This is the entire quote:
"No, we're going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you're not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected. Now, if I don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that's going to be the least of it, it's going to be a bloodbath for the country, that'll be the least of it. But they're not going to sell those cars, they're building massive factories."
The context is talking about Chinese cars, but the bit where he says "it's going to be a bloodbath for the country, that'll be the least of it." really looks to me like he's saying there will be a bloodbath in general if he doesn't get elected, the one in the car industry being small compared to it.
I don't know why I'm spending time and energy examining the idiotic ramblings of the orange gibbon.
I understand he is talking about cars... but that's not how anyone has taken it...
As a left centrist in a deep deep red state. I've got yet another firearm on order currently.
My politics boil down to
Lol
Hilariously those beliefs are sins in the face of my neighbor's... Which blows my mind.
And the thing is, while there are some people who just go along with this for the benefit of their own grift, the vast majority of these people actually believe that an order like this is absolutely necessary, and if we don’t have it civilization itself will collapse. In their view there must be a strict hierarchy and everyone must ‘know their place’ in it, or we are all doomed.
Because of this, they spend their time primarily in two pursuits:
You’re just someone they’re trying to stuff in the Out Group, is all.
It’s also why they don’t like the idea of minorities in power; one, in their eyes minorities belong in the lower tiers of the Out Group and therefore their presence will destroy the fabric of society, and two, they think that if minorities are let into the In Group, then they will be forced into the Out Group.
The context is great! Its exactly like his other interjections - usually uncorrelated and exactly what's really go in his mind
His bigot blurts are about the only truth he speaks
Hey, leave the orange gibbons alone -- they're considerably smarter than the orange wannabe Hitler.
That's the problem isn't it? He's not mentally there enough to realize a presidential candidate can't talk about a bloodbath without it being taken that way. I learned that you have to think about how your message is received in grade school. And that was just to avoid detention.
