Society/Culture Trump will blame us for the coming economic downturn.
Just FYI - thinking ahead, Donald will absolutely place the blame on people like those in this community when the tariffs and shit blow up in his face. Rhetoric will probably include “anti-American boycotts” and call us marxists/leftists/liberals etc.
Having a large number of people actively trying to cause economic pain to large corporations makes us an easy out to excuse the most ridiculous trade policy we have ever seen.
Prepare yourself for an especially mean Fox News segment and pure demonization. We’re going to be the next scapegoat.
edit: this post is not meant to be pro-consumerism. It is to keep aware that boycotters/anti consumerists will be in the crosshairs - the cult needs someone to blame. Do not think in terms of reason and reality with MAGA: the important thing is the headline and talking points they can make in a conservative vacuum.
Solidarity!

Came here to say this… I saw someone claim the negative consequences of the current administration is because the liberals won’t “stop fighting all trump’s good work and let him do his job his way”.
