 BF>> Are you really that stupid?

 GD> How typical of you, throwing around insults where I am not remotely
 GD> insulted.

   Insults? I just asked you a simple question. If you're not that stupid, you certainly are unlucky when thinking.

 GD> The Inflation Reduction sounds nice, but has accomplished nothing,

   And you know this how? Because your cult members say so? A simple google for "us inflation" will show you graph after graph, showing that when that act was signed the US inflation was 7% and then got down to half of that, and has staid there evver since. How's that for an accomplishment?

 GD> you can't print your way out of inflation.

   Of course not. It's a GLOBAL inflation, only a stupid person does not understand what that means for any country's NATIONAL inflation.

 GD> People are still struggling.

   What people? It seems like that is yet another lie, spread by the MAGA cult leaders. You yourself is doing fine, but everyone else is struggling?

 GD> The results with what is in the grocery bags as the American
 GD> consumer drives home is less and less groceries from the supermarket.

   More stupidity revealed. So when supermarkets could blame the 7% inflation, they raised their products by 7%, right?

   So, let's say something costs $10 when they buy it. Then, because of inflation, it suddenly cost 70c more to buy. After they added their 30% profit it sold for $13, but should now cost $13.70, are you following?

   But it costs +7% of not $10 but of $13 more ("blame it on Biden's inflation") i.e. $14.70 -- that's 37%!! Is that Biden's fault too?

   And have you seen prices go down 37% lately? Do you think they will volontarily give up this new income, that easy? Only a stupid person will think so. Or a person brainwashed into not practising Critical Thinking.

 GD> Pork is always in these bills - they cant help themselves to take care

   Trump's $1.9T TCJA was just that. But name a single one of the many bills that was NOT targeting the US people, and not the filthy rich, like the TCJA.

 GD> I do not know how it works in Sweden, but here everyone is innocent
 GD> until proven guilty.

   Oh, you don't know? Well, I guess it'll come as a big surprise then, when you find out that he HAS been convicted.

 GD> Your data is not accurate. 51% of the population are in Support of Trump.

   It's your interpretation of data that is flawed. 51% of the US population is 175M. If you think that they are all in support of Trump, I've got a bridge to sell to you.

   But you are right, I got the data wrong because I assumed that voter turnout was the usual 50%, when in fact it was an impressive 66%. They really was anxious to get rid of the Orange Idiot before he could cause more damage to the country. Anyway, half of two thirds is 33%, so a little more than my 25%.

Conning people is easy. You just need to overcome their intelligence. But convincing people they've been conned is much harder. You need to overcome their pride.
