My fellow Americans: you wanted this shit. Wallow in it, you fucking idiots.
- 22% of the total US population wanted it.
  
  Every single person who didn't vote wanted this because they were fine with it happening.
  
  That's 31.6% of eligible voters 46% of eligible voters may not have actively wanted it, but they were okay enough with it to not bother voting against it.
- We didn't 🥲
  
  Canadians (and I'm sure Mexicans too)
  
  You guys will find new places to export to. Really the only big loser here will be the U.S.
  
  Also, remember that he's imposing tariffs without offering alternatives. Good luck finding someone else to buy timber from, American businesses. You sure won't be able to get enough domestically.
Hey guys: At least we didn't elect Genocide Joe, amirite? Those Democrats will sure learn their lesson from not voting for Bernie.

Fucking christ this country is fucked and the global economy ain't gonna do much better once the European tariffs get added to the mix.
