Vice President JD Vance thinks that Americans are too worried about the “little things” ahead of midterms—like gas prices, debt, Immigration and Customs Enforcement killings, and war.

“This is not the time to sort of gripe about all the little things.… I think every single person who voted for us in 2024 could find something where they wish maybe congressional Republicans had gone further,” Vance told Fox News on Thursday. “The challenge here is between Democrats who want to destroy the country, who want to permanently disempower you … and Republicans who fundamentally are trying to solve the problems that Democrats under Joe Biden created.”

        if you have to tell people to not believe the things they observe, think, and feel, immediately prior to an election… well… lets just say that if thats the case, things have not gone as planned.

      The metrics for measuring our economic health haven’t been tied to the well being of the total population for a long time. The entire political system has been hiding behind wall-street growth for generations. Inflating that even with money magic. The moment we stepped off the gold standard we started playing a game of math and fantasy.

        At the risk of sounding like a D&D player, fantasy and math are fine, the problem is that some classes are totally overpowered
