Oh look, he’s doing exactly what he said he’d do. He advertised his intentions but stupid people didn’t pay attention. My relationship with my mother ended because she voted for him again. Whoops, you voted to hurt yourself.

Even in an authoritarian regime, popularity still matters. Political scientists estimate that governments are in danger when at least 3.5% of the population is in the streets. The No Kings protests reached about 2%, and his popularity is still going down. If he were smart, he'd be extremely worried about that.
I'm not. The next phase of Trumpism won't need votes from citizens, only from Congress....
There’s no way we could have known he’d use tariffs to extract bribes.
The thing he openly campaigned on and that they knowingly voted for is a “red flag” for them, now?

He told you dipshits beforehand that he was going to do this shit. FFS, facepalm, JFC, etc. These people are just so goddamn stupid.
From Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariffs_in_the_second_Trump_administration#Planning
While campaigning for his second term as US president, Trump pledged even larger tariffs than his first term, including 60% on China, 100% on Mexico, and 20% on all other countries. He also proposed tariffs to penalize US companies that outsourced manufacturing, such as a 200% tariff on John Deere. Trump also suggested replacing income taxes with tariff revenue—an idea economists from the Tax Foundation deemed "mathematically impossible".[37] 23 Nobel Prize-winning economists signed a letter warning that Trump's policies, including high tariffs, would "lead to higher prices, larger deficits, and greater inequality".[38][39]
I mean....
Since the 1980s, Trump has advocated for import tariffs as a tool to regulate trade and retaliate against foreign nations that he believes have taken advantage of Americans.[15] In his campaigns for the US presidency, Trump promised to use tariffs to achieve a wide range of goals, including preventing war, reducing trade deficits, improving border security, and subsidizing childcare.[16] Although Trump has said foreign countries pay his tariffs, US tariffs are fees paid by US consumers and businesses while importing foreign goods.[17][16][18][19]
Emphasis mine
Trump's supporters are nearly evenly split on whether he should require Congressional approval to impose tariffs or if he should possess the sole authority.
I read this as half of Trump voters are fascists. Which is less than I thought.
What do you call someone who sits at the table with a fascist? Even if they verbally disagree with them.
Sounds like some of them haven't gotten their full updates yet. Trying to run a republican on old software can cause odd responses or straight up glitches.
But not the lying, the raping, the trampling of the constitution, the racism, the sexism, the homophobia or the transphobia? Just the tariffs, huh?
He has zero legal authority to be imposing the vast majority of these tariffs.
He can do whatever the fuck he wants, as long as half of Congress permits him to do so by not impeaching him.
- Roughly one in four Trump voters expressed concerns that the tariffs are damaging the US's ability to negotiate trade agreements with other nations.
If you ever wondered how stupid your average Nazi was, 3/4 don't think he's harming trade relations
I don't think they're smart enough to think PEDOnald's tariffs are behind the price hikes. They'll hork down whatever bullshit he wants them to believe just fine.
So this is the line? This is the straw that broke the camels back?
I'm willing to accept former Trump voters into the ranks of reality.
My only conditon: get on the ground and fucking beg for it.
I doubt that'll do any good. Actively volunteering to help communities ravaged by fascism would be far more useful and humbling
Oh fuck off with this click bait nonsense. The "poll" by politico was just 1200 people who self identified as trump supporters. 25% said they believe Trump's tariffs will hurt American businesses while 63% said they think his tariffs will help American businesses.
There is no such thing as trump supporters turning on him. This is a lie being fabricated in front of your eyes. I want to see the fascist taken down as badly as anyone, but lies like this help noone.
The one consistent part of his entire campaign.... Is the things they might not like. Wtaf
Naw maga fam, you get at least two christmases of explaining to your kids why tariffs mean santa can't bring as many toys. Fuck you, you don't get off that easy, you simple jacks and basic cindies.
My message to maga...well, he's a dangerous idiot being told what to do by dangerous, evil people. We told you he was, and we told you they were. You voted for him anyway, and so now, YOU'RE all idiots for doing so.
