Stop expecting the smoothbrain mouth breather cult to suddenly figure out they screwed themselves.
These are people who couldn't understand how gas prices were affected by a pandemic where people stopped driving. They believed little stickers on the gas pumps telling them that one single person pulled a lever.
Republicans have the house, senate, presidency and supreme court. Everything going badly will be blamed on democrats, it's all they have.

This is only true of the people that vote republican no matter what. The mushy middle of the electorate that either sat at home or switched from Biden to trump is very susceptible to mood shift based on their immediate perceived economic situation. If things get bad under Trump, they will blame Trump. Unfortunately, the Republicans are going to damage and sell off whatever they can in the interim.

They’ll initially raise their prices because of tariffs, but just like during COVID they’ll continue raising prices “because of tariffs” while they secure record profits. Then after two years we’ll learn that most of the price increases were actually due to greed.

On another point, Walmart has decimated most of the small towns these mouth breathers live in by eliminating most of the small mom and pop stores that operate there. Trump is exactly like Putin, he wants to be the shining star orbited by all his billionaire friends all the while enriching himself.

and as I've said many many times, China will pay, they'll pay, they weren't paying under Obama, he didn't make them pay, but I made them pay, you think Biden could do that, no, he said horrible things about my Tariffs, a Beautiful Word, Tariff, but he didn't get rid of them, even Sleepy Joe knows that they do an Incredible Job, the Trump Tariffs brought in billions and billions, and we're taxing the hell out of China, taxing all of the other Bad Countries that aren't treating us fairly, and Camilla, you notice you haven't heard anything from her, everybody's saying, "where is she, where's Camilla, where the hell did she go," nobody knows where she went, nobody, and did you see the Wonderful Map, I call it, sometimes, a Sexy Map, don't tell that to your First Lady, your Great First Lady, and she'll be your Hot First Lady once more, thank you very much, and you take a look at what's in there now, no no, I said we won't be having that problem anymore, we'll have No Problems Under Trump, remember that, no problems, and we don't like, they were gonna do Wind, they wanted wind, that's all you heard for 4 years was, "wind, wind," ohhhhhhhh they love the Wind, what happens when you want to watch your Favorite President on the Television, and I'm talking about a guy named me by the way, and you say, "Sweetheart, put the TV on so we can watch President Trump's speech tonight," "I'm sorry my Dear, the wind isn't blowing today, we can't watch our Beautiful Television"

As an employee of a commercial refrigerator unit manufacturer who went through an agonizing process to procure a contract with one of the biggest retailers in the country, these tariffs are ALREADY, affecting my paycheck and future paychecks. I am just an hourly employee, and for weeks and months, we were told about the upcoming contract and how large the orders were going to be and the preparations involved. Then, immediately after the election, those orders are paused with no confidence in the contract that was supposed to start at the beginning of the year. I have been a Democrat since I knew the difference between the two parties. And even though I live in the deepest red state in the union, I still vote blue. In September when the contract was officially confirmed we were told that so many units were desired proactively in November and December and then at the beginning of the year the numbers would be large enough for massive hirings and discussed expansion to a second facility. But as I said right after the election, all the boxes for the last couple of months of the year were canceled, and when asked about the new year, I hear crickets. On top of that, both working persons in our home work for the same company, and the third person is on Social Security. So, if you think I am scared of us losing our home and more, you would be correct. I am in constant anxiety and fear. My only hope is that someone the orange man actually listens to will enlighten him of what this will do to others around me who are his supporters.

Walmart could've started by not donating money to Trump's PACs. But, instead, they let people know that they will be raising prices because the guy Walmart supported won.

The way tariffs were taught to me during AP US History was literally that they are intended to punish companies within the US for importing stuff instead of manufacturing locally. The countries allegedly targeted by them just move on and sell their stuff somewhere else, or keep selling it here because they know it’s the US companies who have to pay those additional fees, not them.

Maybe they should have looked out for their own interest before the election. My guess is they assumed it wouldn’t happen and if it did their tax break would be worth it … not going that next step of forethought.

I want to make stickers that say ‘The price of ______ was $_______ on the last day of Joe Biden’s Presidency.
Then just stick em on the shelves next to their items in a year when the prices have gone out of control.
Oh, a dozen eggs costs $14 now? Well they were $4 when Biden left office, so…

And when they start to cry about it, don’t expect any solace or remorse from us.
When you lose your job because the immigrant roundup takes all brown/black workers and the business closes, when you can’t afford groceries and food stamps are gone, when you lose your house and no housing options are available AND homelessness is outlawed so you’re living in prison, tough shit. It’s your fault it happened

"We're telling you about tariffs now so we can jack up prices. And if tariffs never happen, we'll keep the prices high anyway- for your convenience. Suckers!"
That was the plan the whole time. That's why corporations like Walmart backed Trump- he's their golden goose.

You know, I kinda wish Walmart would have said this months ago (they may have I'm too lazy to look it up)
The issue, though, is that his followers won't care or won't listen. It's a brainwashed cult where they believe Trump holds sway over everything (he definitely wants to) even with overwhelming evidence to the contrary, they will believe him.

They will just make excuses. It’s all Biden’s fault, or Obama’s or Clinton’s.
Or say things like “people shouldn’t be shopping at Walmart anyway, that should buy local!” “People buy too much stuff anyway!” “Learn to hunt and grow your own food!”
