    I’m not sure anyone in that family understands trade at all?

    Donvict seems to think a trade deficit means China is ripping us off or something. They also seem to think that China is going to be paying tariffs, for example, when it is only going to mean that Americans are going to be paying for it. Not China. Slapping tariffs on goods coming from China, etc…is JUST ANOTHER TAX.

    Do any of the dumbfucks in the Bircher/teabagger/maga/qanon, (whatever the fuck the crazies are calling themselves these days, it’s a constantly rotating set of labels, but it’s all basically the same set of stupid beliefs driven by feels rooted in racism) really understand that a tariff is a TAX? Again, these dipshits tried to start the “Tea party”, saying they were “taxed enough already” and I bet anything that only a very, very small percentage of them have made the connection. I bet most of the teabaggermaga dipshits think it’s gonna “make America great” or some shit because, donvict, their great white hope, is the one doing it to them. And doing it to them hard.
