    Can we stop with these “and then everyone clapped stories” it’s just as bad as the fake trans stories conservatives made up to make themselves angry.

    Just was at the grocery store. Was joking around with cashier, he and the bag boy talked about the ad playing over the loudspeakers about avocados from Mexico. They seemed nice. He finishes ringing me up and I groan. He says he’s really looking forward to prices coming down in the next four years. I started laughing at him, saying that’s not how tariffs work and that we’re all fucked.

    What a wonderful day in the neighborhood.

      Even absent the tariffs, its crazy to think prices will be coming down under a government that loves the idea of price gouging and speculation.

    Yes but Trump, Musk, Thiel, and other billionaires will get a little bit richer and all they had to do was tell a bunch of stupid fucking yokels that it’s okay to be bigoted trash.

    I sincerely doubt most of these stories are actually happening. It’s true. But I doubt the actual interaction occurred. Seeing this same story different ways all over the internet. I live in a region surrounded by right wingers and aside from those flags and occasional hats, I hardly ever hear anyone outright talk about their politics.

      I actually believe it because it’s exactly what happened in brexit. Conservatives voted to leave and then they found out what that meant.

      Conservatives were so focused on winning that they didn’t bother to actually look into Trump’s “policies” and are now Pikachu faced when understanding it.

      These are the same assholes that are going to completely forget two years from now that Trump raised prices and will still vote Republican in the midterms.
