See those two maps? The red is Trump voters; the blue is Harris voters.
Despite what the media says, the red is not "low IQ voters." All that red is low IQ, uninformed voters? Really? Only the high IQ folks live in the sparse blue regions???
Ridiculous, right? Not according to social media posts. Only those in the sparse blue regions know everything, know what is best, etc. Such as tariffs. People claim that those in the red regions don't understand what tariffs mean. Hm. In all of that red area, there are no economists? There are no professors of economics, no history professors? No one in red areas knows anything about tariffs?! Really? Do you
hear yourselves????
The blue people claim that tariffs will raise prices and Trump supporters will regret voting for him. That's a fascinating insight into their puny brains and how they think. Now, tariffs
can raise prices. Doesn't mean they
will raise prices. If tariffs are used willy-nilly, with no thought, no plan, could be bad...remember Obama's tires tariffs? Not well implemented. Where was the screaming then??? Selective outrage.
I had problems with my right foot last year. I had some pain but it wasn't too bad. But I was told I needed surgery or it would start hurting and be a bigger problem down the road. So I had it taken care of. There was post operative pain but once it healed, it has been no problem at all. Sometimes, ya gotta undergo a little pain to get to a better outcome. And that's the way it can be with tariffs. We understand that. Trump used them with great effect during his last administration and we had basically no inflation. Go look it up. You don't tariff everything. He used it as a great bargaining tool, bringing billions back into the US economy. The very threat of tariffs kept business here in the US, and kept other countries from raising tariffs on US products. It really is not that complicated but, as the news came out about Trump's newest appointments, the caterwauling began--"Worst choice ever!!!!" "Bad choice!!!" and so on. It's become predictable. Heads exploding constantly over every little thing isn't healthy. It's a sign of significant mental disturbance. Seek help.
