“Well, they did sign up for it, actually. And this is what I campaigned on,” Trump said of the tariffs during an interview with ABC News that aired Tuesday.
And you can’t really argue with that.
46% of Americans still support all of this. We’re a doomed nation full of Nazis. I feel like it’s going to get genocide/Great Depression bad.
voters threw away their future so they could “help” the poor people in Gaza from getting bombed by “the evil democrats”. I SWORE UP AND DOWN voluntarily making things worse for us because it might help some poor people on the other side of the world was the wrong move and I was vilified for this opinion by everyone in existence.
Now Gaza is still getting bombed and they are additionally committing war crimes against American people instead of just Gazans. Fuck me. Even feral animals have the ability to watch out for themselves better than this season’s swing voters did.
I’m convinced those people spamming that shit were bots / Russians / shills. Because as soon as the Democrats lost, they were gone.
The problem is that the damage was done. For all of the intellectual superiority we like to profess, plenty on the left are dumb as bricks and easily swayed by propaganda and bullshit.
That being said, I’m not sure they’re wrong. World opinion is turning against the US and by extension what the administration stands for right now.
I won’t be surprised if the next elections mark a real turning point in support for Palestinians.
please no. If we elect another fascist in the off chance it might help Gaza i’m going to go fucking postal.
I’m not saying that we should. What I am saying is that worldwide opinion has turned against the US and it’s allies, this should help Palestinians.
Yes. Unfortunately we all have to suffer because a quarter of the US population is as ignorant as a box of rocks.
That being said, he also has the option of not destroying the US economy. Nobody is forcing him to recklessly abolish society.
Well, he’s right on that at least.
Tbf, some of the things he said or what’s on Project 2025 is there… people just voted for him cause he said, “I’ll make your price of eggs go lower.”
I heard some variant of, “He lies all the time, so I don’t think he’s serious about tariffs/Project 2025.”
Which is interesting to square with the thought of, “He tells it like it is, so I trust him.”
But I don’t live with chronic cognitive dissonance, which I assume these people accept as just another uncomfortable feeling humans have to live with. Like aches that persist with age, or feeling exhaustion at the thought of getting out of bed and going to work. That flicker of doubt from seeing that your beliefs contradict each other is just another sensation that needs to be suppressed and ignored.
Do we really think people voted Trump based on eggs? I think we need to read between the lines here.

Lower than the cost in September, that’s why they’re cheering him on for that
This is literally irrelevant. That was the height of the bird flu. It wasn’t Bidens fault and if Biden had been reelected it would have sorted itself out, most likely faster because Biden would have actually made decisions based on fact and science.
I never claimed they argued in good faith
He also said tariffs were a tax that other countries paid…so there may have been some confusion over what exactly they were agreeing to.
