    You can still take solice in knowing that you “owned some libs” though. That just makes the whole thing worth it, doesn’t it?

    Heartbreaking.

    I can’t stop crying about this redcap’s 23% loss in profits. Never mind that I’m not sure whether my Social Security disability will continue at all (it’s been delayed the last couple of months, to the point I can’t afford ramen right now) or that they’re building interment camps. Or that my doctors say Medicare won’t allow my prescriptions anymore unless I can travel the hour and a half to physically show up at their office, which I cannot do since I’m 100% homebound and Medicare has suddenly decided they’re not allowing remote visits anymore, so I’ll have to stop taking lifesaving meds I’ve been on for 20 years.

    But yes, this guy’s 23% profit loss will keep me up tonight.

    This is just like Chinese Cultural Revolution. That destroyed their economy and it took them a few decades to rebuild.

    It is easier to destroy but hard to build…I hope they learned their lesson.

        The vast majority of them won’t learn anything. They are just looking to blame someone right now. Next election (if there is one) some dem will say something they hate, things will be better for them, and they are right back on the trump train.

        Most of them are too far gone, in the cult, and listen to nothing but the propaganda. Any soft realization will quickly be forgotten when they are told how it’s the other sides fault b

      Yep this is “Trump’s Great Leap Forward” and we should start referring to it as such.

        Chickens are at least more likely to be useful. That is more of an accident than anything, seeing as Trump and Mao are just different shapes of crap.

    I did not vote for a neutron bomb to wipe out supply chains and small businesses…

    Zero fucking sympathy and this is just the beginning of the US collapse. There will be plenty of used trucks and trailers.

      At some level, I’m just jealous of these people for getting what they voted for. I haven’t gotten what I voted for ever since I was old enough to vote.

      The funny thing is, this would say off some right wing people without them realizing the irony of getting mad at it.
