We are often blinded by our surroundings (if you live in an educated urban center you don't see how many uneducated people in rural areas are actually in support of him). I saw a video of a farmer being interviewed in North Dakota who is a trump supporter. They asked him what he would do if Trump deports all illegal immigrants with raids as many of his workers are not legal immigrants and he said well he doesn't believe Trump will do that because then he wouldn't have enough workforce and can't afford otherwise Trump has talked about deportation since Day 1. These people are just blatantly stupid. Oh trust me, I know. I live in Tennessee and this 30s-year-old woman who cuts my hair lives out in the country, has a boyfriend who's been in and out of jail PLUS in and out of rehab for meth, and she's always bragging about the fun they have terrorizing Walmarts and doing donuts in parking lots next to cops. Yet they love Trump. In certain regions of the country, they see political ideology as just an identifier no different than race. Everyone they know is MAGA, they live in the reddest parts of a red state, so of course they're MAGA too. When Trump is demonizing people, they only imagine the people they don't like. Trump wears their jersey, so he couldn't possibly ever be talking about them. They're safe. 3 1
FameFatale Posted Tuesday at 02:27 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:27 AM The press briefing tomorrow will be a doozy. Karoline Leavitt never answers a question and gaslights. Should be interesting I also notice he's already pushing Fox News and Newsmax front and center.
brazil Posted Tuesday at 02:32 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:32 AM There was an assassination attempt against Bolsonoro with a knife during the elections, clearly unsuccessful as he survived and for the next four years we kept saying in Brazil something that would translated as "******* bad stab" "why didnt he twist it" etc Now it's the the time for the "******* bad shot" lol 1
Relampago. Posted Tuesday at 02:34 AM Posted Tuesday at 02:34 AM Trump's popularity is unsurprising, he's riding a high right now. Whether that remains, we'll see. 5

Put 50% tariffs on all their imports. Alas, it wouldn't really work like that on the short (or medium term). There are some things (ag products mainly) where the Canadians could just totally pull out of the US and sell other places, but the US is a net exporter of basically all of them as well (the exceptions are maple syrup and I believe a few niche apple varieties, maybe there are a few more), plus uranium and a few other mined materials and potash that the US can't easily get elsewhere, but the overwhelming majority of goods traded from Canada into the US can't really be shipped to a different market. It's either hydrocarbons in a fixed pipeline that can't go anywhere else because the infrastructure doesn't exist, or are automotive/heavy machinery parts that get shuttled back and forth between the midwest and Ontario about a dozen times during their manufacturing process in a symbiotic relationship that goes back to the 1910s. Eventually more oil and gas export pipelines to Canadian ports could be built (we're talking a decades timescale here, and it requires immense cooperation between dozens actors in the face of the current noncooperative environment), and an automotive supply chain could be developed with Mexico (though... these are almost all American companies or the American-based subsidiaries of companies like Toyota and Honda so they'd probably not bother and just bring all the Canadian parts in the process back to the US), but it would be far less cost efficient to fly those parts and far less time efficient to sail them around, so it would probably never financially make sense. As for putting a 50% tariff on US goods, well... most of the Canadian crude that's exported down to the US is done so because Canada doesn't have the refining capacity to... desludgeify it, so the top value import into Canada from the US is refined fuel, and the only global oil producer I can think of with the slack capacity necessary to supply Canada would be Russia, so... They're going to have to play ball with Trump, whether they like to admit it or not. The truest national security threat would be withholding uranium, but I could see Trump's initial response to that to be to invade Saskatchewan to take the mines directly 1

Of course she's a Trump supporter too. This was the one I didn't think he'd touch either. I guess best case is that he recreates it in some different form that provides a discount but is more beneficial to the Pharma companies that he can take credit for (and rest easy in the knowledge that no one really got to experience the effects of what this could've done, so how do they know if his is better or worse). More realistically, we're just back to square zero again

Fleahive Posted Tuesday at 03:38 AM Posted Tuesday at 03:38 AM (edited) I can definitely see the lightbulb of his middle class and lower class supporters turning on at some point this year. I don't think this presidency will last long. Just my gut feeling. But not in a "lets become democrats!" way. I imagine the start of a revolution and uprising of a new party and/or a universally respected republican. Edited Tuesday at 03:42 AM by Fleahive 4
