    If you are having any conservative Christmas/new years gatherings left, now’s the time to subtly make them aware of these dichotomies to cause disillusionment with MAGA.

    “You like Elon Musk? He loves immigrant labour at his companies and censored conservative figures on his free speech platform X who had disagreed.”

      Personally, I keep mentioning donvict’s plans to tax almost everything we buy - at 60% - 100%, apparently. I just mention that I made some purchases before donvict’s taxes will probably kick in, if he was serious about what he said.

      So far, I’ve just gotten kind of puzzled stares or silence, followed by an attempt to change the subject. The second group is at least aware enough to know a tariff = tax, I guess. The first are probably the ones that have no IDEA about the tariff plans, or foolishly think China is going to be paying the tax.
