  • Trump just got attached to the idea that once upon a time the federal government didn’t charge any income or corporate tax, and made all its money from tariffs. But at that time, they had barely any spending, almost no public services and absolutely no welfare. And the US doesn’t really produce much anymore.

    But it also works out for his friends, cause announcements of tariffs or pauses in tariffs make big moves in the markets. And if you know in advance, you can make big trades and make big money. Which they have been doing nonstop.

    So if a rebel army lost a civil war in the US, fled to Hawaii, set up a military dictatorship that exploits and genocides native Hawaiians, we should all just accept that as cool and fine? As long as 50 years have passed and the only people left are the children of the rebels and military dictators who support their “state”?

    Edit: also while being supported by China and Russia and all the while having war games where they invade the US from Hawaii 😂
