Uhhh, no.
"Another farmer called tariffs the "ice cream on the cake of a perfect storm." They continued, “In the short term, they have no choice but to mail us a check"

Oh, I'm pretty sure they have other choices on the table, ones that will favor the already wealthy. Shame about that steady diet of propaganda and growing up surrounded by the poorly educated.

Irish woman with green card faces US deportation over $25 bad cheque

Donna Hughes-Brown, who has lived in US since 1977 and wrote cheque a decade ago, being held in isolation by Ice

But this bit suggests maybe it does

Her husband, Jim Brown, a US citizen and military veteran, told reporters his wife was not a criminal and that he “100%” regretted voting for Donald Trump as president.

Brown, who served in the navy and marines for decades, said he had supported Trump’s promise to deport “criminal illegal immigrants” but that federal authorities were targeting other people to reach quotas.

“You look at the news, and they’re not telling the truth about what’s actually happening to a lot of legal immigrants. What’s bad is that Trump is so demeaning to people, and he’s so condescending and so retaliatory that people are afraid to say anything.”

With regard to 'fear of saying anything' and seeing that as an issue, one might think a question as to why people experience such fear would be relevant? I mean, if we just stop there and accept it as a truism when in fact the phenomenon might have a motivated origin wouldn't you want to dig deeper and know what the cause might be? Maybe the same fear of saying anything also applies to questioning such things? What do you think of that line of reasoning? You have shown me signs in the past that have led to my regarding you as far more willing to think tangentially than most. Should we poo poo Western medicine because a doctor somewhere cut off the wrong leg?

Here's another FAFO.

People Have Little Sympathy For A MAGA Voter Who Says They're "Living On Credit Cards" And "Need Help" Amid Tariffs

Another day, another Trump supporter who's just now realizing what their vote meant.

"
...his brother was less than sympathetic. In fact, he actually seemed to support the reductions for children as long as they didn't affect his own kids.

But for those who don't know, Iowa's Medicaid and children’s health insurance program is largely known by its nickname: Healthy and Well-Kids in Iowa or...hawk-i. So, yes. This guy's brother did, in fact, unknowingly vote against his own children's access to healthcare.

And someone mentioned that these red state assholes lost their collective minds when Biden forgave some student loans.

"Socialism money is for me, not thee"

You really want to see the fruit of his love? euoooooooooo.

Unfortunately they probably disregarded any media or people who warned them of these entirely predictable consequences as "woke bullshit".

But there's an old quote, often misattributed to Mark Twain: "The man who won't read has no functional advantage over the man who can't read." This is a victory for the billionaire class and their well-funded culture war, it will let them scoop up assets on the cheap, and Tim Wood will still blame the Demonrats for letting it get this bad in the first place. You know, just like Greenman.
