So absurd: Trump's aides are telling him working class voters love his tariffs. But recent polls actually show majorities of non-college voters say tariffs raise prices, and disapprove of his handling of them. I looked at the data. It's striking.

'... style of Trump 2.0, this may feel peculiar for a president known for his curious choice of words (the tariff retreat, we are told, was made because the markets were getting a bit “yippy”)
Some welcome him speaking like they do - his speech is completely understandable to them. They love it.

I hope there is no suggestion he is manipulatable or stupid.
I’m looking forward to his next book:
Tariffs: How to lose allies and influence everyone else.
For those not familiar: cahiers de doléance were ledgers of complaints that Louis ordered the Third Estate to collect. Any voter over the age of 25 could contribute. It was so
There is a group of people (typically white 'Christian' men) whose sole focus is on making sure 'others' suffer more than they.
That’s good. His minions need a way to learn his policies are shit and that he never intended to do anything for them.
Trump supporters are not necessarily working class. The guys in the boat parade didn't go to college, but they sure as hell aren't working class.
So this is not a great leap..

Those folks must have a super weird world view & selfhate
-George Orwell, 1984
Stopped in a Dollar store with a large grocery aisle. Shocked to see that *every* can of food came from China, even those with national brands on the front label.
Clerk estimated 85% of *all goods* came from China.
He doesn’t care if voters like what he’s doing.
The demise of many autocrats is that they surround themselves by people who appease them instead of consulting them.
You voted for this, assholes.
Eggs are up 60% from a year ago and nearly 6% from February; Ground beef is 10.4% higher than a year ago; The cost of eating out grew is 3.8% higher than a year ago. these figures are from before the tariffs kicked in. https://finance.yahoo.com/personal-finance/banking/article/march-inflation-breakdown-gas-prices-cool-but-food-costs-continue-creeping-up-181129070.html
I've been thinking about it ever since the 'news' of Trump allegedly winning some golf game a few weeks ago, and I'm growing more and more convinced it applies everywhere.

Stupid people fall for it.
Anti Americans are complicit.
Look at this chart:

It really is NO surprise that the majority of that race voted FOR a Rapist Felon, degreed or not. Apparently the stupidity stretches across in various forms.
Wonder ~ why?

Black voters and POC also exist in the working class, but they voted for Harris in record numbers.
Over half of white voters along with an 18% swing of Latino/Hispanic males who happen to be in the working class voted for Trump. So there's a difference that I think is important.
His regime is actively making and exposing that America is Not ‘Great’
