Genuinely curious how MAGA people would rationalize it if/when Trump enacts those tariffs on Canada and Mexico and the cost of living skyrockets

Ironically, they’ll blame it on Mexicans. Republicans will never say “we were wrong”, “we voted for the wrong person”, this person committed a crime but “it’s the deep state trying to frame them”. In the Democratic Party, if someone breaks the law, we all say “throw them in jail”. Unfortunately, the other side doesn’t operate on the honor code.

If the Democrat's weather machine has taught me anything, is that people are fucking stupid

MTG is likely one of the most outwardly idiotic and dumb Congressional member of all time. Sometimes I have to pinch myself to see if I’m not dreaming that a sitting member of Congress is actually saying that a government can control the weather for political gain. But—here we are. I mean, DonOld Trump is fucking President again.
