Search Results: losing her

I will say I voted for Trump these past 3 elections. He may have not served the second election, and while many speculate it was because the left cheated, I would not be surprised but I don't know what information to believe anymore.

That is one very significant thing I need to emphasize: I don't know what sources to believe, which ones are conspiracy theories, and which ones are actually genuinely true. There is so much misinformation, I don't know exactly what to believe anymore regarding our government and politics. I just know there is a shit ton of corruption, greed, and passiveness at many turns.

I will say, on a positive note, I am happy Trump tackled this whole woke, "politically correct", social engineering issue head on and restored some common sense. This leftist PC propaganda was a cancer, and I honestly feel it was a main factor why our nation was heading down the tube. While the Trump administration has destroyed that cancer in multiple facets, sadly it is still running rampant on media.

I am also happy Trump addressed the border and illegal immigration crisis promptly, swiftly, and with full-on force.

Here is where I am losing my support with Trump: the cost of living, inflation, and opportunity for everyday, middle-class and working-class Americans and younger generations alike. I feel many of them are being butchered right now. This was the main "selling-point" for Trump during his first term. At some point he must take ownership as everyday Americans continue to struggle and scrape at the bottom of the barrel just to feed themselves, their children, and their pets.

Trump's solution of a 50-year mortgage sounds like a shit idea. Does this mean for younger generations to afford homes, the solution is to be enslaved to debt longer with more interest in the end? I also feel Trump is failing to address the soaring prices on basic essentials like food.

NYS Republicans file federal lawsuit challenging planned switch to even years for local elections

GOP officials are trying to get federal courts to intervene after a similar lawsuit failed in state courts. Just two weeks ago, New York's top court ruled the law constitutional in a 7-0 decision.

The suit argues moving county, town and other elections to even-numbered years is a violation of candidates' free speech rights. The plaintiffs claim the fact that local candidates will be trying to communicate with voters at the same time as statewide and national candidates amounts to an illegal restriction.

The law "imposes a direct and substantial burden on core political speech and association under the First Amendment - not merely by raising costs, but by degrading visibility, distorting content and increasing bias in the act of voting. This burden cannot be justified by generalized appeals to convenience."

Their other primary claim is that the switch will "exacerbate racially polarized voting" and, therefore, violates federal voting rights laws. The Republicans assert: that "minority-preferred candidates... will face reduced visibility and increased racially polarized voting, resulting in minority voters losing the ability to elect candidates of their choosing."

The Democratic-led State Legislature and Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, enacted the law making the switch in 2023. Democrats and good-government groups noted voter turnout is always better in even-numbered years, so the law would boost participation. Also, Democrats in New York have higher turnout in even-numbered years.

Republicans opposed, saying local races and candidates would be overlooked by voters. Also, the GOP historically had seen better turnout numbers than their rivals in odd-numbered years.
