  • The thing about Smoot-Hawley is that when it happened everyone else also put up equal tariffs among one another.

    this time the EU, Japan, South Korea, Canada are only putting tariffs on the US. Not amongst themselves.

  • If we don't get these paid actors out of Congress we're going to lose in ways most people really don't want to believe

  • Just throwing this out there.

    If you expect conservatives to learn anything from this experience, I can promise you on my life that they won't. They will not deviate from voting R under any circumstance in existence.

    Best we can hope for is independents getting a clue and helping swing the next election, if there is one, back to the grownup party.

    Not holding my breath though. This is a very, very stupid generation of Americans.

    • Conservatives hate learning, especially from mistakes. Learning makes you go "Why do we do this tradition? This is stupid."

      If a conservative learns something, its a failure of the conservative ideology. Keeping them dumb makes them unquestioning obedient workers and soldiers. You don't have a soldier disobey commands to harm someone, you don't have a worker disobey their boss.

      Conservatism is explicitly against learning.

  • This time when we stomp down the corporatists we need to make it illegal for corporate interests to be considered when making policy.

    And collective ownership
