Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
A Washington Post poll indicated that "Affordability" was a major issue with Tuesday's voters. How did voters, who say they are concerned with affordability, vote for Democrats? It's a mystery. When Biden was sworn into office in January 2021, the CPI was at 262.369. When he left office in Jan 2025, CPI was at 319.086. That's an increase of 21.61% over four years of Democrat rule. 21.61%!!! Since Trump was sworn in, CPI is up 1.68%. How on earth did Dems convince voters that THEY are the party of Affordability?
Never underestimate the power of promises of free stuff, I guess.

Unfortunately, most voters are ignorant and won’t take the time and slight effort to become informed.

Truth
To read this bio, please join Ricochet.
It used to be that America was a religious and moral culture. A religious (Christian) and moral people do want free stuff taken from others by a government. A culture that is non-Christian and not moral will demand/vote free stuff and the only outcome is tyranny/communism. Thus the only way to avoid a communist future is to restore a religious (Christian) and moral society.
