      It’s insane to see his approval rating is actually relatively stable. The people supporting this guy are grade A morons.

      In fairness, its only been 30 days since the inauguration, and even though trumps/Musk power grab are batshit insane, many cases illegal, and many unconstitutional, to the average citizen their life hasn’t changed yet. Unless people seek out news and think critically about its implications, they see the lights still come on, there’s still food at the grocery store, gas at the gas pump, and their kids seem the same. They simply aren’t engaged.

      Unfortunately by the time these folks finally notice something’s wrong, many MANY things will be already set in motion with massive future short term and long term consequences.

      Reason why fuck Americans is valid thing to say. He got voted in because most Americans wanted him or were apathetic about him. Americans made this possible. It’s not a small number that is in support.

      They’re not necessarily dumb but they are one track minded. Democrats focus on a wide net approach to governing, voting to help the most people even if it means you personally don’t benefit directly from policies. Takes years for social nets to build up and benefit you/the masses. Republicans won’t vote for you if they don’t directly benefit immediately. That sort of government is short sighted and not concerned with consequences later.

      Okay maybe some are really dumb, I’m in the doctors office waiting right now and I’m overhearing a couple talking about trumps tariffs on chips and they think it’s about potato chips. Like actually.

            I’m still just trying to understand how that would be a bad thing, and tacos are not really even my thing.

            I would just ask that we get Indian, pho, Thai, ramen, etc., food trucks (preferably with veg*n options) on every corner, too! 🤣

                Ramen shops figured that out already. Big styrofoam container for hot broth, lidded and wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, with the noodles and other delicious mix-ins in one of those sectioned styrofoam containers.
