    It’s not a problem. Tariffs are brining in twice that every month, according to Trump. He can bail them out and subsidise them and still have plenty left over. Because that’s how free market capitalism works: with government subsidies and bailouts.

      Still think that American elections, especially in Republican controlled states, accurately reflect the intent of the voters? That’s cute.

        Well SOMEONE keeps voting for them enough to win. And Trump did win then popular vote this time around.

          Because SOMEONE keeps making it much more difficult to vote for some people than others.

          It’s no coincidence that there’s country clubs if a hundred members or less in almost entirely white and rich neighborhoods that you can vote in while at the same time there’s as little as one polling station for hundreds of thousands of people in areas where the population is mainly low income nonwhite, or both.

          And that’s not even getting into the wholesale disenfranchisement of people convicted of crimes by a “justice” system overwhelmingly stacked against poor people and people of color and in favor of rich people, especially rich white people.

    I bet he’ll bail them out before this starts having a real effect at the ballot box.
