Step 1: Create disaster (put tariffs on your allies)

Step 2: Rabble, rabble, rabble while you dismantle the rest of the government and put people in concentrations camps.

Step 3: Tell everyone you solved the disaster by making it a tiny bit less of a disaster.

Step 4: Celebrate?

I, for one, am ready to watch my fellow countrymen fall all over themselves to find a way to elect him a 3rd time while hating everything about their lives directly because of his policies. Can't wait!

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

The media will just blame it on obama or something. The "The Deep State" has always been a campaign to explain why republican statements don't match their policy results to gullible people.

Worked for Trump's first term I guess. Kill people from resisting vaccinations and mandates. Then encourage people to get vaccinated.

This. The trade deal is not too bad, but it's way worse than the pre-Trump state of things.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Yeah there's no good reason to restrict trade with the eu. They're the most similar economy to us and we've found a reasonable balance. When we compete it's often beneficial to both economies and where we don't it's in deeply intertwined ways. The sophisticated machinery you buy from the Netherlands may use parts from Chicago and be the best tool for making products in either Czechia or Alabama.

Honestly Europe had more cause to tariff us over our lax regulations on labor, environmentalism, and consumer protection resulting in an unfair advantage.

One really frustrating part of all of this is they said we couldn't raise minimum wage because "it'd increase prices." Meanwhile, it's perfectly fine to do this, because prices rising is actually fine now.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 28 points 1 week ago

They were totally going to raise prices regardless.

[–] Master167@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Remember when inflation and corporate prices rose?

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I notice this seems to happen a lot on Shitter doesn't it?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah but mostly because people will fight over everything on there regardless of if they know anything

How did we instantly upgrade from "feeling" to "knowing"?

[–] sanderium@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 week ago
[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

He felt that he knew it.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 12 points 1 week ago

Feelings don't care about your facts

[–] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The base doesn't understand what tarrifs are but they 100% know that the orange turd is fighting for them.

This is what happens when education takes a back seat and propaganda, identity politics, war profiteering, and geopolitical coercing takes hold to be the "greatest country of all time".

And they start to believe everything that matches their bias.

"Ah ha! That's how I know you don't know what you're talking about, you're an 'expert!' and they don't know anything! Checkmate!"

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

An "ex" is a has-been and a "spurt" is a drip under pressure.

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago

So that's why you spell exspurt like that

[–] Muaddib@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 week ago

Using Twitter in 2025 makes both these people fascism apologists

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

We should just rename our planet Dunning-Kruger World.

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I consider them both clowns. Who the fuck uses twitter anymore?

Clown 1 was correct, but still, arguing on the shit pile is still just standing on the shit pile.

[–] Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

In Denmark, Facebook is still by far number 1.. We might be cool politically, but very out of touch when it comes to keeping up with the internet.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

It wouldn't surprise me if that was a bot account doing it for engagement.

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I lost track, how much does it cost to get the totally legit blue check on X-twit?

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Enough to question the life choices of people who pay for it.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

"You don't know anything about this topic because what you say does not align with what I have in my head"

Right wing governments need austerity to encourage the societal suspicion and infighting they thrive on.

[–] roawn@feddit.uk 5 points 1 week ago

bets on the reply being a bait bot

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 points 1 week ago

At least their username and pfp are accurate; he stinks.

Oh no rasmus is cooked. He got setup to get crushed by the "thats why you're the former.."
