Can’t fix stupid or brainwashed.
Wait until this "hard-working American" experiences the results of Trumps mismanagement firsthand.
On the other hand, those idiots are stupid enough to believe that Trumps tariffs are all Bidens fault. Hunter Bidens.
Get what they have coming, huh. Too bad they're trying the rest of us with them...
I had to read this 3 times to make sense of it... Look, I know full stops are overrated, but commas are important! And they're easy too, just place one in the exact same place you would if you paused while speaking.
Ya know I hope the US collapses in the next few months just so folks like this have an identity crisis. It'd be funny and helpful since they'd have to create a new hopefully less horrid identity.
I believe it's going to be super fascinating because I don't believe collapse is actually possible anymore. All indices - the stock market, the price of gold, crypto, the dollar - all of it - is, imo, set-and-supported by algorithms and dark pools.
If true, this weirdly leaves the "illuminati" to do what they please, as these markets will no longer offer any actual consequences for... anything at all, really.
There's a saying the fall of empires is slow until it's not. The fact of the matter is the US isn't all that different from those that fell before it, the British, Soviets, and French all seemed to be on top of the world right until they weren't. All empires are on a timer from their birth, they all fall eventually and in the modern age it could come from anywhere.
My personal bet is that the source will be economic in nature, Trump's tariffs will cause base level economic issues which will effect basically everyone. You'll probably get a block of states who will declare independence possibly with international backing triggering a domino effect not to dissimilar from the Soviets.
I don't think the stock market or really anything else is really notable, as you said it's largely automated meaning it's pretty much disconnected from reality at this point making it a piss poor indicator of ground level issues.
They'd just find a way to blame the "extreme left liberals" and the "woke mind virus" for the collapse.
That's blame not identity two different things, what I'm talking about is how many folks like this pin their entire fucking identity on being ra ra American. It's fucking insufferable and I would hope they'd stop pinning their identity on a dead empire. But then again looking at how many Russians still pin their identity on the USSR maybe I'm being too optimistic.
Why would they change their identity if they still think that their god king was right, though?
Fully agreed on the insufferable part.
Fair enough, my point was moreso on them abandoning the idea of them being innately better for being American. Also I suspect if the US does implode lots of these people will become isolated from each other meaning the god king shit with Trump would implode over time. I kinda doubt the infrastructure that allows them to yuck about on Facebook would continue to work.
I can't imagine being this stupid. Like actually try it. It causes the same sort of feeling as trying to understand the size of the universe.
I would emphatically agree with him and list all the stupid shit he's doing as 'based and epic' - and fully in line with what Republicans have been advocating for nearly a century for.
It's fun to play pretend, at least online - which let's be honest has to be the only place you can get away with saying this shit now. People are losing their jobs / contracts, seniors are losing their social security. Saying this shit even around fellow Republicans has got to be a risky move.
Definitely! Just being in the same room as him and just listening to him talk makes my brain hurt.
The US is going to need its own version of the Nuremberg trials.
they are getting what they deserved.
economy going down, prices going up, international scorn and ridicule.
that sounds like what people who voted for a rapist deserve.
Why are you painting this as if it's such a bad thing? Have you even considered that he's a businessman?
Well, you won’t need to worry about expensive, low-quality lube due to tariffs, because it would be useless to put on the 5m wide white hot iron dildo you’re gonna take up your ass
What, exactly, do they think they deserve?
If you ask him wtf he is talking about, he couldn't tell you.
Exactly nothing he says makes sense and this is just one person that I work with on my crew, including myself there are 10 other people and 9 of them are almost exactly the same as him.
