How much is a point of GDP growth worth to you?

Despite more than 14 American leaders targeted in an attempted mass assassination, despite 11 people murdered in their place of worship, despite 2 people gunned down in KY simply because they are black, Trump, the inciter of ALL this violence, is out still ginning up fear, AND pitching that the economy will be harmed if Democrats win Nov 6.

 

So, I’m asking what every supporter of Trump should be asked: how much is a point of GDP growth worth to you?

 

Because assuming that with the election of Democrats, GDP growth reverts back to Obama levels (literally, less than 1 point slower growth, and new job and worker wage growth that is actually HIGHER than Trump’s), is that 1 percentage point difference worth the cost of keeping Trump unchecked? Is one point of GDP growth worth:

  • The lives of the 11 people dead in Pittsburgh because of Trump’s incitement to violence
  • The potential loss of lives of the 14 national leaders and dozens of postal workers and other innocents from the MAGAbomber
  • The lives of the 2 African Americans shot in cold blood by a Trump follower because they were black
  • The pain of the man beaten in Boston by what Trump called his “passionate” followers
  • The potential loss of life from the planned bombing that the bombers claim was inspired by Trump
  • The pain and suffering of parents and children separated at the border
  • The national breaking from unending lies, and fear tactics like sending thousands of troops to stop a caravan that is planning to stop at the border and request asylum
  • The families divided during the holidays because he has so polarized our nation that families can’t even sit together
  • The loss of basic civility in our society generally
  • The loss of our sovereignty when a foreign enemy can attack our elections and get away with it because their attack helped him win
  • The loss of our ability to fight crime because he turns our justice system into camps of those loyal to him vs those loyal to the rule of law

And that is the tip of the iceberg of what this man, unchecked by a GOP majority, has cost our country.

 

So, please ask everyone you know that is considering voting for ANY REPUBLICAN, what is ONE POINT of GDP worth to you? If the slightly better economy is worth the cost of all that listed above, then you truly are deplorable.
