    Amazing how quickly they pivoted from “Trump will bring down the price of groceries” to “It’s better if things get more expensive,” and his cultists just ate it up.

      Also, high prices are cool, but it’s also because Biden left them such a terrible economy.

      Very Orwellian. Never mind the objective data we could all see with our eyes about the fantastic economy Biden had. We could all see people complaining about high prices of eggs and the bitching they did about inflation. But nevermind all that, none of that is true because of what Pee-Wee here says.

    They’re destroying the American consumer class, people won’t be able to buy shit, and Americans hate not being able to buy shit

      And when MAGA Americans are angry, they double down on their support for the people that made them suffer.

    Maybe I’m reading into this too much, but I think they picked dolls on purpose. Not just because of the phrase “China Doll”, but also to play into their alpha male bullshit. They are intentionally feminizing the opposition to keep the manosphere engaged.

      That’s an interesting point. When I first read the quote from Trump about 2 dolls instead of 30, I thought he was just out of touch - I mean are dolls still a popular thing in today’s day and age? Is he just out of touch?

      But no, there’s a reason for the usage of the term. Quite an interesting point, especially considering the demographic that largely voted for him this second election was younger men.

        It reminds me of 1954. A happy family sitting around the christmas tree, young Barbara unwrapping her new porcelain doll … It might be to appeal to the boomer generation and their conservative romantic memories?

        To me, it’s something my grandma might have said to me. So, yeah. Probably a choice of words to set the atmosphere 👵😊

    Pee-wee Goebbels is here to tell everyone what they really believe, LOL.

    Doesn’t matter what people really believe or what people said they believed yesterday - high prices are cool, because it will please their lord the god-emperor King Mierdas.

      I can’t believe this man exists in the public spotlight in any capacity and it wasn’t the last straw for normal Americans who don’t want to live inside a stupid HBO drama with ridiculously written villains.

      edit: I’ve been informed most Americans would rather live in a fantasy world than reality anyway and that’s why we’re in this mess.

    I don’t want to hear anything Stephen Miller has to say unless it’s an apology for being Stephen Miller.

    Stephen Miller looks like a dude who definitely wears leather heels and a ball gag at home.
