House Democrats Slammed for Supporting Tariffs ‘If Done Right’ As Market Plunges: ‘We’re Being Governed By Morons’

“Why are you morons addicted to losing,” one user wrote.

 

A society who does shit-bird Tweet Elon Musk X style communications as leadership. The entire nation has become clowns on social machines and society systems. Elon Musk didn’t just accidentally become the most powerful leader of the world, he used Twitter - as people in the United States of America will believe ANYTHING off a social machine. USA has a massive crisis of gullibility.

    This article is awful. Take a nuanced economic position and spin it into outrage bait, right?

      I don’t know much about Deluzio, but his Wikipedia page makes him sound vaguely economically progressive. I think what’s happening here is that the neoliberals are taking an opportunity to try to punish him for failing their laissez-faire fundamentalist purity test because he’s too uppity about workers’ rights.

      Here comes the damage control propaganda. One guy says something stupid but the the headline pins it on all democrats.

      Here comes the Lemmy Twitter-length Bluesky-length comment reactions that don’t understand the community this was posted in and that the headline of the posting says “We are all in USA using communications & information systems like clowns, Total Mockery”

      Such information systems being Lemmy social machine systems.
