…and so it fucking should; the more pain average Americans feel, the better - honestly.
We are less than 8 months into this administration, and they are already doing their damnedest to rat-fuck the elections in an effort to fully seize power for at least a generation and remake the nation in their own twisted vision.
The last chance left to stop this takeover is the 2026 midterms, and the GOP are already pulling out all of the stops to stop that from happening:
- Gerrymandering the absolute shit out of Texas
- Closing polling booths in locations likely to vote against the GOP
- Imposing voter identification laws to further disenfranchise ‘undesirables’
- Rail against mail-in ballots to further suppress turnout
Hopefully the dam breaks and inflation well and truly begins to run away - so that the majority of the population feel the impact of this President’s policies to their wallets, and vote out his lapdogs and lackeys.
If not, then the nation and its people are truly lost and more expensive consoles are going to be the least of your worries.

Not just tariffs, but Trump is trying his damnedest to add more inflationary pressure to the economy by firing the people who are keeping interest rates high, counteracting the tariffs.
