A coworker of mine was dangerously close to connecting some of the dots yesterday.
He started complaining about how things are getting more expensive, and how the company we work for has started buying things from overseas because even with tariffs it’s cheaper than buying American made, and then came the stunning part.
He said “They say they have to raise prices because of terrorists or some shit, but how do WE know if that’s true? How do we know there ARE any terrorists and it’s not just all bullshit made up by politicians and the news to justify raising prices so they can get rich.”
And then he took a hard right turn and added that “all those goddamn r****d democrats in congress” are to blame.
But how? Trump has explicitly stated how ‘good’ the tariffs are. He has wholeheartedly expressed his commitment to the tariffs.
How the fuck does this spin back around to ‘it’s the dems fault’??? Like, god damn — I’m sorry to insult your coworker but the only word I can think to describe them is the word they used to describe dems.

So close.

I would have just said “Republican Congress voted for the tariffs.” And watched with popcorn.
