    And searches for “can I change my vote” and “what is a tariff” have spiked

    Everyone has been warning against Trump (including his own ex staff and lawyers).

    Big thanks to the donkeys though who promoted Trump and tried to pretend Kamala is the same.

    I doubt there is a single economist that believes in Trump

      Get ready because next year they going make protesting illegal, and Trump already signal his willingness to send troops to said protest. I suspect we will have protest and soldiers shooting said protesters. People under estimate how many mega have joined the army.

        If making protesting illegal is enough to get you to stop protesting: You’re not really upset enough to have protested in the first place for anything but taking pictures of it for social media points.

        And it’s not like protesters haven’t been getting shot or beaten up by police even while it’s legal.

        That’s why I would advise against directly confrontation means of protest. Instead look at things like malicious compliance, boycotts, 4B / birthstrike, anticonsumption, and other acts of non-participation. Labor strikes will probably be common, but those can be rather risky.

        Governments know how to deal in violence. Don’t give them a target to aim at.

      Yep. They knew what would happen because we’ve been telling them for months what would happen. Trump himself has been telling them for months what would happen. But they’re too smart. They always seem to know more than those they disagree with.

      And now, because of a single issue that’s happing in a country where most of them couldn’t have located on a map a year ago- we’re now having to deal with the worst possible outcome.

      And here’s the kicker-

      What’s happening at that place that they could locate on a map a year ago that upset them so much will not be happening for too much longer…

      and it won’t be ending in a way they’d have hoped it would.

      But just wait… it’ll be everyone else’s fault.

        The sad part is that everything bad he says is apparently “him joking”. Like the Mafia, he knows exactly what he’s doing as well when it comes to coercion. He doesn’t threaten people, he just says it would be a pity if it happened
