  • I thought it was kinda cool he was mad at Trump for 24 hours straight. This shit takes a lot of physical effort, especially for a 55 year old.

    Highly performative though. Not saying it was useless, because it definitely was a statement. It was not yet a "step in the right direction, but at least a “slight bend of the neck to maybe someday start looking in the right direction”. Now I would like every other congressional Democrat to follow it up with something. Furiously voting against absolutely everything the MAGA terrorists propose, no matter what. Call Mike Johnson a cuck live on C-Span, every day. Lock MTG in the bathroom. Create 100 policy proposals for the docket, every day and from everyone until the .txt list is 500 Petabyte big.

    Shut congress down. Completely, until Trump is gone. This is war.







  • Not saying you’re automatically wrong, but that is 36 days old, which is 5 years in Trump years. A lot more people have been fired since then. More telling, Republicans just recently prevented a snap election in an usually safe district for fears their party might lose it. Even if Trump’s personal approval is high (and 44% is not exactly convincing either), the GOP as a whole seems in deep trouble.

    Meh. This meme is straight up lifted from /pol/, and people there usually go “I voted for this EXACTLY” when news break about how foreigners are abducted from streets and Vance is preparing for an ideological war with Europe.

    “Moderates” and old geezer Republicans fell for his lies (again), big surprise. You won’t find them here. The people who made this meme (originally about Israel by the way) only lament how Trump has still not publicly executed Obama and Pelosi.












  • He seems to consider them in a vacuum.

    “Prices rise, but that’s only a temporary problem for plebs refusing to buy American. Once US manufacturing catches up, they will buy American and all is well.”

    That is of course incomplete and ignores the very real problem of manufacturing PARTS and raw resources also being affected. If not by Trumps tariffs, then by retaliatory ones from other countries. It also squashes your own export market. All of that together will leave prospective American factory bosses with a choice: Will they build a factory in the US and deal with higher prices and less customers, or will they build a factory in India, where they can export to every country on this planet (except the US but who cares) and have quick and cheap access to Chinese and Russian raw resources and a cheap labor pool?
