So here's the fucking thing.
The crisis is already here. Go take a peak at the ports on the west coast right now. Go look at business forecasts.
This man systematically destroyed a working economy in a business quarter.
The repercussions of these actions are going to be felt for at least a decade.
They will be felt for the rest of the century.
Totally agreed.
These people literally are destroying the pre eminent power and completely usurping centuries old historical power hierarchies seemingly for the benefit of shorting the markets on their own whim.
As if those dollars they earn will be worth anything when hyperinflation hits.
brink of a crisis
Ummm I don't think the meaning of a crisis is understood anymore. Brink implies risking a crisis, where the usa has been in a full on crisis on many fronts for about 100 days. I would even say that they are past the initial crisis point and are getting way to cocky this far into a multi pronged collapse.
Hyuck hyuck hyuck
Trump’s promise? I don’t remember him promising much anything at all until the very tail end of the campaign, and even then it was kinda offhand. OTOH, the troll farms were in absolute overdrive talking about eggs, groceries, worthless higher education, gas prices (even though they are higher now) and of course bashing Harris over tons of things that weren’t even jobs she had the authority to do.
Trump did state he was going to raise tarrifs. The problem is that a lot of voters thought he was going to govern like he did in the first term.
What was so great about the first term? The only thing that kept that from being a disaster was the fact that people stopped him from doing so many shitty things. Now he’s ignoring everyone including the courts.
Trump was relatively ineffective on his first term because he didn't know how to be effective and didn't choose to ignore the courts.
Trying to put myself in the shoes of a Trump supporter who isn't an idiot, they probably thought the damage Trump could do for a second term would be as limited as it was for the first term while still keeping a governmental status quo.
And some people still say he has business skills...
What, you don't think he's getting rich off this?
Yeah people misunderstand Trump's business history. It doesn't matter how many casinos he bankrupted, Trump profited. He's a vampire like a private equity firm, leaving a trail of dead husks behind him.
MAGAts know nothing but hurting others.
They also know hurting themselves.
All to plan
Not even. Him and Elon biffed every other form of autocratic guidance that laid out steps to take.
Cutis Yarvin is furious at how incompetent Musk and Torange have been. By 100 days in they should have been drowning journalists in foam. They haven't even hit 50% of Project 2025 progress.
Rank amateur bitches. Can't even do authoritarianism well.
Sure, but have you considered that Kamala had a weird laugh
This is such a stupid argument and I wouldn’t believe it if it wasn’t for my dad. He keeps talking about her laugh and I explain to him that it’s appropriate to express all emotions…. And he doesn’t believe it. He’s also unable to connect me being in therapy and his behavior.
The statistics of who stayed home VS who voted for a white man with the same policies (older white men/women and older hispanic men) shows most of the votes lost are from Kamala being a colored woman and our most bigoted groups responding accordingly.
Schodinger's cat applies here. We will never know how good or bad Kamala would have been since she didn't win. However, since 47 has done so much shit to damage the country in ways worse than imagined, I'd say she'd done better.
BTW, have you ever heard Trump laughing at anything? That's even weirder IMO.
She would have been better. Biden was an OK president that was ruined by his brazen pro-genocide stance. It doesn't take a lot to be better than Trump.
It's a competition to destroy the US and your opponent is Donald Trump.
That's about the only competitive scenario you could put me in vs. Trump and I'd despair that there would be no path to victory for me.
Musk will light your taxes on fire. Obama was huge on deportation. Kamala is a gun owner. OK, why won't you vote for Kamala then? "I just don't like her. She laughs weird." I couldn't believe it, but it shouldn't shock me. How do you even keep going after that?
It wasn't really about the laugh.
Yea, some of them also noticed she is a minority and a woman. Sadly our country has not accepted those groups are just as capable as white men to lead a country.
The brink? lol we’ve gone off the cliff and are in free-fall
You ever see those cartoons where a samurai charges past someone, nothing happens, the person laughs, and then slowly splits in half?
The US economy is currently in the "nothing happens / laughing" phase.
