Way to contribute productive discourse to the comment actually doing something and proving they put their money where their mouth is.

Trump's propaganda engine will spin this so they can say, "See?! Real Nazis want to kill Trump, so obviously he's not fascist!"

Agreed, it's an awful headline

Heh. With how they're taking over the FEC and other election regulatory bodies in red states, I am not optimistic there'll be normal/fair elections in the near future. Not that the pre-existing gerrymandering was fair to begin with in many states, but it's going to get worse.

You could look into it yourself, but here's a general overview on the US response to disinformation:

The Democrats could've been pushing harder to address such a serious problem, but they didn't. And here we are.

Like I said, they're not entirely to blame, but they're not blameless.

I don't disagree, I'm just pointing out that no one wants this and China isn't going to just magically replace their biggest trading partner overnight, which is why they were legitimately trying to work out a new deal originally.

Trust me, I fully agree the US will be the biggest loser from all of this.

I didn't say censorship. They could've regulated social media as actual Media outlets, which puts them on the hook for libel lawsuits if blatantly fake disinformation is advertised on their platforms. In other words, they have to follow the same rules as traditional media outlets.

"only 15%"? That's a huge percentage when you look at global trade. In 2023, their next biggest export partner is Hong Kong at 8%, which is now part of China. After that it's Japan at 5%, followed by South Korea at 4.5%.

The point is, China doesn't want this trade war at all, and neither do we. Trump and Co. are complete morons that are fucking up the global economy for nonsensical reasons. Yes, other countries can eventually establish new trade deals without the US, and they likely will, but let's not pretend they all can just bounce back within a few months if these idiotic shenanigans continue.

Certainly, but we're the biggest consumer economy by a long shot. Trying to replace roughly $600 billion in exports isn't an easy ask, especially since the next biggest economic bloc after the US and China, the EU, has been trying to move away from over reliance on China for years.

They're not blameless. They're not entirely to blame, but they could've regulated social media to dampen disinformation when they had the chance.
