r/politics is :marseycope: that the average burger liked Trump's Congress speech :soyjaktantrum:

https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1j3w46d/poll_of_trumps_2025_joint_address_to_congress/

								

								

I think many Dems didn't watch it. I didn't. I'm just watching the recap. That said, if the polls are true, our country is full of gullible idiots who don't know they're being lied to.

They literally have a poll in it saying it's mostly Republicans / independents watching

I wanted to add more quotes, but this here is the whole comment section :marseyshrug:

Heh, democracy is bad because subhuman commoners are easy to convince

>:smugjaktalkin#g:

What do you mean "If convincing them is so easy why didn't we do it"? Clearly it's a russian/jewish/nazi joint conspiracy!

if convincing them involves tricking them into thinking tarrifs somehow reduce prices then I'd rather lose every election.

in the end they'll still be wrong and r-slurred and I won't be.

Most of trumps supporters are young folks who:

>have no home

>have very few stocks

>spend an unbelievable amount on rent

They dont care if stocks go down, they dont own any. They dont care if housing drops, that's a miracle for them. All the negatives except for high cost and inflation are positives for the zoomers.

The majority of the country has stocks you neurodivergent.

And prices are going to sky rocket, unemployment will go up.

The idea this is somehow good for anyone is r-slurred.

>majority has stocks

If you have 1 stock in tesla you're set guys, you're a serious shareholder now. Its not about having vs not having, its about how many and young people have few. They can see a 20% rise in the market, but if you only have $8k in the market well, thats not very impactful like it is if you have 100k.

>prices will go up

Yeah probably, high cost is a thing i mentioned.

>the idea that this is good for anyone is r-slurred

Yeah, young people really really benefit from starter homes in their hometown rising to $800k. Why the heck would they think they benefit from those prices going down, dont they know the boomers will be upset!

normally I would laugh at you but it's important to point out how laughably wrong you r-slurs are.

Hey pal, no, the majority has a large portion of their wealth in the market:

Except the cost of housing also won't go down as interest rates wont go down due to the shitty economic conditions, this isn't even getting into the massive increase in material costs making new houses also more expensive.

>links to average amount per account

>no mention of number of accounts per age bracket

Meanwile, in reality:

Among working-age individuals (ages 15 to 64), the most common type of retirement accounts in 2020 were 401(k)-style accounts (34.6%). About 18% of working-age individuals had an IRA or Keogh account, and 13.5% had a defined-benefit or cash balance plan.

1 in 3 from pretty much all age brackets for workers.

About half (49.5%) of Millennials ages 24 to 39 owned at least one type of retirement account but only 7.7% of Generation or Gen Z members ages 15 to 23 owned a retirement account.

So zoomers own frick all. Still, what about millenials?

According to previous work showing SIPP estimates for 2013, only 17.7% of Millennials owned retirement accounts when they were ages 15 to 31. Current SIPP estimates show how Millennials' retirement account ownership grew as they aged and gained labor market experience.

Seems only richstrags invested lump sums in their 20s, with zoomers not even having ANY retirement account and only about 1/6 millenials having a retirement account before hitting 31. Your averages mean shit, young people overwhelmingly have no accounts or little in them. Its why a group of 9 doctors and 1 janny have an overwhelmingly high average salary. Looks good, but it doesnt reflect the jannys reality.

My home ownership plans are literally wait for parents to die to sell the house and buy my own. Id be able to wipe all my debt and put in such a huge down that id be paying fricking pennies compared to what I'm paying in rent today. Im talking a 300k down after wiping out student loans and giving myself a 5 star all expense paid vacation for a month.
