The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'

ISO PTSD trigger warning! Hide that shit the next time.

This is all so the American companies don't actually have to compete with anyone else. Instead of lowering their prices to be competitive to give better deals to customers, they game the system and force everyone else to raise prices to match theirs.

Nut had me when he blamed democrats for Trump. Not the actual Russians propping him up and the NRA who was funneled money from Russia to give to Republicans.
-
Why?
Democrats and Republicans have spent the last eight years convincing the poor and middle class that voting doesn't matter. Hell, Democrats even subverted their own primary rules twice to strike that point home, and then argued in court that it was their right to do so when they were sued for it.

Woah, and biden waited until the very end of his term to do something as benign as removing Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism.
Man, whoever is voting for establishment democrats in primaries is really just helping Republicans at this point.

I don't think this is a generational thing, personally, unless we're talking about the Boomers.
The Boomers took a vibrant, beautiful world and spent two generations driving it into this McDonaldized hellhole we live in, after reaping the benefits of the most prosperous economic period for workers in our history in the 1960's. They're still profiting.
The vast majority of the country only has one or two choices when shopping for necessities now, so I can't really blame them for the world that they were born into.

Because that means you supported Trump, regardless of what you say, your actions helped put him in power.

The "Empires last 250 years" thing is bad history and not really supported by fact...but...

I would tend to agree with the process part of accelerationism, but I don't think there is a goal.
The "crazy like a fox" theory is contradicted by several pretty dumb tells that suggest the administration is headed and staffed by actual idiots.
-
If you're mad at me for not voting, blame the people who keep nominating establishment candidates.
Every ounce of effort you spend trying to convince me to vote for the lesser-evil would be better spent convincing people not to nominate the lesser-evil.

I've been using it ever since i heard thats what the younger staffers in the Biden White House called him. I found it simultaneously hilarious, vicious, and accurate. I encourage you and others to use it often.
Other suggestions:
Kapo Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller (my favorite)
Steve "Unwiped Asshole" Bannon
Empty G
Lauren Boobert
Big Boobie Bondi
Couchfucker Vance (not very original, but a good reminder)
Gold Digging Whore (the Propaganda
Secretary, I can't be bothered to learn her name)Traitor also works for all of them. Nazi, too.

Calling young people consumerist is just blaming them for circumstances of which they had no real control.
What? Have you heard the music they listen to? Gucci this, versace that. Have you seen the celebrities they look up to? Gold chains this, expensive tattoos that. Don't even get me started on the cars that cost more than my house.
Just try suggesting to them that delivery apps are scams or that they can be getting most of their digital entertainment for free and see what reactions you get.
No, they are proud consumers doing their part to keep the disparity in wealth growing.

Nice mention of AdNauseam, here is a link:
It's based on uBlock Origin, so still state of the art in ad-blocking.

Your point of view sounds a whole lot like the 2500 year-old history of blaming young people.
In reality, however, it's the Boomers who are largely responsible for the world we find ourselves in, not the 20 year-olds.
