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 13 points 5 days 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 5 days 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 27 points 5 days ago

They were totally going to raise prices regardless.

[–] Master167@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Remember when inflation and corporate prices rose?

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 74 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 32 points 5 days 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 5 days ago
[–] Jerkface@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

He felt that he knew it.

[–] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 11 points 5 days ago

Feelings don't care about your facts

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.

Using Twitter in 2025 makes both these people fascism apologists

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 26 points 5 days ago

"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!"

[–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days 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 5 days 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.

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

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 21 points 5 days ago

We should just rename our planet Dunning-Kruger World.

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

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

[–] heyWhatsay@slrpnk.net 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nasan@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago

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

[–] roawn@feddit.uk 5 points 5 days ago

bets on the reply being a bait bot

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

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

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 5 days ago

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