MAGA is feeling buyer's remorse today..

Forgot the link..

Fuck. I suppose I should make big purchases now? Fuck, trump

Yeah, R2, buy a house. Fuck.

Yes. If you need a car, computer or an appliance get it before he takes office. Take advantage of those after Christmas sales and if you put it on credit, pay it off asap. His deregulation and coming economic crisis will make credit cards charge even more.

fuck, well, that is what I'm going to do then. fuck

This is not happening, op.

Magats are parasitic.

They feel no remorse and have no shame.

Maga smeared shit and waved the confederate flag in the nation's when President Biden won.

Maga is a burn it all down to own the libs movement.

If they lose their jobs or more likely if they lose their social security disability retard benefits, it will be SlEEpy jOe Biden's fault.

fuck, R5, buy 2. fuck

Maga smeared shit and waved the confederate flag in the nation's capitol when President Biden won.

I think we’re getting ahead of our skis. Still no evidence of this so-called buyer’s remorse.

Except, R6, sleepy Joe won't feel it--they will.

[quote] Still no evidence of this so-called buyer’s remorse.

Because he hasn't taken office yet, R9.

I need a love seat, a computer, possibly a tablet. I'm not really ready to buy all three right now.

fuck trump

That scores of people are finally paying attention gives me schaudenfreude..along with red state construction companies complaining about their immigration work force getting gutted and retailers realizing that they will all be facing bankruptcy when those tariffs kick in. Ususally you won't feel the pain of the GOP's bad economic policies until you get towards the end of their presidency (remember Bush Jr?) but the negative effects will be felt immediately. If things go as he plans, every little thing will become more exoensive.

what idiocy!

I thought Republicans are good for business so why does the economy tank when they are in charge

No. This is a proverbial cutting your nose off to spite your face. No remorse. No respect. No rational thought.

R14 They CONSERVE all of the profits by way of favorable legislation and tax cuts.

They say lassaiz-faire opens up opportunities but jobs and income disappear when they get in office

Thx R6-MAGA will blame any negative happenings under dump on previous administration.

Well, Texas construction is now experiencing some buyers remorse...and I'm laughing and laughing and laughing.

Wait, you mean a guy who made a point of talking about borders and border patrols and kicking out illegal immigrants is now planning to deport said illegal immigrants? Wait, you mean our industry which by some estimates is upwards of 60% illegal labor might be impacted?

smh

So what, R18? They'll feel the deprivations in the coming administration. Who cares who they blame? They'll still be the ones who bare fucked.

*They'll still be the ones who will be fucked.

i'm a poor eldergay, and will be buying a laptop.

I've put it off for a few months now but this will be my Christmas gift to myself.

My space bar doesn't work anymore and it's slow as fuck. I bought it in 2017 so it's had a good run.

It does matter who they blame.

If they believe it's some bizarre deep state, liberal conspiracy to undermine cheeto, it will make it much easier to enact even more rights stripping policies and laws that make our lives worse.

If their orange messiah is being unfairly persecuted and George Soros and HRC are destroying the economy to punish him, they'll only go further into the crazy.

We've long passed the point where rational thought and reason are controlling people's ideas and actions. It'll be the fault of immigrants, the gays, non-xtians and those people will be targeted by mobs of angry magats when the glory of all cheeto's promises don't come to pass. When America is worse than it's been in the past century, we'll slip into a true authoritarian state as the masses will accept anything for the promise to end the pain and misery.

^^^^ The goal would be to suspend or end the Constitution. The argument would be that it's too restrictive and doesn't allow them to do what they need to do to "fix" things.

Yep..

I am arming up. I don't want this, but it seems like it is where it is headed.

The doomsday scenario is a downward spiral that leads nowhere but down. II f you want to believe we're stepping into 1984, go right ahead. I don't have the headspace for that shit.

Putin believes the dissolution of the US -like that of the Soviet Union - is nigh. I agree.

Putin should be worried about his own failing war. Russia's economy is garbage.

Only crypto can save us!

Maga will blame it all on Biden and the ignorant will believe it...

Who cares who they blame, R31? They'll be fucked.

I didn’t think the leopard would tariff my face.

Can’t link to it but WAPO reports:

[quote] The poll shows that Americans have no higher priority than lowering the costs of goods and services in the aftermath of the recent high inflation numbers. Fully 79 percent of Americans say this should be a “high priority,” far ahead of any other items including cutting taxes. And Americans think new tariffs — basically a tax on imports under which costs are generally passed on to consumers — would lead to higher prices, 59 percent to 18 percent.

[quote]And yet! Americans also say they favor new tariffs, 52-48.

China is flexing on us. Do they really believe the ruble is worth more than the US dollar. Nice flex.

Laptops are for grannies.

Online dildos prices will undoubtedly skyrocket-I simply must get my order in today…

Well, then granny I must be. I'd much rather look at things on a full-sized screen than a small phone screen.

I would definitely buy now, but I'm not convinced these tariffs will actually happen. They are SO stupid that I can't help thinking some of the people around him (like the gay Treasury Secretary designate, who seems to have some brains) may be able to talk him down - not entirely, but a little bit.

^I hope you're right..as much as I want to see MAGA defecating on themselves again, I really don't want to pay a dollar extra for a gallon of gas.

Or for anything.

Don't you remember from the last administration, about the adults holding the guardrails, r39?

Trump has unilateral authority to impose tariffs. Have you ever known him to admit he’s wrong about anything?

My Trumper SIL made a comment the other day about construction materials being cheaper when lord and savior Trump gets in.

because of a magic wand? I'm no numbers guy but I did take econ101 in college and GOD DAMN these assholes sound like they would have failed the course

Failed the course? Most of them didn’t go to college.

Trump is trying to fill the coffers with middle class money because he wants to extend tax cuts for the wealthy.

EVERYTHING the Trump team has talked about--from tariffs and cutting the federal work force--is for that goal.

R26 hand gun or rifle or shotgun or all 3? Let us know what you purchase and how it shoots.

But they are not feeling buyer’s remorse because they believe him when he says tariffs are paid by foreign countries. It doesn’t help that our lazy media says he is imposing tariffs “on Mexico” or “on China.” They help confuse the public.

The hardcore MAGAts will find a way to blame high prices on Democrats.

Buyers remorse today? Do a search , lots will pop up right away from yesterday, and see what the survey people are saying about the approval of trumps transition so far.

DL once again out of touch with america.

In time we may be right and things will crash and burn then we can put on our slippers and do the happy dance.

It’s natural to look for silver linings after a disappointing loss. It easily turns into desperation - as it did for Democrats in 2016 (Jill Stein recounts, unfaithful electors) and deplorables in 2020 (dialing for votes, hanging Mike Pence, smearing shit on the Capitol walls).

Take anyone telling you how this plays out with a grain of salt - they’re either spreading despair or actively peddling it for clicks and views. As Jamelle Bouie says, steer clear of the Resistance Grifters.

He honestly is the only voice I have been listening to during this fracas. Still, it is hard to justify the atrocities the turmp administration wants to wreak

The big construction near me is bringing in the Amish now. The handsome mens are being replaced with bowl cuts, ho-made jeans, and bo.

I wouldn't worry to much about this nonsense. We need to be buying American good anyway. More business opportunities to be developed. We have to get away from buying all this crap from other countries. If you're going to worry about someone, worry about the Mexicans and Canadians whose economies are getting ready to suffer. We're fine, doll.

Learned nothing from history?

We’ve tried tariffs before. They led to global depression.

R55 is Doris Day.

[quote]The manufacturing of the motorcycle parts used by Harley-Davidson occurs in several factories located across the world. There are parts manufacturers in Mexico, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and Japan. Some of the parts are still made in the U.S. and used with enough frequency to earn the "Made in America" label on any Harley purchased in America. However, with so many different sources, parts, and motorcycle models, it's nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact origins of every motorcycle that rolls off the line.

Even the bikers who are so proud to ride their "American-made" motorcycles are in for a shock.

R55, you’re an idiot. We don’t, and haven’t had for decades, the infrastructure to make these things - also, labor is justifiably ten times the price of what it is a China and Bangladesh. You’re an idiot

MAGAs believe exactly what Trump, Murdoch and Musk tell them to believe. That’s what makes them MAGAs.

[quote] We need to be buying American good anyway.

America doesn't make anything anymore

I dId mY ReSeaRH, sHeEp! - D. Plorable

(on YouTube, TikTok, gab, rumble, and the like. Ready for that PhD, y'all!)

R55, do you like chocolate?

All a mahy Trump hats, clothes, and Bibles are made here in the good ole USA!

except that they of course aren't

A substantial portion of Americans are morons.

They are not very bright and have been poorly educated, but they have been cynically lied to and manipulated for profit and political power.

[quote]America doesn't make anything anymore

Nor does it have the initiative to do so anymore, and certainly, once deportation starts, there'll be no one with any initiative left. Enjoy your front facing McDonald's gigs kiddies!

[quote]We need to be buying American good anyway.

We don't HAVE the industrial infrastructure needed to replace those imported goods, you stupid fuck. We haven't for decades. How much time and money do you think it would take to restore that?

And that's why things at WalMart are so cheap.

Part of the issue is that so many Americans alive today have never gone thru really hard times. We have lived in a world where wars have never impacted us, at least here at home. We live in a world of relative wealth and plenty. And no one on DL is starving. Our suffering does not match up to the suffering in history.

I have relatives that fought in world wars, many died young, 3 went into the coal mines to work full time before they turned 14. Lots of hard times in the past. And more will come in the future.

The world is not always going to be pointing Up.

When the tough times come, and in time they will, the tough and the smart and the prepared will do better. Those surrounded by good support systems will do better.

The weak the soft the unprepared will fall behind.

Why should we make things in America where they will cost much more? So a few people continue to be employed in jobs that are uneconomic while everyone else pays twice as much for everything? That’s going to be real popular.

Indeed. And dollar tree. Those places are going to go out of business

They apparently don’t really care
