It sucks that many will suffer, but that’s the reason democracy is a double edged sword. Trump supporters would posit that they “suffered” a liberal agenda (what does that even mean?). So now everyone else get to suffer (in much more real ways).

Found the Proud Boy.

you’re apparently a moron

Big same.  I hope they fucking choke on it.

Canada is also dealing with its own political shit show as well I think.

No thats a trump policy.

Being a leftist doesn’t mean being a mindless bleeding-heart. There’s plenty of people out there who don’t deserve a shred of compassion or sympathy, and whose confused cries of betrayal in the coming months will be the only bitter solace to those of us who know how the world works. I don’t think that necessarily…

I’d call it selective humanity. The party of ‘personal responsibility’ needs to understand what that means.

Cost of domestic production may actually be higher than the tariffs anyway.

They’ll just say we need to drill more without understanding the details of oil producing and refinement as well as the macro economics of the oil industry.

Remember when the price of a 2x4 hit close to $10 during the pandemic? Different reasons now, but get ready for that to be the new normal.

Not a criticism and I feel the same way, but that’s how his supporters have always felt also, which is why they’ll knowingly vote against their own material interests if people they hate also benefit.

I’m not forgetting about them.

I’m up in Canada and I can say there is plenty of nervousness here about what’s to come for the US.  Unfortunately we are tied to the US in more ways than we care to admit and will ultimately suffer right along side you as Captain Creamsicle does his worst impression of a president.  This will be a long 4 years ahead…

The thing about price increases and corporations is that when prices go up, they rarely(if ever) go down. By the time ‘US manufacturing catches up’, us Americans are so used to the higher price that the corporations will just leave them high and continue to rake in profits. Tariffs are terrible for everyone except…

Get a load of this putz.

Same. Since November I’ve done everything I can to avoid watching the news as well as being more selective about what I read, simply for my own mental health.

Now they have pivoted to “yes things will get more expensive for a little bit but that’s only until US manufacturing catches up.”

Interesting that in no way did I mention death. But given that I mentioned them- meaning whoever trump appoints to do his bullshit- would come for your family first- then you I guess made the next logical conclusion: That trump is exactly what I suggested. Maybe you should think more.

The biggest problem with that is the people who wanted this are too stupid to know why things are more expensive. They’ll be blaming Biden/Dems for the next 4 years for anything that goes wrong while praising Trump for anything that goes well in their life. Any real correlation or causation will be completely ignored.
