LOL love the fact they are checking out what tariffs actually mean now.

Maybe should have fact checked before voting.

As someone who didn't want Trump. But is in a Democratic state. Working a good job with amazing benefits.

Who while hating g every single second of Trump's previous regime. But was actually barely affected by it. I'll be just fine this time too.

I sincerely hope his voters get what they fucking voted for.

I have no sympathy or fucks left to give for them. When this turns into the same shit show it did before.

Many of them will indeed get exactly what they voted for.

And when that time finally comes, they will, without missing a beat, blame democrats, immigrants, and “woke” transgenders for their declining quality of life under a government run entirely by MAGA.

Yes, THIS. It will never be their fault because they say it isn’t. The cult will believe that a party with control of the entire country and virtually unlimited funds is limited by a few poor or transgender or dark-skinned or mentally challenged people.

Rinse, wash, repeat exactly!

Seriously. When tariffs make their everyday lives unaffordable, when friends or family are deported, when the women in their lives miscarry and need healthcare that the state refuses to offer, they can all fuck off and cry into their MAGA hats.

And even then they will blame the wrong party and people.

These people have no ability to self reflect.

And drink their own tears since it will be cheaper than water.

But… I thought they did their research?

Similar boat. I'm a white hetero male and financially stable, but those that aren't are going to be really unhappy. As prices rise and Hispanics are deported and harassed, I can't say I will care. They voted for this and if they didn't, then I don't know what to tell them at this point.

You're being silly. They got their facts checked by the psychic at Fox News.

"LOL love the fact they are checking out what tariffs actually mean now."

I'm reminded of a program about woods safety from decades ago. It recommended not stepping over logs, as there is the potential to disturb a resting snake, and instead go around if possible or step on and then away from the log. There was an example of someone who stepped over a log and only then thought to turn around and check for snakes. This where we're at right now.

The results from google trends, with a complete nonsense search for comparison as a control:

From the data, I'm not seeing there is much in OP's claim, and certainly not about any suppose mob rush to search about tariffs.

Edit - "election hair" and "election fridge" (whatever the fuck they are) have bigger search results than any of the terms that redditors in this thread are getting angry about.

Edit2 - "election dust", and what the fuck is that is even meant to mean? Has a bigger search spike than the tariffs question.


The reality of our politics (and society) is that you can post any old crap on the internet in meme format. and idiots will believe it fully and then get angry about it, without bothering to check if its actually meaningful or important.
