If they admit that Trump is loving them over and ruining America it would mean admitting that they, personally, got conned and made horrible stupid decisions. Whether consciously or unconsciously it's easier for them to admit that it "has to be" for the greater good or whatever so they can salvage their self-image even as the president pisses into their face.

it's this but also they have been completely duped by their bosses and media into believing that just having a job is an act of generosity directed towards them

so when they inevitably lose their jobs because their boss is too greedy and skims too much from the company's coffers to fund his luxuries or their dipshit president butchers the economy because he doesn't know what a trade deficit is they think they're just losing access to a kind of charity rather than being the suckers on the losing end of a deal

It's like having buyers remorse yet being afraid to admit it but Trump supporters don't want to except buying a lemon even he fucks them over every way possible

The most recent poll showed he had 83% approval for GOP voters.

So all the bad dem hopes about siphoning off moderate republican votes are pretty misguided.

Yes agreed, when a country votes 51% republican then everybody inside votes republican. likewise when one person tells the newspaper they are happy to be retarded, it means everybody else is retarded where they live

this but more like 48%

The Republican party hasn't actually won a majority of the vote more than once in my political life and yet they control everything and are set to pack the courts for at least a generation more

the fact that the narrative of impeaching the stolen seats and packing the courts with leftists is just coming into popular consensus has been very, very good

83% is really low for a sitting president inside of his own party. Obama had something like 95% among democrats throughout his tenure.

It's great that chuds will offer their lives and livelihood if it will make America a better place except if that means it helps minorities in any way.

Dying so our corporate overlords earn slightly more? Very good! Slightly higher taxes so Jimena down the street can feed her kids? Extremely bad!

a hashtag ripe with schadenfreude - #FacesofTariffs

quote:

Many products have suddenly become more expensive. The additional taxes will ripple through supply chains, forcing companies in both countries to decide whether to take a financial hit themselves or pass it along to consumers. If demand drops, jobs will be in jeopardy.

The US industries facing tariffs include cotton, dairy, auto and soybeans — the United States' top agricultural export to China in 2017. Many of those industries have their roots in the Midwest and southern United States, areas that helped propel President Donald Trump to victory in 2016 on the promise of putting America first.

John Heisdorffer, a soybean grower from Iowa and president of the American Soybean Association, said the group had appealed to the Trump administration to find other solutions to addressing trade issues with China.

"Soybeans are the top agriculture export for the United States, and China is the top market for purchasing those exports," Heisdorffer said in a statement. "The math is simple. You tax soybean exports at 25-percent, and you have serious damage to U.S. farmers."

The group's lobbying efforts have included a social media campaign in which "individual soybean farmers who will be directly affected by the trade conflict attached their photographs to statements appealing directly to the President and his advisors," the group said.

lol that there are still industry groups dumb enough to waste money on a useless PR campaign instead of spending it on something that would actually influence the government's decisionmaking, like booking your next 10 years of annual conventions and board meetings at trump hotels. are the democrats' consultants also advising the soybean grower association?
