This is not surprising. It's just another example of conservatives not actually paying attention because they want so, so, so badly to be right about something.

Edit: typo

A conservative will eat a bowl of pig shit if a liberal has to smell their breath.

You know what: I would smell their breath if they’d eat a bowl of pig shit. It’d be worth it.

they would still cheer together as a herd how you suffered smelling that and post that on twitter as a victory, completely ignoring that they intentionally put shit in their mouth for joy of seeing other suffer.

Now we're owning the conservatives

Can we raise taxes on Trump voters to pay for all of this?

[–] capital 20 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

If history repeats itself, China will institute tariffs in such a way so as to target Trump voting states/counties as much as they can.

But this whole thing will be disastrous to us all, to be clear.

Tax whiskey, car parts, and agricultural output ( for example ).

Didn't they just stop buying soybeans last time?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Without looking at data, I would suggest taxing aluminum first because that will make cheap beer more expensive. Cities will tend towards bars (steel kegs) and independent brewers (glass bottles), while conservatives will drink bud lights from a can.

You could probably do way better with data, and China has more data than any other country. They will find the perfect product to tariff.

I’m having a hard time finding old articles from Trump’s first presidency but I remember some analysis of the retaliatory tariffs China implemented seemed to target products produced in redder states and counties.

Soybeans are the big one they hit last time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Sell them to me then. I need the soy milk for my coffee.

Can’t states impose their own taxes on imports? Since that’s where the ports are? Like if the product isn’t going to be sold in the state but transported further, then put additional tax it.

Vote for stupid and you get stupid

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

But I didn't vote for stupid. Why do I get stupid anyway? Fuck. Who let the pigeon into the chess hall? You know they just shit all over the board then strut around like they won.

Don’t forget, the non-voters are just as complicit as the Trumpers.

Does anyone in Temecula want free eggs?

Depends on the animal. We talking cobras?
