Using tariffs Trump has managed to implode what was a thriving economy, I don't really think that is debatable . It doesn't really matter why. The average person doesn't even know that they have money in the stock market, whether it be in a 401k or company IRA , or [ (edited to add after pointed out by a commenter, because they are so important and I missed them, Pension Funds,)], and being clueless were led like lambs to the slaughter.

Large players were hedged or shorted, fortunes are being made in darkness, small players were used and discarded, and the fallout has only just begun. And now a whole generation of people will experience their first bear market for all the wrong reasons. How will clueless people react when they realize what they have really lost, and do those people even deserve our sympathy?

The Senate has just voted to CANCEL Trump's tariffs on Canada by a vote of 51-48.

Tim Walz - ”It's like Trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country.“

You know your calls are cooked when the board comes out




Republican Congressman Keith Self quoted Joseph Goebbels, Hitler’s propaganda minister, during a congressional hearing Who is shocked? Anyone? MAGA is a fascist movement, so no shit sherlock they quote nazis. Of course they do. They ARE nazis..


PSA: MAGA will be quiet for a few days. They are currently waiting for their software update


For the next 1-3 days expect MAGA to be silent about the tariff situation. They may seem uncertain or anxious to stake out a real position. If you talk to a MAGA person the most they will have to say is "he's bringing American jobs back!". They won't be able to respond to any counter points you bring up and may be unsure what to say about what this will do to costs

This is what I call "MAGA loading". Once they receive their software update, they will now have responses to things liberals commonly say (meaning typical thought terminating cliches and whataboutism). All conservative commentators are going to push this update out to their followers in unison

Make sure to point this out to them, as it demonstrates how little they think for themselves!

Trump will blame us for the coming economic downturn.


Just FYI - thinking ahead, Donald will absolutely place the blame on people like those in this community when the tariffs and shit blow up in his face. Rhetoric will probably include “anti-American boycotts” and call us marxists/leftists/liberals etc.

Having a large number of people actively trying to cause economic pain to large corporations makes us an easy out to excuse the most ridiculous trade policy we have ever seen.

Prepare yourself for an especially mean Fox News segment and pure demonization. We’re going to be the next scapegoat.
