Vote for stupid and you get stupid
Does anyone in Temecula want free eggs?
Depends on the animal. We talking cobras?
A conservative will eat a bowl of pig shit if a liberal has to smell their breath.
You know what: I would smell their breath if they’d eat a bowl of pig shit. It’d be worth it.
Now we’re owning the conservatives
Don’t forget, the non-voters are just as complicit as the Trumpers.
Ah, yes, that’s the solution, sow more division.
Yes okay what will they do to us? More nothing? Oh well.
meh. the “let’s come to a common understanding” ship sailed long ago
fuck trump, fuck everyone who voted for him, fuck everyone who voted 3rd party, and fuck everyone who didn’t vote.
some people will suffer more than others because of this, but you know who won’t suffer shit? billionaires, and that was the plan all along
Not division, just facts. Millions sat on their hands rather than do the bare minimum to forestall whatever the Hell the right wing is going to unleash on us all. There are plenty of reasons why Trump won and lazy shits who wouldn’t vote in light of Project 2025 are absolutely part of the problem. I’d tell you all to go fuck yourselves, but you already did…
Right, and that is awful, but it’s ignorant and self-defeating of us to make enemies and play the blame game instead of seeking conversations and understanding.
If you tell people this is their fault and make them into the enemy, they will gladly act as the enemy. And they’ll blame everyone but themselves, a fact Trump has been far too happy to exploit.
How do you know that every non voter was going to vote against Trump?
Don’t know that, didn’t say that
What’s the solution?
Mandatory voting. In Australia you have to pay a fee if you don’t want to vote. They seem to like it because it keeps the extremes out.
Right. The problem is that the people who benefit from the way things are happen to be the same ones who can pass the laws necessary to change voting to be mandatory. It’s not happening anytime soon.
Not to mention the fact a majority of this country (the US) is absolutely braindead politically and it will only get worse as the department of education is dismantled from the inside out.
Regardless, it’s a good idea. How many things worth doing should be thrown out because they’re hard to do?
“It’s hurting you too, so it was worth it.”

Can we raise taxes on Trump voters to pay for all of this?
Can’t states impose their own taxes on imports? Since that’s where the ports are? Like if the product isn’t going to be sold in the state but transported further, then put additional tax it.
If history repeats itself, China will institute tariffs in such a way so as to target Trump voting states/counties as much as they can.
But this whole thing will be disastrous to us all, to be clear.
How will they do that?
Tax whiskey, car parts, and agricultural output ( for example ).
I’m having a hard time finding old articles from Trump’s first presidency but I remember some analysis of the retaliatory tariffs China implemented seemed to target products produced in redder states and counties.
Soybeans are the big one they hit last time
Without looking at data, I would suggest taxing aluminum first because that will make cheap beer more expensive. Cities will tend towards bars (steel kegs) and independent brewers (glass bottles), while conservatives will drink bud lights from a can.
You could probably do way better with data, and China has more data than any other country. They will find the perfect product to tariff.
