He’s right. When the bulk of tariffs’ impact hits, it’s going to be much, much worse than it is now.

Yes, comrades, Emmanuel Goldstein has struck again. Obviously this is all his doing.

You know, I made the exact same comment and made the exact same prediction yesterday, while watching their dumbass “first 100 days” press breifing. I would normally say that great minds think alike, however the damn book was not supposed to be an instruction manual.

LOL, DUMBASS.

He was handed an economy that was the envy of the world, and now look at it.

What a freaking business GENIUS.

“Nothing to do with tariffs”. You have to be a special kind of idiot - donvict-tier level idiot - to buy that. He’s fucked this country and fucked it so hard. And we haven’t even begun to see the real long-term consequences yet.

I’m sure that if we even still have free and fair elections, that if the Democrats get in power, they’ll have to work to pull us out of the ditch, all the while the Fifth Column media will blame the Democrats for not doing it fast enough. Just like the last fucking times. I wish the Democrats would start doing real smashmouth politics if they ever even get one iota of power back. No more of this trying to uphold “norms” by “reaching across the aisle” to the “gentlemen” from such and such state. FUCK THAT NOISE. Obama did that most of his two terms, and kept pulling back a stump when he’d offer them an olive branch. And that’s what happened to a right-leaning centrist like Obama.

FFS.

That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not my fault. <-- here

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

I hope all the republicans realize what horrible people they are before they die.

With the tariffs being randomly lifted it seems like we’re at ‘i didn’t mean it’

Privately, not publicly. And I think that chart is mostly about what step they are willing to say out loud so far. Since they need outside approval, when they fuck up, which is often, this is the tried and true path to get the least flack from the people they want to be praising them as soon as possible again.

The regular narcissists in your life follow it too, it’s practically instinct.

They won’t, and will live long comfortable lives with their obscene amounts of money rather than being hanged as traitors like they should.

You’re forgetting the poor uneducated rural voters who will directly suffer by their own hands, yet again.

Can anyone remind me why we give the dumbest and least productive of us the most representation and govt handouts?

Oh, you’re talking about Republican voters. They also won’t, and will blame DEI, woke, and Democrats for all their problems 'til the day they die.

He mishandled covid leading to lots of extra death and when they wouldn’t elect him again he organized a lynch mob to storm the capitol and we all watched both crisis play out live on TV. None the less 94% of those who consider themselves Republicans voted for Trump in 2024. They are absolutely incapable of learning.

If we literally become the nazis and round up and murder millions before Trump offs himself in a bunker they will find a way to blame it on the Democrats and make Trump the victim then vote for someone who venerates him. We literally can’t fix them nor expect them to be fixed. We can only work on the folks in the middle the famous persuadable voter eg those too stupid to have a clear position.
