A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“Despite the attempt of right-wing media to hide the [economic] crisis, more than half of Americans have heard unfavorable business news coverage of the government’s policies. While MAGA continues to approve of Trump, he’s rapidly losing support among the rest of the coalition that put him into office.”</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrumpTradeWars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTradeWars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TradeDeficitMyth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TradeDeficitMyth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TrumpTariffs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpTariffs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/EconomicSlowdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EconomicSlowdown</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/RecessionRisk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RecessionRisk</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DemocracyVsOligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyVsOligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LettersFromAnAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LettersFromAnAmerican</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-4-2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">heathercoxrichardson.substack.</span><span class="invisible">com/p/april-4-2025</span></a></p>
A Guy Named Brian (he/him)<p>“Pragmatically, there are two things that explain these idiotic taxes.
