it’s like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won’t do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What’s the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That’s unfriendly to say the least.

    I said, “Biden lost because of a wave of global inflation, and people aren’t economic experts so they attributed it to him,” and your response was, “No shit they’re not experts, that’s why they attributed it to him.” Don’t tell me things that I just told you.

      You didn’t say that voters were misled into blaming him for inflation, that’s the difference between our statements, they’re not the same. You’re welcome.

        Yes, because they weren’t, because they didn’t have to be. You’re just randomly interjecting an unnecessary theory to explain why people were upset by things getting more expensive. People naturally get upset when things get expensive because, newsflash, people don’t like paying more money for things.

        But that’s beside the point. Yes, your statement included another point, but it still contained the part telling me the part I had just told you. Don’t do that shit, it’s very annoying.

          People can be upset and informed. If they didn’t incorrectly blame Biden for inflation they might not be dumb enough to vote for the corrupt criminal rapist who tried to steal an election. And given that he won by a razor thin margin, a small difference in misled morons could’ve reversed the result.

            Wait, are we talking about a handful of people being swayed by Russian propaganda, or broad segments of the population?

              Feel free to estimate how many are swayed by Russian propaganda. It’s been swaying results since 2016 and embedding itself further into minds since then. That seems like a lot of people over time if you ask me, definitely much more than a “handful” lmao

                  yes, I’m sure the orangutan rapist criminal coup attempter won a second election just because of inflation and only “half a percent” being swayed by propaganda lmao. Might be too naive

                    Yes, because being an “oragutan rapist criminal coup attempter” doesn’t actual affect the average person’s life in any tangible way. Inflation does. Not hard to understand why he won, as they say, “It’s the economy, stupid.”
