“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.

    Maybe this will wake up these MAGA morons to pay attention to policy and not culture war manipulation when they vote? Doubt it, but here’s to hope.

      Ask any trump voter why they voted for trump. They will say “because I like his policies more”. Ask them which policy do they think will benefit them, they will have no answer.

    Given the way voters and non voters work, it’s pretty clear that there was a huge number how voted or de facto voted for him.

    Eventually he farts out a truth… You got what you voted for. It’s just the many morons that voted didn’t understand tariffs, basic human decency, or that fascism=bad.

      Exactly, this is not the policies of just one (although completely mental) guy. This is republican politics.

    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.

    You signed up for all of it and everyone that was opposite of you told you it’s fucking predictable it was going to happen. Even yelled out project 2025, it was right there in your face. But you don’t read a damn thing, of course you weren’t going to read that book like you don’t read the Bible. Stop. Falling. For. Obvious. Bullshit.

      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.

          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.
