Summary
A new WalletHub poll reveals that 74% of Americans believe Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs will worsen inflation, which remains a major concern for most households.
Trump’s plan includes significant tariffs—up to 60% on Chinese goods and 20% on other imports—to protect American jobs and address issues like fentanyl production and border security.
Experts warn these tariffs could increase consumer prices, with middle-income families potentially losing $2,500 annually.
Analysts caution Trump’s plans may face political hurdles in Congress despite his economic-focused campaign promises.
And if Dems had passed single-payer instead of a Republican healthcare plan when they had a supermajority in 2010, thousands of people wouldn’t be dying from lack of adequate healthcare and people wouldn’t be cheering about a healthcare CEO getting executed in the street in 2024.
If they’d boosted the minimum wage at any point since 2009, maybe so many people wouldn’t be living in their cars or in tents on the sidewalk.
If they’d fought harder to maintain Obama’s SCOTUS nomination in early 2016 instead of “waiting until after the election,” or fought against Trump nominating someone a month before the 2020 election, abortion would still be legal.
If they actually stood for the principles that they claim to, our weapons and tax dollars wouldn’t be currently being used to turn tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women, and children into red mist.
Trump is just a symptom of the rot that I’m speaking of not the cause. It doesn’t matter if he wins an election or not because there’s a lot more like him lining up to hold office.
“the world isn’t perfect”
If that’s your response, then you have no basis to complain about abortion rights, Trump, or anything else. Everything and every injustice can be boiled down to “the world isn’t perfect,” so we might as well throw up our hands and just accept it all, right?

As I said in my other comment to you:
As I said in my other comment to you, it would be easier to ignore your braindeadedness if your username was
BoThSiDeSWell you’re good at ignoring the party allowing Republicans to control everything, so I’m not too surprised that it comes easy to you.

I have no time for nihilistic political philosophy.
Whether you deny the nhialistic outcome or not, you can’t deny the reality of our situation and the trajectory of things.
It’s not an outcome, it’s a rejection of any and all sense of subtlety.
There is some corruption becomes “everything is corrupt”.
There is some setbacks becomes “progress is impossible”.
There are some bad actors becomes “the entire system is a swamp”.
It’s the “emo” political view and it’s pointless to discuss anything with.
