We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.
Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

Ignorance is no longer a valid excuse. We all have access to all of human knowledge. “Not knowing how tariffs work” is no longer a valid excuse.
the ignorance is by design. our entire society has been programmed for consumption not critical thought - and this has been done from all sides at the behest of the corporate oligarchy.
as angry and disappointed and depressed as I am with the outcome, its a deep structural failure and I have a hard time placing the blame on those that simply decided to check out and not participate in their own civic education. every pressure on the american plebian has been to keep your head down, ignore the growing deficiencies and consume.
What if all that human knowledge was controlled by an elite few who control the narrative and also infect that information with lies?
Looking up what a tarrif is is hardly secret knowledge
Looking up how to spell it isn’t rocket science either, but apparently you didn’t care enough to do that. So maybe back off a bit.
Oof 🤣
On mobile, and yes didn’t care to fix it. She’s working change the message in this case? No.
No, but how it’s explained to people depends on where you find the information.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to critically analyze info.
You overestimate people.
I tend to see most of Trumps fans as victims more then perpetrators. Nonetheless, its still hard to forgive even if it’s mostly an elite few creating the behavior through manipulation.
Yeah, but a lot of people have outsourced their brain to the likes of Faux and donvict.
