You will own nothing and be happy (MAGA version)

The tonal difference in NYT coverage of rising prices under Biden vs. Trump is stark.

Biden: "High prices are factually, unequivocally bad and 100% his fault."

Trump: "Perspectives differ. Let's see if he can sell it...!"

they will still be cheap goods, they'll just cost more

yeah who can forget all those signs on the side of the road "Trump Higher Prices, Kamala prices generally stay the same"

Or his oft-repeated promise that he would raise prices on day one?

Americans DEMAND to 'Buy American', that is until they see the price tag and then they drive down the road to Dollar General.

They want cheap stuff made in America for a living wage and they don't believe anyone who tells them that these things are in conflict.

Reality is blinded by their Patriotic fervor.

After the MAGAts buy up all the CyberTrucks, they are all going to hop over to Nordstrom’s to get their overalls and dirty t-shirts.

Leave it to MAGA to create a 15 min city bc people can't afford cars and can't afford to own stuff.

"egg prices are too high" right into "it'll be worth it in the end" because what else does maga do but compress and compartmentalize.

The oldest Gen X and Boomers are the only people who know what it is like to live in the US dependent upon US-made goods.

Most things are expensive so you don't have that much. There's no trips to Orlando or cruises. Vacation is to grandma's.

"Trump and his advisers are betting that they can sell an inflation-weary public on a provocative idea: Cheap stuff is not the American dream."

Oh.

I used to think 'the cruelty is the point' referred to their enemies, but turns out they're masochists in an abusive relationship.

We're all addicted to cheap goods, Americans are going to freak the F' out!

The administration will create a payment plan so you can afford food, groceries, clothing, shelter, etc.
You will subscribe to everything and be happy

We already have all that, I repeat, we already have all that.

I have to say, I pop in and pop out between platforms and there is more "doom and gloom" on here (Bluesky) than I've seen anything "positive." Fun place though, its "A digital haunted hayride."
