Why did a large number of Americans ( MAGA) got dumber over generations notnsmarter with the innovation of technology. X even provides a fact checking Grok . To verify if Trump is telling the truth. Yet technology was used against them. This needs to be studied.
Media has a much larger breathe of info to tap into. That’s good for good faith actors looking to find the truth but also good for bad faith actors. For example, RFK Jr. keeps citing discredited studies on vaccines. Billy Carson kept citing forged religious docs, etc.
Back when up was up, down was down, in was in, and out was out. So Reagan didn't screw us over with tariffs, he screwed the country over with "Trickle Down!" Taa Daa
I'm liking this video not because it offers words from Reagan on tariffs, but because the Chinese embassy is throwing those words back in the face of every Republican.
Tbh, my favorite part of the tariffs are the unintended green consequences. As gas prices soar, people will be forced to drive less. As prices on consumer good soar, people will reduce and reuse out of necessity. As demand plummets, corporations will produce and ship less.
Man, they weren't fucking kidding when they said politics makes for strange bedfellows. I think a lot of people should remember that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Until we win, then we don't have to like them anymore. That last part was me, not some smart saying. If you couldn't tell.
The only certainty I have is MAGA worships donald, and I thought the Chinese might be appealing to older republicans who still remember Raegan fondly, and who have morphed into present day magats. Perhaps make them question their loyalty. Chinese CCP is pretty calculating.
I was there, so long ago. Reagan didn't come up with the idea but he perfected the trickle down bullshit and reducing taxes on the 1% and corporations. As corporate profits grew, the middle class shrank and their wages stayed nearly stagnant. Killed the unions, caused poverty to expand.
Reagan is the broken clock of presidents. Occasionally correct, still did huge damage to media, healthcare and corporate taxation, unions and allowed Christofascists to get inside the government.
Who cares what he said. First off, this GOP is nothing like Reagan conservatives, and secondly, he was huge in getting us into this shit with the trickle down economics bullshit. Blew up income inequality to an historic level it is today.
I believe tariffs can be useful, but not like the Trump idiots are doing it.* So once again I find myself detesting Ronald Reagan.
*Example: Pretend Chinese labor gets paid $1 for every widget they make, while Americans get paid $10. Tariff: $9/widget, to arrest the capitalist race to the bottom.
He had Alzheimer's, which wasn't disclosed till the end. Donnie is starting to speak as if he's got some form of dementia unfolding, and that will be kept from us also.
Rump's well into his dementia. It can't be hidden anymore. At least, not from those of us who live with it every day. Nancy was smart to get Ronnie to step down when she did. The extent of his dementia wasn't known yet and I understand it got worse before he died.
Say whatever you want about Reagan, but personally🇺🇦, I’ll always be grateful to him🙏 for helping bring down the Soviets... Watching the current administration seemingly work in favor of ex-commies and KGB types is honestly painful to witness.🤦😢
That's the only thing he did that has any slightly positive outcome. But by and large, he was terrible and so was his fucking wife. They denied AIDS was a problem, leading to thousands of deaths and increasing stigmas against gay men, among other atrocities they supported...I.e. "Trickle Down."
He wasn’t alone🤷♂️-my education on the USA came from movies and South Park. Saying "this is gay", like despise, was totally fine till the mid-2000s. You can't apply ideas to a society that’s not ready. But let’s be honest-no gay ever took down the Soviet monster.🤷♂️ He did.
Oh. I see. You only know about Reagan from the outside.
Well, he is despised by a lot of Americans, but the Boomers and conservatives love him. He is the source of the US's pain right now because of what he allowed to happen in our government.
Gtfoh with this. He was the orchestration of decline. The destruction of government for and by the people. The beginning of corporate rule and doublespeak. He left everyone empty of basic needs. There is not one word, nor sentence, nor statement he uttered that deserves a resurrection.
His overall economic plan was a nightmare, the effects of which were still suffering. However, he’s rock solid center of the bullseye with his take on tariffs.
Did he really believe a word of this? I have trouble believing that the GOP centrists tell me existed 40 years ago folded this completely on everything they allegedly stood for.
Was Reagan just paid off? Saying it because it sounded FREEDOM-y? Doing the opposite of whatever the reds were up to was?
Wouldn't suprise me, tbh.

China 🇨🇳 likes to make money, like most of us do. Ensuring fair trade makes sense for America 🇺🇸. Thats not what Republicans are bringing or doing. Chump is an imbecile, The GOP knows this fact, yet still says nothing, does nothing🇷🇺💩. Inaction is support GOP we won’t forget you MF’s #Promise🤬
This reminds me of a lot of Mormons in the last decade. See they believe the prophet literally talks to god, so do you think when the prophet told them to get the vaccine that they did? No, cause Trump questioned its validity. They believed Regan was inspired too, but he’s not their real messiah
In a trade war with China, China will win. They export more than they import, the US imports more than it exports. If China winds up with a surplus they can't sell, they'll raise wages and sell to their citizens. Our options are far more limited.
Two Convicted Felons meeting in the Oval Office Individual One is out on Bail and is the President of the United States the other is avoiding an International Arrest Warrant. How far does the moral compass need to bend before justice takes control of the wheels of these countries? MSM what say you?
75 countries have kissed the ring—and some even kissed my toes (respectfully). But CHINA? Not even a postcard. Not even a single thank you note for all the tremendous trade we’ve let them steal for decades! SAD!
So guess what? 125% tariffs—effective IMMEDIATELY!
That is when Republicans placed share-holder value over the employee's welfare. The Middle-class was turned into medien income earners only (not what they could afford) and it never recovered.
Republicans did that, and they have only gotten worse as they pushed the Conservofascist envelope.
Say, isn't that the guy who granted amnesty to undocumented migrants? The man who Republicans consistently point to as the greatest president of all time?

it's like Chuck Schumer thinking the GOP would stop Trump.
move. on.
MAGA is the tea party realized.
They’re weak, credulous fanatics who grovel at the feet of the biggest bully.

I am so tired of the anti-Chinese propaganda.
Don't tell ME who my enemies are with 'friends' like Israel.

Something's terribly wrong. Like really wrong.
The minimum wage has barely budged since he was in office and look at how many billionaires there are, now.
How about we just ban all TV actors from being elected president?
I think that’s the best plan, really.
That has turned. The American brand is damaged globally now.
Neither higher nor lower prices will compel people to buy American anymore.
So guess what? 125% tariffs—effective IMMEDIATELY!

Meta - $25,000,000
X - 10,000,000.
Disney - $15,000,000

It’s the grift.

The Conservofascism of the Republican Party started with Reagan.
Republicans did that, and they have only gotten worse as they pushed the Conservofascist envelope.
If listening.
Reagan protected US.
Trump destroys US market deliberately.
