Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.
FTFU.
No the non-voters are just as responsible for this mess.
And some of the Democratic voters might actually approve of them waving little round signs around while they vote for Republican bills and confirm Republican nominations.
The percentage of Americans who are above sea sponge levels seems to be vanishingly small.
Unfortunately the Trump virus has infected other countries too. I’m really proud of Canada for not following us.
Hey, man, don't insult the sea sponge.
A sea sponge at least absorbs something.
It also doesn't fuck up life for everyone else on the planet, which is a boon.
My sister voted for Trump, only learned after the fact, because of "the inflation" so I asked her how she tough the tariffs would help on that. Her answer? "What do you mean, what are tariffs?" A little too late I send her a youtube video about Tariffs and Trump and she was like wtf. She lives in California, so it's not like she helped him win, but I'm going to keep a tab on her before elections.
