You were told that your problems were caused by immigrants.
The border is sealed up. A goon squad is terrorizing neighborhoods. Job sites are being raided. Even courthouses and preschools can't escape the chaos.
Your life didn't get better.

The Epstein files are such a hoax that the Trump administration is working harder on keeping the files secret than they are on solving the economy, jobs, national debt, healthcare, education, trade agreements, inflation, unemployment, or the cost of housing.

If you want to save America hundreds of billions of dollars every year on healthcare, you enact universal healthcare.
If you want to make middle-class Americans suffer, you get rid of the ACA premium subsidies.

153,000 people were laid off in October, bringing the total for the year to 1.1 million. The worst year since 2020, the last time Trump was president.
Unemployment has risen to 4.4%, estimated by the Chicago FED.
Republicans control the entire federal government, and this is the result.

The best thing Republicans can hope for is that the Supreme Court rules against Trump's tariffs.
Ending the tariffs will give the economy a chance to improve before the midterms.
Republicans will then pretend they improved the economy, despite their efforts to destroy it.

Instead of taking some time for introspection over why Republicans are losing elections, why the president's approval rating is abysmal, and why the American people are looking for change, the GOP resorts to the one thing it knows best: fearmongering.

Speaker Johnson: Democrats are the ones preventing SNAP benefits from being funded.
Trump: I WILL VIOLATE COURT ORDERS AND REFUSE TO DISTRIBUTE SNAP BENEFITS UNTIL DEMOCRATS BOW DOWN TO ME

As Republican politicians find themselves losing election after election, they'll invent conspiracies and resort to fearmongering to distract from the uncomfortable truth that they allowed this to happen by handing their party over to a hateful, lying conman who cares only about himself.

For Republicans to refuse to have the House in session to work on a solution, to fail the same vote in the Senate over and over without a single negotiation, for the President to play golf and hold extravagant parties as food aid runs out for hungry children, is a massive failure of leadership.

Some of the wealthiest companies in the world are receiving corporate welfare because they are not required to pay a proper wage.
The Facts About SNAP
Lazy, freeloaders, and basement-dwelling gamers are but a few of the insults being lobbed at SNAP recipients as the government shutdown causes a delay in the November payments.

Massive tax cuts for billionaires? Trump eagerly signed on.
$1 trillion military budget? Trump demanded it.
Bailing out another country's economy to save wealthy investors? Trump never hesitated.
Paying federal food benefits to hungry families? Trump refused. Courts had to order him to do it.

America spends nearly twice as much per person on healthcare.
That spending gets us fewer doctor visits, shorter life expectancies, higher maternal and infant mortality rates, higher rates of death from preventable causes, and, contrary to the misinformation, longer wait times for care as well.

Enrollment in the ACA has grown from 8 million in 2014, when the ACA went into effect, to over 25 million today. The most significant growth was in states won by Trump.
