The Democrats Turned Thousands Of Americans Into Hateful People
This was accomplished by blatant media bias, lies upon lies, hypocrisy, and celebrities
I am not pro-Trump, but I can’t believe the behavior of the Democrats during the election process. I thought Americans were fair-minded people who abide by civil rules of the United States of America.
I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, I am just pointing out that the Democrats are not your father’s Democrats anymore. This was not even a real campaign by the Democrats as they never said what Harris’ policies were. She avoided any answers when questioned.
Here are the events that contributed to the mindset of hate by the Democratic Campaign.
Media
The media was unbelievable in its blatant bias against Trump. They can’t be considered news sources anymore as they are just tabloids now. They posted many hateful stories about Trump, but did not criticize Harris when she never answered any of the questions on policy or her platform.
CBS actually edited an interview where she had a rambling response (called a word salad) to an answer with a shorter response that sounded more normal. But still did not answer the question.
They took speeches by Trump and J. D. Vance and would only give part of the text, which would make them seem sinister. The headlines would be lies and it worked because people do not seem to read past the headlines anymore to find the real words.
Lies, lies, and more lies
“Trump will destroy our democracy!” was the rallying cry of the Democrats. Umm, he was president already and it was not destroyed. But the worst part is that the United States is not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Federal Republic, NOT a true democracy. (That’s a whole different post I am creating)
“He will ban abortion and won’t allow IVF!” Umm, he did not ban abortion. He believed it should never have been a FEDERAL law and that the states themselves should decide about abortion. The Supreme Court removed Roe vs Wade, not Trump, as it was a federal law which it never should have been. (Again, that’s a whole different post I created here) He also said numerous times he is okay with IVF.
“He took away manufacturing jobs, as he doesn’t care about the working people!” Well if you do research, he created more than 414,000 manufacturing jobs during his administration, way more than Biden/Harris. Biden/Harris also put lots of regulations on manufacturing, and other industries hindering progress. They were not even good policies; it was the way the Democrats wanted it.
(And I could go on and on, but I’ll give you a break)
Hypocrisy
There were so many incidents where the Democrats showed hypocrisy that you can’t actually list them all.
I believe one of the worst, was during the Democratic Convention, Michelle Obama spoke about the “elites” that are the Republican Party. Then she said how her mother didn’t trust anyone that had more than they needed. This was a slur against the “rich” Republicans.
Wait a minute, let me think. Oh right. The Obamas have four multimillion-dollar mansions. Uh, oh, Michelle was right, I guess I can’t trust the Democrats…
Many Democrats uttered the same type of rhetoric. Usually about the “elites.” The real elites are the Democrats who as we found during the campaign, they don’t care about the working class. They said this over and over in speeches they gave.
Celebrities
Oh, man, don’t get me started on the celebrities. Okay, I will start anyway.
“My what big EGOS you have!” cried Little red Riding Hood. She really didn’t say that, but she probably would have.
Who do these people think they are? So do they have the right to tell us for whom to vote? And then have meltdowns when Trump won?
To me, the worst was Taylor Swift who I respected as an artist and businessperson until she opened her mouth without singing. Someone did a “deep fake” post somewhere depicting Taylor was supporting Trump. She HAD to come out to say her only way to fight this was to come out and tell who she was voting for: Harris.
You see, she has fake posts and images everywhere but never responded to them. So now she suddenly has to set the record straight, even though it came out everywhere that it was false. The reason this is so bad is because she has fanatical fans that listen to her every word. Let people vote for who they want.
Now that Trump is president, they are hating him without letting him start his term. So the celebrities are mad because you didn’t do what they said. Oh, Boo, Hoo. I thought we had the freedom to vote for the candidate of our choice.
But that won’t matter anymore, because of the great philosopher Oprah Winfrey, “we will never be able to vote again…”
Looking back to Trump’s first presidency
The economy was better under Trump. Prices didn’t skyrocket like they did during Biden/Harris.
There were a smaller number of illegal immigrants entering the country, but he saw it could get bigger. So he had the policy of “remain in Mexico” to wait for processing.
Then he realized we needed a wall to be built, but then others stopped it saying it was too expensive. Estimates had it at a total of around $16 billion dollars. Well, guess what? Biden/Harris cost us $66 Billion in 2023 alone for the illegal aliens for housing, medical, etc., and then Harris in her campaign said she now favored the wall (when she really didn’t)
Trump kept the countries that were a problem in check, so that there were no wars at the time. China, North Korea, Russia, and the Middle East were not at war or causing problems as he said not to mess with the United States. Now look where we are under Biden/Harris.
There is so much more, but I will stop.
Going forward
The media and the Democrats are still spewing hate against Trump. There are now articles that prices will go up because Trump wants to give everyone tariffs! He is not blindly giving tariffs to all. He is looking at certain countries that have tariffs on our goods and we don’t have tariffs on their imports. These countries are ones that are exploiting the USA now and are not practicing fair trade.
Let’s just give Trump a chance before given any judgements. He was elected by the people because the Biden/Harris administration put us all into dire straits with prices, wars, etc.
Under Trump’s previous administration, we had a good economy, peace in the world, and we still have America. And he WILL NOT destroy democracy.

Trump Pushes for a 1-Year, 10% Cap on Credit Card Interest Rates — and Banks Push Back
In a move that has reignited debate over consumer protection and financial regulation, former U.S. President Donald Trump has floated a proposal to cap credit card interest rates at 10% for one year. The idea is simple on its surface: provide immediate relief to millions of Americans struggling under high-interest debt. But the reaction from banks and financial institutions has been swift and hostile, revealing deep divisions over how the U.S. credit system should function. At a time when credit card interest rates in the United States routinely exceed 20% and, in some cases, climb above 30%, Trump’s proposal strikes a populist chord. Yet critics argue that such a cap could disrupt lending markets, reduce credit availability, and create unintended economic consequences. So why is Trump pushing this plan, why are banks balking, and what could it mean for consumers? Why Credit Card Interest Rates Are Under the Spotlight Over the past few years, American households have increasingly relied on credit cards to cope with inflation, rising rent, and higher everyday expenses. As the Federal Reserve raised benchmark interest rates to fight inflation, credit card APRs surged alongside them. For many consumers, this has meant: Growing balances that are harder to pay down Monthly interest charges that exceed minimum payments A cycle of debt that feels nearly impossible to escape Against this backdrop, Trump’s proposal taps into widespread frustration. By capping interest rates at 10% for a limited, one-year period, the plan aims to give borrowers breathing room and slow the growth of household debt. The Political Strategy Behind the Proposal Trump has long positioned himself as a champion of “forgotten” or financially stressed Americans. This proposal fits neatly into that narrative, allowing him to argue that he is standing up to powerful banks on behalf of everyday consumers. Politically, the idea is strategic: It appeals to working-class voters burdened by debt It contrasts sharply with what many see as Wall Street-friendly policies It reframes economic debate around fairness rather than market efficiency Even though the proposal is temporary, its symbolism is powerful. A one-year cap suggests urgency without committing to a permanent overhaul of the credit system, making it easier to sell to voters while still appearing bold. Why Banks Are Pushing Back Hard Financial institutions wasted no time expressing concern. From their perspective, a 10% cap—especially one imposed quickly—poses serious risks. Banks’ main arguments include: 1. Reduced profitability Credit cards are one of the most profitable products for banks. Interest revenue helps offset defaults, fraud, and operational costs. A sharp cap would significantly reduce margins. 2. Higher risk, lower reward Banks argue that high interest rates compensate for lending to higher-risk borrowers. If rates are capped, they may simply stop offering credit to those consumers. 3. Less access to credit Rather than lowering rates, banks could tighten approval standards, leaving many Americans—especially those with lower credit scores—without access to credit at all. 4. Market interference concerns The banking industry maintains that interest rates should reflect market conditions, not political decisions. They warn that government-imposed caps distort lending behavior. In short, banks claim the proposal could hurt the very people it intends to help. Would Consumers Actually Benefit? For consumers carrying balances, the immediate benefits are obvious. A 10% cap could: Dramatically reduce monthly interest charges Help borrowers pay down principal faster Prevent balances from ballooning However, the longer-term impact is less clear. If banks respond by: Cutting credit limits Closing accounts Rejecting new applicants Then access to short-term credit could become more limited, particularly for lower-income households. Still, supporters argue that the current system already fails many consumers. With interest rates exceeding 25%, critics say the credit card market borders on exploitative, especially when borrowers are already financially vulnerable. How This Fits Into the Broader Economic Debate Trump’s proposal revives a long-standing debate in U.S. politics: Should there be a legal limit on how much lenders can charge? Historically, usury laws capped interest rates at the state level. Over time, deregulation and federal preemption weakened those limits, allowing banks to charge far higher rates nationwide. The proposal also intersects with broader questions about: Corporate responsibility Income inequality The role of government in regulating financial markets Supporters see the cap as overdue consumer protection. Opponents see it as economic overreach with potentially destabilizing effects. Is the Proposal Likely to Become Law? Realistically, the chances of this policy being enacted in its current form are slim—at least in the short term. Implementing a nationwide cap would require congressional support and face intense lobbying from the financial industry. However, even if it never becomes law, the proposal serves another purpose: shifting the conversation. By putting credit card interest rates front and center, Trump has forced policymakers, banks, and the public to confront an issue that often receives little attention. In that sense, the plan may already be achieving one of its goals. What Happens Next? As banks continue to push back and economists debate the consequences, consumers are watching closely. Whether through legislation or public pressure, calls for relief from high credit card interest rates are unlikely to fade. Trump’s proposal may be temporary, controversial, and politically charged—but it highlights a reality many Americans live with every day: debt is expensive, and the system often feels stacked against borrowers. Even if the 10% cap never materializes, the question remains: how long can sky-high interest rates persist before meaningful reform becomes unavoidable?
