I feel like this would have fallen firmly in the category of "things low info voters don't believe is true but TOTALLY is."

It's hard for me to psychologically accept that this is pretty much how it's always been.

We can have a better world. But we can't until we all know this deep in our bones and refuse to ever let it happen again.

And made life more difficult for marginalized people while making the rich richer.

There should be no confusion in the future about what you get with the GOP.

Moral panics:

- kids getting top surgery
- D&D causing satanism

- campus liberals being mean

Moral crises:

- Epstein and his pedophile buddies

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders.

Aluminum is an ADJUVANT.

It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine.

That’s it.

The context:

"Them" = another country he now can't put tariffs on.

"The Country" = that country that he is allowed to destroy with embargos and such but not allowed to put tariffs on.

Still not great but slightly better than what I thought he was saying from simply reading the quote.
