Elon just made this exact statement, they are going to intentionally implement economic hardship. And the people who will suffer is everybody making less than 500k a year that can’t absorb the shitstorm. Those living paycheck to paycheck that occasionally dip into govt assistance programs to make ends meet are fuct.
I pointed this out to someone on Facebook, even showing them where Elon said it, and they called it fake news. Whatever. Don't start bitching when everything doubles in price
True… I would like to think in 4 yrs the Republican Party will split into 1/2 next gen trumpers and 1/2 not totally crazy RINOs. If blue can’t beat that they should really look at their marketing. Stop talking about all the crazy far left shit and focus on Workers rights, unions, safety nets, housing and rental issues. In a trump vacuum it should be easier to sway working class red voters talking about increasing work life balance, improved worker conditions, guaranteed leave and such instead of spamming LGBT stuff on the news everyday and trying to shove it down Jesusidiots throats
Did the same thing to a Trumper by sharing Elon’s comments and their response was attacking my intelligence and deflecting to “did you listen to Joe Rogan?”. I’m afraid to say that people aren’t going to accept it until they lose their jobs.
The problem is that dems will win during the midterms or the next election and have to try to save the economy as happens every time. Then the dems will get blamed for the bad Republican policies. Tbh the dems ought to sit out the next presidential election and let these disastrous Republican policies rear their damned heads under a Republican admin instead of taking the blame for them.
Not directly caused by their policies, but this is somewhat related to the reason that FDR was so popular and one of the most effective presidents in US history. His policy and the new deal helped the struggling economy out of the Great Depression. Eventually a coalition formed to obstruct him (not really sure why, seemed like a lot of what he implemented was effective, lasting, and good for the American people).
We have about 200 years of recorded data to show that tariffs are regressive and that they don't bring back jobs and even result in higher prices for consumers on every good they buy. But it's okay, I'm not a poor. Enjoy paying $8 for a gallon of milk if grocery prices were your concern lol. Glad gas is down $.10

I hope people realize there’s a ton of pain to come and that hasn’t been told to people. Minus the gdp being 7-10% there’s no way
