I was just discussing this with a conservative relative. It’s meet in the middle in dead agreement territory.
A lot if the tariffed Chinesium is going to be PC parts. Think of your mouse. I paid $10 for my ergonomic mouse with extra buttons. I had to replace it last year and it was $15. The guesstimates have prices doubled. Who wants to pay $30 for an $10 mouse? Those increases add up in trying to keep your entertainment source alive. My point is people already can’t buy groceries.
They’re working very hard to shut down streaming sites like fmovies. Everything has subscription fee now, even single news articles. Again, people can’t afford to buy groceries.
The last time people were bored with nothing left to do we had riots. In the name of a cause that deserved justice, yes, but the not having anything else to do part contributed a lot to the number of people outside, and stealing diapers.
They’re creating an environment that will prime people for pushing back by simply taking away free and cheap entertainment.
Pushing further on the rest (groceries, healthcare, workers rights) is just an ignition switch. We all feel it. That’s the sense of impending doom thats been lurking all year.
Healthcare upheaval would be a societal nuke at this point.
And yet that’s where Trump wants to go. And that’s where my conservative relative and I split. Oh no, T is going to solve the problems. Seriously. That was said.
So politically, we agree an ignition point is approaching. We don’t agree on whether Trump will ignite it or diffuse it.

Interesting times suck.
They’re are only two things I can guarantee Trump desires: self-preservation, and his daughter.
He wanted the presidency to avoid prison and it worked. I assume he’ll use the military to protect himself and his interests above anything else.
After that? I don’t really think he cares.
