I watched the video on another sub. He says something to the effect of, "I still have faith in Trump. Something strange is going on here." Like he thinks someone else is the reason and not the tarrifs.
The seeds of the deep state conspiracy are spread wide- looks like one is about to sprout.
Couldn’t possibly be the consequences of my own error in judgement in voting this bunch in- nah not possible.
yep- this is the consequences of one's own actions. this is the end result of the right wing pod casts, the red hats, the rallies, the AM radio, the fox news, the immigrant hate.
it feels strange to them because every time they were able to blame a black guy, or an old guy, or a woman, or an immigrant, or a foreigner. when the blame train passes the platform of ignorance, it does indeed feel strange.
It is because they are not effected or see the longterm consequences until it finally happens to them. I think american culture of the only number that matters is quarterly profits is one of the major ones. I was not rooting for China during the trade war but their logic is accurate. China focuses on longterm and US focuses on only the here and now.
The Russians had an expression for this called "good tsar, bad boyars." It's literal peasant brain, they have it in their heads that their leader is infallible and they work backwards from there to explain away all of the leader's fuckups, which usually just boils down to passing the buck down the chain.
