A conservative will eat a bowl of pig shit if a liberal has to smell their breath.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 44 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

You know what: I would smell their breath if they’d eat a bowl of pig shit. It’d be worth it.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 23 points 4 weeks ago

Now we're owning the conservatives

[–] rzlatic@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (2 children)

they would still cheer together as a herd how you suffered and post that on twitter as a victory, completely ignoring that they intentionally put shit in their mouth for joy of seeing other suffer.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

They can cheer from their hospital beds as they get absolutely wrecked from eating pig shit. It won’t bother me none.

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 3 points 4 weeks ago

And then complain that all of the snowflake liberals don't want to talk to them anymore.

Can we raise taxes on Trump voters to pay for all of this?

[–] capital@lemmy.world 33 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

If history repeats itself, China will institute tariffs in such a way so as to target Trump voting states/counties as much as they can.

But this whole thing will be disastrous to us all, to be clear.

Without looking at data, I would suggest taxing aluminum first because that will make cheap beer more expensive. Cities will tend towards bars (steel kegs) and independent brewers (glass bottles), while conservatives will drink bud lights from a can.

You could probably do way better with data, and China has more data than any other country. They will find the perfect product to tariff.

Tax whiskey, car parts, and agricultural output ( for example ).

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Didn't they just stop buying soybeans last time?

[–] capital@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (4 children)

I’m having a hard time finding old articles from Trump’s first presidency but I remember some analysis of the retaliatory tariffs China implemented seemed to target products produced in redder states and counties.

Edit: Finally found what I was looking for (I really dislike mobile versions of websites btw).

Soybeans are the big one they hit last time

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Sell them to me then. I need the soy milk for my coffee.

[–] stroz@infosec.pub 3 points 4 weeks ago

I've got some bad news about that coffee...

Vote for stupid and you get stupid

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

But I didn't vote for stupid. Why do I get stupid anyway? Fuck. Who let the pigeon into the chess hall? You know they just shit all over the board then strut around like they won.

[–] superkret@feddit.org 2 points 4 weeks ago

Because. We. Live. In. A. Society.

Don’t forget, the non-voters are just as complicit as the Trumpers.

This is not surprising. It's just another example of conservatives not actually paying attention because they want so, so, so badly to be right about something.

Edit: typo

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Would love to just tax right wingers on everything they voted for.

[–] Somethingcheezie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

How about a choice on the taxes you pay by feature

Big military 5% Big ass military 10% Obama care 10% Duct tape care 2% Decent highways 15% I’ll ride a horse 2%

Responsible government with consequences 20% Corrupt bastards who rape the country 30%

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 13 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

It doesn't matter. They're all just pretend the prices are lower.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

"It's a delayed market response to the irresponsible socialist policies of the Biden/Harris administration."

[–] Jiggle_Physics@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Someone I live near said it wouldn't matter because his income would be going up, and his tax burden would get lower, so the tariffs would be off-set. Now his company is cutting everyone's compensation, even the the c-suite, and, if the tariffs really are upwards of 35% on China, they are looking at moving to Europe

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 12 points 4 weeks ago

I wish the Government had a "You didn't fuck around, so you don't get to find out." policy

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Trump voters would do anything to own liberals. Like, literally. They want to own slaves again...

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Curl is a good avatar for all these stubborn, ignorant conservatives wearing cowboy hats they didn't earn, forever in their daddy's shadow.

[–] CoCo_Goldstein@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

"Trickle Down" has nothing to do with tariffs. /pedant

But yeah... any gain a company or industry receives from a tariff will be more than offset by the tariffs other countries impose upon us. The US produces and sells a lot of things world wide.

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

It was all lies. Still is.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Well at least Carl came to his senses afterwards. I doubt the same will happen with conservatives

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Does anyone in Temecula want free eggs?

[–] MegaUltraChicken@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Depends on the animal. We talking cobras?
