Oh wow who could have fucking predicted
my prediction is that they'll eventually just start saying "we DID lower prices. for everything" even though every graph will show that the prices have perpetually gone up. for everything. and all the complete fucking moron troompa loompa voters will 100% believe that prices have gone down
The graphs will indeed show that prices dropped, but that part will be in Sharpie ink.
"The price to buy a Banana has fallen from 3 Dogecoin to 1 Dogecoin. Who cares if it went up in dollars?"
Gotta love living in 1984: The Reality Show.
For sure this is going to happen; the only thing they took away from this election was that they can say whatever they want and push back on any kind of fact checking and they’ll just get rewarded for it.
The absolute crazy thing is the energy prices. He said he'd cut energy prices in HALF within 12 months. Then he said it again. And again. He like quadrupled down on this and people actually bought it. This dude legitimately promised that all energy prices would be fucking halved in 12 months. I will eat my entire piece of shit car if that happens lol
Like... with a fork?
I figure I go with The Lotito plan, break it down into small pellets and just take it piece by piece with some mineral oil 😄
Do you want him to eat it with his hands like an animal?
