The fact that so many are believing this anecdote to be real is a good reason why the Dems lost.
Why bother with reality and learning what actual people are experiencing in their actual lives when you can just share made up stories and extreme fringe cases that confirm your world view?
Media literacy is fucking dead.
I work in manufacturing, there's no way a small manufacturing company is going to be able to put up the capital to pre-buy and entire year's worth of product, and then find a place to store it, especially when there have been no details at all released on any potential tariffs.
Everyone needs to realize that trump was saying anything he could possibly say in order to get elected and stay out of jail. He made promises to people so they'd help him. But it is trump, he isn't a man of integrity. He's going to do whatever directly benefits him. He doesn't have to worry about being elected again. Just because he said he's going to do something, doesn't mean he's actually going to do it now that he's gotten what he wants.
