How is the US going to go to war with China when they’re killing off their own citizens

uhhh what?

Fr, I hate how the only solution people can come up with for improving healthcare is “competition”

is a marxist

I think Canada can absolutely fight back against the tariffs, but I don’t believe any of the leaders would do it. Trudeau sucks and is stepping down and whoever replaces him is probably not going to be that much different. PP would sell out the country for a nickel.

Word. I’m getting Barron Trump thirst traps and Elon sieg heiling

ngl, I had this realization when he took office in 2017. I genuinely thought the president had limited powers because of how limited Obama was in passing good things, but then day 1 Trump disproved that

Just seeing posts of people showing off Chinese city infrastructure is making me want to move to China. There was even a video going through a poor neighborhood and it looked better than some rich neighbordhoods I’ve seen in the US

Trump is going to be worse (long term at least) than Biden/Harris but the Democrats were doing everything they could to let Trump win. My cope is that the possibility of the Democrats winning was always just an illusion or at least a delay of the inevitable

The youth shall become socialists

I wonder if they are trying to flatter him to avoid talking about a forced sale. Apparently Trump is easily flattered by dumb shit.

Just so I understand, would a TikTok ban in the US be that impactful to the Chinese economy? Are you saying the sale of it can be a negotiation tool for a economic agreement between the US and China?

Jeez this is probably going to be as horrific as it sounds

I agree, that’s why I said it’s only somewhat effective

The only somewhat effective way of countering carbrain is by travelling to different countries, and experiencing decent public transit for the first time. Still, there are people who do see it and are stuck at the idea that it just can’t be implemented in their own country.

I almost lost my mind once when someone was telling me that a train is less scalable than a car. Like dude, do you think paved roads just spontaneously burst out of the ground?

I really hope they don’t sell, but I can see it happening because TikTok CEO is a capitalist at the end of the day

If a socialist or any one who is even remotely left tries to gain power

It definitely doesn’t warrant its cost and at this point just feels like a tech demo that no one can figure out how to monetize effectively. As well, the energy costs are just absurd for the purpose it serves.

Oh god, I’m embarrassed for him

At this point I believe the democrats are deliberately trying to boost Trump’s approval rating.

Why? So they justify their own right wing turn? They want to work across the aisle? Idk pick whatever reason you want.

I guess normalizing Trump does ward off any revolutionary potential in the population, so maybe it’s not so farfetched.
