A coworker of mine was dangerously close to connecting some of the dots yesterday.
He started complaining about how things are getting more expensive, and how the company we work for has started buying things from overseas because even with tariffs it's cheaper than buying American made, and then came the stunning part.
He said "They say they have to raise prices because of terrorists or some shit, but how do WE know if that's true? How do we know there ARE any terrorists and it's not just all bullshit made up by politicians and the news to justify raising prices so they can get rich."
And then he took a hard right turn and added that "all those goddamn r****d democrats in congress" are to blame.
So close.
Fox News brain kicked in
The talking points are integrated in their personality.
I would have just said "Republican Congress voted for the tariffs." And watched with popcorn.
...
But how? Trump has explicitly stated how 'good' the tariffs are. He has wholeheartedly expressed his commitment to the tariffs.
How the fuck does this spin back around to 'it's the dems fault'??? Like, god damn — I'm sorry to insult your coworker but the only word I can think to describe them is the word they used to describe dems.
Don't be, most of them are barely more capable than apes. And that's mildly insulting to a few ape species. With a little training, the apes would be far more capable and understanding.
This one in particular isn't the worst, but when he's on drugs he can be.
Most of them are racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic, xenophobic in general... At least nobody has been wearing the Civil War Losers Flag. Well, several of them do wear plain white cut-offs...
