re: #72 Targetpractice

Of course. Why? Because they’ll tell themselves that they’ve had hard times before, shit happens that they have no control over, and they can’t blame him for this because it was the Chinese who went looking for soybeans elsewhere. They’ll tell themselves that things will sort themselves out, they’ll take a hit this year, but he’s “making America great again” and that’s gonna mean a bit of sacrifice on everybody’s part.

Christ, that’s practically what the soybean farmers said in the article I read about that mess. The mindset was just effing insane. It was literally “We were doing great until Trump enacted these tariffs, but if him destroying our livelihoods makes America great again, sign us up!

“Also, where’s our billion dollar handout that we’d lose our shit over if it were given to non-white people?”
