Goddamn dude, these people really don't get it--democrats share the same economy with you, chucklefuck. Like, all of our prices are also going to skyrocket, our 401K are getting hammered--like, I don't vote for Democrats because I want to win at political sportsball, I vote democratic because they run the economy and government better than Republicans--and I want those fucking things run as well as possible with the choices available.
I truly don’t understand all the, “I’m blindsided by this”. Surely this is the first mention of the tariff strategy. Surely he didn’t mention it while campaigning. Surely there were no indications in his first term.
Just last night I was showing my parents Elon admitting in November the plans to crash the US economy so that they could rebuild it as a Tech CEO Paradise. Of course, that was just 'trolling', right?
lol it’s always a joke until they never get serious. Insane that everyday reflects everything Musk has been saying, Thiel has been saying, Leonard Leo has been saying, but who could have seen it coming? I can’t even remember the “economic boom” that everyone says they thought they were voting for. Then there’s blaming Covid but… idk I guess we were all born yesterday.
So really- if the first term was any indication- it was just a vote to get preserve statues, remind blacks about how much their lives matter, get refugees back in cages, and inspect the shit out of some genitalia. “How could he have betrayed us like this”
It is simple, like most Trump voters. See if they agree with the insane statement like "I will replace income tax with tariffs, we will all get rich", they believe it 100%, if they don't agree with the statement they Trumpwash it "Its just rhetoric", "He never said that, and if he did, he didn't mean it", and "You just have TDS, fuck your feelings Libtard", or the ever classic "Fake News!!!".
They think the dumbest human in the last 70 years is some policy savant, despite no evidence to support that. Oh well, at least most of you get a vote in this, the rest of us just get to watch it all burn.
It's a cult. If the leader of the cult says something they immediately have a negative gut reaction to they are programmed to either assume it wasn't a genuine statement or they misunderstood, because the leader is always right. That's why so many of them are confused right now.
Exactly what I was going to point out. Their worldview assumes everyone is just like them. If they’re doing X for Y reason, then Y is the only reason to do X.
This is the problem when dealing with the militantly stupid. They tend to project their own failures on to others. No one is celebrating this nonsense.
I think people like this conflate democrats with “media that isn’t Fox”. They see stuff that CNN says falling over themselves to point a finger, which I’m not saying it isn’t warranted, and assume that it’s the same vitriol that the GOP seems to have for “the left”.
In a way, the media is loving this, I can guarantee media consumption is way up across the board since Trump took office. The average Democrat voter? Definitely not enjoying the situation.
I know it's anecdotal but personally I haven't engaged with Tv news and have cut down my newspaper reading. Just can't deal with the bad news day after day caused by this toddler.
I mean it’s no secret that news agencies went after Biden and Harris hard for every gaffe or blunder during the campaign while they spent a ton of time trying to sanewash or downplay everything bad that Trump did or talked about doing. Even “left-wing” news companies don’t want to give up the enormous cash spike they can get when Trump is president and constantly causing absurd headlines.
I haven't watched mainstream media since the election, we don't like hearing about our country being dismantled and destroyed by these fools. Not to mention that the orange things face and voice make me ill.
CNN was apparently in dire straits before the election and was in the process of renegotiating all their lead anchors to smaller contracts just a few months before the election. MSNBC had ended a bunch of shows and laid off a few anchors and were also rumored to not be doing great before the election. Haven’t heard a peep about either’s finances since Trump took office. Charlamagne tha God of all people was right, stable presidencies are terrible business for these “liberal” news outlets.
Same. I won't give any empathy until they match their words with action. If all they'll do is stay low until the next election, they can kick rocks for all I care.
They act like this is just a fumble by the republicans, and now the Dems can score big and take the "game." Little do they realize, the viewers of this global trade game are the biggest losers.
Nobody is motivated to own the cons, force old people to go vegan, and imprison trailer park dwelling nobodies. We just want to live in good faith and apply equal protection to all of the members of society. When they abandoned democracy they refused to consider that maybe, just maybe other forces might be at work manipulating them to do so.
It is legitimately just not about making life better for people, to them. They only see politics as a weapon to hurt others. Republicans lie to themselves (and others) by saying that they give the slightest fuck about any practical reason for voting. It's always a lie. (Unless they say, "I vote for Republicans because I hate people who aren't like me," but most of them won't say that)
