Wow - Who Knew Hitler Had Tariffs, Too?

I spent a few moments this morning feeling a little burst of renewed optimism that things were going to be okay.

That, economically, we were settling down and strong enough to ride this tariff and trade roller coaster out.

I mean, the jobs report came in pretty darn encouraging – a bigger gain than expected, but when you dug into the numbers, those had real signs of progress already.

Multiple job holders fell in Apr at the same time jobs grew and the number of people employed also rose – all good signs! pic.twitter.com/EO1JmbNnH4

There were a few gems in the GDP report from the other day, too.

HOLD ON:
Did no one else notice in today’s GDP report that interest on the federal debt DECLINED for the 1st time since…

While annual inflation rates were reaccelerating at the end of Biden’s term, Trump has managed to bring them down fast; as M/M inflation collapses, the Y/Y figures are coming down too – great news: pic.twitter.com/oj2MW8HTKI

China’s blinking left and right on several things, and the EU is quietly folding on item after item, desperate for a deal.

– Bourbon
– Wine
– Dairy

from tariff list after Trump threatened 200% counter-tariffs!

Just like China, the EU is CRACKING! But the EU is actually trying to make a deal. pic.twitter.com/MYZHWLvFSw

Yeah, I was feeling pretty good until The Atlantic decided it wanted to make us all feel pretty bad.

These ‘history lessons’ no one asked for are getting a little out of hand with progressives, don’t you think?

I mean, did they assign this guy the story, like, ‘Hey, Jimmy Olsen! Go Google and see if Adolf ever used tariffs! Gimme 1500 words how bad it was if he did.’

Or did he come with this fever dream crap all on his own and they told him to run with it and were already on the phone to the art department for a dreay illustration.?

EVERYONE I DON’T LIKE IS HITLER

As you can imagine, people are having a grand time mocking these pathetic, mewling Gollums as they grasp their Precious TDS to their sunken, hairless chests and snarl if someone reaches toward them.

HITLER NAZI HITLER HITLER

What’s the point?

The constant drumming of the message into the soulless goons hovering around the fringes of the rallies, slobbering over AOC’s booty in her jeans, fantasizing what a hero they are as they key a Cybertruck, lob a Molotov cocktail, hunt down and beat up Jews, or watch for a money shot at any Trump official, maybe even the Bad Orange Hitler himself.

Because he IS Hitler – same-same they’ve been assured by the best people, time and again.

The left is so out of ideas, violence is really all they have left.

They are hoping that someone will take out Trump, and then a color revolution will break out, pushing Vance out.

I know that it has all the logic of a plan from the Underpants Gnomes, but it’s all they got.

That’s the point.

Feeding the madness is so the point that The Atlantic itself doesn’t remember that they were once against it. The futility of it.

The revolting disrespect to the millions of people murdered by that monster, and who were killed because of him, and the inexcusable dilution of evil into an infantile toss-off epithet.

Ah, the progressive elites – such top-lofty intellectuals, to whom we of the knuckle-dragging classes are supposed to genuflect and express our thanks for allowing us to breathe their rarified air.

And yet they are so bereft of anything remotely individual or original when it comes to expressing their thoughts. There are no more profound, esoteric musings to delve into, no utterances that make the listener richer for having heard them, no cerebral arguments to ponder over justifying their fevered insistence that the Bad Orange Man is to be disdained and rejected, and why he must be exorcised from the national consciousness at any cost.

It’s always the same, tired old hateful screed from every last one of them.

With a Hitler cherry on top, if they are to be taken super-duper seriously or printed in a rag that feeds their inner beasts, such as The Atlantic.

They can’t help themselves. They just can’t do it. Everything has to be Hitler. It’s such an impoverished worldview. They can’t just say that the tariffs are a terrible idea that has been implemented capriciously and dishonestly—which is the truth. It has to be Hitler, always. https://t.co/CtSCfBImfW

Dreary. How do you live your life with a scratch in the record so deep the needle can never, ever get over it to finish a song?
