Scott Presler Warns Republicans Could Lose Everything in November

A Black female Republican in Virginia was a guaranteed loss from Day 1. And NJ and PA were never going to be GOP wins anyway. So while I appreciate everything Scott has done to GOTV, there isn’t really much to “do” here.

[VanShuyten]

I’m not sweating about the VA governor’s race, but I am worried. The VA GOPe is useless and Spamburger is getting tons of non-Virginia money. I can easily see a loss due to apathy of both the party and the conservative voters.

Yes, I have noticed food prices are up a lot over the past few months. Also read where analysts expect food prices to dramatically increase by winter as existing inventories are depleted. Beef prices are just crazy high and I refuse to buy $10/lb ground beef.

[SuperLuminal]

To change Trump’s winning ways and put an end to “Promises made, Promises kept” would be asinine over three governorship elections...

Particularly since they are mostly unwinnable for the GOP...

The only important elections are the 2026 midterms, and they depend on Trump delivering on his promises, if the enuchs that run the Senate GOP would only grow some balls...

The businesses that used to rely on immigrant labor (whether ag or manufacturing) now have to pay more for American labor. That gets passed on to the consumer.

Many illegals are related to legal immigrants. So if illegal dad leaves, legal mom and US citizen kids (who probably all used to be employed) leave the country and go back home. To attract US labor, companies have to pay more. That gets passed on to the consumer.

Windows are made in the USA but the components are often from overseas. Glass from Malaysia and Thailand. Hardware from Canada. PVC is made in USA but chemicals are from overseas. These are all hit with tariffs. Replaced immigrant (legal and illegal) labor with US labor in adddition to Biden inflation and Trump tariffs means that window and soon everythign else you’ll buy costs substantially more.

Yes, I have noticed food prices are up a lot over the past few months.

Just give it time. In the following months, everything else will also be going up in price. The reason prices for many imports haven't gone up yet is because retailers are still selling pre-tarriff stock.

For instance, I just bought a bed frame I needed for the guest bedroom for the same price I had paid for a similar one a few years ago (didn't want to wait for price to go up). When I received it I realized why Walmart hadn't jacked up the price. Label on the box said it was imported back in 2022 which means it's been sitting in a US warehouse for the last 3 years.

When the next shipment from Asia comes it, the price is going to be at least 50% more.

[MarlonRando]

I’m sure. That’s what I always say about illegal immigration—A freeper in Delaware or Vermont wouldn’t know what I was talking about if I mentioned illegals and crime or such.

[citizen]

Wake up, pal. Food costs are down. Where ya been?

[datricker]

Not where I live in fact prices went up noticeably enough employees of vons told me lots fewer people in the store. When the news doesn’t match my visceral experience I learned I’m consuming propaganda

[KC_Conspirator]

He is right

[kaktuskid]

We have 2 companies that control the egg industry.
We have 4 companies that control the meat packing industry-two are foreign owned.
We have had consolidation in the packaged food industry.
All this means price fixing.
Time to break them up into smaller companies.

[roving]

The elections are in two months.

During covid everything went up due to disruptions in supply chains and labor force. Once a problem is over, Big Biz never lowers prices all the way back to where they were. Remember $4.00+ gas during Obama? Motor oil went from $3-4 a qt to $6-8 a qt but when gas was less than $2/gal under Trump, a qt of oil hardly went down at all and still remains high today.

OSB plywood went from $8/sheet to $40/sheet during covid. It’s currently $13.50 at a Lowes near me that was $7.99 pre covid.

At this point, we are living under Record Profits Inflation.

Every big company also started new departments to deal with the new DEI stuff coming down from the likes of the WEF. That adds to costs too.

[reviled downesdad]

Gas needs to come down to 2 bucks. If Trump can do that, all prices will come down. Drill baby drill, frac whatever, that’s what we need.

[Paul R.]

I unfortunately agree. The Administration numbers (and ditto for Biden’s) just DON’T accurately reflect the magnitude of the problem, at all.

[personalaccts]

You can’t win in Fairfax county it’s a million plus liberals

[Paul R.]

Eggs are down but still high.

Even 56 cent cans of “Great Value” and Aldi vegetables jumped 20 cents a few weeks ago, and MANY other basic items did too. Meat of all types is just going out of sight.

[chrisser]

Cause you live in California. If you were in say Pennsylvania or Ohio you’d see gas prices are the lowest they’ve been in years.

That's weird, because here in WV, gas prices went up to $2.99/gallon shortly after Joe & the Hoe were selected. They stayed at that price for 4 years, and that's the price as of yesterday.

[fwdude]

Republicans are famous for sitting on their laurels for years after a victory. That’s why elections often swing wildly in the mid-terms.

The stupid party is right.

[Paul R.]

Neglecting brief spurts, such as caused by the flooding of a BP refinery in Indiana, several days ago (it’s back online now), fuel prices have been declining slightly or relatively stable, for some time*, yet groceries just keep going up.

Just how long is this trickle down supposed to take?
