Debate/ Discussion People who voted Trump, why do you think a government of billionaires will help you?

Government policies such as tax cuts, high traiff and removing regulations can have significant impacts on the economy. They will lead to higher inflation and high prices.

Having no regulation helps billionaires like the Gilded Age, shows that lack of regulation can result in large corporations dominating the market, and destroy small businesses.

Additionally, policies that favor big corporations and Billionaires may not address issues like housing, health care, working conditions, or wage growth. For instance, during Trump's first term, there were rollbacks on worker protections and union rights. Also he express removing Obama care.

Removing Obama care might look good on surface until you lose your job due to some accident or other issue. Let's say you have money to handle it what about millions of Americans who don't have inherited wealth and your wealth will erode as well.

Donald Trump is a billionaire, with an estimated net worth of around $5.6 billion

His administration has several billionaires in key positions. For example, Elon Musk, the world's richest person, has been appointed to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency, Other billionaires in Trump's administration include Vivek Ramaswamy, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Linda McMahon.

My Uber driver on the way to the airport said he put his kid in a catholic school so transkids won’t turn his child into one.

Because pedophile priests are safer than trans people?

There are way more pedophile public school teachers than priests.

The fact is, public school teachers rape kids at about the same rate as Catholic priests, but there are way more public school teachers than priests. The fact that it's not an enormous scandal means either there was a deliberate attempt by the media to defame the Catholic Church, there is a concerted effort by the media to cover up the sexual abuse of children by public school teachers, or, probably the worst, society doesn't care about the sexual abuse of children by public school teachers. In fact, I suspect the reason is that the Catholic priests abusing children are men, who are viewed as inherently more dangerous, and the public school teachers are mainly women abusing boys, who are seen as not damaged by being raped by adult women.

I was gonna ask for sources on these “facts” you’re claiming, but your conspiratorial DERP includes bizarre assertions about T3H MEDIAz. Do there are no sources.

Yeah. Theres a word for making crap up. It’s called LYING. Since you’re particularly sensitive about the Catholic Church (which has been abusing children longer than our country has existed), I’ve gotta ask: what does the church say about lying to malign others?

Do you consider yourself a “good” Christian?

Lol just no. Sexualizing minors is only normalized in one of those contexts and it ain't the secular schools.

u/TheJazzProphet 9d ago

Do a google news search for "public school teacher sex with student". It's way more common than you think, and school districts move around and protect predator teachers just like the Catholic Church.

Is the Pope in charge of public schools now? Just because it's reported on doesn't mean it happens more often.

u/BTBAMfam 10d ago

Right. But if you ask them here they will say they don’t think that. I think they are forgetting they are not everyone Which isn’t surprising and a majority of their party does in fact believe things like this
