I'm sure that China will suffer greatly from any trade war, and I'm positive the US will blink first. Chinese consumer and workers are already significantly less likely to revolt, stop working, drag their country down. The second that dollar store becomes $10store in the US, it'll be pandemonium, and they only have a single person to blame for their troubles. China? They may be doing anti-competitive trade practices and haven't been put to task, but if you ask the Chinese citizen who to blame on the trade war, it'll be trump. If you ask a US citizen who to blame for this trade war, it'll be trump.

In this case, that seems pretty accurate? Trump is indeed the one that started the trade war. External enemies are easier to unite against etc.

Our tiktok/instragram/youtube has been downright flooded with pro Chinese propaganda for the last few weeks.

Sounds like we need to really start hustling and push the lie flat movement hard on the Chinese platforms.

In the meantime Trump will find a way to blame Biden, he has already started.

Can you link some examples? I (shamefully) have been spending a lot of time on TikTok lately but it's mostly devoid of politics.

My YT home page is still the same 3-4 topics I already watch most often. No politics.

Why?

The more obvious solution is to just blame the person responsible for the mess instead of trying to get involved with other countries' politics.

Not the MAGA/Fox News Watcher, they simply don't live in reality.

Luckily the "swing" voters aren't that dumb, they will realize they fucked up voting for Trump and he's to blame even if they won't admit it.
