You don't just start a trade war with our biggest trading partners promising to go "back to normal" if they comply with vague demands.
Supply chains are reworked. Old suppliers fired. Jobs are lost. Prices rise. Retaliatory tariffs are implemented.
This is a child's approach to trade relations.

The most comically stupid assumption most Americans hold is that they've been at rock bottom and that radical changes will only lift them up.
No sir. Your last few decades were almost the human ceiling in terms of good luck. You'll be moving in a surprise direction 👇 when a shake-up happens. Sorry!

A compulsive liar shows up to the Libertarian Party convention and promises to add a libertarian to his cabinet.
He then doesn't.
Turns out, the compulsive liar lied. 🤯

Oh, so you did vote, but you lied in front of Hasan's audience for leftist credit then? Or you didn't vote, and you lied to Sam Seder? Which one is it?

Remember, the whole point of activism is to translate, ultimately, into policy. And policy is determined by lawmakers, who depend on your vote to get elected.
Nothing else matters if you don't participate in the system.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

![The image is a tweet from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) that reads:
“This is good, actually. She barely shows up and doesn’t do the reading.
To borrow a phrase I saw elsewhere, it’s like giving someone an unplugged controller.”
Below her tweet is a quote tweet of CNBC (@CNBC), which states:
“Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tapped to work with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy as new DOGE subcommittee chair [link].”

As far as I can tell, there are still far too many people defending those in power versus those defending the powerless. It's pathetic.

We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”
