    Well, I hope they enjoy it.

    On the chopping block:

    • Social Security that has been paid into with the social contract that they will have some for their retirement
    • Medicare
    • Medicaid

    Trump promised to lower cost of living by checks notes imposing tariffs on their major trading partners, hint: tariffs are paid by the company importing and ultimately by the citizens. None of the trading partners will take it, they will impose their own.

    Hopefully there will be a next election and hopefully relations can be repaired

      All of those were on the chopping block. Remember we froze discretionary spending in year 2 of Biden. He called it a win for America.

      Trump did tariffs in year 1, Biden left them, and added more.

      So, yes, people voted to disrupt the status quo, in which they starve. Will they still starve? Probably, but the change was a chance for it to be different, rather than a 0 chance.
