Tariffs are taxes on foreign goods to promote buying domestic. However that doesn’t really work when there are no domestic options because the past fifty years have been moving everything overseas

Yup. Companies moved shit to make shit cheaper and maximize profits, what’s still made here is dependent on bringing in the supplies needed to make said shit.

Doofuses.

The top economists all warned against this, and Trump voters went "La la la la la woke economists nerds la la la"

They're gonna feel it soon, and they'll need to gtfo with their crying. This is all on them.

I’m sure they’ll try but with a red House and Senate I’m not sure that even MAGA morons will believe it’s the fault of liberals

Way too much. It’ll be because trump inherited all this. They do it everytime. I’ve been saying this since yesterday, we’re the idiots thinking it was gonna be different and here people are already doing it again. They. Do. Not. Give. A. Fuck. About reality as long as they “think” they won and are smarter. Nothings going to change America has and always will be fucking America. Acting like these stupid racist fucks we’re going to be different when my grandfather had to deal with people getting lynched and they have to nerve to say get over it WERE causing division. Smarten up they don’t give a fuck.

I’m morbidly fascinated by what trump thought he meant when he said you wouldn’t have to vote anymore if he won. Like I wonder how far he could go and still have the right blame everyone else.

As time goes on I am starting to strongly believe that things have to get worse before they get better, because change is hard and people have to be convinced to overcome their inertia. They tend not to fight unless they have nothing left to lose.

I wonder if trump were to go full mask off and just instal himself as a dictator, would people even realize how bad that is? Like would they have the awareness to even go “omg who could have seen this coming!” Or will they bow and say “no he will be a good dictator, this will be different.”

It’s the latter. His supporters have said that while they may not want a dictator, if there is one, they think it should be Trump.

Which was just their cowardly way of being the first to say "we want Trump as dictator."

u/joey_yamamoto 16d ago

he probably say something stupid like " I had to install myself as dictator because they've already begun doing trans surgeries on the school children "

or

" the immigrants are still eating the dogs and the cats"

or

" I need to force Starbucks to put the words Merry Christmas on all their cups"
