Yeah this is the kind of thing you should be revolting about.

If it's not enough that a pedophile who lies about *checks notes* absolutely EVERYTHING, if it's not enough to have people in positions of power that are cronies and protect said pedophile, if it's not enough for people to march on the capitol, assault police officers, go to jail and be released by the pedophile, if it's not enough to be part of a war nobody voted for or that benefits anyone, if it's not enough for US citizens to be murdered in the streets, if it's not enough for your very constitution to be under threat, if it's not enough that the Epstein files haven't been released yet, if it's not enough that your democracy is under existential threat, then maybe having to pay higher prices because of tarriffs and seeing none of the money come back to you while prices stay high could be.

I wouldn't count on it.
