Will be a shame when blue state residents begin to submit W-2 forms to stop automatic federal taxes withholding from their pay and force red states to wait on annual lump payments to cover blue state taxes due.
Up until now, I think Trump has been pissing off niche groups and organizations. But now he's f****** with the economy. I predict major backlash because the economy affects everyone and every level of society.
Michigan is a purple state. Stellantis (Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler) is already on thin ice. Not good for the D3, or Tier 2 and 3 suppliers or the surrounding communities.
People in red states: call your reps every day, demanding they stand up to dangerous dictator Trump and protect democracy and your state’s economy. Tell them you are concerned about your job and your home, and so is your entire family. Keep calling, protesting.
Where's the 0% of a recession? Price decreases?
Tax increases on the low and middle class, layoffs, price increases and product shortages cause recession! When the unemployment and business closures numbers reach 50% it's a depression.
With a bunch of red states trying to rebuild from recent natural disasters, this may prove to be a slow rebuilding process. Let’s see if Tennessee or California rebuilds first. Ready….set…..GO!
Valid. Blue states have kept the Red States schools going for generations. Maybe blue should withhold and tell them they can get the money when they change their voting laws…#redstatesaretheenemywithin
The company I work for makes higher end Veneer doors and custom doors. Before February 1st, they decided to focus primarily on our vinyl door line. Wonder why? Oh, maybe it's because most of our Veneer and lumber for trim comes from Canada?
It's going to be interesting since the big 3 US auto makers have assembly plants in Canada & Mexico. BTW where do the parts for Honda & Toyota come from? Sorry, I don't know the answer but it would be bad of not made domestically.
Hey, there are a lot of us Blue Folk in Red States, too: We call ourselves “Cities”, and our claim to fame is “Actually Comprehending How Important It Is To Scale Infrastructure and Programs For Large Groups of People Instead of Open Space and Cows”
Oh, I know - I’ve lived in both blue and red states and areas (including now where I’m trapped surrounded by rich suburbanites- half of whom voted for the orange menace). I also have VERY strong feelings about the electoral college. This was more in response to the targeting of red states
But they don't care, as I said , they can shit every day and dress like hobos, but as long as the border is closed they are happy. Racism and discrimination worth more for them than food and living better.
Yes it is. There are many Canadian companies doing biz in MI industries as well as automotive.
I am retired Supplier Quality Engineer in automotive and it's going to be BRUTAL in many states & around the world. Fat ass has NO idea what he's just done but I'm sure when shit goes, Biden did it
I remember the dark days of 2010 all too well. Lost a white collar marketing supplier job. Ppl forget it’s not the MAGA guy at the Ram plant, it’s the neighborhood coney and the party store too.
He's going to frack Alaska to the ground and level the beautiful forests from sea to shining sea for lumber. He's going to mine the Appalachian mountains to crater. The Earth will heal, humans might not.
Just watch... Trump will be like, "Oh, yeah? Well... We're gonna remove Canada Maple Syrup from our shelves! So *nyah*!"
Trump is such an ignorant baby. I thought you had to be a certain age to be POTUS (in his case, Puppet of the United States).
Agreed part of the problem. This country also had folks that were apathetic. They didn’t want to vote for a black woman or a felon so they didn’t vote. Ignorance won on every level. Now the damage is being done.
Some more than others. They no doubt pulled stock in ahead of time, knowing this could happen, but the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse slowed their ability to do so.
And there is still a threat of a longshoreman strike.
Per "Caste" by Wilkinson, the NAZIs wanted to LEGALLY kill minorities & Jews (& take their money), so they instituted Jim Crow laws. They found laws for legal oppression & murder in the US South!
NAZIs=White Supremacists=US South Jim Crow!
The seeds of Hitler's genocide germinated in the USA.
someone wished Roger Stone happy BD,
I wished him to eat his cake and choke on it
😂😂😂😂.
was suspended for two weeks, was told I was promoting violence.
I never did go back
My wife would watch Phil everyday.
I always thought he was a joke.
But that is me.
My wife must have watched Oprah because for some reason I remember watching her with a wagon full of 70 pounds of fat.
Why do I know this?
The ONLY thing that will truly bury MAGAs for good is for things like this to happen. So let it happen! They need to feel the very serious impacts of their decision. Harmful consequences for all (unfortunately) is the only thing that will rid the US of this scum and finally get back some normalcy.
Boycott everything they sell or have stock in instead. Don't be a target by making it easy for them to shoot you in a march. Even disabled and the elderly can participate in this kind of peaceful protest.
Times like this make me glad I'm going for disability. With my body all busted up like it is, there's no way I'd be able to work a normal job, even without Trump screwing everything up.
Any Union member who voted for this BS: I curse you-- may your pension be bankrupted. #FAFO. And may the head of the teamsters fucking be indicted on RICO violations.
Cry me a fucking river. Those responsible for this shit show need to understand what they’ve done so that they can finally wake up and participate in fixing it.
And the Dems can compare notes on why they did nothing meaningful with their executive power when they had the chance other than fund bombs to drop on children, continue the same draconian border policies as the Republicans, keep gitmo open, allow for continued capture by billionaires, etc.
Ah yes, Trump had a senate majority of 1. See the difficulties? If you want democrats to help they need all 3 chambers not one during a republican presidency. During Trump first year they got the house in the midterm but not the senate. And during Biden they got the senate but lost the house.
I can't comprehend why anybody would have voted for the Republicans but I'm also aware that The information environment in the US is so corrupted that there's a lot of people who are just straight brainwashed.
I didn't say the Democrats did nothing at all. I said they did nothing to stop this which is true because they didn't stop this. Therefore nothing they did stopped this.
Obviously the Democrats are the lesser evil. There's no question there. They're just also evil.
This should be reposted all over. People forget Biden did ahellavalot. Maybe not enough but perhaps they didn’t realize there was going to be an all consuming COUP D’ ‘eTAT!
Enjoy the Nazi boot on your throat, you're the sort of proto idiot that would vote a fucked criminal rapist to sound smart spewing dumb shit. Hope you have an extra serving of suffering you utter muppet
The threat of Senate filibusters and Rs gaining control of the House in 2022 is why Ds didn’t get more done. It’s your right not to vote, but voting for Trump is like a galactic rebel voting for Darth Vader because the Rebel Alliance couldn’t save your family… from Darth Vader. It makes no sense.
Please don't compare Trump to Vader.🤣 He's not Vader he's not Palpatine he's a puppet. Now Putin might be a Palpatine for as long as he's been around..
True, our elected lawmakers often let us down, but in my mind, there is a specific moral standard that determines if one is a Democrat or Republican at heart. If you believe in helping others, you are a Democrat. If you believe in helping yourself, you are Republican.
I see Trump as the death throes of white supremacy. I was once waiting in a drive thru with a Trumper and the topic of undocumented immigrants came up. This guy was red in the face and screaming. And we lived in INDIANA. There was no logical reason for his freak-out beyond hating brown people.
You seem to be getting some flack for your comment but I think wanting more out of the supposed moral high ground party is reasonable. I think it's just that your comment might have been interpreted as "both sides bad," which is not a valid argument.
Fair critique. People are more sensitive to arguments that might seem "both sides bad" rn for good reason.
The GPP is an unmatched horror, but I punch right of myself so I often hit centrist liberalism, which fails to do enough for the common people. We should all demand better.
I fear they never will. They are up to their eyeballs in the shit show and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Last time, I remember thinking, “Okay, surely NOW they are regretting their vote!” Nope. They were blissfully ignorant because they are in their little echo-chambers.
I for one would rather pay the tariff and start growing potatoes and carrots in a 20 gallon container for sustainable food. and anything else I can grow in my apartment.
that was my plan. but I think the lack of local grocery stores (the only one near me is Walmart) contributes. I get the feeling that Walmart will be like, oh, people aren't going to buy the expensive imports, so we just won't stock them.
It’ll get worse. Super Bowl weekend may not be super for you this year if Ontario Hydro cuts your power for that weekend. 🤷🏻♀️ just sayin. And btw King Dumbfuck is sacrificing you the workers, in Musk’s economic experiment that he doesn’t understand, y’all will be unemployed and broke in a few weeks.
They deserve it, especially those union workers who voted for someone who is a pathological liar & they were told he never means anything he says. It's like these f***ers forgot he said over 40 times that Covid would just magically disappear & that he was going to build that wall with Mexico paying.
I’m sorry. I really am. So many of us tired to prevent this. We tried to be proactive, now we have to be reactive. Please don’t hold this against all us.
I think there will also be those that will blame democrats for the higher prices as well as others that will spin it as being a good thing and they knew it would happen all along.
They'll do, say, and believe anything to make their cult leader look perfect in their eyes.
If tariffs are such an effective tool, why not let the red states take care of their own. The federal government is pushing heavily for states rights. It's a perfect opportunity to see how effective each governor can be under these policies.
I don't want people to hurt, but it's the only way they're going to learn anything. They can't blame this on anybody but themselves this time. Not that they won't try, and I look forward to seeing how they'll spin it, but the reality is, this is on them. 100%.
I'd love to throw this in the mix. Remember how they lost their collective shit over the XL being stopped? And how they were desperate to KEEP the entire pipeline operational? And how they LOVED Canadian oilsands?
That's FUCKING AWESOME! Just like the goons who support Trump love it when his policies "own" Liberals, I love it when they get fucked hard in the ass with no lube. I hope they lose their homes and businesses and wind up on the streets among the homeless folks they despise so much. Fuck them all.
I used to work for Linamar out of their McLaren office in Livonia, MI. I've met Linda (and her dad) more than once. Seem like abnormally decent people. I loved that job and I really hope Linamar survives this.

Maga?
So why is he doing it? My guess Putin, who owns him, is forcing him to weaken us, weaken the world order.

Also, how'd they vote, I wonder? (I don't actually)
Signed, Blue States who didn't FA and are still being forced to FO.

Still a convicted 34 felonies Felon!
Not King Trump.
And certainly not “President Trump”.
How does it feel to own the libs now?
Do you feel all warm and American inside?

Tariffs will shut down North American auto production within a week, the industry warns.
Canada’s auto sector exported $51 billion worth of vehicles in 2023 and 93% of them went to the U.S. Within days, the entire industry could shut down.

That is why I cannot comprehend why any Arab people would vote Republican!
They hate non Christians.
Do not vote for them.
Obviously the Democrats are the lesser evil. There's no question there. They're just also evil.
Your morals are compromised if you're wishing suffering on somebody else.
And no I would never vote for Trump, are you insane?
They're like some competing galactic trade organization that treats their workers well but still occasionally nukes a planet or two. Not liberatory
Good vs bad is relative. Is Trump better, or worse, than Harris would have been?
Would she have suggested ethnically cleansing Gaza?
The US has been unwell now for decades, Trump is like the consequential hard attack or stroke; Violent and catastrophic and possibly fatal.
Despite my distaste for the American political establishment, I am rooting for all American people.
The GPP is an unmatched horror, but I punch right of myself so I often hit centrist liberalism, which fails to do enough for the common people. We should all demand better.
Don't buy them in the US. The few that get imported will have that 25% tariff.
Why did you create trump, with intestines where the brains normally are?
I don't blame you guys even he said he rigged the election.. yall didn't even vote him in 😞
They'll do, say, and believe anything to make their cult leader look perfect in their eyes.

Shut 'em down.
Scratch that. I'm sure it's deliberate.
I said goodbye to it 4 years ago.
