And for once I honestly have to agree with this fat fascist.

        Yes. This is the modern Republican: they cannot alter their beliefs to fit the facts, so their only option is to alter the facts to fit their beliefs.

        You have it ass backwards. They do not suffer cognitive dissonance. If they did, they would be suffering.

        Instead, we have cognitive dissonance trying to understand them. They have zero confusion. And that makes no sense to us, so we suffer dissonance. It’s all sane to them.

        EDIT: You have to laugh at OP downvoting me. “NOAW! I’m not suffering!” Yes, you are. These assholes are perfectly happy in their own minds.

        Especially since the current going idea is that tarrifs are allegedly a charge/tax another country is supposed to pay. They might just blame them for the escalating prices and say it’s retaliatory, and thus deserving of even higher tariffs or some such.
