I don't see why any country would give into Trump with his tariff threat over Greenland. The tariffs always hurt his supporters the most, not the countries he's tariffing. It does make you wonder how expensive prices will have to be before he loses all of his supporters.

TACO is a great way to describe Trump but it's worth noting that Trump always ends up doing what his donors and investors tell him to do. If they told him to go with zero tariffs or they'll stop donating to him, he would switch to zero tariffs and make an excuse to justify backing down

That 30% are the ones who see dictators as "true" leaders. They worship people like Putin and Kim Jong Un. To them, a leader controlling the people in the country is a sign of strength. You will not convince that 30% otherwise. You have to convince 70% to vote against dictators.

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

On top of that video, Scientific American has pointed out that the US is already halfway to becoming a full-blown dictatorship. The sad thing is that 30% of all people in the US support the idea of a dictator. Those are the people who support Trump becoming one.

Anyone who wants to understand why Trump uses terms like "fake news" and why all dictators are "anti-abortion" should watch this video. This is not an anti-Trump video itself; it talks about dictators in general, including how they come to power youtube.com/watch?v=vK6fALsenmw&fea…

After the 90-day pause was announced, stocks soared. Tesla stock is back over $310 a share, even though Tesla sales keep falling.

Trump caved and lowered Chinese tariffs to 30%. So it went from 145% to 80% to 30%. Meanwhile, China lowered its tariffs to 10% on US goods. The obvious reason he did this is that he knows the tariffs on Chinese goods will raise prices for US consumers. The 90-day pause also says market manipulation

The weirdest part of the conversation is the fact that the person knows I use trusted sources, that I don't get all my info from social media or “trust me bro” sources. It just shows you some people regardless of political affiliation, only start to care when they're directly impacted.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I was talking to someone who didn't want to believe Trump is trying to take away power from the judicial branch and told me what I was saying is prolly not true. When I showed them that Stephen Miller himself said it, it was a quick switch from not true to fearmongering.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Some believe that only Trump supporters are an issue. The reality is, some liberals don't want to acknowledge the truth as well. It's not that they think Trump is great; they just don't want to believe Trump is as bad as he has been. They want to believe it’s just fearmongering

The answer is obvious, the age appearance matters more than the physical age. That's why I laugh when people make a huge deal about ages. Both men and women are going to choose a person who looks their age over someone who looks older. The age you look is the only age people care about

100

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

But this begs the question... Would you rather date someone your age that looks like your parents age or date someone older who looks your age? Wouldn't it seem creepier for a woman to date a guy who looks her dad’s age than date a guy 20 years older who looks her age?

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

I was arguing with a MAGA Millennial, and he told me to watch what I was saying because I'm too young to understand things. I told him that I'm 48 and that he is 35, how exactly does that make me too young if I'm 13 years older than him? His judgment was based on I looked younger than him.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 11/05/2025

Millennials are back at it again, going back to their denial of reality by pointing fingers at Gen Z. Claiming Gen Z is aging faster than previous generations, while ignoring the fact that they are aging even faster than Gen Z. Some Millennial men at 35 look as old as my dad did at 55.

Habeas corpus predates the founding of the US. It dates back to 1215, and it was intended to prevent the King of England from having dictatorial powers and ignoring the people's will. It has only been suspended four times in US history, and two of them happened in the Philippines.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

There is now talk that if the courts keep ruling against Trump that his administration will suspend Habeas corpus. Trump will literally take power from the courts and congress and have total power to do whatever the hell he wants including killing people who talk badly about him like Putin in Russia

If the Pope truly has to follow the teachings of God and the Bible, then they can't be anti-immigration. And they can’t support the anti-Christ. Trump is about as anti-Christian as you can get. He doesn't love thy neighbor, he doesn't spread love, and he is anti-non white immigrants.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

MAGA proves they don't follow the teachings of God or Jesus when they call the Pope “woke” for following the teachings of Jesus. Jesus was pro-immigration. Being anti-immigration is, in fact, anti-Jesus. So it's not the Pope being “woke,” it's more like MAGA aren't religious.

Imagine needing a wheelchair and thanks to Trump you have to pay more than double for a new one compared to what you paid for your previous one. The one woman paid almost $6,000 for her wheelchait and $3,500 of it was due to Trump’s tariffs

npr.org

Americans are already seeing Trump's tariffs kick in. They sent in receipts to prove it

There's new tariffs on almost everything that is imported. Some of that increased cost is being eaten by exporters in other countries, but a lot of the higher prices are being picked up by Americans, ...

Until I see a Kamala Harris or a Gavin Newsom join Bernie and AOC on stage fighting to stop the Billionaires, I see no reason to vote for them. Because not joining them in their fight means they're fighting for the billionaires not for American citizens.

010

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

People like Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom will never fight for basic free healthcare or even basic affordable healthcare. We need to stop settling for the lesser of two evils and start voting for people who fight for the average American, not for the billionaires, and corporate interests

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

You will never see someone like Kamala Harris or Gavin Newsom tell voters they will get money out of politics. They will never say they're going to make the 1% pay 75% of all taxes. They will never fight for a true livable wage or make all drug prices match what they are in European countries.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Kamala Harris isn't a bad person, BUT most people want change, and Kamala Harris is unwilling to offer it. Corporate Democrats would rather keep losing elections than get money out of politics. That's why their messaging is always “Vote for us if you care about Democracy.”

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Kamala Harris lost partially because she refused to go against the status quo. She never fought to get money out of politics, and she never claimed she would force the 1% to pay 75% of all taxes like they used to do. Hell, she wouldn't even condemn Israel because she didn't want to offend AIPAC

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Of course if you know MAGA well then you know how MAGA businesses that have been expose are acting right now. They're claiming someone else added their businesses to the app without their knowledge which isn't how the app works. You have to personally add your business

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

What was an app where businesses could secretly claim to be MAGA, is now being used to help people avoid those MAGA businesses and it will cost those businesses far more customers than they gained from using the app.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

Of course, the problem is MAGA is too dumb to think about it, that unless there was a way to make it so that only MAGA could use the app, what MAGA used to find MAGA businesses, liberals could use the same app to avoid MAGA businesses they might've never known was MAGA before time

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

The way the app was meant to work is that MAGA business owners could submit their business in the app so MAGA customers could avoid shopping at "woke" stores and only shop at "anti-woke" stores and only the anti-woke group would know which stores are on their side.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 03/05/2025

The MAGA business app "Public Square" is more popular than ever thanks to liberals. It was created for MAGA so they could find MAGA businesses. Liberals have now turned it into an app as a way to avoid places that promote hate

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

According to PolitiFact, Trump has told no truths and only one half-truth since taking office the rest of the things he says are false, mostly false or pants on fire.

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

You know how MAGA used to go to higher-end grocery stores to pretend groceries were higher under Biden than they were and are now going to the discounted meat section to claim groceries are now cheaper under Trump? At this pace discounted meat under Trump will cost more than fresh meat under Biden

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

The sad thing is that MAGA not only gave Trump credit for Biden's economy when Biden was still president but they will also blame Biden for any bad thing that happens under Trump. Because they can't admit Trump is weak and they can't blame Trump for anything, they can only praise him

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Trump tried to take credit on Jan 20th for Biden's economy, now he's trying to blame Biden for the economy under Trump. If you're taking credit for an economy before you became president then you have to accept blame if things go bad while you're president.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

The question is how many of his supporters are so deep into the cult they're willing to go into a depression because of Trump and still not blame him for it and still support him and believe his lie that in the end, it will all work out.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

So after lying about prices falling the moment he gets elected and that tariffs will be paid by the country, he is now admitting the truth which is tariffs will increase prices for consumers. He is counting on his voter base to defend him and blindly accept paying more

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Trump has now publicly admitted his tariffs will increase the cost of goods saying maybe children will only get a couple of dolls instead of 20 and maybe parents will have to pay a few dollars more.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

I know if MAGA accepted the truth that Trump is weak and insecure and can only handle things that make him look good, they wouldn't be able to see him as an Alpha male. They would have to see him the same way everyone else already does which is a weak and pathetic man.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Maybe Trump just can't handle criticism, looking bad or losing, and needs to take credit for anything that makes him look good. Has MAGA considered that? Because that's the only logical reason Trump sees things as good or bad based on how it makes him look at any given moment.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

How can the polls be legit when they favor Trump yet the same polls be fake when they aren't favorable, they're fake polls? How can the media be trusted when the articles are favorable to Trump but fake when they're not?

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Tell me how any election Trump wins is fair but any he loses is rigged? How can the stock market that was already going up during the previous administration be because of Trump yet when the stock market crashes after Trump is president then it's the previous administration's fault?

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Every true Christian knows the original Bible verse is man shall not lie with boy. Someone along the way decided to change it to man shall not lie with man. Changing the wording to fit a narrative also should be seen as a ticket to hell. Not be seen as a gospel because you hate gay people.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

For instance, no part of the Christian Bible says it's a sin to be gay or trans. No part of the Bible claims people who are different from you should be deported to another country. No part of the Bible that says abortion is illegal or that you're exempt from things you don't like.

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

You shouldn't be allowed to claim you're religion unless you follow all the teachings of your faith. You are not religious if you pick and choose what parts of your faith to follow and which parts to ignore based on convenience. You also can't add things that don't exist to justify hate.

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

Claiming an election was stolen solely because the results didn't favor you should be illegal. Freedom of speech should be consistent. We need to agree on what free speech is and everyone needs to accept it. Because it's not free speech to say what you want and then ban speech you don't like

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

One thing that should be obvious to all is the minority should not have a say over the majority. That means there should never be laws that limit the voting power of the majority to give more power to the minority. Gerrymandering should be illegal. Throwing out votes just to win should be illegal

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

The citizens of each country should determine how the country is run and vote for the person who will run it the way they want. A select few should never have influence over anything and I'm shocked that there are voters who think a billionaire's vote should have more weight than their own

000

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

I think the main issues with the world in general are selfishness, power, and greed. If everyone thought about each other rather than themselves, we could truly have world peace. Politics wouldn't be toxic because voting would be based on the voters, not on the political agendas

Matt Perkins @mattxperkins.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

BlueSky seems fine with dying rather than offering what its users want. Kind of like how corporate Democrats would rather lose elections than get money out of politics.
