That one screenshot with comment 'I thought tariff was taxes on foreign countries', I can't tell if that is sarcasm or not.

It is not.

The average Trump voter truly thinks tarrifs = "That country pays us money".

Where are all the "do my own research" mofos now? Would be nice if they did that and learned about economics...

They don't like lemmy because they don't understand federation. So they think the "300 users a day" on a post, means that is everyone across all instances.
