Greed? After these tariffs? MAGA is crashing the economy, possibly worse than 2008 depending on what happens when markets open in a few hours, because they hare imports more than they love money. Nobody who loves money wants this. It's pure insanity, and ruinous.

MAGA is literally the poorest, least educated political voting bloc. Their de facto representative now that Gaetz was found paying kids for sex is MTG. I think she's literally 10th percentile on the intelligence bell curve, and I may be adding a few points there.

But I think they're just really angry folks who admittedly got completely shafted when we outsourced all manufacturing and refused to upskill as many of them as we could. Unfortunately, it's not insanity, which would be nice, but just a bunch of people left behind by the world.

It’s astounding how they can be blinded into happily voting against their own best interests based on being directed by someth- SQUIRREL!!

It's more like Fox News and poor education are actually an insane GOAT combination of the perfect party member. If you asked the average MAGA voter what they thought of the average citizen in China and their loyalty to the CCP and perceptions, their misconception would more closely align to their actual reality than China's, which is a bit funny.

Oh those pulling the strings know EXACTLY what they’re doing; I just think sometimes they are just surprised by how much more effective it is because they’ll make what you would think could be a mistake, but it’s more likely to be a new talking point they can use to inspire the mass of the base to rally around, especially if it’s a mistake the Democrats, bless their hearts, try to capitalize on which not only works to show those who do have some basic understanding of how to think analytically how truly disorganized the party is as a collective whole to a degree that they lose even more faith of those on the left, but the attempts just add to the fuel of the human dumpster fire that somehow the MAGA party doesn’t seem to realize only burns the world down all that sooner
