Right-wing "thinking" is driven by emotional attachment to cultural indoctrination, and ideology. Not reason. The arguments they give aren't even why they think what they think. They start with what they want to believe, and work their way backwards.
"When a president is popular, nothing sticks and nothing matters. When a president is unpopular, everything is a catastrophe they have to answer for." -- Jonathan V. Last
You’re giving way too much credit to maga to be able to use those thoughts and words to describe why prices are going up. They can’t form an intelligent sentence just like their leader
Until we learn how to spin narratives as fast and as well as this machinery they've established, they are going to continue to be able to easily gaslight low information people.
The biggest problem I have with this cartoon is the assumption that the Red Hats have the ability to read and comprehend anything….they’ve certainly proven over and over that they don’t! #MAGATrash
My biggest problem is that the cost of eggs at my local grocery when Biden was in office (last I checked in December) was $2.19 per dozen. Nowhere near $3.75.
Meh. I plan on going to the grocery store, stop before the eggs, and loudly exclaiming 'What the hell? I thought Trump was supposed to fix this?' and maybe even mutter, 'stupid Musk, why does he listen to him?' Then repeat, many, many days....
Just had this experience, a woman turned to me and said omg did you see the price of eggs? And I said, well this is what people voted for, what did you expect to happen? #wetoldyou
Acting like this man's helping by pulling the US out of the WHO and halting external communications between the CDC,FDA and NIH.Even if they did acknowledge any of that it would just be more excuses so I'm just tryna not argue with people at this point it's a waste of time.
Wayyy too much credit. The right frame could just have the guy saying "It would be way worse if not for Trump", or "See? Trump fixed it-- everything is great again!" Either those, or remembering that eggs was always a cover for racism/hate.
Donny has hinted SEVERAL times that, if it weren't for the fact that she was his daughter, he'd "date" Ivanka.
Barron looks more like Donny than Melania. I'm positive that Donny is the father, but I doubt that she had sex with that creep. You don't suppose that he and Ivanka...
I think he looks more like Melania. Very Slavic cheekbones. There are some altered photos, making him look more like Trump. But look at the inauguration ones
They just want a 'strong daddy' figure who will endorse their bigottry and religious extremism. To their simple minds God is controlling all of this so nothing will go wrong. When it does they will look to blame somebody else.
"Any economic turmoil under Biden is from Trump's policies 4 years ago"
Or
"It's Trumps fault that he didn't lower food prices within a week of taking office"
Pick one.
The USA might be healthier if it ate less of them.
" However, eating too many eggs can indirectly cause constipation. Constipation is one of the most common digestive problems in the United States and other parts of the world"
Eat more fibre instead.
Trump is was and always will be an incompetent fool. Incapable of the basics of governing. But, don't worry. I'm sure he is working on a concept of a plan as we speak. We all know how quickly he puts together his concepts. Hahaha , never completed one plan. Lol
they are simply impossible to make them understand because as soon as it affect them ever so slightly negatively, they will just deny it all or spout as much nonsense until they are left on their own
To all the voters who elect & re-elect Republicans,
“Dolor et cruciatus tui intolerabiles et sine fine sint.”
“May your pain and suffering be unbearable and never-ending”
The capitalist class has a monopoly on almost everything we buy. They can charge whatever the fuck they want until we get some actual government intervention which will never happen since the vast majority of our politicians are owned by the capitalists.
They are aware that COVID was decoded due to an obscure paper twice removed from a NIH bibliography confirming some predominantly eastern European research defeated the payload.
The Nih discovery, made in Kherson Ukraine, is what caused the russians to destroy the dam. Proves complicity imho #NAFO
That is old research now. At the time I was new to NIH and didn't realise that old versions of a paper override new ones, plus the device I did that research on is long dead.
Someone might have read papers coming out of the avian monitoring stations in the marshes of Kherson, noted by Cuomo et al.
That tells me that the russians and chinese are complicit in the development and security of a bioweapon.
We forgot that if the ruskinazis are accusing someone of something, it is usually the ruskinazis that are the actual perpetrators of said event or activity.
..the axis that the US had discovered the solution with his bleach suggestion.
Only the russians and chinese would understand that reference as, with the film "outbreak', they were probably aware of an antidote to the payload before they caused the virus to be released.
With the spate of films promoting the wiping out of parts of the global population due to concerns over resources, one might also question whether the billionaire class also signed up to it?
According to the Bible, we should all... *Checks Bible* be braiding whips and getting ready to knock tables over and kick all of these unpious assholes out of the temple?
I literally saw this play out in real time yesterday on a local social media group. MAGAs saying it’s only been a week it will take 8 months for trump policies to kick in. The truth is Biden spent 4 years trying to clean up terrible trump policy and the next Dem will have to do the same.
The amount of support he would need to change the 22nd amendment is not possible. 2/3 vote in house AND congress. 3/4 of state legislators need to ratify it. It’s also a time consuming process that would take longer than his 4 years.
I keep saying this to people that are saying he wants to change the 22nd amendment. It is a long drawn out process and requires all these people to be on board. It will not happen in 4 years and if the 🍊💩runs again he has to start the process in 2 years unless he tries to pull a military coup.
Doesn't mean Eric or Don jr. can't run. You might just see Trump and Trump on the signs in 4 years, with Donald as the "technical" VP. Day 1 there will be an EO to make Trump prez again. May not be legal, but is that stopping him now?
Do we have a policy in place if the president just… refuses to leave? If he’s replaced all the people around him with people blindly loyal to him? If the heads of the military are people who refuse to stand against him? What happens then?
It was absurd that people ever treated this like a good faith argument. Maybe by the time I'm 70, we'll learn that "economic anxiety" isn't a thing with these folks. Maybe.
Sure, but if the folks who were using the cost of groceries to justify their vote for Trump were being even remotely consistent, they wouldn't have handed over the federal government to the same class of folks who did the price gouging.
Who's they? We can't paint with a wide brush and use egg prices as a gotcha moment. It's juvenile. A lot of their arguments were that companies raised prices and our government ignored it until they no longer couldn't. I'm not a trump guy but I'll tell ya I ain't voting for the administration 1/2
Government has limited means to control prices. Harris tried to come up with something about price gouging, but it never would have gone anywhere. Companies aren't gouging in the legal sense, they are just using the free market. The only solution to high prices is to stop spending.
Who ignored it in the first place if I'm looking at what's needed to survive. Yes they were stupid to vote for Trump, but the democrats didn't give the undecided voters a choice. They gave them trump or the VP from the administration that oversaw the inflation (no I didn't vote for trump) 2/2
They = the voters who picked Trump. In their reflexive desire for "change," they took us from a bad situation to a far worse one.
And yes, I hear you on the need to be precise with language but it's 8:30 am, I'm barely through my first cup of coffee and also I'm shitposting, not writing a thesis.
That'll be about March right after the Mass deportations. There are three steps to fascism. Grand gesture think Spanish civil war destroying the anarchist.
Second SS vs SA. Night of the Long knives.
Third.... well that's where we all have to worry
It was never about the eggs 😞
They're just a bunch of racists who are willing to throw so many others' rights away to gain the slightest feeling of superiority.
Read an interview with someone who voted for trump because he couldn’t afford gas and then went on to talk about his 20+ trump hats and 30+t- shirt and more ..
Read a tweet where a woman complained there's nothing to do in Washington after she flew herself and her mother from whatever hell hole she crawled out of to DC for the inauguration. Yet the post right before that was about egg prices.
It’s because of the fire. This whole comment thread is filled with people who have justified animus towards Trump and Republicans, but not a lot of people who read local news.
We can’t give up. Independent journalists are crucial, keeping attention on forgotten crises like Hurricane Helene and the Lahaina wildfires. It’s heartbreaking how quickly people move on while survivors still need urgent help. Stay aware, stay active. #KeepTheFocus #MutualAid #ClimateJustice
The picture on the right is not realistic. He is speaking in a full sentence and reading from a book. Completely implausible with that red hat on his head.
The issue is that so many Trump voters said they voted for Trump because of grocery prices. Trump promised to lower food and gas prices on the first day. Get it?
I mean are really people too stupid to realize eggs specifically has NOTHING TO DO WITH INFLATION? everything else has to do with lack of transport, and inflation. Eggs specifically skyrocketed recently becuase of bird flu. Anyone who think bird flu is the same is inflation...
Not going to go down that fast... plus biden economics is at 17% high still.. not going to go down that fast.. the 3% they bragged about was just a blip..
There are so many aspects involved in what makes religion so harmful, toxic & dangerous to society. This is one that few are aware of. Religion is so many bad things; from a legal scam, to psychological warfare & a political tool.
Good satire but not realistic. The first cartoon sounds like a MAGAt. The second is reading an economics book and sounds waaaaay too intelligent. Just sayin. They cannot comprehend basic concepts
They don't care that they're hypocrites. They don't care they break the law. You need to fucking understand that because they're going to start shooting and judges will say it's constitutional
It’s slipping fast, though. I’m seeing restaurants & entertainment sites crying that business has been incredibly slow this month & almost zero this week. Yeah, that’s what happens when you make Dems depressed & scared. We’re the ones with purchasing power.
What’s interesting to me is that sitting around going “What do we do? How do we organize?” might be the strongest form of resistance we have. We’re not reassuring each other, so everybody’s just hunkering down, cutting spending, leaving toxic relationships (including media,) etc.
I got a Lyft from a MAGA guy and the first thing he said was Black people are automatically worse pilots because of DEI. I assume your guy feels the same.
gee its almost like they only turn on their brain when logical thinking is convenient for defending their president and/or capitalism, BUT never doing that same shit when its the democrats running.

y'all are two sides of the same coin
Perhaps your mother is your sister. Afterall he said if Ivanka weren't his daughter he'd be dating her.
Read a book. He's Run Spot Run. Maybe you'll grow a brain.

"Emptying their prisons, we're getting all their criminals, violent animals!!" ~ Trump on immigrants in communities
Emptying their prisons, all their criminals, violent animals, ~ Trump releasing J6ers into the communities
They never noticed the price of gas and eggs doubled overnight.
Must have something to do with those rose colored maga glasses.
The basis.
I was worried it might be a bit too far fetched.
It was the brown eggs. They wanted only white eggs.
“Dolor et cruciatus tui intolerabiles et sine fine sint.”

The 'payload' was designed to be the clotting. I have no doubt that in 30yrs they'll be saying that dancing Israelis invented it.
We forgot that if the ruskinazis are accusing someone of something, it is usually the ruskinazis that are the actual perpetrators of said event or activity.
What's worse is that trump warned..
Only the russians and chinese would understand that reference as, with the film "outbreak', they were probably aware of an antidote to the payload before they caused the virus to be released.
This is opinion of course.

That’s not been my experience…
We all know trumpers can’t use words larger than 2 syllables and can’t read past a third grade level
My wife converted her mom from Fox not News, but it took years.
