“Liberation Day” Tariffs Explained
The April 2 announcement contained two distinct tariff actions.
First, a universal 10 percent tariff will apply to virtually all U.S. imports starting April 5.
Second, beginning April 9, the administration will impose country-specific “reciprocal” tariffs—targeted at 57 named countries, with rates reaching as high as 50 percent. These nations were identified as chronic trade offenders, based on their bilateral trade surpluses with the United States, perceived tariff asymmetries, and other barriers to U.S. exports.
As you said, I think they'll just be in denial at best and blame the situation on trans people and immigrants. That Rightist mom that had her unvaccinated child die of measles just to go on news to say that the disease wasn't that bad and she would still not vaccinate her dead child if she had a second chance was really brutal.
They're just so deeply in denial. I don't know what will get nearly half of the un(der)educated, cultified population to see reality. I just expect them to become worse fascists, perhaps Trump does too.
she views her children as property and that kid's death was just a short-term hit to her portfolio
