With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last
This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

But red states cannot see past the tips of their noses, so this is on brand. That's why they have the worst health care, worst education, etc. They have no idea what the long game is.
It's mass delusion, cult behaviour.
I ran out of f's for these people long ago. I will reserve my empathy for children and those who didn't vote for this debacle.
May y'all get the four years you voted for.
I left out he had bare feet hanging out the window. I would love to post pic but they would know exactly where this was taken. It's a scream.
Trump: "No no no..."
As a nation we just can’t handle scarcity. Threats. Uncertainty.
Trump is in terrible trouble.
Gotta wipe out the House & Senate.
Trump is implied. FOCUS on the House & Senate!!!
There is also benefit to re-education programs to break the cult-like culture under Trump, similar to the de-Nazification programs Germany put into place after WWII
We need ALL that
You nailed it.
It will cripple health survival and those employed. FAFO
Rob the sick to stroke her ego.
This country is turning me mean. I don't LIKE being mean, but these people are literally a cancer that is killing us. Anything that removes them is a positive.
Look at Trump convincing them that the share market nosedive and tariff inflation/recession is the result of Biden politics.
They are moronic, and believe whatever bullshit Trump and his cronies push.
Authoritarian God.
Authoritarian Cult.
Authoritarian Dictator.
Authoritarian Shitshow.
The End
Really.
Man has never shopped for a child in his life.
Most of these people want small government until they need help, then they’re mad because no one’s there to help them.
That being said….trumpers will probably say “just wait, trump has a plan, he’ll save us, it just takes time”.
I think they’re under the impression that they’re free thinkers cause they think we’re sheep. I laugh every time I see a “Lions vs Sheep” sticker on a truck with a MAGA flag.
First of all, rural areas have stores pretty well stocked most of the time, and inventory of non-consumable items tends to last longer than in urban areas. Only panic buying clears the shelves, really. There's more to consider, too...
I have very little compassion for the MAGA crowd… it’s all their fault for being so dumb & gullible!
Don't be a dick. Not everyone living in those red counties is a Republican.
so that matches what you are saying
but pharma is next
got my @costplusdrugs.com orders in early just in case
but I see they are still using USPS so not sure it will get here
(Which means blowing yourself up with a grenade)
From the web: The word "petard" is quite infrequent in modern English usage, primarily appearing in the idiom "hoist by one's own petard".
I like the idiom specifically because it uses two very unusual words, resulting in a lot of people who understand generally what the idiom means but not why it means that.

We need a new term for that kind of debasement.

Mark is trying to project, take care. Wool is scratchy on the eyes.
They are about to have some very empty shelves.
Large cities already suffer from food deserts and product shortages will make that worse.
I do grow a garden and I couldn't supply but a small fraction of the food we eat. Even farmers generally only grow one or two crops like wheat or corn
Trump is fighting for us.
Have faith, the Great Pumpkin will show up.
Midterms are too early to predict, but asking folks to admit they made the wrong choice is not to early to predict. They mostly won’t

There are people here who would let Trump punch them in the face and then blame Biden.
It sucks just waiting for the other shoe to drop here because it seemingly never does. There is nothing Trump can do that some folks won’t forgive.
A MAGA cult operates this way
We are hoping that once MAGa’s lived experience is horrible, job loss, inflation, recession, DEI/civil rights erasure, loss of safety because of federal job protection losses, all of it..
Maybe , just maybe , MAGA wake up
Fox News, Trump, Retrumplicans, Bannon, jones, rogan, etc
Total brainwash
Yup
Cult
Oh well, cults never end well!
Remember Jonestown and the koolaid? Waco?

I try to talk to them but they blow me off with a scoff or shake their heads like I'm a loony.
I talk with rare "sane Americans" out loud so the MAGA can hear.
But none of them believe this is reality I'm speaking of.
Sometimes you have to let things play out so lessons can be learned.
And it looks like the next 4 years are gonna be a learning experience for us all.
I just hope that term limits for Congress picks up some momentum.
Hang in there! We will prevail!

Deviates are they the MAGA !!!!
$ 24.95? Nah...who am I kidding?
No, it shouldn't. This regime has repeatedly demonstrated it cannot understand basic, predictable consequences but WILL intervene when prompted. Don't prompt this regime into acting, let the red states experience their consequences.
25% is diehard Regressives.
You get what you vote for.
Some are trying to think to get a blue state or just leave, but it's easier said than done. I get though.
This rich guy don’t know JACK SHIT about us Americans, does he? He has no clue, because he just doesn’t care as long as he’s got his drugs, Big Macs, and little kids to rape.
Rural areas have been increasingly reliant on Walmart
Small stores in rural areas will be scavenging
They will never blame Trump.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
It's an endless, vicious cycle, and they buy the lies each and every time...
American companies could have also invested in robotics and slowly moved some of the manufacturing back.
I am simply stating that regardless of the manufacturing disparities and the trade deficits, MAGA supporters I have been in contact with refuse to see that a loss of civil and personal rights should never have been a result.
He cannot accept blame for anything. Next quarter, it will also be Biden’s fault.
At this juncture their beliefs & Feels are that of cult members. If they worship a person who has never taken accountability for a single thing in his life, and is a walking crime then that’s on them
My personal concern is what people in largely red districts will do physically to Progressives when the shelves become bare, and basic staples become scarce or too expensive.
Desperation breeds terrible acts, esp. when there is a scapegoat present.
I know it’s seems hopeless getting through to these clods, but they’ll turn on him as lives become unlivable.
I won't hold my breath.
Labour is like Democrat.
Tory is like Republican.
EmpathiZe. 😆
Not going to help their grocery prices.
Local Sheriff is MAGA. Local police are largely MAGA (I know, I've been interviewed by their POA when I ran for Council.)
If it comes to that we're in a completely different thing that very few people have actually prepared for.
Many despots allowed violence against scapegoats without it becoming a civil war scenario.
Ubering your way to work & having a Doordash for lunch on a long list of unlikely normal things if we have day to day civil unrest.
And the county might be one where Biden's infrastructure plan repaired roads, fixed bridges, etc
And it's DEFINITELY one that blue states like CA, NY and IL are subsidizing
You'd think our party leaders would have made it a strategy to talk about that at some point
Nope
And all day long, there are replies to news articles stating Newsom is a communist and must go, while they:
Drive to work on the roads repaired by CA DOT
Send their kids to special programs funded by CA DOE
Enjoy parks paid for by CA grants
And more...
Road problems? Democrats have overspent, so there are no highways funds (a state issue).
Bad drinking water? Same
Poor air quality? Same
Bad test scores in schools? Same
Too much fluoride
Clean air? Defund/dismantle the EPA
I could go on
Someone get me the fuck outta here
and you think you're killing it ... why change?
Any attempt to point it out is met with "fake news" and "liberal lies" replies.
They are truly lost.
Isolated groups like ours need national support on historic levels.
Decades of media manipulation, catering to their fears while pointing to scapegoats as the cause for their concerns. Add a politician who is compromised and uses all of that manipulation to their advantage...
Oh, wait, the issues started after Trump's tarrifs so...🙄
Makes no sense.
Every Democrat I know and interact with are pissed, and are ready to stand behind loudly and vote for someone with nerves of steel and a firm backbone, the moment the ability to do so arises.
When l saw a red hat blame Obama for 9/11 (this was footage of a rally in September 2024) and saw another one ask angrily why Europe didn’t warn the USA about the attacks bc we’re ahead a couple of hours, l knew who was going to get elected.🤪

God help the people and children that didn’t vote for this.
I worry...
It's not that they don't understand it all -- it's that they are given 15 second sound bites and it's impossible to fit it.
They don't dare confront Trump on this, because they know that DOGE will come down with a financial hammer.
Messaging takes money. Advertising to get people on the fence to come to meetings takes money.
National leadership sees it as a waste of money.
Desperation breeds terrible acts all on its own. Giving license to those acts can cause the unimaginable.
When anyone attempts to point out that prices are up, they simply reply "fake news" and post laughing face emojis.
Most, however, are living, breathing rubes who twist like a pretzel to ensure the Orange Guy never receives any blame for his actions.
If that's not the Devil incarnate, I don't know what the fuck is
It’s not accomplished by that buffoon
are they pretend they actually care. It eases their guilt
He doesn't need to be smart, just follow the rules of sales.
The people who attend bandy about scripture all of the time on Facebook, yet are proud of Trump for kidnapping children and families and sending them away. For going after trans people.
The false Christianity some show here is astonishing.
They do it all the time and Republicans fall for it.
(But, your reporting the news is true.)
The only slight advantage of living here.
No more 🇺🇸 purchases
Or travel for 🇨🇦✅
🚴🏻♀️.
We are done! 🇨🇦. Sorry
That said, the point at which you and I would agree they *ought* to be carrying pitchforks and demanding Trump's head, and when they actually open their eyes, are miles apart.
My concern is that in between those two points, they will attack Progressives openly.
If it weren't for our Democratic governor, they'd have nothing to show for it, while they complain daily about "overspending" with their hands out where nobody can see it.
Then after spending the money, they take credit, over and over.
'I voted for him, I he'd take care of me'.
They voted for trump because he promised to hurt all the people they hate. Even if they themselves get hurt in the bargain.
It must be the deep state and the CIA that are working with corporations to thwart him.
