Can people in the mainstream press stop humanizing this crazy who is doing the historically bad thing for evil reasons and also theft?
I have bad news for you about who owns the “mainstream” press.
It’s called sane-washing, and it’s how Trump got elected, twice.
Yes, the mainstream press is equivalent to a government owned press.
Perhaps in a literal fashion too since all of these are owned by oligarchs who own the government. They have the same masters, he and the press.
Democrats of America, sure, have your fun and do your “I told ya so” tour, but this is also the critical moment where you have to get progressive voices in the party, front and center.
People will quickly find out that tariffs are a terrible revenue substitute for taxes just like when they tried it with Smoot-Hawley. Time to hammer home the things that did work, what brought in prosperity after the New Deal and into the 70s is 95% taxes on the wealthiest people in the world and union rights.
Is this a conscious bet or just a man-child literally unable to admit he’s wrong?
He never admits his mistakes. That’s his biggest weakness. Idk how he has gotten so far doubling down on every bad decision but here we are
Because his voters are equally ignorant and unable to admit they could ever be wrong.
If they were ever wrong, it means they aren’t secret super-geniuses that are just too smart for ‘the elite system’ and not just ignorant idiots who think with their balls.
To paraphrase a meme, the risk was calculated, but boy is Trump bad at math.
Yes
Look at the pretty pictures.
