We don’t learn. Trump is a lolcow. He generates outrage over absurdity to gain media leverage. This recent media cycle is not an accident and I am disappointed that we didn’t learn our lesson the first decade of this.

    He’s drawing attention away from president Musk and the whole H1-B visa debacle — dominating discussion the week prior — as well as the fact he’s not gonna apply Tariffs (other than symbolic) or anything about inflation etc.

    There won’t be mass deportations or concentration camps significantly beyond the current ICE levels. American corporations depend on migrant slave labor, so they’ll just bribe Trump with cold hard cash if he’s too stupid to have taken the rights propaganda literally; the entire agriculture and hospitality industries would collapse overnight ffs.

    The MSM knows this. They are complicit. They’re just propaganda operatives whose sole goal is manufacturing consent for the plutocracy that runs AmericaCorp.

    Trans rights, education, medicare, regulators etc are all gonna get fucked, though. That’s a certainty as they negatively impact, or are irrelevant to, corporate profits.

      Every new article in this stupid slap fight makes me so mad. Mexico made a retort? Canada offered to buy some states? Who fucking cares dude !

      (Good insight about mass deportations. That’s a flaw in my language but my rhetorical goals are still there, ty.)

        Word. Ignore this assclown’s rhetoric, how’s the gulf of “reduced grocery costs” doing?

        I care. If Trump is going to be joking around with territorial disputes with us then it’s only fair that we’re represented. He deserves all the mockery he gets.

          No judgement for caring! My judgement is on the proportion of caring across the whole media spectrum. :)

          I would vastly prefer a week of focus on other injustices hurtling toward us in the media rather than an obvious distractionary narrative that is exceedingly unlikely to be meaningful, is all I’m saying
