    There’s a new batch of Trump signs that have appeared in the last couple of weeks which I call the “TRUMP GOOD / KAMALA BAD” signs. They are targeted at the unimaginably simple, with stuff like “TRUMP LOW TAXES / KAMALA HIGH TAXES” and “TRUMP SECURE BORDER / KAMALA OPEN BORDER”. My favorite is the one that says “TRUMP LOW PRICES / KAMALA HIGH PRICES” which counts on the total ignorance of basic economics on the part of Trumpers - tariffs raise prices.

    These signs are almost as amusing as the “TRUMP: UNIFYING THE COUNTRY” billboards. I don’t know who the fuck those are aimed at.

    I’m not American, but the Great Depression and 1932 was taught in school as it was that historically significant as the biggest low-point in modern western economics.

    Bold of them to think the coffee and donuts would be free under Trump.
