Found the fucking idiots who couldn't be bothered to vote for Kamala.

Or that voted for donvict because "R".

Retirement vanishing, social services being cut, tariffs destroying global trust and economy... It's ok. It's ok. Because Donald Trump doesn't laugh. Kamala had a weird laugh. That would've been the end of us.

"Did I miss something?"

No, you intentionally avoided listening to what we were telling you.

Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.

My sister voted for Trump, only learned after the fact, because of "the inflation" so I asked her how she tough the tariffs would help on that. Her answer? "What do you mean, what are tariffs?" A little too late I send her a youtube video about Tariffs and Trump and she was like wtf. She lives in California, so it's not like she helped him win, but I'm going to keep a tab on her before elections.

This is what the democratic party has to learn. Your sister is a sizable representation of the electorate. They have no goddamn idea how anything works. They voted purely based on vibes. You have to capture the terminally unengaged and uninformed voters if you want to be able to stay in power.

A Lemmy post about an article about a Reddit post. The internet feels more and more incestuous every day.

Donald J Trump is a liar, rapist, cheat and a lousy business man that has failed every single business, and Americans voted in this useless excuse for a human being to enforce facism, racism, and colonialism. Well done America.

One mistake Temu is making is showing it as "Import fees". That's correct of course, but they should label it specifically as "Import tariffs" or "Tariffs", so that it's clear what this is. From the comments in the linked reddit threads, a lot of people just think they're extra fees Temu is voluntarily putting on as retaliation, their brains still aren't making the link between "import fees" and "trump's tariffs on China".

145% isn't even accurate because that's just on the cost of the good. You then have to figure in retailer margin, seller margin etc. Most MSRPs will be 300% of what they were to keep those the same as before.

It's only just begun. Wait until there are empty shelves at Wal-Mart. MAGA is going to have to work overtime to blame it on Biden.
