In all seriousness, I'd love to see a reporter try to get comments from all of these people about their initial impulse to declare a literal war on half of their fellow citizens and to see if any of them regret it, apologized for it or learned anything at all from it.
like this is the most irresponsible level of hysteria i’ve ever seen. most of these people are either paid by the republican party, or are high level advisors and allies. this is insane

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ripped new U.S. tariffs on goods imported from his country as “a dumb thing to do,” reiterating his country's plan to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods.

If you are not white, you are fucked. Maybe not today or tomorrow but fucked as sure as sin and rain. There is no escape. Not anywhere and I don’t mean in strictly in America, I mean everywhere. My sorrow for you is crushing.

30% of Americans are pretty consistently absolute shit. I support them having the same substantive and procedural rights as anyone else, I defend their right to talk shit, but it can’t be concealed that they are, in fact, absolute shit.
This doesn’t surprise me but it’s still upsetting.
