        That will be the tack the “liberal media” will most likely take. Also, Tucker made the statement that he will be forced to embrace fascism, because of the Democrats being so “extreme” or some such shit.

        What have Democrats been “extreme” on, I’d like to know. I mean actual politicians.

    My 401k lost value significantly the week before the election, but has rebounded now. The slime balls who dominate the stock market must have been afraid that Harris would win. This country is disgusting.

      It’s impressive we give so much control of our financial instruments to idiots who obviously don’t fully grasp how tariffs and protectionism work.

        Yeah. I wish I had a choice. I always thought the stock market was a fucked up idea. Rich people gambling with other people’s money. Like you said, awesome we structured our whole system around the idea.

      Yeah, I laughed at the “market fundamentals” when I saw that. Same for seeing how crypto reacted. JFC.

      I don’t disagree, but a lot of that is uncertainty being resolved (for now). Most economists liked Harris.

          They know they’ll win anyway. What’s going to be interesting is when they realize being a multi millionare doesn’t qualify them as rich enough for that to be true for the level of shit hitting the fan that’s coming up.

      No, they threw in more money on the bet that everyone else would do the same. Nothing to do with liking either candidate.

        I don’t understand. How would people investing more cause my value to drop? I’m admittedly very ignorant on the topic, so don’t take this question the wrong way.

          My guess: The pre-election drop was probably the usual investor jitters before a major event. The rebound was from people betting that other people would throw in money after a Trump win. Does that make sense?

    MAGA-flation. Republican -flation. Trump is a lame duck, but MAGA will survive. Messaging that ties everything that Trump fucksup to him alone gives Republicans in 2 or 4 years room to duck the consequences (I didn’t do it, Trump did it, I don’t agree with everything he did, blah blah blah). We need to make sure to tie everything Trump does to the whole Republican party now, so they all pay the price for letting Trump take over their party and fuck the economy and everything else.

    The fight for the midterms starts today. Remember that.

      One thing your right. The republican party had the power to get off the trump and maga train. The target of maga is mostly uneducated people but all republican politicians are educated enough to understand what’s really going on , and they went aboard the train and never used the brakes to stop it. Now they fucked the country and yeah they should pay.

      Ps I’m not us citizen but I wish you all good luck, republicans included. I also wish myself good luck as trump messes with the world and there’s a serious war

    What do you mean?

    Blanket tariffs on all foreign imports surely won’t raise prices on items not produced locally, thereby allowing retailers to raise prices on all items across the board.

    You’d have to be crazy to believe something like that.
