This is almost certainly what's happening. The proposed tariffs will be very hard on American businesses and devastating for the consumer. It's quite literally a fairly severe tax on domestic companies and the American people. But, honestly, we could do with a less consumerism in this country. Unfortunately, it's likely to cause a tough economic downturn that will hurt poor people the most.

that will hurt poor people the most.

As is tradition.

Be hilarious if Trump simultaneously collapses the economy and starts a green movement built around an inherent need for a second hand economy.

Stranger things have happened. Like him getting elected, for instance.

And 20 million voters disappearing into thin air...

Well, they didn't disappear into thin air. 12 million less people voted for Harris, so basically the democrats lost the election more than Trump won it. Trump got basically the same number of votes as he did against Biden.

Yes that's what I meant though. Their votes disappeared. Our electronic voting machines have known first hand vulnerabilities.

I think they figured it out finally. They've been trying to gain access this entire time, and some Republican traitors are being prosecuted for it as we speak. Or were. I guess laws don't matter anymore since America is finished.

Lol. K. You don't think it might be that votes aren't finished being counted, Harris was uninspiring, and people are sexist? No! It must be a vast conspiracy! Good to know being a paranoid idiot isn't exclusively a right-wing thing.
