Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI’ve been feeling like there are quite a few parallels to the Brexit mess in this past election and this administration’s policies. It took a while for the reality of Brexit to evaporate away the magical thinking; I think it’s just a matter of time before the same happens here as the cost of living shoots up as a result of these tariffs.

Our Christians are insane. Fox News has poisoned the minds of potentially hundreds of millions of Americans. American exceptionalism and the lie of “the American dream” has irrevocably cooked the collective minds of essentially our entire population.
