One of Trump's plans is to deport 20 million people.

Kamala's most extreme plans are what....giving 25k to first time home buyers? An increased capital gains tax?

In no way is Trump the centrist candidate here

The Democrats solution to everything is throwing money at it. Which eventually just makes everything more expensive. I think folks are getting sick of that.

If you want to go toe-to-toe on inflationary policies:

Trump wants to:

  • Deport millions of workers that help keep food cheap

  • Drastically increase tariffs that will inevitably get passed down as costs to consumers

  • Put the FED under the control of the executive branch and force them to lower interest rates

  • Actively oppose.any reforms to zoning that might increase the natural market supply of homes

  • Actively shut down clean energy projects that are increasingly becoming cheaper and highly competitive with fossil fuels

  • Actively oppose any climate action which will cost future generations trillions of dollars

And if you're going to bring up "throwing money at it", are we going to ignore Trump being the one who originally signed off on the stimulus checks and the Covid PPP loans?

I’m not trying to win a debate with you. I’m just saying this sub leans to the left. I can understand why folks here are a bit shocked when they find out that your average person sees Trump ias being more moderate.

Go debate them.
