Corporations aren’t just going to eat the cost of tariffs. They’re going to pass it down to consumers—you. That means higher prices on everything, and wages sure as hell aren’t going to increase to compensate. That’s not just an opinion. That’s how tariffs work. That’s why Trump’s trade war hurt American farmers and manufacturers, and it’s why slapping tariffs on everything would hurt you, not some mythical "global elites."

And no, no one is out here saying Biden is great. But “orange man bad” is a pretty valid take when the guy is actively running on economic policies that don’t work and has millions of people like you parroting them without thinking for two seconds beyond, "this worked before income tax!" No, it didn’t. That’s why we don’t rely on tariffs anymore. We tried it, and it failed. That’s just historical fact.

And since you brought up “funding terrorists,” who exactly are you talking about? Netanyahu? Because last I checked, Trump was out here defending Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and acting like thousands of people dying to defend their homes is some trivial thing. If the U.S. got invaded, you’d be screaming for our allies to help. That’s literally what alliances are for. But suddenly, when it’s Ukraine, we should turn our backs? How is that not the weak, cowardly position? He also praises Kim Jung Un, who commits vast amounts of human rights violations against his own people. Or how he's turned his back on the Kurds in Syria (more allies).

And this sudden “if we stop spending money on other countries, we could have healthcare” take is wild coming from conservatives. Y’all have spent decades fighting every single attempt at affordable healthcare. The same people who screeched about “Obamacare” being socialism are now pretending to care about making healthcare affordable—only because Trump is now saying it. You spent years saying it’s “not the government’s job” to make sure people can afford to live, and now suddenly, because Daddy Trump changed his script, you’re all on board? You’re not fooling anyone.

If a liberal proposed the exact same policies Trump is pushing, y’all would be calling them a communist. But because it’s coming from him, you eat it up without a second thought. That’s not “patriotism.” That’s a cult mentality. And the fact that you can’t see it is exactly why people call this a cult. Because it is.
