Dammit, it was right in front of me the whole time.

I'm sticking with complify as the opposite of simplify though

[–] tomenzgg@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Why you always gotta go and make things so complified…

The effect of the oligarch’s mishandling of our economy are affecting the performance of our retirement investments.

I personally have a hard time defining/explaining words, except through an example.

There's no way anyone could have predicted this

I had this exact conversation with my MIL just yesterday. She voted for him, and she hit me with "This is so unexpected". I told her no, no it wasn't, everyone who was paying attention saw this coming a mile away, nothing could be more predictable.

She is an immigrant and not particularly well informed politically. I went on to explain the predictable cycle of Republican presidents leading to market crashes which the wealthy use to buy up assets for cheap, and indicated to Project 2025 which was published well in advance of the election. She seemed to respond as if I had given her valid information that she lacked before (which wasn't really the case, we'd talked about this well before November). But she didn't really have any pushback or response, she mostly seemed quiet and contemplative.

Nevermind the fact the he straight campaigned of levying tariffs on everyone, as well as crashing the economy to "correct" it. I've brought it up to a few trumpets over the weekend and they just keep saying how they thought he was joking to own the libs?!???

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

If I could strike any phrase from the human lexicon, it would be ”owning the libs” or any variation with similar meaning and/or intent.

Yeah we get it, you’re so petty that you don’t give a goddamned what happens to anyone (including yourselves), so long as you get to sit on your high horse laughing like Nelson from The Simpsons. Congrats. Now go away.

[–] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well, I suppose that's a good thing.

They will have forgotten all of this by next week, when the US is invading Greenland

He says it like it is, but I promise, you're looking waaay too much into what he says !

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, like maybe telling everybody he was going to do this if he were elected.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ironically a politician who is true to their word. 🤢
