Hey guys: At least we didn’t elect Genocide Joe, amirite? Those Democrats will sure learn their lesson from not voting for Bernie.
Fucking christ this country is fucked and the global economy ain’t gonna do much better once the European tariffs get added to the mix.
My fellow Americans: you wanted this shit. Wallow in it, you fucking idiots.
22% of the total US population wanted it.
Every single person who didn’t vote wanted this because they were fine with it happening.
Yeah, I agree-ish, and they weren’t accounted for in that metric above either. I grapple with processing the thought because I had to vehemently discuss at great length to some voting in that direction that “you can’t help others (countries) until you help yourself (USA)” as they grappled with the, “I don’t want to actively vote for genocide.” They also didn’t realize due to being younger that “oh, honey” moment when America has been complicit in the killing of so many humans, and this election was an inflection point of literal doom. (To be fair, the Democratic party should have treated it with the same respect, and didn’t.) Not to downplay the killing of humans, but just…and now, this.
These non-voters were using what they consider their power to vote (or not), which is what we all should respect as a power we have (or had anyway) and try to do good in their own way, they just didn’t realize that this was literally them choosing to fuck themselves, their friends, their families, their country, their planet.
Maybe I’m being too compassionate to our other citizens in general, I even really hope TurboHitler worshipers have the oh-shit realization about how they were swindled and they get welcomed back into the fold (after we all unite and smite this Nazi shit back to the Hell from whence it came) because, “hey, yeah, you were pretty dumb, but you learned something, right?”
I’d still take internal American drama and hardship over WWIII. America was leaning Fascist from the late 1920s to the early 1940s until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. It took a world war to fix that. I really don’t want another world war.
Apologies for the non-brevity.
No, sorry, I do not respect anyone who allows a fascist to come into power through their inaction and ambivalence.
That’s 31.6% of eligible voters 46% of eligible voters may not have actively wanted it, but they were okay enough with it to not bother voting against it.
We didn’t 🥲
- Canadians (and I’m sure Mexicans too)
You guys will find new places to export to. Really the only big loser here will be the U.S.
Also, remember that he’s imposing tariffs without offering alternatives. Good luck finding someone else to buy timber from, American businesses. You sure won’t be able to get enough domestically.
Good luck surviving on “american made”. This is gonna be funny as hell
No one wants American trucks, you can’t export them to Asia, Africa or Europe. Americans barely want American trucks.
Now not even Canada or Mexico will buy American trucks. Canada and Mexico will double down on buying from Asia. There goes America’s final market for its trucks.
While American factories try to rejig everything in the production line and supply chain, Asia car companies will step in to fill the void. Another blow to American manufacturing.
