And for once I honestly have to agree with this fat fascist.

Oh yeah, and a lot of trumpers love them. They’re still in denial. They’ll say it’s a roller coaster of emotions and that they hope things will be better, they hope Trump will make the right decisions, etc. But if you ask them point blank about the tariffs or any other policies, they’ll start by saying how great they are, then gradually talk about the concerns while still being hopeful. Again, it’s denial. They need to suffer more, unfortunately.

I mean but he also told them that others would pay for the tariffs and that prices would fall from day one. You take the whole incoherent rumbling and you could credibly argue that that they didn’t vote for one part of it but for all of it - an all or nothing proposition.

Well, I mean, yeah? He said he was going to do this. They voters chose him. And then he did it.

He also said the economy was going to boom, and I suppose it did.

Yes. This is the modern Republican: they cannot alter their beliefs to fit the facts, so their only option is to alter the facts to fit their beliefs.

You have it ass backwards. They do not suffer cognitive dissonance. If they did, they would be suffering.

Instead, we have cognitive dissonance trying to understand them. They have zero confusion. And that makes no sense to us, so we suffer dissonance. It’s all sane to them.

EDIT: You have to laugh at OP downvoting me. “NOAW! I’m not suffering!” Yes, you are. These assholes are perfectly happy in their own minds.

Especially since the current going idea is that tarrifs are allegedly a charge/tax another country is supposed to pay. They might just blame them for the escalating prices and say it’s retaliatory, and thus deserving of even higher tariffs or some such.
