I’ll speak on behalf of my MAGA parents, who are happy with what’s going on: “Because everything will be great, you watch. Just wait.” No need to articulate. It’ll just be great. That’s where we’re at.
It has four syllables. They need to revisit Sesame Street, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and School House Rock first. Then they can move onto harder stuff, like dictionaries, then a thesaurus.
ERCOT the electricity supplier are 'Good old boys', it's a cartel, all about getting rich. Things will get worse as Musk ramps up AI farms and manufacturing, draining more resources like electricity and water
I wonder if they’re looking at Canada as being to citizen/employee friendly &instead of improving American life they’re going to undo the union style benefits their leaders have negotiated for their citizens.
Shitty thing that Canada probably passed on certain competing investments becoz American was doing it. It’s like husband dumping wife who sacrificed career.
MAGA’s red hats, will hate whoever the Orange Rapist tells them to hate: Immigrants, ppl of color, Dems, RINO’s, DEI, LGBTQ, abortion, vaccines, Dr Fauci, etc. And they’ll love whoever the Felon tells them to love: Putin, Kim Jong Un, Elmo, the criminals who desecrated our Capitol, etc.
These are people who hate anybody who didn't grow up on their block or in their ratty little town. I'm serious, in Illinois, people hate the town 3 miles down the road.
Prestonwood Baptist Church, aka "Six Flags Over Jesus," is a megachurch of manufactured faith and seething hate. Week after week, they preach division to thousands, fueling the most radical and resentful minds. This is where intolerance thrives, disguised as righteousness.
That would require the ability to create a coherent sentence that doesn’t end with YeeHaw or nascar.
They’re happy with the trade war because they were told to be.
David they don’t care about that. They will believe all the alternative facts that they want to believe. They can’t articulate why, not in a truly rational way, but they don’t care.
It’s always some vague either “it will help us negotiate a better deal” “other countries do it” “just buy American” or the worst I got was “he’s already proved himself a good leader, just let him cook”
Gonna need to google that opinion. They keep getting bad information from the ‘media’ so give them some time. I think Rick Scott and Tubberville will provide them an answer.
I have seen many posts from podcasters polling & asking MAGAs just that, their thoughts about trade wars. The challenge seems to always be; "Can they articulate ... ?" The responses are just cultist mambo Jambo.
The FB comments I've seen on local media posts are essentially jackbooted dummies that are celebrating this as a clear win, disregarding any attempt at an actual answer, excited to pay more, and telling them they won't harbor opponents in their attics when that becomes necessary.
Long as someone else suffers more MAGA is sated. Higher costs? Revel in pix of ICE rounding up immigrants. Worse job market? LOL at libs decrying anti-DEI policies. Kids suffering at school? Point at the snowflakes complaining about the 10’commandments poster in class. Worse EVERYTHING? Trans people
These people are insane. My sister who is MAGA believes the DC plane crash was a suicide mission by a black hawk pilot to malign Trump. I'm saying ya these people are out of their mind. Ya can't argue with them. If this continues we as a nation are doomed
I asked almost the same thing on my FB wall. Well, similar. Some random stranger has been trying to tell me how simple it is. I broke down what tariffs plus deportation would do to the price of avocados. Really put some effort into the research. He was like, “We don’t need avocados.” So I said,
“What about bananas?” He was like, “No big deal if they go up 40¢ a pound.” Trouble is, it’s not just avocados and bananas. I don’t think people comprehend the magnitude of tariffs plus mass deportations.
In "Canadian-speak" it's time to clear the bench and break out the hockey sticks. One of my Candian friends coined a new acronym: FAFOE - FAFO, eh? It made me chuckle.
I love my in-person (and online) Canadian emotional support people. Always handy to have around.
The fully indoctrinated, braindead, zombielike
MAGA red hats, don’t give a 💩 if what the fuckin’ 🍊Rapist does, leads them to their own demise, as long as they can “Own the Libs!!!” It’s not about what the Felon can do for them. It’s about what he can do to destroy their opposition!!
There will be no elections anymore in the US. There’s 0 chance they’ll give away this much power now. So. Get ready for the war with other countries if he’ll continue to be putin. If you won’t stop him, no one will.
You won’t wake up maga because it’s what they want. There’s more people in the US than the ones that voted of which fraction is maga. Wake up people that didn’t vote and start taking actions demanding from democrats AND republicans to stop unlawful power grab.
I’ve lost some hope that in two years when we go back to the voting booths we can get some of these MAGA politicians out of office. Musk could rig that vote.
The Felon clearly stated to his followers that if MAGA won these 2024 Elections, they wouldn’t have to worry to win any elections anymore, because in the following ones, everything will be “FIXED”.
The only good thing is that his 78 and can’t go on for much longer. It’s debatable whether anybody else will have the “charisma” to hold onto power. I do feel that USA will be heading for a civil war in 2028 if the elections are held Putin style!
Herritage facist fundation took care of that all already. There is a reason why they have this entire playbook. If American people won’t start doing something now, next year will be too late already.
Against mass surveillance from the richest man and other of his ideas now when he has access to ALL THE DATA? He’ll bend over backwards not to let dems govern otherwise he’s going to jail. To me it’s pretty good reason to be very serious and very pessimistic.And you’ll think your loss was fair.
We need new generation of Democratic leaders or our freedoms in this country will soon come to an end. The Dem’s slogan is, “WHEN WE FIGHT WE WIN!!!”… and when Elmo blatantly steals the Elections in their faces & shows them the middle finger, they fold like a worthless shit rag!!!
Nah - they don’t have right, determination, intelligence, or integrity. They are lazy - they want someone else to blame or solve their problems. Kick the bully back hard enough, & they will crumble. Their arrogance & insecurity will do them in.
Would be a revolutionary war and tbh we're REALLY close to it. If he decides to stay in power after these 4 years assuming we make it 4 years. That will bring A LOT of bloodshed. Atm he's got his finger on the insurrection act. So we can't do to much.
This makes me wonder if people were to protest Faux News, well, Fox "news" what would happen? Because let's face it, they will never be real journalists or honorable news anchors coming out of that media, & it is spreading to other news outlets. The propaganda will continually come from them.
You’re missing the point.It’s to deliberately crash economy so rich will buy and consolidate companies for peanuts.You think after this and Elon’s move you’re going to have an election?? Elon’s would go to jail,he’ll be determined not to.You have a short window of time to revolt now or watch US die.
From a former acquaintance: “But if you libtard Dems didn’t start bitching and making a big deal outta everything he’s doing, then his EOs and unilateral decisions would in fact benefit us. You have to ruin everything for everybody. Let him do his job and you’ll see him straighten things out.” 🙄
Ontario removed all USA products sold in Ontario lcbo , bars and restaurants will not be able to abstain it either . Not one product of the USA can be bought in Ontario
I’m more worried about what Musk is doing. Congress has to approve other appointees but he gets to walk right is with no security clearance? Not MAGA btw but I’m just at a loss. Neo-Nazis are running the country and no one is doing anything about it.
Havent seen anyone talk about this yet, Trump does everything from Putins playbook, so is anyone else wondering what Trumps version of Putins Tituskhy will look like? my guess is crypto will most likely be the way he will/would fund it. i dont doubt its coming, possibly some jan 6 rioters in there.
No matter what Trump says i am pretty sure that when he has everything he needs under "control" the new US allies are ALL dictators around the world, hes just keeping up appearance that russia is the enemy to have an excuse to take Greenland and Panama for greedy reasons.
A gentleman on FB kindly explained to me what tariffs were and how we were in good hands with a “world class negotiator”. I’m so grateful he could explain it to me, and I feel better knowing that Trump is “world class”.
They like it because the majority of these voters want us to make everything here. They don’t care about the cost, they don’t understand economics and they are only interested in “ending globalization”.
A lot of them think companies will build manufacturing plants from scratch. In huge numbers. Nope. Not happening. And what happened to sixth grade social studies. The little page on Wholesale, Retail, to the consumer. And the side bar on Tarrifs?
Fentanyl killed 3000 persons in the USA so it is important that the president protects the Americans.
That was the amazing answer from Lindsay Graham . What a spineless human being and he doesn’t even understand that he will be one of the first one to be eliminated by Trump’s regime just like Cruz
They just like being the "strong ones". They will keep believing in him until they realize that he is faking his strength or his postures deeply and personally hurt them.
Why is media not covering the science behind voter suppression in the last election ? Is the left worried the right will say we are acting like they did in 2020? We aren’t…because there is actual evidence that is being ignored. Would love your take on this.
The goal is apparently domestically to create more jobs. I guess steelworks and automobile industry?
But are people willing to trade these jobs for more poverty in general?
People's climate consciousness is also a growing factor.
It aligns with their values. They know that Trump is an undereducated fool and hates anything non-American and they trust him to follow through with his hate.
The billionaire/corporate fanboy MAGAs will be delighted that tariffs allow Trump to transfer even more of the US tax burden to the middle class and away from corporations and the wealthy.
On Facebook where I have MAGA acquaintances (and some relatives) I keep asking that question about every stupid move he’s making. They have gone noticeably silent. However I’m sure Musk, DonOld, and Fox are telling them it’s for their own good. Someday, somehow, they will all reap the rich rewards!🙄
In this case trickle down from GOP leaders would help, but the only 2 real ones were banished from the Stockholm syndrome party. Maybe maga nation will surprise everyone and revolt.
As it shouldn't. His comments have been offensive, and Canadians are angry, and rightly so. Not to make fun of you canadians, but this was mildy amusing, and a close friend from Kichener passed away 3 years ago. She would have loved it. Those geese are MEAN.
No. Don’t waste time with MAGA. They are too far gone. Shun them out of the public square. Stop giving these delusional idiots a platform to spread more bs.
It is time-sensitive. It only took Hitler 53 days to dismantle Germany's democracy. I bet these guys can do it faster and they are already 2 weeks in. Musk is already in the system. When they are done, the information systems that the beauracracy rely on will be purged, the bridges burned behind us.
They are in the process of stealing the entire government and all the tax reveniue of the biggest nation on the planet. It is the heist of the millenium. Please contact me if you want to hear a way we can stop this. I can't do it because I don't have a media platform.
Since there won't be a federal government, though, the tariffs will go straight into the pockets of the CEO and the board of directors of the new America Inc. Umbrella Corporation for them to do with what they want. It is a way to squeaze money out of Americans without giving anything back.
I can explain it to you. It's simple. They are dismantling the entire federal government while we watch it happen on the internet. That includes the IRS. No IRS, no income tax. But they want their tax revenue so they are implementing tariffs on our biggest trading partners to get that money.
Hi David! I'm a maga moron who absolutely is happy I'm losing my ACA coverage & look forward to spending more money that I don't have because of the trade war!
It is very clear that what Trump and his cronies want is to pillage Canada and Greenland of their natural resources, and take control of CANADA'S Northwest Passage.
Every other excuse or reason given for tariffs, border issues, etc. is bull crap. This about illegal and immoral invasion preparation.
Some responses I've seen is that they nervous but are trusting in the master plan. I'm sure many Jonestown followers thought the same just before the Kool aid.
They love!! They say the tariffs will help that everything needs to stay in America. At what cost. And yet half his merch in his hotels, hats, cups, shirts, etc is made in china.
Exactly- There is NO REASON for this self-inflicted economic Armageddon! This business about illegal drugs is baloney- so what the hell is Trump doing? #ImpeachTrump for giving the checkbook TO ALL OUR MONEY to Musk, a private citizen!😡
It seems like MAGA Americans are generally over estimating America’s importance to the rest of the world. If anything these moves will make enemies out of America’s allies and accelerate its declining global influence. China will be the top global power within a decade.
Because their beloved leader said it would help them David!
That’s all they need to justify it! They’ll blame the Democrats for this as well, no doubt,
I know Candadians are a polite society and would be against causing harm to hospitals and others who rely on electricity, but if you could cut power for a few minutes (and alert hospitals as to time) cut power during the Super Bowl just to prove a point...Maybe in the 4th quarter?
Our PrimeMinister BETTER NOT CONCEDE ANYTHING on this one! Mexico just wiped some egg off trumps face ! This is a joke if ANYONE believes troops will stop fentanyl. Why doesn’t trump just make in America lol as it’s his citizens demanding it!! He could line his pockets with that dough no problemo!
Our mission is one and only one now. Let’s stop playing nice to the anti-America Republican Party. Our mission is now to EXTINCT the GOP forever because it is a cancer for our country.
I have a feeling they're just sitting there like, "He's making America Great! 😃 Just... Wait for it... Any minute now... Almost there.... Just a little longer... Almost........"
Trump's MAGA means, Make America GUTLESS Again. DumbSTER47 didn't recapture 1950's 'Great' 🇺🇲,🤣. Diaper Donnie47 took 🇺🇲 back to early 1800's, 🇨🇦 & Mexico were kicking Ass-merica! Mexico ruled AZ, TX, NM, CO, UT & South CA/NV and 🇨🇦 (1812) beat U.S. (burned Whitehouse). History repeated in 2025. Tr-Dump
Reading the whole thing, and actually comprehending what you are reading (contradictions and all) that is supposed to be without error, will do that to you.
Ezekiel 23:20 is my favorite. I advise folks it's NSFW if they choose to look it up at work.
Reading it and thinking about what I read is what made me an atheist. It's the most absurd work of fiction I've ever read. https://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com
Well it didn't make me more Christian. The old testament reads like a record of genocide as Moses and the Israelites slaughtered their way through the Middle East.
No they can’t articulate why they like it lol. They still don’t know how tariffs work 9 years later. We need to stop treating his voters like rational, good people. They are the Germans who voted in Hitler, they will be remembered for ushering in Trumps terror with a smile on their faces.
They've already bought into the "trade deficit" being a bad thing. I wonder if they understand that the implication is that Trump wants Canada to buy more of our shit. Or if Trump even understands that this is the implication when he says the "trade deficit" is unfair.
I really do. Care for the American people who didn't vote for trump but I don't care about the maga s they did this they voted for trump and they told about tarrifs they were told.
Some of the maga supporters said they only voted for the price of eggs to go down they didn't vote for this they were told they were warned about what trump will do Ive no sympathy for the maga s
Hi David there are some maga supporter s who are, upset and angry with the way trump has screwed them they have no money no medicare and they have been deported
Hi David I've got no sympathy for the maga s I do. Care about the American people who didn't vote for trump they are suffering because of the maga s these maga s voted for this
Most of these maga supporters didn't understand trump was, going to try and freeze funding and freeze medicare and some of maga s have been deported they voted for this
Hi David I think. Some of maga supporters have had enough of trump as trump has frozen federal funding in 50 states that's red and blue he has frozen medicare for 72 million Americans that's all. American s
Trump has put a hold on. Putting tarrifs on Canada for 30 days because Canada will. Stop. A programe they have which involves Elon. Musk and will stop electricity going in to America
Hi David I live in the UK I don't think these maga really understand how these tarrifs are going to seriously affect them I think with Canada he has put a hold on it for 30 days
I have two MAGA sisters. I've asked them this question. So far the answers I've received are "There's a lot of moving parts, things need time to settle down." And: "You have to remember media bias and they don't fact check. I trust what resonates with me." 🫤
Remember their 2020 T-Shirts that said "MAGA 2020: F*** Your Feelings? I do.
I say: You voted for this: Now it's time to get what you voted for, good and hard. Unfortunately the rest of us are collateral damage. I did my best to stop this. I remember my oath of enlistment. I'm trying my best.
Me too! Then I vet the information I received. I don't believe anyone, but once I know they speak the truth, I will follow and believe what they share.
Remember, Magapotameans feel good about themselves because they've been fed so much misinformation that they honestly think they are "in the know" of information that others don't know.
It makes them feel special and part of something big. They need to hold onto that feeling no matter what.
My mother voted for this. I did my best to approach her on her level, and her text to me last night was defending this. She is dependent on SS and Medicare, gets grants for chemo, and still disagrees with me. The "FAFO" is going to leave her destitute. She says I'm lying to her.
Then again, she's fully on the OAN, Rumble, "Troth Senchal" train and thinks Musk is the best thing ever. She proudly told me she is ULTRAMAGA, and she is unreachable.
I am an only child, did my duty, and will wind up unhoused when this is over. She's on her own. So am I.
so true- especially when all their arguments are exact quotes or bullet points from one of those fake news outlets , nothing ever original or worth arguing about- since 2016 I've yet have had a debate with a trumpster where i've said "hmmmm ...you might a point there"
Not MAGA I commented on a Twitter comment from someone else, not MAGA I mentioned I was Australian and shared my opinion about what was happening in the US, I am a fan of American movies, music etc. My comment was followed by dozens of MAGA, insults mostly, I read like 5 responses that's it.
I post things on FB, and I wait for the backlash. My thing is I am posting information, but I am not engaging with anyone! LOL If they don't like what I am posting. TRUTH they can unfollow. It's simple. I don't get my feelings hurt by sharing the truth. Maybe something will stick.
Take whatever propaganda MAGA had pushed during the election, no matter how ridiculous, and that's your answer. They're in the denial stage, still willing to believe whatever they hear from the tech bro-ligarchs. "This is left over from Biden, Trump is going to fix it" level delusional.
I think the plan is to implement the tariffs, make MAGA believe it was Biden, then tRump will come in to save the day. However, I do think this will eventually backfire since Canada and Mexico are not playing with us.
Not Maga, Canadian & we are disgusted by Trumps actions. Canadians won’t buy US goods or visit US. BC’s Eby (E Bee) is putting plans in place should Trump pulls this shit again. I cross border shop & vacation in the US a lot but will pause for now 😢 just cancelled visit for next month. Great job DP!

But it’s about the owning the wokeness and libs. Nothing to do about economics. They will just suffer and have no clue as to why. Fox News will not tell them about it.
The equivalent berks in the UK said, ‘Sovereignty init’. See how far sovereignty helps you pay for the weekly shopping and essentials when a maniac increases prices for no reason.
In Canada (yes, we have MAGAts here too) they are saying we deserve what we're getting because Trudeau. They're hatred of the left overrides everything, even self-preservation.
My friend who voted MAGA believes tariffs will lower his cost of living. His reasoning “Trump said he would lower prices therefore Tariffs must be the plan to lower groceries, gas and rent. I trust him”
Not MAGA, but I’m going to guess they’ll be told it’s patriotic to pay higher prices, it’s short term pain, and Canada and Mexico deserve “punishment” for not protecting our borders.
It helps them “own the libs”… as for why they like it, we’ll see if they still like it in a few weeks to couple months if and when these tariffs go into effect.
Comments
They like that it hurts people they don’t like. That’s what they actually care about.
I said what I said. Sorry not sorry.
We've done a fantastic job of exporting the insanity elsewhere. Even Alberta Province (Their version of TX) isn't this far gone.
They’re happy with the trade war because they were told to be.

MAGA red hats, don’t give a 💩 if what the fuckin’ 🍊Rapist does, leads them to their own demise, as long as they can “Own the Libs!!!” It’s not about what the Felon can do for them. It’s about what he can do to destroy their opposition!!
They don’t do anything.
It would nice to see you to a live cast from one of them
Unfortunately it's not warm and cozy like your mini-studio
The poor rubes?
Or
the wealthy maga fucks that will be fine and likely make money some how out of this disaster.
It'll take them quite a long time to realize that isn't how it works.
Some of them never will.
Either way.
#winning
It’s hard for me to be as delusional as a Trump supporter, but I think I’m doing this right.
They will probably say God has blessed them with the felon rapist wisdom.
Clearly these people need cult deprogramming
Trump had to give massive subsidies to American farmers during his first term because of the pointless trade wars he started, lest we forget.
That was the amazing answer from Lindsay Graham . What a spineless human being and he doesn’t even understand that he will be one of the first one to be eliminated by Trump’s regime just like Cruz
Obviously it wouldn’t work since we have very low unemployment rate, why would we waste our labor to build lower costs goods?
in their feelings "DAD HAS THE POWER"
they must feel the consequences
they need to be hurt . hard
till they open their
eyes,ears and mind
But are people willing to trade these jobs for more poverty in general?
People's climate consciousness is also a growing factor.
It’s been eye opening to see the US response/POV of Canadians to an unjustified attack on us. Not going to be easily repaired.
Trump’s trade war with Canada may become an economic boom for the rest of the world.
That always throws them…

When you break those relationships, you lose that power.
That’s all they need to justify it! They’ll blame the Democrats for this as well, no doubt,
(Blue dot in a very red state speaking) who will pay dearly if our ACA protections are taken away. I will die without them.

You're going to have to speak at a 4th grade level if you want them to understand your question, sir!
A MAGA just asked me "with tears in their eyes" *in Trump voice* to interpret what you just said. 🤣
