it’s like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won’t do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What’s the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That’s unfriendly to say the least.

    The point?

    I see it like this.

    Profit profit profit at the expense of all Americans for 4 years.

    The next 4 years let Democrats clean up the mess, Democrats are weak anyway.

    Then milk the American people again for another 4 years. The cycle is nonstop.

    This is malicious greed but everyone keeps thinking these people are idiots.

    So that when the oligarchs assume full unchecked control of the US, no one will lift a finger to help the rest of us.

    I don’t even think the majority of American conservatives are on board with most of what’s happening anymore. Some Like almost half are, but they’re especially stupid and usually ideologically oriented to Trump rather than to the traditional brand of US conservatism.
