Once I became aware of this AI slop pattern, I can't stop seeing it everywhere.


You think corporations and the elite .01% support tariffs? It obviously was very unpopular with that class of society. The policy was aimed to help the working class of the country. You can argue that it was a piss poor way of doing so, but it's certainly not something that the elite class advocated for and getting rich off of.,


> The policy was aimed to help the working class of the country

If you really think this, you're a rube.


Sounds like an enormous indictment of the Democrat party. Public views of their policies was so bad that the alternative you outlined was preferred.


Yes, America chose adjudicated rape, tax fraud, conspiracy theories, serial dishonesty, and a track record of being the worst President in living memory over Kamala’s “policies” of being non-white and a woman.

That’s the problem.


yes thats right, the rise of Hitler was probably justified because the Jews were admittedly very annoying...

I mean if I had to choose between being ok with Jews or supporting Hitler, i can understand why people would pick Hitler. The election of Hitler was really quite an indictment of the Jews.

(I am not saying Trump is Hitler)


It's obviously not that simple. If we follow your logic then we would expect that no previous President was able to enact tariffs. We obviously know that to be false as Presidents in the past have enacted a wide range of tariffs.


We also know that in the past the constitution has been violated for political expedience.


The argument the majority of the court went with in a few different forms is that a grant that goes against the constitutional grants needs to be explicit and IEEPA is not explicit.


Funny you mention reality. I don't even consider Musk Republican, but let's assume that for the sake of argument. Latest generic congressional polling has Republicans leading by handful of points.

To be fair, I don't think most people would go to the police for sexual harassment. It's handled as a civil offense unless it rises to the level of sexual assault and becomes criminal.


or 3) Being a manufacturing business, it's bad for company culture. It further divides your executives and 'pencil pushers' as their own privileged above that of the grunts actually creating the products.


I only see that term used by the left as an insult when it is a perfectly reasonable take.


That is two unsubstantiated claims in one sentence :)


Curious. How exactly do you reconcile the definition of fascism with your use of it?


They don't and can't. The word is bandied about by the left to the point of meaninglessness now.


He's got a 54% approval rating as opposed to 38% disapproval. He's also running at 58% approval among independents. Finally, he is also polling double digits against any potential Democrat challenger. Pretty clear his policies have been popular with most Floridians.


He won by less than 40k votes (something like less than half a percent) [1], I’m sorry but that’s a dangerous game to play if you want to win general elections. Polls this early don’t matter, polls the weeks before election does. This is nothing but political grand standing.

Also independent voters are a misnomer. Independents will typically vote for their preferred party the majority of the time, they're still partisans they just don't vote in primaries. [2] [3]
