This one cracks me up. We already pay the highest drug prices in the developed world by extreme margins. Sometimes hundreds of times higher than other nations even. But they are pissed they will have a reason to raise prices yet again? And you better believe if they get a 25% tariff they'll raise prices 40% or more to take advantage of the fact that no one really knows what they are paying when they get a prescription. **** the pharma companies.

This is what the working forgotten man voted for. Trump didn’t make tariffs a secret. So if voters didn’t want tariffs, they certainly cocked up. Maybe they should seek information from not dudebro podcasts, Fox, and Facebook?

Sadly, this is a hot stove that more Americans must touch in order to learn. There needs to be more consequences from electing Trump. People need to feel the effects of their voting in order to knock them out of the psychosis they’ve been in. The government has worked too well for too long and they think that it’ll work just fine even when electing a know nothing idiot is put in charge.

Maybe people will care more about stuff that actually matters rather than focusing on the Democratic’s nominee’s hair or chuckle next time.

Their mistake was believing him when he said they wouldn't affect anyone except the companies. Unless he is going to sign an executive order forcing the companies to eat the tariffs (more than a little legally dubious), then they will get passed along, with extra just for kicks, to the everyman. But he told them they wouldn't feel it. It would be China paying us billions, and have no effect on anyone in America, just China. But the cult will believe anything he says and jump through hoops to justify it.

Then they’re so unbelievably naive that they need this hot stove to burn the **** out of their hand and they need to feel it every ****ing day for four long ****ing years.

Election consequences must be felt for people to snap out of this psychosis… or from this unreal level of ignorance. There’s a reason why our neighbor north and our ex-allies in Western Europe don’t have ridiculous swings like this and it can’t just be on politicians. The electorates in these other countries aren’t so spoiled, bored, and stupid.

Here comes the third major Republican led recession of my adult life. Can we please stop electing these idiots? Their policies suck. Like seriously, when was the last time you agreed with the GOP on economic or social policy?

I relate so much to this. Like I said before, Obama and Biden were “boring.” But I like boring and competent. I just want stability. I don’t need all th chaos that so many here in America want apparently.

The absolutely hilarious part is I'm old enough to remember so many Republican-led recessions/economic disasters (82, 91, 02, 08. etc.). Why people keep falling for their crap is beyond me.

Every one of the recessions you listed has democrat fingerprints, and the last one is entirely democrat created. The 2008 "Great Recession" was a direct consequence of the subprime mortgage crisis which was created by Democrats dictating to American lenders to lower their lending standards in order to facilitate boosting home ownership rates among historically marginalized peoples. The race-obsessed democrats ordered banks to ignore math and we got the Great Recession because of it.

The 2002 recession was the bursting of the dot com bubble and wasn't really democrat or republican.

I don't remember the causes of the 1991 recession but I do remember them turning an undefeatable Bush into roadkill in about 6 months.

The 1982 recession was engineered by Paul Volcker to end 1970's stagflation. It worked. The funniest part about history's treatment of that recession is that Paul Volcker was put in place by Jimmy Carter, but because the engineered recession took place during Reagan, he gets credit for ending stagflation and the resulting 1980's economic boom. It seems you too have jumped on that train crediting Reagan.
