It’s not going to get here soon enough, if it arrives at all, to save your ass. Tons is an odd measurement of fuel over barrels but: a barrel of diesel weighs about 300lb. 300,000 * 2000 (lb per ton) = 600,000,000 lbs of diesel / 300 = 2 million barrels. The US uses about 3.5 million barrels a day. Even if the tons are metric it’s still just a days worth. Sorry Donnie you are a day late and a dollar short…
Why? The forces behind MAGA and Trump have been part of most democracies their entire history. They percolate up every one in a while then disappear into the background noise until next time. McCarthyism looked like the end of the world as well just to disappear just as fast as it came about. Cults of personality rarely outlast the death or disgrace of the founder.
What do mean by majority? 51% is a hell of a lot different than 80%. I think much of MAGA is more populist than ideological. Some will disappear, some will follow the next populist to come a long and that populist could have different ideas that they latch on to. Compare the “tea party” of Ron Paul to the co-opted Tea Party that came later…
True of all democracies. Canada has it’s share of fruitcakes and could suffer a similar insanity and elect one…
I think Canada, Iran and most of the rest of the world have figured out that Trump is six months away from being the lamest of ducks and two and a half years of being out of office entirely. Wait for the storm of insanity to pass and deal with the aftermath then.
The next President of the USA will definitely have to go on a serious suck butt tour to heal the damage this administration is causing…
I figure a Zacharia is the metric equivalent…
