>>484822 >I don't believe in religion but I'm going to use religion to prove my point. >fails to make a point Lol, sure is lefty edgelord 101 ITT

>>484822 These wanabee kikes, would livestream Christs execution and laugh about the Lefty getting owned.

>>484826 Yeah, I know, you're more interested in voting in the interest of niggers and illegals. Which is why you retards lost.

>>484828 >b b but you're not even Christian I quote your supposed Lord and Savior telling you to give to the poor, and that's the best you can come up with? You really suck at this whole debate thing. Maybe just stop participating and go munch on crayons or something.

I proudly support protectionism.

>>484834 They use religion for networking and a group consensus, they dont give a real fuck about Christs teachings

>>484826 >but duuuude the economical metrics Its about dismantling consumerist globalism which is leveraging international slave labor to maximize the flow of cash to central bankers via a constant flood of disposable goods and perpetual population growth Dismantling globalism does work. Believe it or not the US can provide most of its essentials and only needs to be friends with canada and mexico again. But you won’t grt your iPhones ever again. (Good.)

>>484830 Honestly, yes. They literally would. They're constantly reminding me of this verse: "Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!" - Matthew 7: 22-23

>>484859 aren't the Sunday easter festivities at the white house now being sponsored? >eggs with logos >livestream Christs execution \ <difference?

>>484865 <pink text >HYPER GAY

>>484857 Cool talking points, but it's probably not gonna work out the way Trump and his incompetent goons think it will. Part of the reason everything is relatively cheap is because all the manufacturing jobs went to 3rd world countries where companies can get away with paying their employees actual slave wages. Even if we see a manufacturing surge in the US, the cost of everything will go up significantly - and it'll take years before it actually comes to fruition, which means the economy will be in shambles by then unless Trump reverses course on the tariffs.

>>484865 Donny can't resist an opportunity to make $$$$$ The antichrist is literally right in front of their eyes, and not only do they not see it, they actually view him as a kind of divine figure. It's surreal. Truly eschatological.

>>484888 Wasting opportunities to push ideology so much better because I can actually feel good about myself when starving to death!

>>484946 There you go again with the tranny shit Get some new material ffs

>>485059 see >>484802

>>484951 Your entire party is based on tranny shit.

>>484888 Musk and Trump are billionaires, and have been for a long time. You retards keep saying they're in government to "make money" They don't fucking need more money. Just because you're a welfare rat loser who's constantly scrounging for a few dollars doesn't mean normal people are so motivated.

>>484876 >The cost of everything will go up significantly That is literally the only way to end consumerism and disposable slop. Bro, this administration is an old school leftist's wet dream. How do we slow global warming and improve our moral character? Stop trading with china. Stop treating immigrants like a slave class (non-citizens that can't even speak the language the law is written in lol). I know a true compassionate and principled leftist would have pursued an accelerated path to citizenship and english literacy for every mexican here but since they wanted to create spanish speaking mini-mexicos to draw cheap labor from while sayin integrating them was heckin white supremacy, we're doing deportations now. SAD. REMINDER: "The economy" is the central bank. Not your wages. Not how much it costs to live. It's the central banks, and by extension, how much it costs to consoom. If everyone bought only one of each thing and kept it until it broke, which would be fucking decades (my nikon d200 from 2005 still operates flawlessly), the economy would experience a fatal slowdown. Money changers require constant purchases, on credit, in order to continue lending your money and borrowing against and trading in your debt. Food prices will stabilize because the US produces so much food that even if they didn't reduce waste it would still be able to feed itself twice over. The issue we're facing right now isn't international trade deals, it's the fact that the US merchant class is so greedy they'd rather discard domestic products than continue selling them to foreigners for $$$ and importing the same thing from foreigners for $$. >inb4 stock crash "The stock market" isn't even necessarily relevant to us. If you invested in something as volatile and high risk as equities with insane P/E ratios that's you being dumb. Stocks have traded like shitcoins since 1920. I never put a dollar of my retirement into equities as an investment... but I did buy puts on VIX spikes with spare cash. I also view housing like this. The people who forced home values to be a retirement supporting pyramid scheme are social cancer and deserve everything bad that happens to them. I hope the next administration forces private equity to liquidate their stock of residential homes and crashes house prices back down to 2009 levels.

>>482966 Leftists didn't cause orange monday.

Just because you're a welfare rat loser who's constantly scrounging for a few dollars doesn't mean normal people are so motivated. billionaires are not normal people. Look it up. Musk and trump have used their positions to enrich themselves.

>>485233 stop using facts! rich people are the only people who don't want money which is why they have all the money...

>>485233 >Musk and Trump have used their positions to enrich themselves >Souce: My HIV Infected Leftard Asshole Trump and Musk have actually lost millions since becoming political figures. Look it up.

ATTENTION NIGGERS No one is interested in your stupid fucking cuckservative vs. democrat threads, you're not accomplishing anything of value and no one agrees with you, you're not "owning the chuds/liberals", kill yourselves immediately.

>>485261 Lol, what a fucking brainless take. They don't have all the money, they just have more than you. Because you're too stupid and leftist to make any.

>>486367 STFU FAGGOT

>>486367 >muh racisms

>>482966 Is that Shri Thanedar? I have not seen his pic in fucking years. He's not leftist dude. He's just full of himself and retarded. Last I checked his entire platform and politics were for sale if it'd get him elected. (There were articles written on this shit, featuring people who worked on his campaign iirc.) He had zero allegiance to any party. He just has money and wanted to try running in government. That's why he seems so retarded, because he's 100% rich idiot, 0% thoughts in his brain, and he's rich enough to not understand why there's something wrong with what he's doing because life has been working out for him so far. If this guy thought Republicans were more electable in his state when he started his career, he'd 100% have tried to run as a Republican with the whole platform and whatever the fuck was most popular. He literally shopped his entire politics based solely on popularity. I can tell you this much: Sanders supporters do not like this guy. If it weren't for this fag running interference we could've had Gretchen Whitmer replaced by someone decent (Abdul El-Sayed). Anyway, yes, there are wackos and whatnot on the left, but let's not pretend the right doesn't have Ted Cruz and other people with holes in their brains either.

>>485146 There is so much bullshit contained in this post, I don't know why I'm even wasting my time responding, but here we go... >That is literally the only way to end consumerism and disposable slop There's a reason I said *relatively* cheap - i.e. relative to what they'll be if companies are forced to pay their employees upwards of SIX TIMES more money. Over the past 40 years, inflation-adjusted wages have been flat. With inflation already being an issue, the notion that more inflation = better, is spectacularly fucking stupid. Most people are barely making ends meet as it is, not simply because they're not financially responsible or too materialistic, but because pretty much everything is too goddamn expensive. If we were to cut off trade with China (which is not the plan btw, but nice head canon), we would be forced to manufacture quite a few things (that are already relatively expensive), causing the prices of these goods to skyrocket, thus putting the manufacturing jobs that Trump and his band of buffoons keep talking about in jeopardy (not to mention the fact that AI is going to be replacing most of these jobs soon, anyway). And we're not just talking about iPhones here. We're talking clothing, furniture, cars/car parts, plastics, and a variety of machinery. We import 450 BILLION dollars worth of goods from China every year (that's around 14% of our imports). Replacing the majority of Chinese imports with "made in USA" goods would be catastrophic unless companies continue to pay their employees slave wages. >I know a true compassionate and principled leftist would have pursued an accelerated path to citizenship Most of them do/did. Don't blame leftists from the Trump's administration decision to purge all of them. >sayin integrating them was heckin white supremacy Oh for God's sake, stay the fuck off of /pol/, kiddo. >"The economy" is the central bank Reducing the entire economy to the central bank is incredibly dumb and ignorant. Regardless of what you read on /pol/ or whatever anarkiddy book, the economy is multi-faceted. Here's a textbook definition for you: the economy is the system by which goods and services are produced, distributed, and consumed within a society - this includes things like jobs, wages, inflation, trade, the stock market, etc. - and when one of those facets starts to crater, it's usually a very bad sign for the broader economy. >The issue we're facing right now isn't international trade deals, it's the fact that the US merchant class is so greedy... 1. It's doesn't have to be one or the other. It's both. 2. If you think corporate greed is the root of the problem (which I agree with), think real hard about why bringing manufacturing jobs to the US might not solve it. >"The stock market" isn't even necessarily relevant to us The stock market is essentially glorified gambling. Only 50% of adults own stock, and over 90% is owned by the top 10% - it's a joke. However, the market is not flashing bright red warning signs right now because of a poor jobs report or some massively overvalued tech stocks being corrected. It's shitting the bed because investors realize that the trade war is going to cause prices to increase, causing people to buy much less, causing profits to plummet, causing job losses, which will all eventually lead to a serious recession barring unforseen trade deals. As for the housing market crisis, we are in agreement.
