They really believe this too. I discovered this talking on another platform. They called me stupid and a sheep etc. And I couldn’t/didn’t fight back because all I could think was how sad it was. They genuinely have no idea. No articles or experts can convince them.
I figured this was the spin. And the ultra maga will never get it. It’s almost sad. He used them to get into office by lying to them. Which he continues to do. But they hated pronouns and immigrants, so here we are.
A sad day for Americans.
I wonder how long it will take to experience the effects of this for them. Our company is immediately enacting price increases on imported goods. We have to stay in business.
Are you hearing or seeing any regrets yet?
I have one vendor who lives in the US but his company is Canadian. He has been a devote MAGA. He is now calling him a sociopath. But I would bet he would vote for him again.
It's funny, or sad, cuz every time my wife sees one of these polls that show almost half the Country approving of Trump's job she asks how that could be and I always say it's because of Faux News. Half of this Country doesn't know what is actually going on.
Jess, I can't anymore. I wish you well in your fight/work. After today, I will never be able to recover from the damage Trump is doing now. I'm too old to recover and never got to be old enough to take my full retirement either. Survival is all I gave now.
I’m 57 and feeling the same. Our 401ks are shit. I’ve paid in SS for over 40 yrs and it’s possible I’ll never see that money again (which is mine and I’m entitled to what is mine). It’s so frustrating that a criminal like Trump can do this. Greed, racism, and misogyny are terrible attributes.
It's devastating. I'm on my own. I just had hip replacement surgery and will hopefully still have my job to go back to when I recover. And jobs are not guaranteed either if this affects my field of work. You aren't alone.
I work in research. My company is European though so I think I might have my job for longer than most Americans. But I can’t believe I’m even thinking this way. And damn if I’m not going to ever protest I can.
I live in a tiny, rural town in AR where every truck and home has Fox News or a screaming podcaster on. The majority have no idea how bad this is going to be for them. A huge percentage of residents are on WIC, Medicaid, EBT, Social Security, etc.
1) I can. He is disgusting on every level.
His character came up during a walk with my partner. We tried to think of a positive attribute. Couldn't. I then compared him to Hitler. (We absolutely shouldn't, but let's ignore the fact that he got his ghouls to exterminate 6 million people.)
2) Adolf loved dogs, painted (passable) watercolours, and was a vegetarian. Obviously this doesn't excuse a pathological loathing of a significant group of humans resulting in death camps, but the fact remains; You can point to at least 3 positive attributes.
Trump is now feeding people into concentration camps of his own creation, as well as in a foreign country. People have started dying from them. And ofc he studied Hitler’s writings, is of German ancestry, and asked Bibi to finish a genocide. It’s now completely on the table to compare him to Hitler.
Yup. No one knew how bad the holocaust was until it was over. I fear so much that history is repeating itself & I'm so scared for the people he flew out of this country without due process. He must be stopped, we have seen this story before. We still have history books...for now
Agreed. There simply isn't anything positive. He is such a horrible pos. The parallels between him and Hitler are alarming!! The fact that so many Americans are simply sleepwalking into fascism is maddening and mind-boggling 🤬
The effect of the tariffs is a 6 trillion dollar tax that will have the same effect on American citizens as cutting Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare.
This will be a fairly rapid FAFO. Let's encourage all our MAGA family members & friends (if you haven't cut them out yet) to look at their stocks. And then take them shopping in the coming weeks.
It’s 2025 and the themes for the next four years are (1) Wear What You Have (2) Staycations Are Vacations.(3) Home Cooking For The Win! Republicans want this economy,let them support it.
I'm so sad for them all. They were lied to. Yes, there's definitely some individual responsibility here, to have sought out other perspectives, but most were raised to trust 'the news'. Maybe they will begin looking for another place to belong....and I hope we can meet that moment.
I believe they eat this up - only because they have for forever now. I couldn’t believe this would even be taken seriously a decade ago. But the cultists have zero ability to decipher reality from pure fiction.
The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, signed into law in June 1930, significantly increased tariffs on imported goods, aiming to protect American farmers and industries but ultimately worsened the Great Depression by sparking international trade wars and a global economic downturn.
The Lying King says tariffs are good for the economy!
But what he is doing is illegal that’s the homily!
The stock market is plummeting thanks to him!
The only one making money is Muskrat, The Lying King and their friends!
I’m from Nebraska and they are brainwashed here because this is played 24/7. If you go to the er it’s on. Bars, restaurants, stores, dr’s offices and even my dentist’s office. You can’t get away from it.
Can you ask to change the channel to the nature channel or some benign channel? I do this and they change it. Usually the people who work there are happy to make the change. You don’t need to say you’re against Fox, just that you’d like something more relaxing.
I worked in a large factory in NW Minnesota and that was on in the cafeteria. They did surveys every once in a while and they'd ask, if you could change one thing here, what would that be?
All I ever said was the channel.
Hell, I went to find the remote control, it must have been in a safe!!!
The perfect thing about a made up crisis is you don’t really have to solve anything to “win”. Once youre ready, just declare the imaginary problem solved and declare victory.
There is a website called https://therighting.com where tou can view right wing headlines and a synopsis of each article. They live in a different world.
This is helpful, thanks! As much as I abhor the influence that faux news & similar outlets have it’s more important to see/hear what’s being said on the other side
