    That’s a big HELL NO from me. These are the same folks who likely voted for him; they need to reap what was sown.

      I’m torn. On the one hand, you are right. It does seem to be a MAGA voter constant that they don’t see the evil of their actions until the feel the consequences personally. On the other hand, we Americans all need to eat, and we now cannot painlessly import our food.

      They will get helped, just watch. That is the point of all these blanket tariffs, hurt everyone and then make exceptions for their supporters and friends.

        Exceptions for anyone willing to owe the turnip. It’s all a shakedown game for personal allegiance, power accumulation, “ I’m winning”

        Let’s fucking go.

        They made this bed for all of us. Time to sleep in it. We’ve got rice ‘n beans.

        If they feel the pain, they may change their ways. If they’re kid-gloved away from the consequences of their own choices, they most certainly will not.

          Out of curiosity have you ever tried to grow enough rice and beans to feed yourself? Since you’re so confident maybe you should give it a try this year. I’m sure it’ll be very gratifying to boast about how you grew most of the calories you ate in 2026.
