    Not going to lie, it’s going to be funny to see trump voter’s forced smiles when a gallon of milk is $20. At least everyone else can be congruent with their disdain and suffering.

    They’re so tribal that they have to eat their chosen strongman’s shit with a smile.

    Maybe the silver lining in all this will be an aggressive mass rejection of crony market capitalism, but probably not.

    After all… look over there! That hungry person on the street corner begging for food that has a different skin complexion than you, they’re the one that made your milk so expensive, git em!

      The Tribe That Rubs Shit In Their Hair ™ is going to have a helluva time with their cognitive dissonance, let me tell you.

      They’ll never blame Trump for that. And Trump will blame the previous administration. That’s how it works in this country. Moronic political system.

        They’ll never outwardly blame Trump for that. Hence the strained smiles. When they crow about accountability and personal responsibility, that’s just projection, they know at some level having none is what makes them modern Republicans.

        Republicans can do and have unleashed knowing pain on themselves solely because their enemies would suffer too as the point. They believe that’s all government is for, a way to hurt people, a weapon.

        A Republican has no problem walking around in discomfort with shit in their pants, so long as the innumerable people they hate have to smell it. The cruelty is the point. The play pretend that their guy didn’t cause the same pain to them as they revel in your pain for the exact same problem is just fanning their shitty ass towards you.
