/highway, heavy industry, and waste management planning; and on and on.
To proclaim US cities as dens of crime caused by their residents’ current democratically elected party-based officials is to admit you know nothing (or else it is to lie) about the socioeconomic effects of discrimination across American history. We could have far better policies and practices that serve everyone.

Some Further Points
Further Points Regarding Insecurity It is the insecure who fret about constructs like manhood and masculinity supposedly being attacked; others tend to define these terms within themselves, and they do not clamor to meet imagined parameters around persons they feel are the same or better nor do they demand sameness from others whom some might see as similar or lesser. This post is, in part, related to the following earlier post: Let’s not call people “strongmen,” especially when they are obviously insecure, which is why they covet power in the first place: such insecure-men take all of the unjust, antidemocratic, inhumane, and sociopathic actions that they do because they feel insecure in their positions and their largely illegitimate grips on power. @TDPowers.bsky.social

What would Vlad desire?
Weaken the US’s name, currency, economy, stability, reliability, alliances, national security, military, Congress, Constitution, judiciary, international aid, diplomacy, democracy, and moral standing; spread disinformation; make more vulnerable the American people’s personal information and classified information; threaten neighbors and the takeover of other regions; wage a global trade war; and incite internal divisions?

Orwellian world:
Project 2025 Project 1984 When a party’s “priests of power” say, “WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strength is ignorance “Slavery is freedom” Peace is war, what is your response? “Was it possible that [people] could swallow [the party’s lying]? . . . Yes, they swallowed it.” “Have you forgotten about doublethink?” Or, the “memory hole”? In the light of all that has been happening in recent years to control news, books, and information itself, consider another slogan or modus operandi of a party worshiping power: “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.” “Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull.” However, “[t]houghtcrime was not a thing that could be concealed forever.” (Orwell, George. 1984.
