Trump Supporters: What Do I Care if Eggs Are More Expensive?!?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All right, my only follow-up question.
Because the domestic production on RAM will take years, i.e.
i.e. auto manufacturing and steel production, won't tariffs just increase expenses for consumers who have no alternative in the short term?
But here's the thing.
Bye.
Thank you.
Here's the thing.
And this is a tipping point.
It's really, really important to understand.
It's not just in America, but it's in the West as a whole.
It's in the West as a whole.
People are so disgusted by what their countries have become that economic considerations are no longer the forefront.
You can see this in social media if you look carefully.
You know, the Democrats will try any key, right?
The manipulators will try any key to open the lock to control your heart.
So they'll say, well, you know, the price of this is going to go up.
And people are like, I don't care!
My country's going to shit!
I don't care!
Fucking eggs are more expensive!
It's the end of the Roman Empire, bro!
I don't give a shit!
I can't afford a house.
I can't get a fucking job.
I can't get my life started.
Video games are getting tiring.
Boring.
Even the video games are ugly and retarded now.
I got nothing!
But the price of eggs might go up.
I don't care!
This is my last chance at reform before burning the whole fucking thing to the ground!
I don't care!
My expenses go up and you should run.
What do I care if the price of houses go up if you need half a fucking million dollars worth of income to afford one?
I don't care!
What do I care if the price of cars go up if I can't afford a car?
I don't care.
People are there.
A lot of people, especially younger people.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
People are like, I have no economy.
I have no future.
I have no capacity to consistently date, to settle down, to get married, to get property.
I can't get a consistent job.
I mean, especially the white male thing.
A lot of white males shut out of the job market through various government-imposed quotas, right?
So, I don't care.
Why do they care?
Oh, but economically, it's like there is no economy.
For a lot of people, there's no functional economy.
There's no functional economy.
Oh, no.
It's like, so just for you and I, it's like, hey, man, if these tariffs go up, the price of Lamborghinis is going to go up like 20%.
I don't care.
I can't afford a fucking Lamborghini.
What do I care about the price of Lamborghinis?
And certainly in America, it's like, okay, so if the price of X, Y, and Z is going to go up, but I can get a job, they're fine, right?
Oh, well, you know, but if we put these tariffs up, the price of goods coming into the country is going to go up.
Yes, but I could get a job.
So I'd rather have a job and have eggs be more expensive than have eggs be cheaper and not have a fucking job.
Because if I have a job, but eggs are more expensive, I can still buy eggs.
If I don't have a job and eggs are cheaper, I can't buy eggs, right?
You see how this kind of works, right?
No, no, no.
There's a huge bunch of lean, hungry, angry young people circling at a fair distance from the economic fires with no chance to get closer.
And they're like, man, whatever the fuck happens, it's got to be an improvement because this is all a complete shitstorm and quicksand.
Like, I can't get ahead.
I can, I'm working two jobs and I still have to take in fucking roommates and I can't afford a car.
And now they're hitting congestion pricing in places, right?
So this, well, you know, things could be more expensive.
You know, can my prices go up?
It's like, I don't care.
I don't care.
I'm not going to sell my country for the sake of 15% cheaper eggs.
I'm not going to have No future, no economic future for my children for the sake of cheaper cars in the here and now.
You can't sell my children's future for the sake of 25% cheaper Canadian-made fucking cars.
No.
I make sacrifices for my offspring.
And young parents are like, I don't want to live in a country where I have...
Press 9 for English, right?
