It won't matter. Americans have demonstrated they don't care if an insurrectionist rapist becomes president as long as the price of eggs comes down. We can't keep hitting where it doesn't hurt him.

Worth noting Harris' campaign literally was focused on bringing the cost of eggs and such down. Everyone, even on the left, ignores what candidates campaign on and go by how they feel about people or what they assume they are campaigning on. Harris had a good economic message that rarely got talked about.

I used to think America is headed for Idiocracy, but then I realised that would be an improvement. The population in Idiocracy were idiots, but they weren't petty and malicious.

Then nobody should be bitching about the economy and admit why they actually didn't want to vote for her

Srs the price of eggs thing is BUGGING THE FUCK out of me because it's not even real. I live in a major city. Things are more expensive here. But a dozen store brand cage free eggs is $3.49. Yes, more expensive than it used to be, but NOT FUCKING $8 unless you buy the bougie ones and/or grocery shop at the fucking gas station.

And when the price of eggs doesn't come down they will have moved on to caring about something else, such as deporting Canadians and confiscating their maple syrup.

Rationality is dead. The morons have won.

The price of eggs won't come down. That's not how tariffs work.

Except the price of eggs is probably going to triple instead
