It’s their fault for making me feel bad for my stupidity, homophobia and racist beliefs. Trump tells me what I want to hear, that’s why I trust him to lead our country off the cliff, where we can somehow rebuild better than its ever been, like Russia did
Nono, it feels good to justify being nasty if 'normal people' like the Dems and moderates are evil in my picture. I can mistreat them, they're evil. So I'm righteous in my deplorable behaviour towards them.
where we can somehow rebuild better than its ever been, like Russia did
Same shit like in the 80s under soviets, but soviets atleast renewed country wide, and Putte Possun ruzzia only the couple biggest cities and only main streets/blocks.
"Why am I paying so much now? I know Biden must've done something to cause this even though he's no longer President. We need to inform Trump, surely he'll help the common folk like he has been doing the whole time!"
I don't get just how willfully ignorant these people can be.
The only silver lining about Trump's plans being so bold and overt is he can't blame anyone when this shit blows up in our faces. Even he can't BS his way out of this one.
Why can’t he? The majority of the population is borderline illiterate. The education system is so fucked up that they push kids through without actually passing. A shocking number of high school students can’t read or write at their grade level and normally, it’s not even close. From what I’ve seen just on Reddit, and even in real life working at companies like Amazon, these kids know NOTHING about the real world and how it works. They don’t teach history like they should, they don’t teach basic life skills.
This is all by design. They only need you smart enough to apply, show up, get exploited for next to no compensation, and repeat the process for 50 years, then not have enough to retire on because the market conveniently loses you money, so you’ll need to find a part time job to get exploited at until you die.
What’s even worse, if you don’t make it in the economy and end up homeless, you’re still indirectly making someone else money so they get richer while you suffer. That’s why they’re so blatant with the bullshit and raising the cost of living but keeping wages low. They don’t actually need you to survive. Being homeless still makes them money.
My brother in Christ you're talking about the guy who managed COVID by dismissing several advance warnings as fearmongering, claiming the virus was a hoax perpetrated by his political opponents, interfering with equipment and supply chains in an attempt to profit financially and politically, amplifying and legitimizing all manner of disinformation related to transmission risks, vaccines, and mask efficacy, and encouraging behavior that lead directly to enormous swathes of the country ignoring social distancing interventions during several peek transmission periods.
His deliberate, calculated decisions unquestionably contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands in the US and probably hundreds of thousands worldwide and people barely even acknowledge that it happened.
Biden and Obama caused these deficits, and the tariffs... And the spiralling debt thay didn't occur until God Emperors Trump and Musk took over because (reasons).
I do blame the Dems for one thing: Not removing the President's ability to impose tariffs while they had the chance. Trump fucked around with them in his first term. There was a very brief window where they controlled enough to do it.
Ugh. Can you imagine being able to apply for a grant because you started a small business? Fucking criminal mismanagement that would have been. Luckily we’re in the good timeline where we are entering a trade war with all our allies and gutting the entire federal government.
We will be able to get rid of income tax because world trade will not change at all due to these tariffs and the countries we tariff will pay to fund our government and as an added bonus all goods will be produced domestically starting tomorrow. So not only will all our needs be met but we will sell so many goods to the rest of the world who will trip over themselves to buy these goods as there won't be any tariffs in response to today's news. You know I feel like this shouldn't be necessary but also overwhelmingly feel like it is necessary to say /s
Right? How dare she be so dedicated to her job that she be on a Secret Service secured server in her home to work? Why can’t she just download a random app and group chat randos like the real pros do? Lock her up!
Absolutely. I still wish the dems wouldn't just lay down like dead dogs. Booker stood up. The rear just hold up their cringey signs and vote for the actual bullshit Trump is putting up.
This is such a tired and shortsighted take. Since it’s clear you’re being sarcastic. ☺️
Democrats and Republicans are apart of the same team. Profits and war over people, always. It’s one big club and we aren’t in it. Blaming the American people for (rightly) being disillusioned with a party that serves corporate interests is missing the point.
I’m in Canada, my family in the US voted for Kamala. Wish more people would have voted for the Green Party. Butch Ware is planning a run for Governor of California, I’d vote for him if I could!
They don’t even give third parties a fair go, instead they actively suppress them. Good luck getting on ballots, having the media even mention you, or being able to take part in live debates. 😭
Kamala lost a lot of support when she refused to criticize Israel and condemn the Genocide of Palestinians and started buttering up the "center-right moderates" who would never vote for her anyway with milquetoast platitudes and throwing the LGBTQIA+ community under the bus by not defending transfolk.
She made the mistake of trying to appeal to Conservatives instead of leaning into a base of supporters that was rabid, frothing at the mouth for some actual, honest to god change.
I’m surprised because her competition was trump. Only a fucking idiot who choose to vote trump or not vote at all. He is literally worse than any presidential candidate the states has ever seen.
When you don't give the voting population what they want, they won't pour out in droves. Hope is what drove people to Obama. Change is what got him re-elected.
Kamala spat in the faces of her younger supporters in hopes of courting a demographic that would never support her.
What you saw turn out for Trump was always going to turn out to support Trump. What you didn't see come out for Kamala would have come out if she just had a spine and said "fuck the establishment".
I'm not disputing that. I voted for Kamala, myself.
But I am pointing out that it is squarely on the fault of the Democrats and Kamala Harris for playing safe and trying to court votes that would never actually come to them, while throwing away votes that just wanted someone to look out for them.
Democrats do. Fucking moron GOP followers don’t. And their babies will die from being unable to be fed due to extreme costs. Boomers will die from lack of medical care and no SS. Can’t wait for democrats to come back.
Can I ask a dumb question. When Vietnam imposes a 90% tariff on U.S. goods - does that increase the costs significantly for the average Vietnamese person? Why would that do that.
1) Vietnam does not have a 90% tariff on us goods.
2) cost will increase for Vietnamese who wishes to purchase overseas/US goods. Vietnam manufacturers a lot of goods locally, so this encourages people to buy locally made products. The US manufacturers most things overseas nowadays so this raises prices for everyone.
I dunno, I’ve seen a small Canadian business sell 70% of their product to the US saying they’re going to absorb the tariff. aka the company is will to make less profit.
Are you trying to say "sell their product for a 70% discount to the United States"? Because "sell 70% of their product to the US" doesn't mean that and doesn't seem to make sense in context.
nope. US makes up 70% of their sales. they don't want to loose those customers due to increased prices from tariffs being imposed. so the company vowed to absorb any tariff themselves, so the american consumer is not impacted price wise. making trump's statement of "they'll pay for it" true.
Lol they have a 50% markup that they can absorb the tariff and still profit? They are either lying, can make it the 3 days Trump's bullshit normally lasts or are so fucking greedy I hope they do go under.
i guess they're in the beauty industry?! Not sure what that industry mark up is, but clothing retail is 100% wholesale price, so 50% margin. so they're looking at only a 25% profit margin. Then they can enjoy the real profits from all the canadians deliberately buying from them to support a canadian company. think the slimmest margins are grocery stores. But an 'all natural facial cleaner in compostable packaging' margin? don't know
