Voters in crucial swing state reveal the biggest everyday issue they face that could sink Kamala's presidential campaign
UK Daily Mail ^ | August 25 2024 | James Cirrone

High grocery prices are fueling a wave of political apathy among swing voters in Wisconsin - threatening to sink Kamala Harris' bid for President.

Jessica Richert and Leland McKnight, a couple from Reedsburg, Wisconsin, had to make a 30-minute trip to stock up on food this weekend because all the stores near them are far more expensive.

Since their Chevy Tahoe's transmission broke down, they had to take their daughter's Dodge Ram to the Jams 2 Bent & Dent, a discount grocery store.

Food prices went up because fuel prices went up witch caused fertilizer, processing, and transportation of food items to go up, which caused general inflation to go up which caused the fed to raise the prime rate which caused the housing problems etc etc etc. It all starts with commie filth stupid solutions and if that idiot Harris is elected it will all get worse.

This article is absolutely disgusting. The underlying theme is that not one of the shoppers interviewed for it can tell the difference between Trump and Harris. This election is a contrived and pre-orchestrated disaster waiting to happen. Americans if you can call them that have lost their minds and their ability to think straight. RFK Jr thinks it may be in the food and water and he may be right.

As an aside, note the media’s photography of Kamala accompanying the article has morphed into showing this reprobate treasonous Marxist shit looking like a Catholic Madonna with eyes raised to the skies in benediction, like the Blessed Virgin Mary, no doubt to appeal to all of the Catholic Hispanic female illegally registered voters.

That could become a very effective election-year bumper sticker.

Our voting system was meant for an electorate that was intelligent and educated.

I refuse to believe that issues will decide.

Presidential elections are about likeability, trust, and being “presidential”, none of which are possessed by Komrade Kammy and her boy Tampon Timmy.

Those qualities are what decided the elections of 2016 and 2020.

But a coup overturned the election of 2020 and the resulting outcome was not the product of a fair and free election.

Trump will win a third election.

The only question is will it stand or be stolen.

“High grocery prices are fueling a wave of political apathy among swing voters in Wisconsin - threatening to sink Kamala Harris’ bid for President.”

But she’s going after the price gougers and freeze prices and increase the minimum wage.

The fools, which are a majority, will eat that up!

Inflation is the great “joy” killer.

An absolutely huge issue is this:

Forbes did a January measurement of party affiliation of voters. They found 45% Independents. 27% both Dem and GOP.

None, repeat, NONE of the major polls are using that. They are using partisan profiles of 2022 exit polls, or 2021 Census.

The “ISSUES” are not the same for the plurality of voters, Independents, as for Dems and the GOP. Independents certainly care about inflation, but they care much less about abortion and taxes/spending. They have seen taxes and spending with either party in control and there is essentially no difference.

So . . . the issues. This is why Trump and Vance both spoke at the Crypto conference. A survey showed 20% of Independents had owned or currently own crypto. The Dems are unalterably opposed to crypto, as a tool of criminals.

So keep this in the back of your minds when the media tells you what issues are important. They aren’t asking the right people.

doesn’t sound like trump has made his case. He needs to communicate in detail how inflation is created and what he will do to end it.
cause: Printing money to fund deficit spending
Cause: increasing cost of fuel goes to cost of everything
Restore commodity based monetary policy.
continue to reduce wage taxes until they are gone.
Drill and open up gov restrictions on all fuel types, green, brown, purple, red, without subsidies. pipelines etc.

You're 100% right. The concept these people cannot grasp is that you can only notice high prices now if they weren't high before now and all their comments reflect it's about now and how they've changed what they were doing to deal with what's changed now. Not a thought among them to what was going on before now when it was far better and who was responsible for that versus who has been responsible for how things are now.

In many ways, this reflects the inner city mentality of nothing ever gets better being moved to the suburbs. When you look at how inner city voters—leaving aside fraud—continue voting Democrat despite how bad things remain, you can only conclude that they figure it doesn't matter. The most extreme cases are where new policies like no bail directly affect a community as in NYC where no bail has unleashed even more crime in those same inner city areas and yet the Democrats responsible for no bail are reelected as well other Democrats from dog catcher to the White House keep getting their votes.

This is where Republicans can make serious progress if they were to point out that as long as there is a shred of capitalism remaining, there is a way out for the country because only under capitalism do you have stores like Bent & Dent which give entrepreneurs incentives to provide a service that's needed. And if that happens in bad times, think how much more will entrepreneurs have incentives to provide services in good times. But once people vote capitalism and entrepreneurship out of existence by another four years of a Democrat in the White House and Democrat majorities in Congress, there will be no way out.
