I’ve noticed that people are often just lying as well. I’ve encountered people who will argue that someone else is paying them when it’s convenient to hand-wave away a tax increase for the sake of an argument, and later complaining about the same tariffs. It’s very easy to be this lazy when you’re playing Politics: Tribes. There’s all sorts of dumb-shit slogans and obviously wrong memes about making china or Mexico pay, or cat boxes. They don’t care because it isn’t what’s important, it’s just expedient to parrot some shibboleths.
