it’s like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won’t do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What’s the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That’s unfriendly to say the least.

    Feel free to estimate how many are swayed by Russian propaganda. It’s been swaying results since 2016 and embedding itself further into minds since then. That seems like a lot of people over time if you ask me, definitely much more than a “handful” lmao

      I’d estimate, maybe half a percent? Might be too generous.

        yes, I’m sure the orangutan rapist criminal coup attempter won a second election just because of inflation and only “half a percent” being swayed by propaganda lmao. Might be too naive

          Yes, because being an “oragutan rapist criminal coup attempter” doesn’t actual affect the average person’s life in any tangible way. Inflation does. Not hard to understand why he won, as they say, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

            That’s a super dumb take. He’s made/is making a shitload of decision that negatively affect millions.

              That’s not what I said. I said that the things you mentioned about him don’t affect the average person’s life in any tangible way, not that his actions in general don’t affect them.

              Perhaps, if the democrats spent more time focusing on those tangible things and distinguishing themselves on policy and less time focusing on his personal character, they might have had a chance.

                  January 6th is not distinguishing on policy, it’s another example of focusing on character in a way that doesn’t have any direct, material impact on people’s lives.

                  Project 2025, Trump disavowed, and I don’t recall democrats really focusing on specific points from it that would materially impact people’s lives. Telling people to read a 900 page document that Trump claims not to support is not enough, no.

                    If you think that shitting all over democracy by attempting a coup and lying about the integrity of your elections “doesn’t have any direct, material impact on people’s lives” then you have brain worms. People even died to this shit. Families and friendships have been ruined.

                    Project 2025, Trump disavowed

                    Oh wow, I’m so glad that the serial liar “disavowed” it and then proceeded to install the minds behind project 2025 into government and speed-run the implementation of its policies.

                    Telling people to read a 900 page document that Trump claims not to support is not enough, no.

                    Don’t be disingenuous and obtuse. Nobody asked anyone to read 900 pages, summaries of the project were detailed all over the media and Dems/Kamala highlighted various points of the project. Again, if people were too retarded to take it seriously that’s on them. They can eat the shit they ordered now.
