      BRICS literally paid off enough US politicians to put Donald Trump (a Russian asset) in charge of the country twice.

      Democracies are inherently fragile to corruption, but are objectively better for the avg person than any dictatorship.

    The world is facing mass extinction and rather than strong leadership in the U.S. we see Biden cool with plastic pollution and the so-called liberal candidate cheerleading fracking.

    Trump is worse of course, but that doesn’t mean the Democrats are the good guys.

    Yup. China is able to turn the tariffs around to impact US businesses more than Chinese.

    China will relocate consumer-ready production to other nations to avoid the price hike of the tariffs. The Chinese-manufactured textiles, plastics, and components used in domestic products will still be impacted by the tariffs, resulting in increased cost of domestically produced products using Chinese materials.
