They STILL don’t get it? Everyone has been yelling about exactly what would happen. The news, social media, people protesting in the streets… even Fox News is critical of the Tariffs now. Journalists are bringing it up at White House press conferences and getting reaponses from the Press Secretary. This is not a secret. What sort of social bubble/echo chamber, do these people live in? Just fully bought in to the kool-aid. Useful idiots, the lot of them!
They have been conditioned to believe that the mainstream media is evil and constantly lies to them in order to facilitate the woke communist takeover and destruction of the USA.
So it would be an understatement to say they are working from a position of willful ignorance.
I really don’t want it to be the answer either… But as I get older it’s the only thing that makes sense. And honestly I don’t think it’s limited to party lines (which has me rethinking some of my beliefs - what’s the point of supporting the party that aims for a social safety net if they’re too feckless to ever make it happen).
These kind of people get all their news from FreedomEagle on facebook or some angry guy with a red face and oakleys on youtube because mainstream news is woke dei
To be fair, everyone has been yelling about a lot of things. I even notice a lot of stupid things said against Trump, which is frustrating, because imagine you’re hearing all those stupid things said and you’re not already committed to an anti-Trump ideology - then how will you believe when you hear the real anti-Trump things said?
Having half an ounce of curiosity, sense, and genuine interest in how the world works is a good start. What’s sad is that that is apparently asking too much.

People are incredibly stupid.
I think this is the right answer. I really don’t want to believe this is true, but I think it is.

People are incredibly stupid and technology / politics isolates that stupidity and builds upon it to make mindless propaganda drones.
Social bubbles/echo chambers is exactly what has created this. Why did Musk buy X and Trump created his own social media?
Because Musk accidentally made an offer for Twitter and because Trump needed to take foreign bribes?
Now, why was Musk able to get the Saudis and others to help him bankroll that purchase?
The Saudi’s liked the idea of being able to censor and/or dox people who are anti-Saudi. I think they got their money’s worth tbh…
So they have leverage over him

@kryptonianCodeMonkey @TheBat Very difficult for a cult member to deprogram themselves
