    Aren’t the tariffs meant to be in place to stimulate the internal economy? These orders are starting to look a lot like high treason.

        That’s definitely where my head is going. I cannot for the life of me think of a reasonable alternative.

          He is a dumb fuck who’s dense enough to have an event horizon. Add the narcissism, possible dementia, and a general lack of anything remotely human.

    I’m hopeful this will all lead to America’s farmers breaking from the republican party.

    I fear american farmers will go bankrupt and all their land will be bought by corporations.

      We’re already past that. Something like 6 companies own the vast majority of US agriculture. And they’re not run by farmers but hedgies and the like, who have been setting up illegal monopolies while the feds do nothing about it on account of extreme bribery.

      Farmers sure do love voting Conservative, despite the fact that it negatively impacts them. The mistake is bringing logic into a discussion like this.

      That’s already kinda the case that’s been happening in slow motion. Various policies over the last several decades have driven family farmers out of business to be replaced with bigger and bigger companies.
