Okay, idiot republicunts. You happy now? Not only are eggs going to be MORE expensive because of bullshit tariffs, but your kids are going to die from measles and shit. Way to go, cunts.
To be fair, the price of eggs will likely be more affected by bird flu which will spread uncontrollably, since Trump will abolish all common sense regulations.
But what about the price of pre sliced cheese?
Not to worry, they will probably come up with a near total ban on abortions and birth control, and then there'll be that many more children, so that enough of them can survive to become wage slaves for the billionaire class.
As long as the liberals kids die too they're fine with it.
I feel bad saying this, but part of me wonders if this is what they need. A real wake up call, a real understanding a real view of how bad a country can get if you throwaway the guardrails in place that was there to keep the very government in check and allow them to outright eat the poor to supplement the rich.
I just hope it doesn't destroy the country before they realise what's taken from them.
These are not people who will learn from experience. They'll just look for more scapegoats.
How many people died from Covid from refusing to wear masks and refusing to get vaxed during Trump? Then Trump claimed credit for getting the vaccine made.
Yet here we are.
:(
I have a deep yearning for this to happen. But logically I find it far more likely that they'll just blame anything going wrong on Biden and Obama initiatives.
With the Supreme Court in play, They might just start locking up people for criticizing the government. It'll be fake news soup to nuts
They won’t know about it until it personally affects them, then they’ll play the victim card.
No, then it will simply be democrats fault, or immigrants
As is tradition!
Not their kids, they can afford the vaccines at list price. It's the poors who will die, as Supply Side Jesus intended.
Doesn't matter if enough people aren't vaxed for herd immunity
Who exactly do you think voted for Trump? lmao
How does that help them? It's a vaccine. If just you have yours, it doesn't work very well. It still helps some and objectively improves things so it's still a good idea, but it's not like having it when everybody does their job.
You are thinking like someone who gives a damn about other humans. Yes, everyone benefits when everyone who is able to gets the shot and we can keep the overall spread down.
But what if you are the type of person who thinks that everything is a zero-sum game, and you're not really a winner unless you have more than the other guy? What advantage is there to you, personally, if everyone benefits? It's much better if you get the benefits, and people you hate do not.
All those hillbilly fuckbrains who voted for trump? All those suburban moms who voted for a rapist? Nah bruv, those people can’t afford a $1200 vaccine or whatever the fuck. The traitor oligarchs can, sure. Perhaps they will meet their fate via a different route, nahmean?
