Donald Trump has said that Americans may feel economic “pain” from his tariffs on key trading partners.
“Will there be some pain? Yes, maybe (and maybe not!)” Trump wrote on Sunday in all capital letters on his Truth social media platform, a day after signing off on tariffs on Mexico, Canada and China.
“But we will Make America Great Again, and it will all be worth the price that must be paid,” he added.
its definitely not as black and white as that. many of these viewers do not actually know they have a choice.
Fuck em. I hate to quote pigs, but at some point, ignorance of consequences should not save you from them. If you need to learn the hard way and will bring everyone else down to do so, I hope it’s fucking sharp.
People don’t know they can switch channels on their TV?
you honestly think that 100% of the people watching fox news regularly make the conscious decision to continue (or not) watching fox news?!
dude are you 12 and completely ignorant of the complex realities of human emotional, knowledge states, and information proxy selection?
most of these people did not logic themselves into being brainwashed, they certainly arent going to logic themselves out of it. many are just passively consuming whatever is on at the local bar or laundromat or radio. your dismissal of millions of people into such a small bucket belies your objectively ignorant point of view.
I mean sure, what you said is true, but you can’t deny that when given a choice they consistently choose comfort over doing the right thing. It’s the same reason people will say “I really should be vegan” and keep eating meat. While that’s the normal human thing to do, I can still call them out for doing the wrong thing because it’s easy. They also had many many opportunities to turn away from the propaganda when it started to become more insane, but they remained because it was comforting and change would be too difficult.
It is wilful ignorance these people are displaying and no amount of excuses will change that.
thanks for proving my point.
