This is just what I’m seeing where I live, but it looks like the trend is national.x.com

From what I see, salaried workers with liberal arts degrees hate trump, and will vote Biden even though they don’t really like him at all.
Hourly paid, non college educated workers, across racial and other group lines support trump. Married couples with school aged children in my area are also way more likely to have a trump sign than a Biden sign in their yard.
Fuel, groceries, and everything else have failed to return to pre pandemic prices. People that have the nerve to be struggling now with the same “good” job that used to pay for multiple vacations 10 years ago are told the economy is great.
oh yes.
because prices go down under our current capitalistic society.
not going to happen regardless of the president.
you're just fooling yourself

Your beef is with central banking/fiat currency. Capitalism doesn’t cause inflation, an increase in money supply does.oh yes.

Capitalism doesn’t require or cause “endless growth”,
Plenty of family owned businesses don’t count on growth at all.
The problem is fascism. Which Mussolini said was the merger of state and corporate power, just like modern America.

If you’re going to make up your own definitions to suit the narrative you’ve been fed, discussion is pointless. It’s like talking to a religious convert.New Groundwork Report Finds Corporate Profits Driving More Than Half of Inflation

Fascist movements historically speaking gain power when there is economic turmoil aka when capitalism is failing. This isn't made up, it's an accepted historical understanding of how fascist movements come to be.
"Cronyism" operates under capitalism lol. It does not change the fact that it's still capitalism. Get rid of "cronyism" and you'll be right back in this position in a hundred years where capitalism devolves into cronyism and fascism.

Trump lawyer Todd Blanche continued to grill Cohen for a third day of cross-examination and sought to depict the prosecution’s key witness as an opportunist who wants to make money off of his relationship with Trump. One of the most revealing pieces of information was that Cohen admitted under oath to stealing from the Trump Organization, pocketing part of an amount included in his $420,000 reimbursement payments owed to a tech firm that rigged online polls in favor of Trump.
an asshole
