Is it too late to change my mind?
Whoops…
I’ve been pretty quiet since the election but I have a lot on my mind. I’m just going to put this quick and dirty post out here:
Google Trending searches since the election:
What is a tariff?
Can I change my vote?
It’s funny these searches are up over 200%+ SINCE the election a week ago. Well, not really amusing but I’m always a sucker for schadenfreude. What follows below is for these people that blindly went into possibly the last election we ever have in this country. I know it sounds over the top but really, if this fucking dolt takes office #wearefucked. With that said, and with absolutely no hint of love, unity, compassion, or respect, please choke on a bag of dicks as you read this you fucking imbeciles.
Great job to those of you who didn’t have time and “common sense” to “do your own research” and “use critical thinking skills” to make an “informed opinion” before you voted this election. It’s not like this decision means anything to the survival of our country. I’m not even saying Democracy or Republic because this isn’t about parroting some bullshit concepts you don’t even believe in.
The quoted phrases and clauses above always crack me up when I view some Moronic Asshole(s) Going Apeshit (MAGA) drop them in their replies to much more knowledgeable people on a variety of topics as if they have battled academia and vanquished the researchers, data scientists, and other experts who you know… people who actually do the fucking work on a daily. These MAGA will pontificate and espouse their noble notions built on two or three google searches, some batshit crazy Fox “News” report, three dodgy memes from Tik-Tok, and the really official sounding opinion piece written by one of the many Russian bot farms hosted on Elon’s propaganda palace, x.com, that your BFF sent you in conspiratorial text message that says, “See, I told you Michelle Obama is really a dude!”
Every time I see those little pellets of pseudo-ego boosting bullshit frantically typed in, I KNOW that you truly are a mind of unreasoning shit (sorry, Princess Bride fans) and that your word is bond. You cannot be bested, for you see all and know all!
But, I digress… It’s fucking laughable that multiple economists said his policies are horrible AND WILL CRATER OUR ECONOMY AND THE DOLLAR. But, you idiots shouted the economy is bad, eggs ($2.69 a dozen) and gas ($2.90 a gallon) are expensive!!!! Rents are too damn high! (Because property management/owner companies have been buying up almost ALL inventory across the country and JACKING THE FUCKING PRICES UP). Because this is America, “fuck you, pay me!”
I get it and I feel it too, prices ARE high but instead of demanding the companies who sell these items maybe do something like lowering them to say… pre-pandemic levels, it was easier to blame Biden/Harris. Then in unison, they said, “Great, we hear you, Americans! We’ll put together legislation for price controls in place”. BUT LO! sayeth the great mass of misinformed mouth breathers as they cried out that’s not fair to the poor corporations! Some of you savvier savants said NO! That’s the Free Market at work! Plus, that’ll hurt my portfolio, don’t do that!
Meanwhile, Shitler and his merry band of fungi fellators are ready to cut oversight agencies, loosen any and all regulations, and the cherry on top for the monopolies … sorry, companies, LOWER THEIR FUCKING CORPORATE TAXES through extending and expanding his awful 2017 “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”. Google THAT fucking gift to the uber-wealthy. Oh yeah, he wants to do this while decreasing the migrant farm labor pool, massively slashing the federal civil service ranks, and generally fucking things up with his tariffs. What, exactly, do you think is going to happen then, friends? Labor shortage, high demand, low availability, HIGH PRICES… oh ya, plus the additional cost(s) you’ll have to pony up because of the motherfucking tariffs. You, yes you, that cost of the imported good is passed right on to you and shoved all the way up your ass. But hey, you might like that sort of thing, no judgement here.
Note to self: buy tp.
And all the while, we know that we’ve been battling shrinkflation already with the constant “new” packaging of products. You think you’re paying a lot now for a little… congratulations, this months chocolate ration has increased from 30 grams to 20 grams!
Is this all an easy task for any one person to fix up? No fucking way. It takes a lot of work across multiple agencies and lots of thought, brainstorming sessions, negotiations, etc. all the type of collaborative actions that Don-old the Orange is incapable of and worse yet, doesn’t even want to engage in because bankrupting six companies pales in comparison to fully raw-dogging an entire country. But don’t worry, I said fix, not fuck. You voted for him, don’t cry when it gets worse. Or, please do, salty tears are the best.
