    Technically tariffs have done their job. They forced the government to negotiate before midterms.

    I expect we’ll get fucked.

    Interesting - didn’t expect the Beaverton to start turning against Trump. Looks like the cracks are showing in the foundation of the MAGA base.

      I mean this in the nicest way possible. Anyone still staunchly supporting Trump has something legitimately wrong with their ability to process information.

        They’re literally not getting the same information. Algorithms on socials ensure you end up in a bubble. Dissenting opinions disappear. Confirmation bias takes root. Everyone lives in a different reality with objectively different perspectives and information delivered to them. Sincerely, think you’d hold onto an ounce of sanity enduring the social media feed of someone on the opposite end of the political spectrum? People are well and truly divided at a granular individualistic level, except where overarching ideology aligns well enough, then the right falls together while the left commits to infighting over the minor disagreements. Y’all catch the last election??

          Poor Trump supporters are victims that need to be rescued and brought to the class war.

          They are no different than immigrants: a manufactured enemy to distract people from the true enemy to humanity, the insanely rich.

          It’s hard to break out of that mentality that they’re all inherently morons and not victim to literally billions — maybe even trillions — of dollars of social manipulation.

      Based on exactly WHAT?!? I’ve never seen them condone one iota of that guy’s behaviour.
