Retailers vs trump. Let them kill each other imo.

I'm checking out. America is going to fuck itself to death and I'm tired of pretending like I care about any of these people.

So what? He's not going to care and 2/3 of the electorate in the United States chose Trump.

FYI, those who didn't vote chose Trump as much as the people who voted for Trump

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Trump didn't even get a majority of the popular vote - you might be thinking of the electoral college, which skewed the result by overweighting sparsely populated deep red states

Worth noting that a BUNCH of votes got disqualified thanks to distributed, local efforts by Republicans, and the effort was targeted. The article I read pointed out that black people got their votes tossed 900% more often than white people, for example.

And the triple hit of inflation due to tariffs, reduced offer and of course speculation

Muricans are about to get tired of all the winning they voted for

Also the bond route. Argentina style economic policies.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

well Argentina has a horrific track record so tRump probably loves it

Why would the supreme leader care? He doesn't even know what groceries are.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You don't need stupid groceries when you have amphetamines and hamburders

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I think you mean McDonald's

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Groceries, such an old word. Groceries.. Grooooceries.

I'm all for a "Hot Tariff Summer." Let the shelves be mostly empty, with everything else tripling in price.

Even MAGAs will feel the pain, and they'll know it is all HitlerPig's fault. Once they start questioning him even a little bit, it's the beginning of the end for him.

His approval ratings are already underwater, and dropping. Let him have his way for a while, and his virtuosic incompetence will do more to reduce his support than anything the Resistance can do.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Magas won't know it was hitlerpigs fault because Fox News and Newsmax will tell them it's some leftwing conspiracy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago

They'll try to believe it, but they'll know the truth.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Surely this bankrupts dollar general

Then what? Best hope is a Blue wave in 2026, impeachment, then removal. Dont think that's happening sadly. We got 3 more years

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I would agree, if all things remained the same, but allowing his Tariff Economy to stretch its legs, and make the MAGAs and Corporations feel extreme pain, will change the playing field, and alienate many people who were past supporters. If Republican constituents are screaming at their Senators, maybe a significant number will finally decide that enough is enough.

Of course, impeachment/ removal would be a somewhat unsatisfying result, as it would only put Vance in the driver's seat, and psycopath Peter Theil keeps him on a very tight leash. We would be at Theil's mercy, and he has well established that he has none.

Mainstream Dems don't have the balls to do that

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Mainstream Dems already impeached him twice. It did shit all to end his first presidency or prevent a second one. It's a worthless step, obviously.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Because they need to follow through with the second part, removal from office. Impeachment are just charges being brought forth.

Related question- how much did Walmart and Target donate to the trump campaign and/or “inauguration fund?”

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 days ago

They knew this was possible last summer, but they took the gamble. Sometimes you lose.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Where are our trump did that stickers.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 4 days ago

On the shelves of chinese warehouses, due to his tariffs.
