It’s incredible going to the Fox News website or channel, and seeing in real time the propaganda churning machine in full damage control mode.
There’s zero mention of the collapsing market or tariffs. Is all just rage bait for the viewers about Biden presidency, burning Teslas ‘Terrorism!’, Kamala ‘is bad!’. Anything to distract their base from the real problem, and instead make up some faux rage.

He's literally willing to piss off some of his voters to bring industry back to America so young people can have a more financially productive life.

But you still have dumb motherfuckers like you that would make any excuse because 'at least it isnt a Democrat" and "the Republican party surely appreciates my blind loyalty and won't hurt me, yes I know they hurt everyone else but I'm special because I'm so loyal"

u/ThatOnePatheticDude 21h ago
Even if you don't have any money in stocks, the current stock market selloff is because of the expectation of a depression and retaliation from other countries that will lead to American companies selling fewer things.
Do you think they will just keep the same number of employees when they don't need to produce the same? No way. It was not enough to trash the government jobs, they also have to trash the private sector.

US companies ceded competing on lithography back in the late 80s. You can't design and implement your own tech on even a decade timespan. So even if you wanted domestic chip production, all the actual machines come from places you're fighting with. So all your shit will cost more, nevermind the cost of domestic labor.

All of the economic and political excuses they gave for why they were voting for Trump were always a front for their feelings or most selfish beliefs.
They like guns because it makes them feel powerful, and the left assigning rules, regulations, and accountability to them makes them feel less powerful
People being allowed to practice whatever religion they want, or none at all, makes their religion feel less special and powerful, especially when they can't legislate with it
Minorities with negative stereotypes make them at least apprehensive and sometimes fearful, so they don't like that the left tends to embrace and defend them (can also apply to minority members regarding other minorities)
The concept of taxes makes them think the government is taking some of their wage or adding to costs "just because", so they vote with whoever seems to hate them the most
When it comes to wealth, they don't like thinking about how large income inequality is, or how impossible it is to overcome it, and want to imagine they're a few lucky breaks from being affected by legislation that affects billionaires
None of these stand up on their own as a reason to vote Republican, and together it makes them seem extremely selfish. So they wrap each of these in the insulation of pretending to care about more widespread issues and fiscal policy.
They are willing to eat all of these costs because it's better than having to compromise their beliefs even a little.

From what I've seen as a curious lurker, there are some actual great points on r/Conservative that don't justify it as policy :
The gist is that they're saying that the Trump administration's vision is far too unclear. If it were purely a short term negotiation tactic and they intend to make deals and then back off of implementing tariffs, ok. If it's legitimately meant to bolster US manufacturing in the long-term, ok; but the messaging has been so chaotic and mixed that it results in unpredictable policy with unclear goals, which is the worst of both worlds.

They will inevitably move too fast and kick people off people who deserve to be on there and then leave them to fight for themselves to get back on.
