This is the kind of creature comfort inconvenience that will tank this administration’s popularity. Americans are fickle and will not accept this kind of disruption to their lives.

    One can only hope, but knowing how fucking stupid my right-wing, sycophantic, fellow countrymen are I doubt much will change.

    Pretty sure everyone who voted against him already hates him though.

    I’ve been feeling like there are quite a few parallels to the Brexit mess in this past election and this administration’s policies. It took a while for the reality of Brexit to evaporate away the magical thinking; I think it’s just a matter of time before the same happens here as the cost of living shoots up as a result of these tariffs.

    Despite some similarities, the demographics in the US are just a completely different beast.

    Our Christians are insane. Fox News has poisoned the minds of potentially hundreds of millions of Americans. American exceptionalism and the lie of "the American dream" has irrevocably cooked the collective minds of essentially our entire population.

    I’m going to hold onto the spark of your optimism until I can light my own; your perspective does help and I hadn’t considered it. Thank you /gen /pos
