The former are freaking the fuck out and saying this is way worse than COVID and the latter are ‘it will all work itself out’
That would be a major step forward if even a handful start paying attention, and seems a root-cause of this whole mess.
I told them steel mills are better off from tariffs than most unless there's a recession.
Then there is the ignorant fucktard horde, half of whom will blame Dems, and half of whom are so disengaged that they'll just flail meaninglessly.

Wanna guess if MAGA will still believe it this time?

Let’s also hope the Democrats don’t follow the Carville-Clinton playbook if that happens. For all the BS about how the US needs a strong Republican Party, we need a stronger Democratic Party.
