Savvy countries will discover there’s a way to mitigate the harm incurred by Trump’s tariffs—and it’ll boost their own economies while making goods cheaper too.
USA already has widespread poverty, the longest work hours, lacks free healthcare and education, has the lowest life expectancy among economically comparable countries, has a dysfunctional democracy and AFAIK the greatest inequality among rich democracies.
So USA is already a shit-hole country, and among shit hole countries, totalitarian countries are the absolute worst.
If you think people have it bad now, especially below middle class, you just wait and see what it will be like if USA becomes a totalitarian country!
There is no middle class. Either you have to work to pay your bills and you are a worker or people works for you to pay your bills and you are an owner.
That was a decade ago. With trump and Biden at the helm, we hit that point already. Between trump showing that there is no bottom to the depths that conservatives will sink to and *Biden showing that there’s no consequences for openly breaking the law, we are a fucking joke at best.
* Yes, I know congress stopped a lot that. But Biden could have pushed harder against the Republicans or even just not rolled over and go back to business as usual with the weakest of weak sauce attempts at accountability. I mean, Merrick fucking Garland?!?! The failed compromise pick from a decade prior as the head of the investigation?
I hate that the Democrats are the best national response we have to this shit. Local community organization helps, but goddamn if this situation isn’t disheartening.
USA is on a path to become a shit-hole country - FTFY.
Always has been. Just with a lot of facade and flag waving. Facade is getting trashed and you’re starting to see what flags really stand for.

Right but you can’t admit that as truth because it’s not patriotic. Like when pieces of shit dress nice and go to church.
