I have friends who’s loved ones are in the GOP death cult, they ask “what’s the point of all this immigrant and abortion stuff, they used to not care about this at all”
I simply reply: “The cruelty is the point. DJT isn’t promising to fix anything really, he’s promising to hurt the right people.”
Well, they can, but the cost will get more volatile… super oversimplified, it’s the difference between drinking at home booze you bought at wholesale prices and keeping a running tab with a local bar/pub. You’ll be subject to the bar and any price changes they (read: the currency markets) want to make.
