All joking aside, the one thing I have noticed over the years about rightwingers (and the further right the truer it gets), is that they have no sense of the need for BALANCE. Be it policy, philosophy, economics, social/racial issues, etc. Right-wingers believe it is their way or the highway, and alternative views be damned.

The most glaring example currently is Trump and MAGAs totally unbalanced (and unmeasured) approach to the economy. In their eyes (as set forth by their orange messiah) one size chainsaw, in this case TARIFFS, fits all... While completing ignoring the fact that the global economy is a finely balanced and lubricated machine. (Although I know the word "global" is a dirty word to right-wingers.) The global economy is designed so that everyone, most definitely the USA, is able to get everything they require at somewhat reasonable prices. Because MAGAs suspect "unfairness" in certain of the policies needed to maintain the balance, they prefer to just tear the whole thing down and declare victory, while also declaring the rest of the world will regret not falling in line. In this case, never mind the fact that a progressive tariff system that is currently weighted against the USA is needed to keep the rest of the complicated economic machinery running smoothly. To maintain BALANCE.

MAGA is just so ------- ridiculous and disconnected from reality. In this case, economic reality. If you doubt me, just HONESTLY look at what is happening all around us since Trump initiated his poorly thought out global tariff assault. It has been just one fiasco after another affecting pretty much every sector of the world economy. Smarter people than I have tried to explain this to MAGAts on this site. To no avail. The truth is, most of them really are too stupid to understand the need for such balance.
