The hardcore maga crowd will enjoy ANYthing trump says or does, even if they have to suffer for it.

MOST people wake up when a situation hits their wallets but not them. They worship trump in the same way some people worship Jesus.

In fact, I would say maga people are probably more forgiving of trump than churchy people are of Jesus.

It is completely bizarre. They do not seem to care if their bank accounts will take yet another hit.

@Punches See AngelJade’s comment. “Democrats sure like to hurt rural people. Trump is hurting everyone equally.”

Presidential policies raising prices of vehicles is not a new thing. Throw in a few union strikes and that adds to it too as no car company is going to lower profits.

Biden and Obama both made prices of Trucks and SUV's go up drastically during and after their terms. Somehow Obama thought he could legally require trucks and SUV's to get over 50mpg which simply is not possible for a 8 or 10 cylinder. Biden increased those standards hoping to stimulate EV development.

They ordered the EPA to raise the average MPG for new vehicles sold, which resulted in the car companies in building less Trucks and SUV's to meet the legally required goal for averages.

That then reduced supply, despite such huge popularity as demand stayed up. Lower supply drives the prices sky high, which Democrats don't seem to mind at all as it mostly affects red states and rural area's where those vehicles are required where as in cities they are more of a option for the rich.

If you ever lived rural, we call small cars speed bumps as they get stuck in the mud and can't tow anything.

Which resulted in a brand new Trucks and SUV's tripling in price since 2010, far above inflation.

All presidential policies add to the price of various things, Trump ain't no exception but Democrats sure like to hurt rural people. Trump is hurting everyone equally.

"let them drive used cars!"

except the upward movement on the new cars will make the used ones more expensive.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@Pretzel Indeed, we saw that a few years ago. And spending more on cars means less spending elsewhere. Stagflation anyone?

@Bumbles the only way the this economy works is for the money to keep changing hands.
Bumbles · 51-55, M
@Pretzel Yes, sir. Wealth is created by transforming inputs (raw materials, labor, capital) into outputs that have greater value than the sum of their parts!
Clueless or accelerationists?

Hard to tell most days.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow If they secretly wanted to hasten the collapse of capitalism I’d at least admire the dedication.
@Bumbles If they are a flavor of accelerationists I think they would be more of the "black pill" watch the world burn for it's own sake vs lefty anti capitalist versions.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow There definitely is an element of nihilism to MAGA.

Tariffs and inflation , interest rates and weak consumption and high dollar and someone is going to pay 😁
Or the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to force Americans to pay double for a substandard "American" vehicle.

In industrialization you need buy -buy- buy , not the opposite
