    It will at least be extremely funny to watch all the right wing gamer bro chuds freak the fuck out when an immediate consequence of their actions will be that gaming pc components instantly inflate 50% in price.

    Glad I already got my Steam Deck, fuck.

      Bold of you to assune they won’t just blame Dems because it isn’t like reality matters.

        20 years into the trump dynasty dictatorship, they will still be saying “thanks Biden” to every financial inconvenience.

        I just said they would freak out.

        Who they end up blaming is between them and their god emperor, I guess.

        Fuck the dems, too. Less people voted this election, than the last election. People didn’t bother to go vote that should have.

      yep! and by then it’s too late. they’ve already shot themselves in the foot, they just haven’t felt the pain yet.

      edit - and honestly, if we were actually producing all this stuff locally and competitively, I would be OK with these chinese tariffs since it would encourage buying USA-made. The problem is that we arent, and probably won’t be for a while. we’d all suffer in the meantime.

      This post is my reminder that I should probably upgrade my graphics card this December, rather than waiting for any other time.

        I guess there will be many people thinking that, driving up demand->increasing prices before any tariffs even exist.

      I really really hope that they will enact their economic agenda before their racist agenda. When they denaturalize and deport citizens, half of us will be cheering (unfortunately). When the price of electronics/ cars increases it distributes harm to all.

      Fuck, I’ve been putting off getting a new laptop, but hell this is probably going to influence that decision.

      Probably should get on it and buy it now ahead of day 1
