The trade war pales in the long run compared to the power grab by Musk and supporters (accessing the Treasury payment system, shutting down agencies without congressional approval). It's very bad news for American government and democracy, it looks like a coup.

yeah :c. don't see any way out

i hope they don't end too many species along the way

Yeah ik. But the discontent and conditions leading to this sort of moment would still be there at the end of the term was my point

They will be with this one too.

None of this shit is going to help the economy.

Eggs are more expensive already and the current admin has admitted they aren’t going to do anything about it.

But the media won’t be hammering on the egg price story, and people won’t feel like it’s as bad.

im well aware trump is worse and is not solving anything.

Also-

I do wish the gripe wasn't the egg thing - that one in specific is because they're intentionally killing hens to keep us safe from disease. last thing i want is for them to make the egg price go down and everyone gets sick.

when the tarrifs happen we will have plenty of economic disaster to point to.

Also Also-

when the pitch for the two candidates are "things stay bad" vs "i promise to change things to make your life better (lie)", it kinda makes sense

i don't agree with trump voters. frankly i hate them. but it's understandable at least
