Current DNC Chair Jamie Harrison and RNC Chairman Michael Whatley couldnt be more different, while Jamie stems from african american backgrounds and worked his way up to earn the place as DNC leader, his counterpart served in the Georg W Bush administration and has a masters degree in religion. This does sound alarm bells to us.

1. Economic Nostalgia

Many Americans feel the economy was stronger during Trump’s presidency compared to Biden’s, creating positive associations with Trump’s economic policies.

2. Loyal Trump Base

Trump’s “MAGA base” constitutes 37% of likely Republican voters. This group is highly supportive of Trump and believes in his innocence regarding legal issues.

3. Unchanging Unpopularity

Trump’s high unfavorability among non-Republicans has persisted. His national popularity remains low, but he focuses on maintaining his core supporters rather than expanding his appeal.

4. Trump’s Appeal to Young Voters

Trump’s charismatic style contrasts with Biden’s perceived lack of charisma, making Trump more appealing to younger voters.

5. Biden’s Image and Leadership

Biden’s image as a steady and reassuring leader, which was an advantage in 2020, now contributes to a perception of ineffective leadership.

What new economic plans did Donald Trump unveil?

# data[].attributes.body
1. Reducing the corporate tax rate: Trump aims to lower the corporate tax rate from 21% to 15%, but only for companies that manufacture products in the U.S. He emphasized that companies outsourcing jobs would face high tariffs on imported goods.

2. Government efficiency commission: He proposes establishing a government commission to reduce waste, fraud, and improper payments, with a goal to save trillions of dollars by eliminating inefficiencies.

3. Housing affordability: Trump suggested various measures to reduce housing costs, including a ban on mortgages for undocumented immigrants and cutting regulations to make homebuilding more affordable. He also highlighted plans to reduce mortgage interest rates to 3% or lower.

4. Lowering gas prices: He promised to reduce gas prices below $2 a gallon by removing regulations and encouraging more oil drilling.

These proposals reflect Trump's broader focus on lowering costs for businesses and consumers, while aiming to boost economic growth through tax cuts and deregulation.

Gun Safety:

Republicans Project 2025 and why it should scare us

# data[].attributes.body
Project 2025 isnt exactly official but it might as well be. Knowing about the bad look it would bring, Trump desperately tries to distance himself from it. Judgeing by who is leading the think-tanks who came up with this dystopian playbook thoug, there is really no way for him not to be involved. Of course the plans would not be possible to impliment easily but seeing them in plain sight gives us a good view on their intentions. From cutting taxes for the rich to raising presidential power and giving the president the abilty to fire people based on political reasons, it is really filled with autrocities.

Its fairly simple to see who should benefit from wich party by looking at who supports them. We can see people such as the ceo of blackstone corp, wich is a daughter firm of blackrock, which is the biggest bank in the world donating for the republicans. Beeing against the establishment does definetly not look like this. On the other hand we have Sam Bankman Fried donating to the democrats, which seems less of a problem to me. Nevertheless there surely are shady carracters on both sides of the donation list.
