President Joe Biden
and rococo my friends are well off you could say. one lives in million dollar mansion the other one gets huge paychecks as injured vet. if they lose 100k it's no big deal for them, well kinda. but imagine what the average Joe is going through now. he is completely ****ed if he doesn't make 100k a year.
and you know the majority lives under that threshold. the average family income is less than 50k a year and you know it. they can't even afford to go to burger king anymore, let alone have the gas money to get there.
that's reality now believe it or not.
not everyone is a lawyer, 99.9% are not that fortunate, ya know?
most are living paycheck by paycheck. with under a 1000 dollars in savings. that goes for more than half of your country. the former middle class is now the poor class. something went wrong...

What you are saying is possible but not likely to happen.
As you pointed out right now the Republicans are basically a party with no legislative agenda. Under Trump there wasn't even a party platform in the 2020 election. So their goal is to essentially maintain the laws that are on the books while the Supreme court rulings can undo what they don't like. And they can do this whoever controls the Senate because the Democrats are unlikely to get back to a 60 seat majority.
If they were to pass a law bypassing the Fillibuster it would be extremely likely that the Democrats would take back the Senate and House shortly thereafter and not only reverse that law but start on a path of progression that would limit the Republicans ability to maintain control in purple states. A Voting Acts law that limited the wait time on lines in elections (currently it takes more than 10 hours on line to vote in many Democratic leaning counties in Southern states) would quickly pass and allow Democrats to maintain control. Similarly gerrymandering could be addressed and disallow states that are showing a majority of votes for Democrats and a majority of Republican Congressman at the same time to no longer be allowed. Again this would affect purple states like Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, etc. And again it would strengthen Democratic advantages in the House.
That would be just the tip of the iceberg. Re-writing laws about Federal Regulation would follow as well to undo the recent conservative Supreme Court rulings on the EPA and other regulatory agencies.
And of course assault rifles sales would be banned and background checks for gun purchases would be extended to 100% of gun sales (which close to 90% of the US population supports). It is even possible that the law preventing lawsuits against US gun manufacturers would be reversed.
What would the ultimate point be for Republicans? To try to codify the Pro-Life Supreme Court decision so that it would apply to all 50 states? The irony of that would be that Abortions would rise anyway. The US War on Drugs has been an unmitigated 50 year failure. There is no way to prevent abortion because it can now be done successfully 99% of the time with a pill and no doctor visit. So instead of seeking medical support and risk public knowledge of pregnancy, women would be testing in private and making quick decisions to abort. And in Pro-choice states they would choose not to prosecute anyone at a State level which is essentially leaving things as they are without a Pro-Life federal law.
I hope the Republicans do get rid of the Fillibuster. It is a stupid rule that prevents us from moving forward as a country.

In the next 2,4,6 years If inflation keeps up, tax and IRS "reforms" actually do target the middle class, energy gets more and more unpredictable and expensive, crime and social breakdown continue to escalate, and the Democrat party keeps pushing race essentialism people are going to be voting Democrat? I am skeptical.
read the article. 88% and more than half say middle class gets ****ed by biden.

Here is the poll
The poll was taken in the end of June.
"The full sample is weighted for region, age, education, gender and race based on US Census information" but not economic status. The 88% that are saying the country has "gotten off on the wrong track" are not middle class. They are all respondents of the poll. For the 6 months prior the numbers have gone up from 51% in January to 88% in June. During Trump's presidency it peaked at 74% in mid 2020 and by Nov 2020 was down to 68% (maybe 4% has the sense that Biden would be President).
But its August now. And congress has just passed a bill that I'm guessing a lot of people in the poll will be happy about in terms of the Climate change (Global Warming), Obamacare, Medicaid, drug prices, federal spending, taxes, and inflation.
In other news, online prices have gone down by 1% in July 2022 (from prices in July 2021) for the first time in over 2 years. And gas prices are down about 20% in the last two months. Which should also have an impact on inflation.
Not sure how Trump helped the middle class other than allowing what Obama had done to continue. Trump's China Tariffs crippled a lot of US farmers. His handling of Covid led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and perhaps a greater economic downturn than was necessary. The one major piece of legislation in Trump's 4 year term was the tax cuts which basically didn't impact the Middle Class at all (over 90% went to stock buy backs/dividends which primarily helped wealthy investors and the companies themselves - they didn't affect prices or wages).
rising energy prices do hit the middle class the most, who else? they are the sole idiots having to spend all their money on energy. with that money they are supposed to save for the future. but no they can't do that now. they got f.
poor people on welfare don't have to worry about paying energy bills. they get that for the state. rich have enough.
so who really gets screwed over now?
mostly the middle class since they have no more room to move and their money power evaporates into nirvana.

I have to read and think you kinda have a lot of infos there.
all I can tell you is what I hear and observe now. the middle class is suffering the most. they are the ones having to lift all this bs and at the same time are the ones with the least room to do so.
economy was great under trump, wasn't it? stocks went up, people were happy. employment rose, people could go on vacation. now look now. it's going only in the opposite direction. everyone is complaining.
we have companies with a few employees. I get to hear stories all day if I want to. those people do not have enough to live anymore. can't do vacations, heck can't to jackshit anymore.. and they get an average middle class income. we pay what's standard for that kind of work sometimes give extra. it's still not an. not enough in all sectors or the economy. all people are suffering from this in Europe too. and these are people with what used to be good jobs! and plenty of income.
that was different a few years ago. and it hit the middle class like a nobody else. sure the poor too but they were used to poverty. we are talking poverty in the former middle class to make sure. and we can't even pay them more or we go broke. it's a big problem.

This 'but omg what would the GOP then do' fear, used to try and stop the Dems is just a way for many of those who like the status quo to protect the system from real changes and the Dem brass are happy to seize on that.
You are making giant assumptions the "progress" Democrats are trying to push will actually make things better, and the people will want it. When there is every indication much of it is making things worse and people are starting to be disillusioned by it very quickly. There is a world in the not very far post Trump future where Republicans can become the majority party very quickly, and Democrats will be very glad they have every tool at their disposal as a minority party to try to block the Republican agenda (such as it is).
In the next 2,4,6 years If inflation keeps up, tax and IRS "reforms" actually do target the middle class, energy gets more and more unpredictable and expensive, crime and social breakdown continue to escalate, and the Democrat party keeps pushing race essentialism people are going to be voting Democrat? I am skeptical.

If is US corporate interests and the wealthy elite that do not.
there is no denying that issue by issue most the Dem agenda items they put forth in election campaigns enjoys some of the highest levels of support across the country not just amongst Dems but also with Republicans and the unaffiliated. The only time you see any support drop is when it is framed in culture war type ways but stripped of that and just asked directly about the issues the US citizens want these changes.

Your post doesn't have much overlap with reality IMO.
Not sure how Trump helped the middle class other than allowing what Obama had done to continue. Trump's China Tariffs crippled a lot of US farmers. His handling of Covid led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and perhaps a greater economic downturn than was necessary. The one major piece of legislation in Trump's 4 year term was the tax cuts which basically didn't impact the Middle Class at all (over 90% went to stock buy backs/dividends which primarily helped wealthy investors and the companies themselves - they didn't affect prices or wages).
Where did you come up with trump caused a bigger economic downturn than a dem would have coming out of Covid? That seems border like insane after we saw what Biden did with spending and printing money and keeping parts of the economy shut down for far too long.
Site for your claim that “over 90% went to stock buy backs/dividends”?
one lost about 60k on wallsteet due to change of presidents and the other one about the same. (for one it is more due to inflation, not being able to spend so much anymore and loss of quality of life) but yeah both lost a big chunk of savings and it doesn't get any better when they have to pay a loot more for everything now.
Anti-political sentiment is so high in the U.S. right now that approval ratings are likely to be low for any sitting president, Republican or Democrat, for the foreseeable future.
I understand it wasn't your argument, so I am not asking you to defend it. Just pointing out a pretty big discrepancy IMO.
So The "the Inflation Reduction Act" announced a $7500 credit for buying EVs (courtesy of the taxpayer) and immediately Ford announces they will be increasing the price of F150 EVs that amount. Seems about right.

Cupee was making an argument the Democratic agenda is wildly popular. So your statement that anti-political sentiment is very high doesn't exactly gel with this argument, given Democrats control the executive and have small minorities in both houses.
I understand it wasn't your argument, so I am not asking you to defend it. Just pointing out a pretty big discrepancy IMO.

What that DOES NOT mean is sentiment for the politicians and process is high.
It can be true that a promise of $1MM cash would be popular with the individual promised it.
It can also be true that the non delivery post, would make sentiment towards the 'promisor' very poor.
That's not even close to reality. For example, median household income for married filers is around $100K.
Only around half of American adults are married. And they skew wealthy. So your stat doesn’t invalidate his argument at all. Quite the opposite.
but do the math, even 100k doesn't get you through nowadays.
let's make an example.
family in California, 2 kids- with 100k
house rent or mortgage= 3k/month (at least) probably more like 4k (you can't find a house under 3k now imo, not anywhere near a city)
that's 48k for housing alone, probably not incl. all costs)
then you need a car and gas=
probably another 20k a year
probably x 2 since you have two working people needing 2 cars.
food= 500/ a month per person?
that's 24k a year. and that's probably more like 6-800/ person/ month idk.
then you need to pay for school and vacation of the kids, also clothing etc., computer/phone/ sports
= 25k/per kid, if both kids go to a private school impossible.
oops, money is used up. can't live in California with that income. that's why you see working people living in trailer parks in California now btw. they come out of the car with suit and ties and they live in that car.
that's the middle class. I think they might have a hard time even in Iowa with 100k. they would have to buy a farm and do home schooling and growing food.
As you might imagine, I know a lot more than two people in the United States.
The policies of a sitting president don't typically have much impact on real time fluctuations in the stock market. Ditto for inflation. Inflation in the United States is a product of events that are outside the control of the U.S. government, and decisions by the government that span multiple administrations, including Trump's administration. For example, if you want to argue that we are experiencing inflation in the United States in part because we kept interest rates artificially low, that's fine. But I've been hearing that message for more than ten years, and Trump was as big a fan of the Fed keeping interest rates low as Obama was.

now is anything but typical, the US is in a major war in the middle of Europe. the sitting president seems to be a 80 year old who belongs in a retirement home and can't call any shots and if he does it seems to benefit the rich and never the poor or middle class. and most of the times he seems to not know what he is talking about. his son is going crazy around the world especially in Ukraine. all is nuts and we are killing our economy and worrying about a virus that kills 0.2 of the population, or how much was it?
your lawyer friends don't count as typical.
