The way the media covers this issue is a matter of life and death.

Reading about tr*mp’s tariffs, I felt a recurring anxiety pop up: how is my business going to survive this admin? No, this isn't my primary fear, so many actual human beings won’t survive/will be harmed by this tyrant. But I’m worried about my business too— I’m an excellent multitasker. #solopreneur

Chaos is the cheapest ingredient in a revolution.
It takes zero effort to destroy things. To sabatoge, throw a temper tantrum, & burn it all down.
Chaos agents are weak & have too vapid of an ideology to build a functional system.
Revolutionaries who come only with chaos, come with nothing.

I keep seeing pundits parsing their words, saying things like “holding his arm at an angle from his body,” unwilling to call Muskrat’s n*zi salute exactly what it was, & I’m reminded of the Maya Angelou quote, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
