Just talked to someone at work and had to explain what tariffs are. I spoke with this person back in November and tried explaining all of this then, including Project 2025. At that time they said "yea, but both sides are bad." Tried to explain what that's exactly the sort of logic that gets the worst case scenario and that they have children and elderly parents to worry about but was brushed off. Some people are just perfectly happy to go through like with their heads buried deep in the sand.
Nah, the problem with a lot of " Republicans " is that they have literally been groomed, a la you know what, to believe that anything a rational person says that doesn't follow the group is wrong. I had a pair of non Christian friends who were diehard trumpers. They were also both permanently on SSI.
Thought they were smart until they spent 1.5 hours before a gaming tournament arguing that an assault weapon ban was stupid because one of them could use his cane to "assault" someone.
Trump and the current GOP need to have the population as under educated as possible. I live in a purple area in a very red part of my state. Due to a systematic wording issue with ballot initiatives, our education has gone to pot. This is because the bill writers tend to write them so that scare words are all over the place.
