If the media hadn't spent every second leading up to the election normalizing an idiot conman and his nonsensical rhetoric, they wouldn't have to be spending as much time now explaining tariffs to America like it's a giant kindergarten class.

I said it before on BlueSky, 54% of Americans read below a 6th grade level! What’s more, is that most very seldom read anything other than their phones. Today, if you are not doing independent research chasing down the truth, you are going to be uninformed about what is really going on around you.
But to do that, you also have to have the intelligence and educational background to judge which sources are trustworthy. Lacking those, you end up being this guy:
You have to be paying attention to the world around you, researching information by cross-referencing and verifying your sources by where they come from, and looking into their eyes to see if “truth” is being emitted. Yes, you do have to have matured to a point where gullibility is not occurring.
The media does not care about conmen, democratic values and norms. They care about profit. As long as media is funded and run by big business, they will do what makes money and talking constantly about the most controversial person ever makes MONEY. Fund your favorite independent media people!!!
and if people who knew better hadn’t supported that media by watching, reading, clicking, and sharing, they might have died a natural death. Let’s fix that. ZERO irresponsible media and no forgiveness. Force them to start anew if they decide to change.
Zero defense of the Mainstream/Legacy media but the GOP voters I know haven't gotten their news from those sources in years. It didn't matter what legitimate news sources said. The Trump voters I know got their news from Fox and other rightwing propaganda/social media.
👍🏼 Tariffs work great against bad governance. Not against countries like
Canada, Mexico and China. What I don’t understand is why the orange turd would put tariffs on a country where he has all his garbage produced. It won’t improve the economy.

These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West...
to get him reelected
because the crazy headlines from his first term
were more profitable
than Biden's efficiency.
So disengage and go outside
For solace
