Zippygutterslug@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Trump temporarily drops tariffs to 10% for most countries, hits China harder with 125%13·1 day agoHe doesn’t see it as flinching, he sees it as taking a big swing at China. It’s like when you’ve got all your marks lined up against the wall you’re shouting at all of them to give you their wallets, then one of them talks back. When you pistolwhip that guy, you can give him all your attention cause all the others are just going to watch. All Trump really knows is the art of the stick-up. I don’t see this playing out the way he thinks it will, though.

Zippygutterslug@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•'We're all dead': GOP senator reacts to Trump tariffs51·7 days agoIt must be nice to be dead and still able to live comfortably. Are they really worried about re-election? Who are their constituency going to vote for, a Democrat?
I was there for the “Republican Autopsy.” It wasn’t a death throe of the party at all. They reconfigured themselves in to a memetic virus of toxic masculinity and populism, built on a foundation of conspiracy-oriented magical thinkers and their fear of everything different from themselves. Republican voters don’t give a damn about reality, they vote like they do so they can live in and perpetuate a mad fantasy. They will never stop, it’s all they have.
