"Farmers have been hit so hard by the tariffs that Trump was forced to give them a $12B bailout... only necessary because #China retaliated against the #tariffs by refusing to buy #American agricultural products. #Trump had to give #farmers a $20B bailout for the same reason during his 1st term. This is classic #Trumponomics: create a problem, announce a partial fix that leaves everyone **worse** off than where they started, & declare victory."

"During the 2024 election, #Americans didn’t imagine that #Trump would actually try to drag the country back to early 20th century protectionism, but they should have... Instead of the manufacturing renaissance #Americans were promised, the #economy is shedding manufacturing #jobs. Instead of a golden age Americans are getting farm bailouts... Instead of falling prices, #inflation has remained stubborn"

"It turns out that #Americans don’t like seeing #immigrants abused & insulted, nor do they like the #authoritarian #immigration crackdowns in their communities...

The audience for grotesque displays of #bigotry like this is shrinking. #Trump is discovering that performative #cruelty has a shelf life in the #UnitedStates—it isn’t just repulsive, it’s curdling...

👉 he’s losing support at a rapid pace."👈

@ZhiZhu really? What exactly did they expect when the voted for these fascists? Sad enough #MAGAts keep voting for the #GOP ... Even when their own loved-ones are affected, even when they suffer financially, even when they lose their healthcare, they keep voting for right-wing fuckwits, who promise to protect them from transgender people.
Is it because they want others to suffer more than they do? Is it because they simply don't want to confess to themselves that they made a catastrophic mistake? Is it because they don't want to change their mind regardless of whatever evidence is in front of them?
Whatever it is, #TheAmericanVotersDidThis and it's going to take all of us and more than simply casting another vote in 4 years to rid us of this regime, I am afraid.
The USA will certainly never be the same once this billionaire and #OilAndGasMafia driven fascist regime is over. Let's hope Americans and the world will learn something from this disaster.
