As an American, my personal opinion is that America deserves all the pain in inflicts upon itself by electing literal morons and spineless idiots year after year, culminating in the literal Idiocracy America has become.

Americans elected a dumb asshole, and natural consequences followed.
This might be my new favorite publication
And I know I'm not gonna see so much as one picosecond of displeased facial expression from any of you "the Democrats didn't impress me enough" non-voters, since this is what you decided was an acceptable outcome.
I don’t know who is worse. Those “the democrats don’t impress me” people or the “both sides are the same” people…
And I bet it'll be "the hottest Summer on record" too
So far
The coolest one for the rest of our lives probably
"Hot Tariff Summer"
America wants this
No we don't. Outside of rich assholes who stand to profit, not a single American wants this. We are just too stupid to handle the conman who tells us to our face that he's going to ruin is.
There is a line from "Going Postal" which sums it up amazingly, but I can't find the quote. Something to the effect of "I tell them what I am, I show them how the cards are marked, and they smile and nod to each other, and think themselves fine fellows for doing business with me."
It's infuriating. We could use a Vetrinati just now.
We are just too stupid to handle the conman
There are an unpleasant number of US citizens who thing we're going be able to use his bullshit to their advantage and that's why they're in it for him.
Yes they do.
not a single American wants this.
1/3 openly wants to suck Trumps dick and loves everything he does. 1/3 didn’t care to get off their couch, so they’ve openly accepted what Trump is going to do, none of which should be a surprise unless you decided to cut yourself off from politics, which means you just don’t care.
The only people that didn’t want this is the remaining 1/3 that voted against Trump. As for the rest of you, this is all on you. You wanted this and you’re going to get it.
They one third, and to an extent the second third, want the racism, the homophobia, the dismantling of government, maybe even the wreckage of the US as an international power.
None of them wanted higher prices.
Oh blow it out your ass.
"All of them want this!"
"1/3 want this!"
Firstly, be consistent. Secondly, the 1/3 that voted in favor voted for the lies they were told (and to hurt brown people).
Nobody voted for that moron because of what he would actually do. Those aware voted against. Those in favor bought all the lies.
Either way you're full of shit.
Project 2025 was well known and illustrated before he ran for election and was pushed in the media leading up to the election.
If you didn’t know what Trump was going to do then that is on your for burying your head in the sand and refusing to listen.
Nothing I said is inconsistent.
If you buried your head in the sand then you ACCEPT whatever comes your way. Basically, you asked for this and now you get it.
If you voted for Trump then you openly wanted this because everything he said he was going to do he is DOING. In addition to that most of what you see him doing today he also did in his first term.
Sorry bruh but there is no argument here you can make. If any one of you dumb asses didn’t want this then you should have voted against him. But you didn’t. You either sat on your fat ass or you voted Trump. Either way you’re getting what you asked for.
The one that can blow it out of their ass is you. I have no sympathy for you or your moronic opinion.
Anyone who didn't know what he would do was willfully ignorant
Aww, do the facts hurt your poor wittle feelings??
Nobody cares.
Appreciate you succinctly explaining why you belong on my block list.
Crash and burn
Totally not true
Which part?
Not defending that guy's assertion but there's some things the article ignored in order to be a little more of a doomer take. Notably the 35% preloading of inventory and the bit about if Trump removed the tarrifs today it would be too late. Those two parts contradict. We are overstocked on inventory for now and the clock is ticking (as far as the big retailers go). However the US's reputation is marred on the world stage and trade deals are worthless with a conman. So yep, even if he drops tarrifs we're screwed, but it'll be a while still until shelves are empty.
