You think there will be any political fallout from this tariff situation? I'm not talking about from voters protesting or whatever, I mean from politicians. For example removing Trump's power to set tariffs.

Personally I think even if Trump causes the 2nd Great Depression (which he might already have) Republicans in Congress still won't be able to bring themselves to do anything more than say "I'm concerned". The cult shyt is too strong and they're too scared of Trump's base, I just can't see them ever voting against Trump's agenda, or at least not enough of them to actually pass anything.
absolutely NOT. they are all as spineless as they come.

He’s a deity unlike the “democratic” world has ever seen. Even if his favorability waned there’s not a human on this earth that can challenge his power in the Republican Party. Trumpism dominating that party will outlive Trump.

Agreed. Republican voters are like a hivemind in their support for Trump. It's cult-like. Meanwhile, Democrat voters have both sides morons running interference which dampens morale on our side. For example, you can't even criticize Trump that hard on r/Conservative without getting downvoted or banned. But on here, #bothsides can go crazy. Not saying we shouldn't have the right to criticize political candidates; just stating how Republicans support their candidates to the point of being deluded while Democratic voters are apathetic. That dynamic is not gonna change after Trump dies.

No disagreement.

All of this means to me that the American people aren’t equipped mentally to participate in their own governance. The experiment was a great idea but apartheid origins that fueled the rise to power will also be the downfall

How, he's neutered all of them and fealty to Trump is some Republican badge of honor..
They sound like devout jihadists when they speak of him.

That red line looks a bit concerning

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Mrs. Betty, "idiots" doesn't quite sum it up.

Markets do not an economy make...but the people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy probably don't appreciate the difference anyway, so, yeah.

(to be specific, I mean the people who thought a serial bankruptcy artist would somehow be good for said economy)

I am hearing so many "experts" and CEOs saying this was unexpected. It was obvious!! How can people say they didn't expect this? Insane.

From what I am seeing in conversations with anyone older than me by a bit, and I am an old GenX, is that their framework is stuck in conditions that held 10 and 20 years ago. They can't connect to how deep the change is in the culture, the electorate, or what the regime just did.

This is why when a republican says they are “fiscally conservative” I reply with, “oh so you’re bad with money.”

Look at Biden go! He left the economy in way better shape than he found it

Democrats always do. But prosperity is too "woke", I guess. Can't have us any "woke" around here.

That is so glaringly obvious even to someone who isn’t woke.
Hello MAGA? Still enjoying all the ‘winning’?!?!

It really wasn't the economy, they knew who they were voting for. They voted for hate and racism. They voted for a man they thought would hurt the people they don't like. But now that the leopard is eating their face they are upset. I have nothing for any of them.

Most voted for a racist.

Many because they were racist and/or sexist.

Economy and Immigration. Neither are being worked on. Tariffs are killing the stock market, and deporting people is NOT fixing Immigration! Especially when deporting by targeting skin color and tattoos! White supremacist have taken over the WH!

It was never about the economy. It was about racism and misogyny.

The market lost more money in one day than the $4.5 trillion in tax cuts given to billionaires.

And all of that on the backs of ordinary American taxpayers.

I’m Australian and my retirement savings (superannuation- similar to your 401k) has taken a dive.
To think that the world suffers because 77 million stupid brainwashed Americans voted for this shyt show !!!

Trump is a one-man recession, fukking things up worldwide.

As for those Americans who voted for that turd?
I don't have enough venom left in me for how much I hate what they've done to the world.

This is why conservative media have suspended their stock tickers, as if people won’t notice the absolute collapse of the global economy.

🇺 rsurg323.bsky.social
It’s kinda working for them. Some magats have no idea what has been happening to the market and think it’s just a tiny short term dip that’s “gonna be good for us in the long run.” 😑 They’re still gullible enough to believe all the lies.

Dems need to prepare for report due April 20 to POTUS on whether to apply Insurrection Act.

Economy deliberately crumbling, global relations souring, stump speeches seem insufficient.

Dems: align, litigate, work the press, reach / engage across political divides.
