Expect more of this. Unfortunately, ears will be plugged and eyes will be covered as people just go "lalalalala"

How are Republican voters reconciling any of this? Or has Faux News spun this as something Obama's responsible for?
I've been off Reddit for a while but I'd be lying if I didn't just go look at /r/conservative to see.
"I pray Trump knows what he is doing, because if this doesn't work and just results in higher prices and nothing the average person can identify as a positive, then people will sour on Trump."
"Im really worried this is going to bite us hard causing prices to skyrocket."
"I’m in the construction industry and would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous for this rollercoaster."
In general, some longer comments are basically saying tariffs will work to bring home manufacturing. The problem with this is we would need manufacturing of most of these things IN PLACE NOW to be ready to do that. We're not since it's a surprise to both U.S. citizens and Canada.
Many other posts are being deleted -- most I've ever seen, but again it's been a while since I've looked at Reddit.
Thst must be the polite minority. Most times I dare to look into thedonald2.0 it's just stuff talking about annexing canada and Bombing europe
Seriously, everyone needs to go check out FoxNews.com because it is insane that anyone could rely on them for their news. I checked out this morning and had to scroll WAY DOWN to find any mention of tariffs, and even then, it was praising trump for keeping a campaign promise.
There's gotta be a way to make it stop
Guillotines
Costco should start carrying them
I've heard of a treatment. The guy who killed Hitler did it. It's a high speed lead treatment. Very effective
They won't listen to that. At this point they are pro-Hitler.
They should employ the method Hitler used in the end! It was super effective!
I just wish fascists would follow their leader in that regard.
Problem is, we can't just skip to that part of the story without being accused of being just like the J6 crowd. I hate what is happening, and don't want to say there's nothing that can be done, but unfortunately there's a bunch of people who aren't gonna wake up and get it until it hurts them personally.
For now, probably the best thing we can do is stand up for those in their crosshairs and support them however we can, while we wait for a bunch of the anti-woke crowd to wake up to the fact that they voted for the leopard that's eating their face. Now, there should definitely be a limit on how long we wait for them to wake up, but at the speed this leopard is going? I doubt anyone will be unscathed by Spring.
They can't even do a coup without fucking half of it up.
How have they fucked up? No one has stopped them
What they mean are that it's a clusterfuck, giant Americans sit on sofas crying. You can fuck up while still achieving dominance
It's a fuck up from your perspective, from theirs it's a set back
Because they don't have to worry about fuck ups. Americans are gonna do jack shit about it. Otherwise something would have already been done.
Sadly Ayn Rand was right when she said...
"The question isn't how can I do such things, but who is going to stop me?"
Suda 51 was right, there really are No More Heroes.
Not true. The Democrats will form a committee to discuss language to be placed in a letter to the administration, they may even call a news conference to state that they are disappointed in what is happening and if it continues they may have to do more drastic measures like actually sending the letter that the committee put together.
At this point I'll be geniunely surprised to learn that Democrats with survival instincts exist.

Wait, it gets better! The Democrats are going to form a committee to discuss language for the letter, which is sure to be a 500-page document that will get printed out on recycled paper and ceremoniously burned in a symbolic gesture of disappointment. And after weeks of debate, they'll finally agree on a single sentence that reads, 'We are disappointed in the administration's lack of action.' Wow, that'll definitely send shockwaves through Washington!
But wait, there's more! They'll then call an emergency press conference to declare their outrage, where they'll all stand in front of a teleprompter and read from their carefully crafted statement. And to really drive the point home, they might even release a 3-minute video montage of footage from the committee meeting, set to a dramatic score, just to make sure everyone knows how "serious" they are.
And if that's not enough, they'll then proceed to actually send the letter – but only after making it clear that they're only doing so because they have to, and not because they actually expect anything to change. And when the administration inevitably ignores them or responds with a half-hearted gesture of tokenism, they'll be like, 'See, we told you so! We sent our letter and... oh wait, nothing happened.' It's going to be hilarious!
We need to return to the days when dueling on the senate floor was acceptable.
That's the frightening part .... either they are idiots that are completely messing everything up including their own plans ... or they are following a well orchestrated plan of disruption and chaos to gain control of everything and everyone
Either way, they are undoing a lot of things that will take years or decades to bring back

They're firing Inspector Generals? Damn, thats like, expediting the destruction of the federal government.
Edit: for those who don't know, IGs are independent officials within fed and state agencies that conduct investigations, audits or inspections to employees or agencies.
He illegally fired 17 of them, including one investigating Neuralink, (one of Musk's companies).
He's up to over 30 now.
including one investigating Neuralink
And that's not a coincidence.
How are people just so unaware of what's happening in their own government?
Like you're on a site like this, and you know what Inspector Generals do, but you're not aware that he fired over a dozen of them days into his term? How??
There's a whole lot of, "I don't care about or pay attention to politics because nothing really changes for me" morons about to have a rude awakening.
How? Felonious 47 is going after the news media making sure nothing critical gets published. Due to the cowardice of our mainstream media, we no longer have a free press.
How? Are you for real?
Our investigative media has been dead or bought out for a long time, and despite project 2025 being published, it's all happening really quickly. I have a difficult time believing this isn't the downfall of America. And we almost reached 250.
But wait! Your good buddy Donnie signed an Executive Order to ensure that we planned a really good birthday party for America's 250th!
Sorry, I have been reading each and every Executive Order to better understand where we are and where we are going.
At this point I'm hoping America is annexed by Canada or something. It's too dangerous to leave this country to its own devices, we are begging for invaders to come liberate us.
The upside is that often times throughout history massive actions like what is happening right now are restricted to the start or end of empires. Turns out fucking with how a state functions is a great way for it to collapse, the death of empires is often times slow until its not.

And true to form, our boy Klip exposed the malignant incompetence while taking the opportunity to advertise his substack 😄
The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.
And y’all let him have access to government.
The world will burn from climate and war because of American stupidity.
Trump won by 1.5% of the vote. And that amount was basically the number of people the Republicans managed to disenfranchise during this election.
WE did nothing. The vast majority of Americans want this madness to end but no one with any sort of power to do anything is standing up to the orange bully.
For all the guns we own, this country has very few Luigis who understand this is a class war. So what else are the people who didn’t vote for the asshole in the oval supposed to do about it?
