Federal Reserve Lowers Interest Rates—Signaling Democratic Success

  • by

Donald Trump’s economic mismanagement, particularly through trade wars, tax cuts for the wealthy, and a catastrophic COVID-19 response, played a major role in driving inflation—an issue that has been wrongly blamed solely on President Joe Biden. As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell noted in December 2020, monetary policy operates with “long and variable lags,” meaning that the effects of Trump’s policies, including aggressive monetary interventions to counter the pandemic, laid the groundwork for inflation that manifested under Biden’s term. Republican propaganda has conveniently shifted blame onto Biden while ignoring the delayed consequences of Trump’s decisions.

However, the Biden-Harris administration’s Inflation Reduction Act helped stabilize inflation, particularly by supporting low-income workers and ensuring wage growth kept pace with rising costs. Today, with the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates, it’s clear that Democrats have won the battle on inflation. The question remains: Why would anyone want to return to the policies of the person who caused the problem in the first place? Trump’s reckless economic strategy favored the rich, disrupted supply chains, and burdened ordinary Americans, while Biden’s leadership has delivered relief and recovery for the people that needed it the most. F right-wing propaganda.

Republicans have disinformed voters so significantly that they moved the political center in USA

It’s nothing to be proud of, especially considering the threat they now pose, but it’s something they’ve done incredibly well. I’ve referred to the work by Political Compass for many years and want to share their assessment of 2024 (attached). But I also want us to talk about the great harm Republicans have caused to America.

Are you as frustrated as I am with this one thing they’ve done well? They’ve convinced people that centrist-right politicians are the radical left, all while moving us towards a theocratic or authoritarian dictatorship designed to benefit billionaires and weaken us as a nation.

The image above might be jarring to some and I should note that I believe Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are excellent candidates on their own. Separately, it is imperative that any American who cares about democracy, the people in America, or their own lives absolutely must ensure that Trump/Vance are never given power again.

The Republican Cult of Ignorance: How Propaganda and Racism Fuel Harmful Policies and Hurt America

  • by

Republican xenophobia, driven by Trump’s rhetoric and right-wing propaganda, has led to harmful policies based on ignorance and intolerance. This manipulation diverts attention from the real agenda: protecting the wealth of the elite at the expense of the middle class. Meanwhile, immigrants, who contribute positively to the economy and society, are scapegoated. The real threat to American values comes from those spreading division and misinformation.
