Um, Trump also reported how he was going to start rounding up the undesirables, and something tells me this informed more Trump voters than egg prices.

TBF, the Democratic Party is the neoliberal status quo party, and a lot of people aren't having that. And the only alternative is King Heron / the far right party who starts genocide.

Also TBF, the far right has a trillion-dollar propaganda machine working over time to control people's minds, so we can expect a lot of people to vote for candidates who would campaign on letting them starve / hunting them down for execution / giving the whole US general fund to billionaires.

We're going to need a new system entirely to fix both of these problems. It's going to be messy.

But Trump's corrupt family is richer....so fair trade.

I mean anyone who took the incoherent ramblings of Trump as anything of value at this point brought it on themselves.

The saddest thing is, a lot of those who voted for Trump did think his incoherent ramblings were harmless. How many people went shocked Pikachu face when they learned Trump actually put in tariffs? Or that heard his "dictator for a day" comments and brushed it off?

Somehow, a lot of people 1) heard Trump's ramblings, 2) assumed he was lying, and 3) they still voted for him, even while believing he was full of shit.

I know it's probably not you. But I don't understand how people can even step over 2. Who wants a president that lies more often than speaks the truth? Even if you think the lies are harmless, how would you ever trust such president? The reasoning doesn't add up, because I don't think reasoning was involved. Voting for far right is usually an emotional choice, not a logical one.

[โ€“] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

You're absolutely right. How anyone can accept he's a liar and still believe him is baffling to me, as well.

I'm just glad I picked this username.

And everyone else.

Don't worry, WW3 has been brewing for a while now. And so has a civil war in the U.S.

Hes just trying to speedrun the ending. So we can pick up the pieces and get back to normal. Honestly, its a big brain move by a very stable genius if you ask me.

All he wants is for the U.S. to be great again.

[โ€“] scarabic@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I wish we could just assume you are being sarcastic but Acellerationism is a philosophy some with actual power hold quite seriously.

[โ€“] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I know, and they're insane. They're up there with creationists who think the rapture is going to happen, and thats what climate change is, so they don't want to do anything about it.

Too bad the Lord doesn't just rapture them really quickly.

[โ€“] Kolanaki@pawb.social 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

WW3 with the 2nd Civil War DLC at the same time.

Also, I don't know about you, but I hate when they delay the trilogy finale for 80 years, leaking teasers and empty spin-offs like the Vietnam war and Russo-Ukranian war.

Sad Korean/Cold/Afghanistan/Iraq War noises.

Yeah, but Joe Biden had a raspy voice and Kamala laughed weird, so it could have been worse.

[โ€“] theneverfox@pawb.social 31 points 22 hours ago

In fairness, the real problem is that they maintained that everything is fine, actually the economy is fine from my numbers, now everyone remember not to vote for the insurrectionist felon we did nothing about for 4 years

They could not be more half assed and milquetoast. They were so busy trying not to make any enemies that they totally failed to meet the moment

Still waiting for the $5000 promised to me in February so I can invest it all in crypto and be a billionaire by the summer, any day nowโ€ฆ

[โ€“] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 8 points 20 hours ago

If we can up inflation enough....

[โ€“] HakunaHafada@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

MAHA?

Make America Heterosexual Again?

Hateful?

Hedonistic?

Hupercalifragilisticexpialidocious?

[โ€“] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 21 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I think it's Make America Healthy Again. I seem to remember brain worm talking about that when he joined up.

[โ€“] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Actually nerd noises it's,

Make America "healthyโ„ขยฎยฉ" again

Healthy makes sense, thanks!

[โ€“] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

To be fair, they are actually banning dyes in food. That only took decades.

[โ€“] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 1 points 5 hours ago

I did notice that. So many announcements about companies phasing them out.

Would this be the MAGA come to Jesus moment we have all been waiting for?

[โ€“] Drdoom2027@kbin.earth 18 points 1 day ago

Maybe, some people still think Donnie is playing 4d chess. ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] brown567@sh.itjust.works 8 points 21 hours ago

MAGA and Jesus are not on speaking terms.

[โ€“] scarabic@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago

Pfff I stopped waiting. We have already seen that they will ignore logic and the evidence of their own eyes to imagine that they are winning even as the guillotine begins to slice through their neck.

Donโ€™t forget Civil War II

[โ€“] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Actually of all of those promises I believe inflation is holding steady and pretty low around 2.6% through Trump's term so far. But it's a trend that's been going since July 2024, so pretty much just a continuation of the prior state of the economy?

Either way its surprising given all the fluctuations and instability of the markets with Trump's tarrif threats / inceptions / backdowns - I dunno, I'm not a market guy but the market guys in media don't seem to have an explanation.

I'd guess that steady rate too will also fly out the window if the US declares ~~war~~ special military operation on Iran, so give him time I'm sure he'll mess this up too.

[โ€“] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Inflation takes a while. Shocks that affect consumer confidence can actually increase spending temporarily. What's happening in the US right now is that people are spending more in order to get in all their long term purchases (car, tv, phone, computer, kids toys) before some combination of inflation and tariffs push the prices up. But this will only last as long as people's excess of spending money lasts. Then consumer purchasing will, if nothing changes, recede massively.

[โ€“] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 11 points 19 hours ago

The markets are disconnected from reality. There's a crazy amount of wealth at the top and they gotta put it somewhere. So it's basically just a gambling site were rich people bet on what'll happen next in a soap opera. Some of the rich people get to see the script before everyone else does. It's now relatively stable because they've convinced themselves that TACO futures are safe.

The economic conditions are basically the same as in the late 1920s and Trump's tariff policies are the same thing they were doing back then. But don't worry about what happened 1929... TACO TACO TACO BUY BUY BUY!

But I thought the Russian-Ukrainian war was supposed to start ww3 like years ago.

Any war that involves NATO (proxy wars included, ofc) could possibly escalate into WW3 nowadays because regional powers have gained greater power to fight back. Maybe that's why the fears today are a bit more warranted? Idk.
