It was facetious. There's virtually no way any Trump voter can claim they didn't vote for a candidate that campaigned on tariffs. It wasn't some hidden agenda. The point being there's an significant chunk of the voting public that will believe what they want to believe regardless of what a candidate says or how they say it.

A friend of ours is a pilot w/ Parks and Wildlife. His wife works for Texas H&HS. They have over 60 years combined as state employees. They're Trumpkins to the core, including posting a video of themselves doing the YMCA dance during dotard's inauguration.

Dotard's asinine response to the deadly crash in DC has made the wife VERY upset. In the most Karen of all moves, she wrote cheeto dick a sternly worded post on his presidential Facebook page, letting him know that even though they've voted for him every time and support everything he does, his blaming of the ATC is a bridge too far and he needs to do better.

We don't really socialize with them anymore. We'll occasionally end up at the same restaurant or brewery by happenstance. It's been remarkably easy to cut these people out of our lives.

Not enough pain for them. Yet. These government employees need to lose their jobs.

per adam smith, 500 men must be poor so that one man can be rich. which means if you're not in the top 0.2% of wealth you're a poor. and looking at the chart of wealth in this country where there's basically a slow ramp from negative on the left side to about the 90th percentile on the right side, and then a bit of increasing curvature over the next few percent, and then you get way over to the right and it's just a line straight up and off the chart, that seems about right.

This week I read an economic outlook paper from a large and widely respected investment firm about how they are thinking about allocation in 2025.  It suggested that a Trump admin might unleash economic growth and optimism based on what he said he would do from a regulatory and bureaucratic standpoint, but also speculated that Trump might not mean what he said he would do with tarrifs and besides, Biden didn’t roll back the last Trump tarrifs on China and that turned out OK, right? 

It’s awfully crowded at the hopium den these days. 

Yep. I have come to really chuckle at the nearly daily releases of pieces from the Economist, which are uniformly some version of “Trump-favored policy X could be a boon for the American people/economy, if executed wisely.”
The “if” in every single one of these pieces is doing some Olympic-level heavy lifting.
The REAL piece needs to be “it doesn’t matter what the policy is, Trump can’t effectively execute it in a way that yields a good outcome.” I don’t care what idea/policy you’re taking about, if the person executing it has a record of repeatedly shooting himself and everyone else in the dick, then THAT is your story.

The media and MAGA social media platforms didn't cover Trump rallies where Trump championed tariffs?

Sure they did, but they did NOTHING to dispel the Trump explanation of what tariffs are. These disgruntled Trump voters aren’t surprised that he is imposing tariffs. They are surprised by what that actually means.

Do you not recall him, for the last 8+ years referring to us making money from China paying tariffs to us?

I have, by and large, changed my tune on unions.

I remain somewhat skeptical of government employee unions.  Unlike the private sector, government is not really known for abusing employees, and there are other means that can be used to exert upward wage/benefit pressures.

I'm willing to entertain discussion on it.

Expand  

The federal government seems to treat their employees ok. The Trump administration seems to be trying to change that. Most state governments treat their employees like shit.

Played golf with a Trumper yesterday. He tried every couple holes to bait the rest of us into a discussion about how quickly Trump has been winning. Apparently the fentanyl problem is finished, the corrupt blue states are close to being brought to heel and the Dems who stole the money appropriated for new reservoirs in Cali are about to be indicted.

The real pain hasn’t begun yet, and most of his people will need to feel it for months if not years before they’ll question their new god.

I think most of them will never, ever question it.  They will slowly become convinced that deporting all Muslims is necessary for national security, and so is leaving NATO, and so is expanding our territory, by force if necessary, and whatever else the Bannons and Millers come up with.  Fox News will help the average Trumpkin become the average German from circa 1938 and they won't even notice.

The true Trumpers? Yep. The other 10% or so that just vote R because taxes and regulations, those will see their wallets empty and finally get angry. 

I’m not sure it will matter, though, once the Musk administration has put their folks at the top of the military, they can simply ignore the constitution at will. Then hold a sham constitutional convention which completes the coup.

My point above is a few tweets and man on the street quotes are mere trifles. Nothing has changed yet, and I agree it probably will not.

Mexico sells apples here for $1.  And America sells apples here for $1.  If we add the 25% tariff to Mexican goods the Mexican apples are now $1.25.  He was here following along.  But when I stated that as the American Apple guy, I raise my price to $1.25 and get to reap more profit.

Expand  

I guess the response could be something like the American apple already costs 1.30 because the costs of growing it here are higher, so low instead of the 1.30 American apple having to compete with the 1.00 Mexican apple it is competing with the 1.25 Mexican apple. 
 

but of course even if that were true the winner is the American business owner and the losers are the Mexican business owner and the American people who now don’t have the lower cost alternative.

Yeah, we did. Now we sell those damn apples to china to buy back in juice. So we pay a tariff on US grown fruit. Smart economics.

I remember when your whole ledge thing seemed like a schtick that had run its course and was beginning to get tiresome. But apparently that dead horse needed to be beat much harder for most people to grasp how shitty things were going to be/already are.

I knew shit was bad. I thought it might get slightly better. Then, I thought it would at least get shitty at a more gradual rate once Trump was re-elected. How naive my already very pessimistic and cynical view turned out to be. Everything is shit and we're all fucked. I'm bringing my La-Z Boy and a full cooler to the ledge and getting real comfortable.

You stated one of the problems with talking with magats.  If you try to any sort of reasonable conversation they are already awash in bizarre shit from OAN or Facebook that is totally made up. 

"Trump stopped the Chinese silver extraction from the asphalt in American highways and turning into solar panels made by slave labor Baptist orphans from the Secret War against the Pedophile Army." (You have no idea how hard it was to create that).  

How do you counter that?  It's impossible.
