I'm still worried about how he's even going to accomplish that, seeing as he's also planning to deport the cheapest sources of agricultural labor.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 10 points 6 days ago

It doesn't matter because republican voters don't actually care about the price of eggs. They only pretend to if they think it will help them win. It's actually amazing more people don't understand this considering it has been a pattern in US elections for like 40 years now.

  1. He'll say that he did it

  2. The media will treat it as gospel

  3. People will believe it

Not listed: prices actually coming down

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I think it'll wind up as slavery. Instead of actually deporting huge numbers of people, they'll go "wow so it turns out that's really hard" and use them as prison labor instead. You don't have to pay prison laborers.

Isn't that how the Nazi camps turned into death camps? Originally they were just saying to deport the jews, take back the country, blah blah, and then they realized how absolutely brutal it is to forcibly migrate millions of people so they turned to labor and executing the excess. Await a fact-check from a better informed WW2 scholar than me though

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Ehhh, there's still lively debate, but the general consensus is that the whole "we'll deport the Jews/undesirables" thing was mostly a smokescreen, and the plan was always to either place them in work camps or kill the ones that couldn't work. The camps came AFTER a lengthy campaign of extermination against "useless eaters" such as the elderly, the chronically ill, and the mentally and physically disabled, which was billed as "well they're a huge drain on state resources."

Simple. Prices will go up, Trump will hold a press conference announcing prices are lower, and 50% of the country will believe prices are lower instead of the lying mainstream media.

Some 1984 shit. Newspeak

[-] gibmiser@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago

You mean the lies of their eyes. I believe Orwell had something to say on the subject.

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 week ago

More likely he’ll use tax money to subsidize red state groceries so their eyes won’t lie to them as much.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 23 points 1 week ago

"The Demonrats voted for Nazi Kamala so they don't deserve food! We're taking federal tax income from NY communist state and Calicommufornia and subsiding Fantastic Florida Patriots food! Oh, and they're the party of hate not us! Fuck Democrats, hope they all die! Merry Christmas to all!"

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

9/10 because they refer to California as Commiefornia

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

The mainstream media will report that Trump said prices are lower, and not actually point out that he is a lying liar.

[-] RedditReject@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

You forgot the part where he blames the democrats

[-] tea@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago

This the the answer. The two major tenets of his platform are "raise tarrifs" (inflationary!) and "deport immigrants" (raising costs on production). Shit is going to get more expensive, but it won't matter if facts continue not to matter and you have a boogieman to shake your stick at.

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 week ago

I remember when his tax "cut" first was experienced, there were a bunch of tiktoks on the fact that their taxes went up. A lot of "I didn't vote for this!" Videos.

But they soon forgot.

His fans are like cats. Easily distracted, so long as someone else is getting hurt worse.

Hey, no need to disparage cats...

Plus adding tariffs to everything.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 30 points 1 week ago

That's easy! Repeal child labor laws and massively increase prison populations for slave labor!

...they did say private prisons were among the groups very happy to see a Trump victory. Wonder why...

I will make sure to suicide by cop before I end up a literal corporate slave, I will force the guards to kill me.

[-] spamfajitas@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Those mass deportations are going to take a lot of money and time.

They'll probably end up turning their massive holding facilities into work camps, maybe hang signs up with catchy slogans like "Trabajo te hace libre" or "El trabajo libera" and forbid any unfriendly reporters from seeing how the sausage is made.

Work will set you free

And what happens if he closes the border with Mexico? Is he going to disrupt trade with them too? Here in Texas an overwhelming majority of our produce is Mexican-grown

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago

Hell, in Canada we mostly have Mexican vegetables and fruits most of the year because people want to eat the same things year long instead of eating the way people did just 100 years ago...

Tbh I expect him to try to invade Mexico at some point in the next few years

"Nobody knew trade was this complex." - Trump

I'm pretty sure he said that last time.

[-] Foreigner@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Slaves. The answer is slaves. And the framework for this already exists because prison labour is legalised slavery. They have already said they want to imprison anyone they don't agree with. Given that includes all kinds of minorities and people who don't agree with them politically, they are pretty much spoiled for choice. If you are in the US and fall under either of those categories you should be looking at how to get out.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Why do you think they're relaxing child labor laws?
