When ABC News' Terry Moran asked Pres. Donald Trump to respond to voters who may be concerned that rising costs are not what they "signed up for," Trump responded: "Well, they did sign up for this actually."
I would agree that generally speaking the folks who voted for Trump wanted the things he's doing.
I don't think they want the outcome of the things he's doing but is it really American voters fault that they are completely incapable of thinking that actions have consequences?
They want bad things to happen to people they don't like. They are only upset because they are catching stray bullets. "He's not hurting the right people!" is a meme for a reason. It's how reactionaries think the world works.
: "So what if costs increase for me as long as it's worse for the 
?"
I learned about the Hawley-Smoot Tariffs back in high school and why they aggravated the conditions that would snowball into The Great Depression
I guess everyone else was busy drawing the Cool S or something involving The Monkees
To be fair, you can't blame Americans too much for thinking that voting doesn't have consequences because of all the times it doesn't.
And I think they still want the things he is doing and are in denial about the consequences (anecdotal)
I don't think the libs have come to terms that a plurality of Trump supporters are tautologically Trump supporters. Like, they support Trump because their identity is supporting Trump. They define themselves as Trump supporters. Their first principle is "Trump is right, he's my guy".
something something non-falsifiable orthodoxy something
During the trade war, the fascist ideological framework could transform any data about existing amerikkkan society into positive evidence. If Trump refused to negotiate a point, he was playing hardball and forcing the enemy's hand; if he appeared willing to make concessions, this was skillful diplomacy. By enforcing high tariffs, he was combatting the trade deficit; but when in fact he rolled back most tariffs, it was because he understood the art of the deal. If the stock market was down, this demonstrated that foreign interests were manipulating the economy; but if the line went up, this meant the people were embracing the regime's policies. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of communist infiltration; if they didn't go on strike (because they were intimidated and lacked freedom) it represented satisfaction with employment. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the need to re-shore manufacturing; an improvement in grocery prices meant that the leaders were listening to the population's needs.
If conservative parties in other countries suffered massive electoral losses while mirroring Trump's policies, this was only because the elections were rigged by a massive leftist conspiracy. How one rigged elections without holding any semblance of political power was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.
New copypasta?
People have just gone "all in" on Trump. Part of it can probably be explained with "sunk cost" but I think it's mainly a symptom of people struggling with the confusion and hardship of the modern political/economic landscape. It's not even unique to the right, tbh. "Blue no matter who" is the same phenomenon, as are people going all-in on idpol or even anarchism or communism. Before anyone gets mad about those last ones, just think of all the ardent reds who know basically nothing about theory (I'm not totally innocent of that characterization myself).
“You people are so stupid you deserve this”
JDPON Don is at it again
Unlimited Tariffs on all Treats

Classic abuser shit and he's doing it to an entire country no less!
Mr President I am your most senior advisor and my official recommendation is - ignore the haters, keep saying things like this.
lol, one of my local chuds still has a "Trump lower prices ~~Kamala higher prices~~(they actually duct taped over this part 
)" yard sign out
I wonder if they'll finally take it in after the latest update 
Trump lower prices Kamala higher prices(they actually duct taped over this part )
And they have this up without a hint of irony?
True, but this feels little lib to say

Some other more rank stuff in there, he's a real piece of shit.
irony is dead
Is that...evil Ludwig?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought he didn't really get on this whole tariff train till after he was elected.
He did in fact make promises during his campaign to impose tariffs. The funny thing is that US politics have devolved into "Trump" versus "not Trump" and the narrative doesn't focus on policy at all
Pretty sure that’s what he was talking about when he “got shot”.
Who can keep track of what he says anyway.
