As winter turns to spring in 2026, American politics is experiencing a bit of economic-messaging déjà vu from the Trump administration.

Much like last year at this time, the president has leapt headlong into a major new undertaking that threatens to rock an already-wobbly economy. And much like last year, the administration is asking Americans to accept some “short-term pain” for promised long-term gain.

In 2025, it was tariffs. In 2026, it’s the war with Iran.

    You’ve been downvoted but I agree.

    The streets should be being protested by the second amendment groups if no one else, yet it’s just minor protests with a few bigger ones thrown in every 6 months or so.

    I keep on saying that a dementia riddled, orange child rapist, shitty reality TV star, 6 timed bankruptcy champion, and confirmed rapist, pants shitter is overtaking their whole country and putting his Own Brand™ version of the Gestapo on the streets to murder their fellow country people and there’s hardly any real major protests about it.
