American leftists need to adopt their communication strategy. It doesn’t work to have educated people lecture the anti intellectuals. They don’t want to hear it and they’ll have a knee jerk reaction against it. Study, learn and use their own preferred methods instead. Stickers, simple slogans, rants, fucking flags on oversized wankmobiles if you’ve got one. Whenever there is a direct consequence of the Trump administration, shout it immediately from the rooftops until people get it. Only talking about it years later at the next election will do nothing because it is already pushed away by the propaganda feed. Use their method of communication but keep it factual and don’t stoop down to their hatred and lies. It’s not about taunting, it’s about informing the uninformed and leading them out of the bubble.
Price hikes? Thanks MAGA. Deportations of integrated citizens? Thanks MAGA. No more social security? Thanks MAGA. Leopards chewing on your face? WELL FUCKING THANKS FOR VOTING FOR THE LEOPARDS EATING PEOPLE’S FACES PARTY!
I made these to help us get the message out.
I don’t honestly think that would work. They’ve been conditioned to take comfort in not knowing things. I’ve seen the thought process unfold in front of me hundreds of times: “If a republican did it, it was a good thing and part of the plan, even if I don’t understand how yet.” It’s exactly the same thought process that they employ for their religion: “God is good and does good things, even though terrible things happen to people all the time that God must have allowed if he exists, there’s always a plan, even if we don’t know it.”
How could the woke liberals do this to us?!
They’re mad they lost and now they want to punish us!!!11!! Thanks Obama
Because they didn’t put up these tariffs when they had the chance, so Trump had to do it now.
On an unrelated note, I recently got this leopard as a pet and it’s now digesting my face. How do I undo it all?
They could probably give them a jelly of the month club subscription that should keep them happy
But then they might be kidnapped by a bulging, beastly man in a blue leisure suit!
They already have heads full of the stuff.
This story has no proper nouns other than PA. It needs more details or else it’s a lie that we want to believe.
Probably even get a cost savings for such a large stock order. Somehow the cost for whatever they produce will still go up though. Record profits next year. Of course that will trickle down to the employees right? Right?
Manufacturing already buys in bulk and they would not be likely to get a further discount from a company that knows they are buying up to avoid tariffs. Plus they will need to store the materials, which will most likely incur warehouse fees.
They are also going to be ordering for things that they already have contracts for, so they are trying to avoid losing a bunch of money on materials increases.
Explaining tariffs is actually a decent sign that they are operating in good faith, at least as much as can be expected from a for profit business, and they aren’t just swindling their employees. I mean if they post record profits after denying bonuses at a small manufacturing business they are likely to lose the vast majority of their workforce.
The fact that so many are believing this anecdote to be real is a good reason why the Dems lost.
Why bother with reality and learning what actual people are experiencing in their actual lives when you can just share made up stories and extreme fringe cases that confirm your world view?
Media literacy is fucking dead.
I work in manufacturing, there’s no way a small manufacturing company is going to be able to put up the capital to pre-buy and entire year’s worth of product, and then find a place to store it, especially when there have been no details at all released on any potential tariffs.
Everyone needs to realize that trump was saying anything he could possibly say in order to get elected and stay out of jail. He made promises to people so they’d help him. But it is trump, he isn’t a man of integrity. He’s going to do whatever directly benefits him. He doesn’t have to worry about being elected again. Just because he said he’s going to do something, doesn’t mean he’s actually going to do it now that he’s gotten what he wants.
Yeah but this anecdote is featured in a tiktok where the person’s face is partially visible in front of the post so it’s probably true. I can trust a random stranger when they tell me another random stranger said something true
I can trust a random stranger when they tell me another random stranger said something true
Especially when that ‘something’ aligns with what I want to believe.
Reinforce my existing beliefs with unsubstantiated claims harder, daddy
