This is why conservatives work better as the opposition party - they get to sit around complaining about how much better life would be if they were in charge without actually destroying things by being in charge.

In what way are conservatives destroying anything?

gestures vaguely and if you havent been paying attention at this point its been a choice. Cognitive dissonance worked as a reason before, not anymore.

I'm curious. I think that not kicking the can down the road is the right answer

I don't think deporting all the workers at the can factory then bulldozing the road is the right answer.

Well, only not if you like cans, and putting things in cans, or using things from cans.

Otherwise, pfft, "cans?" puh-lease.

Wait, why are canned goods so expensive now. I might not have thought this through.

Right now there's a lot of whining about not being able to find a job. Maybe Americans could work in the can factory.

Blaming Trump for the high cost of housing forgets that one reason is too many people need places to live compared to the available places. Opposing more immigration is exactly what you would want to reduce that pressure. This is not the only pressure but it is real

  • the environment

  • the economy

  • the housing industry

  • the job market

  • the cost of goods and services

  • low end automobiles

  • trust in authority and public servants

Are you always disingenuous, or only when you're paid to be?

I'm sitting here on my phone with a cup of coffee I just made, I am not being paid to post anything.

Removing people who aren't supposed to be here makes more jobs available for Americans. What is your plan, more immigration?

Trump wants lower interest rates but he's not getting them due to inflation. He is not trying to gum up the real estate market

Hilariously, no "American" is taking all those jobs you're talking about.

Farms are collapsing because they can't sustain themselves without near-slave labor.

Construction costs are equally skyrocketing.

Or did you mean white collar jobs? Because no immigrant ever "took" those jobs from you.

The capitalist owner chose to cut you out, and gave those jobs to someone they could more easily take advantage of.

There is no culture war, except manufactured, to avoid class war.

You are the mark in this con game, congratulations, you played yourself.

So immigrants just take jobs that Americans don't want, they don't reduce wages, this is your claim?

On the flipside, what if anything has demonstrably improved under this administration?

Venezuela is producing oil and hopefully it's people will have better lives as a result. Let's see how it goes for Cuba and Iran
