It’s amazing that everyone knows so much about Luigi Mangioni, but couldn’t be bothered to understand the definition or effects of tariffs on the economy and their wallets before the election?

Because of the mainstream media. Explaining basic economics doesn't do anything for them, while creating a scene about a person who shot a CEO does wonders. They're even assuming he's guilty without a trial.

These 'news' (and I use the term loosely...very loosely) need to shove it where the sun don't shine. Every single one of them interviewed Dumph and never once put this kind of explanation on. NOW they will because their fascist dictator is in place.

I'm convinced at least 3/4 of MAGAts are functionally illiterate & it was the JOB of the MSM to educate them about what tariffs are. They failed at that job miserably. Just like they failed to report that Dump has dementia on top of his preexisting malignant narcissism.

The problem with that is that many people don't watch or read the news anymore. They absorb info in bits and pieces from social media, friends, etc. They don't see this as a problem. How do you get them to understand that they *do* need to pay attention to news, even if it makes them feel sad?

I don't even think that's the whole story though. I think people have learned to tune out the news because of how depressing it can be and now it's all behind paywalls anyway so people have even less incentive. It's tempting to blame it all on Ttump but the reality is more complicated than that.

The problem was, they were crying socialism. They were upset about student loan forgiveness. They were upset about immigrants. They failed to be upset about excessive tax breaks for billionaires! And tariffs for all!

Idk why they were upset about the loan forgiveness, it’s not like they have any loans, they’re uneducated. They keep complaining about immigration when it’s not even a problem, immigrants contribute a lot both physically and financially and those dumb fucks thought that billionaires care about them!

"I'm convinced at least 3/4 of MAGAts are functionally illiterate" 1. The literacy is called "media ecology", and the problem is described by Professor Neil Postman in his 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" 2. Denial abounds that people in #SurkovSimulacra since March 2013. Russia #SurkovSaysA

Stop playing by a different set of rules....hold on this fight until they are in place, say we told you so, and then fight them off with full public's support...The orange man did that with the bipartisan immigration bill and it got him elected...why do we refuse to let them #FAFO ...

They won't risk profit margins, that's the point. You're talking about the US, highly capitalist and companies know you'll still want their products so fear of loss of revenue through decreasing sales is an afterthought - they'll increase prices and people will pay, happens all the time.

The maga cultists have zero reading comprehension & whatever is told to them on the Russian propaganda channel Fox entertainment is all they know. Now if we made factual & important news like a reality show, then, maybe, they might get a clue. SMH.

That's why I ordered parts I would need in supply to cover the next four years. Most of what I need is made in the UK, Germany, Japan & China. Other than the stuff I can have custom machined here everything has been overseas for decades. We can't 'buy American' if the factories & labor are not here.

It won't matter cause when prices skyrocket under Trump, they'll just blame the Democrats and Biden's inflation cause they're dumber than sewer shit and can't critically think their way out of a paper bag.

I’m sorry, I don’t see what one has to do with the other! CEO killer was a distraction for sure! But I gotta tell you for eight months I was screaming on my Facebook page to the low IQ people how these tariffs were going to spiral into a recession!! where did that get any of us who did similar!

You are so right. Tariffs are not just policies, they impact everyday people’s wallets. It is a reminder to dig deeper into promises and ask who really pays. Staying informed helps us make choices that protect our economy and future. Knowledge saves money! 💡✨

Wow. What kind of people do you cater to, morons? Literally ALL of the comments here indicate that NOT ONE of these people know how tariffs work. You DO UNDERSTAND tariffs are only imposed on imported goods, right? Stop buying from countries that want to see the U.S. fail, and it's a non-issue.

I understand them. It's pretty fucking simple, Chris. Don't buy products from countries that want to destroy our economy. YOU DO REALIZE that tariffs are ONLY imposed on IMPORTED goods, right?

They still didn’t get it. They were crying about student loans and immigrants, and the dogs and cats being eaten and socialism. They weren’t paying a goddamn bit of attention to fascism ! Dictatorships! Or a pathological liar, running the country, as well as psycho!

Particulary galling to me was the narrative that Biden learned or copied Trump 1st term tariff policies. Joe applied tariffs correctly. As a component of a strategy to protect American workers and businesses.

Another thing most people don't know about is the billions ultrawealthy right-wing billionaires have invested in special interest groups to indoctrinate Americans into voting that serves their own interests!

That’s because the paid trolls and corporate news media were ordered to flood the zone with it. If they don’t talk about that then they are expected to talk about hunter biden.

You have a Bluesky account, what's keeping you from posting about it? What's keeping you from paying someone else to report about it? You could even profit off the reporting if you believe there is audience who desires the story. Capitalism is staying you in the face. Make money telling the story.

Not everyone. I don’t know a damn thing about that guy other than he murdered a UHC CEO in cold-blood. I do know all about the ramifications of tariffs on the U.S. economy. That beautiful refrigerator you want to buy that was $2,000 will end up costing you $2,500 after frumpy trumpy gets done.

Most people KNOW that tariffs result in higher prices. That's what tariffs are supposed to do. People stop buying stuff, which encourages reduction of tariffs on OUR exported goods and to balance trade in both directions.

Come on that’s basic human shit, Always more bothered with the gossips between hot and rich people Who wants to spend time learning how basic almost middle school level of math and economics works, I want to see another possibly hot pic of the handsome shooter and hear the tea on the CEO

The media wanted felon 45 to win bc their ratings were high on the last term, they’ll soon find out, bc they f^cked us up…their ratings will continue be low. Ignore the media

Most of the media outlets are owned by billionaires, billionaires benefit from Trump not from Democrats! It was in their best interest in sanewashing everything the dementia Ridden pathological liar had to say!

I think it's because it's two mostly dissimilar groups? Those who believe Trump Tariffs are good are (generally?) not the same people who are looking up details about Mangioni.

What happened to "the land of the free"? Made passive also against Government? Well after seeing countless (peaceful) demonstrations be torn apart by Governmental people (police/military), our subconscious concluded that that is not the way to express cause i get hurt. Fight it out on the internet?

Totally agree! And why focus on 1 company when we know the entire world is rotten to the bone with it! We know for a fact that they visit the Bilderberg meetings and trilateral commisions, that they discuss nothing only come together for a brunch. people of parliament and CEO's! Take out the roots!

The ones that know tried to inform the ones that don't know. They didn't care. they now say they will be happy to pay more since the border is going to be handled and other nonsense like that. There are justifications for every douche that voted for the #OrangeMenace

Maybe the Democrats should have used the old “Margot Robbie in a bubble bath” trick to explain the effects of tariffs on American consumers and the U.S. economy.

Hell, they couldn't even bother to fact check the lies they've grown accustomed to eating up. Cheering whenever Trump spoke tariffs or the ACA. Most of his supporters rely on the ACA but were duped because he called it Obama Care. No fact checking, just eating the lies.

Trump is going to have the Treasury rake in all of that sweet tariff cash, use it to fund tax cuts for the wealthy, and stick everyone else with the tariff tab. Oh well, all we can do is blame Trumpeters.

Yup, thanks to the ad departments being part of the decision makers of what gets printed or aired, much of what most would think would be news isn't. It's been a big problem for a long time. It's Independent Journalism that is the ones that brings this to the forefront.

Canadian here. Tariffs will also decimate the Canadian economy. Not something allies who share defence infrastructure, ubiquitous and mutually beneficial trade, a history of cooperation and friendship, integrated culture, and the world’s longest undefended border usually do to each other.

The softwood lumber tariffs on Canadian lumber, which started in 1982, devastated B.C.’s lumber industry. Almost 10,000 jobs were lost in the first few years. The tariff war on lumber persists and Canada’s lumber industry has not fully recovered. That was 42 years ago.

Americans LOVE criminals. It’s in all of our culture, movies, TV and books. Started with glorifying the confederacy…so it has its roots there, but became identified also with other issues. Hence we have a criminal President, and middle America didn’t blink, they voted for him…believed his lies even.

Then after that maybe it morphed into sympathy for criminals during prohibition and then to the mass incarceration that has taken place during the drug war and also as part of the southern efforts to manage elections by massively making parts of their population “ineligible” to vote. Whatever the

…case, people have confused criminals for heroes… and maybe we all have some part in that by eating up all of that content, regardless sometimes of the larger meaning of many of the stories. Opposing injustice and being wrongfully punished is different than murder or a fraudulent President who

The alternative was brown and not a man. Our country is full of ignorant , selfish, hate mongering bigots. As long as they get what they think they deserve, they will throw others under the bus without a second thought.

I spent months telling people what a tariff was how it was going to be tacked onto the price of everything! Their response was, but but but student forgiveness, immigrants! With no real understanding of how immigrants prop up our economy, pick our produce and do all the shitty jobs.
