    Trump is creating more enemies that will cost him the Republican Party in the 2026 and 2028 elections.

    First Wall Street because of the tariffs that lost trillions of dollars, scientists because of the research cuts, tourism because people no longer want to go, Only the elderly are missing when they realize the cuts in their social assistance.

    At this rate Elon will have to spend all his money on lobbying, to repel the lobbying that other groups will do.

      He’s teaching the world to be no longer reliant on the US. We’re watching the dismantling of a super power.

        Man China really played this one well.

        (Prefixing this with me saying I hate the Dictatorship of China)

        Russia’s obsession with infiltrating the US government is finally seeing returns, but it cost Russia everything.

        Basically China just gets to sit and watch the US and Russia turn each other into 3rd world countries, and then China just has to start expanding their borders and they get free 1984 style world domination.

    As someone who lives in a red state that’s pretty heavily dependent upon tourism, I say bring it (or, rather, don’t bring it). Spend your vacation money somewhere that deserves it.

      I’m purposely planning road trips to avoid red states. Trip to west coast will go straight north and then head west through Canada.

      I’ll probably have to compromise on some trips and allow myself to drive through red states. I’ll do my best to stock up on supplies before entering red states but they sure cover a lot of land.

      Wisconsin and Michigan sure messed up my routes.
