Americans will have to face 'hardship' if Trump wins

You are on a discussion forum and can only post two word cliches, lol.

In addition, I'm sure you have no life experience with this topic, and probably not many others.

If the "deep state" idea is correct, and it likely is, Trump was one person against a machine, so not a situation a person can control.

A micro example of the deep state idea is P Diddy and Epstein with Diddy being better.

On the surface, he's a guy behind fun pop music but behind there's kinds of crime and perversion, but he's just one guy with some supporters. So, imagine if there's people way smarter than Diddy but with the same personalities, that would be international deep state.

In the 70s they used to call them the "fifth column" and they have been in many governments through history.

As I mentioned in my first post, Covid had to be largely fake due to my experience in Philly vs Bucks County which boarder each other. In Philly, it was the end of the world and three miles away no effect, gyms, restaurants, etc open and next to no deaths.

It was a dead giveaway so to speak.

In addition, the "vaccine" was not one, as they are made from the disease. Instead, it was an RNA Inhibitor like they give to HIV patients. On top of that, the tests were for Coronavirus which is common and has hundreds of varieties.

If it was an election stunt it was of epic proportions.

I have noticed, the media is insanely anti-Trump and he's just some guy. But, he's not a politician and seems to not care what people think. So, he is some kind of threat that we do not understand or at least I don't.

I am a fairly extreme liberal and my guess is that the deep state is communist, which doesn't bother me. I think they see Trump as too capitalist and panic about it.

Alternately, they could be a ring of P Diddys.

No one who tries to cut prices buys their "whole cuts of meat" at Costco, where a chicken can cost twice what it does at, say, Winco. Looking for meats on sale at Safeway is a great idea. Their loss leaders can be fantastic. Walk in, buy that, and that alone, and walk out. They're going to try to get you to buy something else, but do the rest of your shopping at a much cheaper outlet like Winco.

Actually, eating less meat is a better way of cutting food costs, speaking of being culinarily illiterate. Look into the impoverished cuisines of the world to find how they feed families at low cost. That actually tells you how buying those "simple foods" can translate into tasty meals. Herbs and spices in bulk at Winco will help, too.

And your home cost-reduction plan is to stop buying snacks and fast foods? Wow. Deep. The people who are struggling to choose between food, insurance, gas, heating, and rental/mortgage payments have likely stopped getting the chicken McNuggets a long time ago. Fast food is Campbell's chicken noodle or bean with bacon soup. Better still, make your chicken noodle from a Costco roasted chicken. You can make about four meals off that one chicken if you're frugal. Between 6-8 if you're extremely frugal. Then the carcass goes in the crockpot to make the stock and the meat for that chicken noodle soup or Juk. When my husband was in the hospital there at the end, he kept ordering chicken noodle soup hoping it would be like mine. It wasn't.

My point was that I would cut the demand on social programs, freeing up more money to help legal Americans. Also, the higher the spending by the government, the higher the inflation, which makes affording things like groceries more difficult. If we can lower government spending, we can help get inflation under control.

No one's trying to rip off Social Security, so you're right. You couldn't walk in with fake identification, get a Social Security number and rip off the system. And we know people who break into this country are trying to do everything by the book. 😂

The Feds have lost a lot of people in the country and claim they don't know where they are. But if they did an audit on the people who've applied for benefits and drivers licenses in the past four years, they might find the folks who are ripping off the system. A lot of people under Boomer age are whining about paying for the Boomers' Social Security, but they DON'T mind paying for benefits for people who came here illegally? Odd priorities. Especially for people who can't even afford to buy a can of Campbell's soup. It's pre-packaged food, after all.
