I was thinking smallest theoretical unit. I knew I had made a mistake and couldn’t think of the correct term. And I wondered if anyone was going to correct me. I’m happy you did.

Impressive since most thought a Scaramuchi was a fundamental unit

I don’t buy that completely. I had a to travel to a very liberal part of the US during trump 1… I would say the liberal patriotism (what some have better called American exceptionalism) was still thriving. While I fully understand people’s belief have gone down hill over the last few years (like your source says), I think it was more sudden than that. Also I’m not sure it won’t bounce back and revert to mean under a different government.

I said people were triggered cause it was on -3 or -5 or when I put my phone down yesterday.

I think it was letterman that started his show with “from New York, the greatest city in the world” that they unreflectively cheered for years … which I think is an example of how brainwashed even the more liberal Americans have been over the last 50 years. Their entire culture has been leading to this point.

They were never the good guys.

One of the first things I learned about climate change in the 90s was the US didn’t ratify Kyoto—and Bush withdrew in 01. Never the good guys. We can go back further (Allende, Nicaragua—not the good guys there either).

But still, even many liberal leaning people, think they are the greatest. And they laughably think this is a blip.

Edit: this post definitely triggered some Americans.

Any adult who votes alt right should not just be welcomed for realising their hatred is wrong. Cause they’ll be as fickle next time they get an easy “solution” offered for their problems.

Obviously they shouldn’t be shunned forever. But I wish there were more consequences than “whoopsie daisy I accidentally aligned with fascists”

I said they are not my favourite people which kind of covers everything you are saying. You can mention them without having to preface everything wrong with them (and I wrote that sentence explicitly to not come across like I’m defending them and having answer these types of posts… but here we are).

I said it’s how they are coping with uncertainty. That’s all. Nothing more.

These acronyms were made by finance people dealing with the uncertainty. Basically pretend trump doesn’t exist so financial uncertainty becomes less volatile.

I understand they have their problems. And they are not my favourite people in the world.

But given the amount of noise in the media, having a taco/nacho approach is sometimes a good filter to apply to media drama around Trumps venting online.

To be clear, I’m not saying disengage from following world events. I mean you don’t need to follow them like a soap opera.

Nacho is apparently the new mantra in the stock markets.

Not a chance Hormuz opens.

From the people who gave us taco.
