Maybe because some people are in a wait and see mode. I look out further than a one day event or "perhaps everything gets more expensive". The markets have a tendency to react wildly at uncertainty. If the market continues to sink and prices rise and it appears the world won't come to a reasonable agreement about tariffs in a few months THEN I will criticize Trump. The problem with the left is it wants to critique before knowing the outcome.

Need to differentiate between the people of Iran and the psychotic regime controlling them in Iran. I think most of the people of Iran would choose a return of the Shah if it meant getting rid of the nutty suicidal mullahs.

"""“The American dream is not ‘let them eat flat screens,’” he said, arguing that it is instead about having good jobs that are not lost to foreign competition and wages that are high enough to afford homes.""" Is this wrong? Is the dream to have the latest iPhone and hip clothes and wonder if you will be able to educate your children? Or is job stability and earning enough to own a home more important?

I was a lot more frightened when Kamala was VP.

Why do people start threads that are false on basic premise?

Not sure of your point. Your message omits a large percentage of people so no total can be reached. BTW I had no point other than a quick google to discover if the percentage of 4% was real (which I do not believe but whatever). As I said I did a quick google. I'm OK if you find a different source and different result.

I was curious about the 4% and did a quick google. Seems it is more like 1.7%. https://www.wral.com/story/fact-check-mace-says-people-either-have-xx-or-xy-chromosomes/21876510/

It isn't just the media. The DEM party regularly makes unhinged statements and displays outright hatred of any leader from the GOP party. They did it to Bush W and are in overdrive now against Trump. Prediction - whoever wins the nomination for the GOP party for POTUS in 2028 will instantly be categorized as worse than spoiled milk by the leftist medias and DEM party. Gets tiresome that they don't actually try proposing some issue related solutions to very real problems such as controlling spending before we are bankrupt or as one astute former DEM politician once said "It's the economy stupid".

Really sad that people believe the nonsense some sources promote. Then act surprised when rational people don't buy the nonsense.

Happens a lot here in the USA. Lia Thomas is one such example.

A lot of that is more information. In the 50s 60s even the 70s much of the problems of the world were not reported in "our world news". So an uprising in Cambodia didn't impact us. Murder of 1000s in Africa between tribes never made the news. Now every world woe is front and center. I can see why the current generations think the world is horrible. But it isn't really new.

But they ended the draft when I turned 18 which made me VERY lucky as a HS drop out. Pretty sure the army would have loved me.

Thank <deleted> you didn't act confused about Motown. I mean COME ON. Motown baby. 😃

I was lucky to be born in 1955. 😃
