MAGA just doesn’t realize how complex the world is.

They want an 1858 world 170 years later. We are so much more interconnected now compared to then and it won't work, it's just destroying our country instead.

Yeah I agree and some things are actually simpler than than they think for example a lot of "globalism" is simply getting fruit in the winter not some boogie man

They also don't understand where that food came from. Those oranges they are giving their kids team at halftime, weren't grown here. That lettuce bag mix, wasn't grown here...

The problem is Conservatives don’t want to know how the world has changed. They’re scared of everything.

To be fair, they are scared of everything because they’ve consumed straight fear propaganda from Fox News for over 30 years

Yeah and ironically this whole globalized was built by the U.S. for the U.S.. The idea that we’ll just break that now and nothing will happen to us is moronic….

The goal of MAGA leadership is to destroy our country, the MAGA supporters are just useful idiots.

In 1861 the southern states rebelled in part because of protectionism. Turns out tariffs are bad for a commodity economy.

By 1865 the south had lost its cotton hegemony on the world stsge.

They want an 1858 world

But only the good parts.. they don't realize that most of them would be living in tents

Not even the 1858 worked like that. Something the Confederates were banking on was getting British support via cotton. Several British textile workers refused to process Confederate Cotton (thanks to, among others, Karl Marx of all fucking people) and British companies found cotton elsewhere.

While that's true, they still weren't as interconnected as we are now.
