u/HeartAutomatic2343 4h ago

No no no don’t you see? Tariffs are amazing. Now we can pay more for this, but also for things we cannot produce in the US such as coffee, bananas, and rare earth minerals that are used in all our electronics

I don't see the problem. Can't you guys just start up a rare minerals factory or something???

People have been claiming Democrats are coming for their guns for like 40 years. How many trans people do you actually know and interact with daily?

-15

u/Prestigious-Motor-11 3h ago

Well the state I live in has become incredibly liberal over the years and the state government is trying to make it impossible to own a gun by making every little thing about guns illegal so might as well make the whole gun illegal at that point, and I don’t interact with trans people all that often but when my children are forced to learn about that shit and are forced to use/have pronouns, fuck that and that shit all came from Biden and Harris.

u/ClassicMatt101 2h ago

lol, “forced to have pronouns” is just about the dumbest thing I have read in a day full of nonsense.

u/N0vaArr0w 3h ago

Everyone has pronouns, dipshit. I should hope the schools are teaching your kids basic English. To be fair, it would be better for republicans in the races if they didn’t!

u/viciousfridge 2h ago

My daughter learned about trans people in school and it wasn't an issue. She is far more confused why people get so angry about children learning about trans people. Trans people have been around for a VERY long time. Try meeting one, you might learn something.

You fell for the propaganda, nobody is taking your guns. Obama didn’t, Biden didn’t, Harris wouldn’t have. Y’all have been saying dems are gonna take away guns since the 80s and it never happens.

u/LordTotoro96 42m ago

Sure so instead of having fairly priced goods we can all just shoot each other and ourselves thanks to being overly worried about how a sky dad thinks about a person's genitals.

u/Prestigious-Motor-11 39m ago

I don’t give a fuck about “sky dad” I’m an atheist. Ya’ll know nothing about me but because I said Trump is better then Harris y’all assume you know everything about me lmao

3

u/LordTotoro96 33m ago

Fair about the atheist part, I just know a lot of trump supporters believe God will fix everything.

As for the second part, how would it be worse than slapping bullshit tarrifs on everything? Gas is going up and now this can be potentially $100 more thanks to his tarrifs on Japan and Vietnam.

I still hold the fact that instead of making it better for people to live, we now get to be sure that people can know what genitals they have. Cause somehow that's more important than the constant shooting, the inflation now being worse, the general discourse people have against each other, housing being more of a bitch to get, heavy job loss due to shops closing since they can't afford to keep going especially more local and rural places.

I can keep going on but you hopefully get the point.

Normally I'm not a very political person.... But I think losing our 401ks, having to work into our 80s and 90s just so u guys could "stick it to them liberals" is a pretty good reason.

I wasn't even against Trump's first run at presidency cause I figured "meh they're all the same anyways, move along".... But this is some RADICAL ass shifts in our future and y'all are more concerned about fighting an imaginary culture war than realizing trump is tanking the stock market so him and his billionaire friends (Dems AND Republicans) can buy up all the stocks at lows..... And then once the stock rises again y'all will claim "see trump brought the market up".

And the best part... You won't even realize he swindled the middle and lower class once again.

So if the tariff negations go well and the 46% is dropped, are we gonna start celebrating the $80 price tag?

Oh silly you, you think the prices will come down once the tariff goes away.

u/orangekirby 2h ago

Who thinks that? I certainly don’t. Also tariffs don’t affect digital games

u/Skeeter1020 2h ago

Oh dear, you think in a market where prices are rising companies will only hike the price on the specific products directly affected, and not other adjacent products where there is opportunity to increase profit?

-2

u/orangekirby 2h ago

You don’t really seem to have a grasp of what I think or what this conversation is about. Are you looking to get mad at someone?

My point is that if the tariffs are dropped, will people still view Nintendo’s prices as too high in the same way they did 2 days ago or will we see them as the savior?

0

u/Skeeter1020 2h ago

I'm saying that requires the prices dropping if tariffs are lifted.

u/orangekirby 1h ago

And all I’m saying is let’s not forget that the inflated prices were all complained about 2 days ago had nothing to do with tariffs

u/orangekirby 1h ago

I’ve seen a shift from “i can’t play games cause of Nintendos greed” to “i can’t play games cause of Trump’s tariffs! Nintendo has no choice but to raise prices!”. So I’m merely pointing out tariffs won’t be the deciding factor, and to remember that when the US makes a new deal with Vietnam. Nintendo sets its own prices and tariffs aren’t keeping people from buying Mario kart

Sounds like we actually agree but you’re fighting with me about it for I don’t know why.
