As a citizen of a former EU country (UK, of course) I think that too.
I’m still salty about Brexit.
As an irish person, brexit drove up the price of shipping on ebay, so i oppose it.

22% are idiots :)
Or listening to government propaganda in Hungary
If we’re talking about the big, rich EU counties, then yes. But for poorer ones, EU has genuinely fucked some of them over via imposing austerity and offloading debts onto the working classes of those nations, often via strong arming.
Greece is an explosive example of this, being fucked over by their incompetent government, sure, but also by Troika who literally strong armed them into taking bailouts fully knowing they wouldn’t be able to pay them thanks to extreme austerity measures, leading into an even deeper crisis. When Greeks elected anti-austerity parties who resisted, Troika cut off Greek banks from emergency funding, leading them into a collapse and offered an even more predatory deal afterwards. Even when looking at the more successful crises (Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Cyprus), it’s debatable whether or not Troika did more bad than good with their imposed austerity.
Wall of text, blah blah - EU is still overall good, don’t get me wrong, but it’s idiotic to say that they’re free from criticism and anyone who does so is just deep in the propaganda.
It’d be funny if all the countries in the world started a unified concerted effort of tariffs against the US. Sure I live here, and I’d suffer, but it’d still be funny.
I think You’ll get your laugh, and USA will enter their own exclusive recession.
And Trump will claim victory somehow, and not let the pain from shooting himself in the foot, prevent him from shooting himself in the other foot too.He shot himself in the foot so many times he now has a permanent hole where bullets go through, so that way he’s not shooting himself in the foot anymore. 10D chess my friend.
well the entire EU, Mexico and Canada are boycotting so far. really hoping it causes economic hardship for amerikans.
Lets try to target red states for fun
Tariffs harm the country that imposes them. Trump will bring this upon himself.
It’s sad that those 20% are the ones who vote and all the others stay at home and don’t vote. Gotta protect our democracy like that 💪
I wonder what the remaining 26% are thinking?
Maybe: Nah we’d be better off trading with Russia?
Or: We can do everything ourselves!!
Or: Just look at UK, they are doing GREAT!!
Maybe: Fuck all that tolerance, I liked it better when we beat up LGBT and foreigners because it’s the moral thing to do.Well at least it’s a pretty big majority that realize there are benefits.
