I'm starting to question the purpose of the RealID because I was given the distinct impression that it was proof of citizenship within the US when I got it, the way regular State driver's licenses USED to be. Since they gave regular State driver's licenses to illegals, the RealID was SUPPOSED to correct this deficiency. But now, come to find out, it's not acceptable proof of US citizenship, even though I had to provide proof of citizenship in order to get it. And somehow, the illegals have RealID too. So why the FUCK did we even do this retarded exercise in the first place?

It's the retard treadmill. Drivers licenses were proof of citizenship, so Democrats have then to illegals. Then in order to declare who is actually a citizen a new ID was created, which was given to illegals. It happens again and again.

everyone not in the MAGA bubble sees it as embarrassing, because Trump had all this big talk about "America finally putting its foot down" by doing big boy tariffs to the rest of the world, only to start gradually walking it back not long after, because shockingly, this might actually be a retarded idea after all.

On 4chan too... This is insane. Someone running a lotta bot accounts really doesn't care if they're found out anymore. That or this is a really BIG blunder.

Like “White dudes for Harris” or the whole Kamala discord bot farm that astroturfed X and Reddit.

It does seem like ActBlue is at least trying to mask their posts behind the greentext but it still comes across as shitlib as it gets.

White people's sense of shame has been turned into a weapon against them by people with no concept of shame. To move forward we need to acknowledge that, and recognize that just because they don't feel shame they do not have the right to our homes and inheritance from our ancestors.

Kind of semantic, but I would replace "shame" with "guilt" here. Guilt is reflexive and internal, shame is societally imposed. They understand shame very well, in fact it's all the understand.

what do you want me to use instead, the Donald Trump dicksucking club?

I still haven't heard any good arguments against the fact that he walked back btw.

Even though you're obviously not acting in good faith, I'll give you a serious answer anyway.
Literally everything in the world runs on computers. They're right behind water and oil in terms of what keeps modern society functioning.
For as much fun as it is to meme about Apple fanboys having to shell out twice as much for their goyslop products, a price hike on electronics that severe in such a short timeframe without giving a cool-off period to allow manufacturing to make its way back to America is how you trigger a recession so bad that you lose both the midterms and 2028 because no one will care about the long-term plan when they can't run their businesses due to lack of electronic access.
I already addressed the fact that literally all other tariffs remain unchanged and how little electronics actually impact Chinese exports in an earlier response, so it's not my fault if you can't read.

He walked back the tariff on electronics. Do you know who stands to gain the most from that? Taiwan. For every dollar China makes assembling and shipping an IPhone, Taiwan makes $15 for producing the parts. Taiwan and Trump have been doing a lot of negotiations and this change is more of a favor for Taiwan than China.

They can't do Real ID so I'll use my passport card at airports since it fits in my wallet like any other card.

Go get a full passport (the "book" kind). They're phasing these passport cards out. It used to be they were acceptable as proof of ID and citizenship for border crossings with Canada and Mexico, but they've quietly stopped accepting them for that purpose. So the cards are becoming novelties without much practical use anymore.

The airports might still accept them right now but remember -- they're professional hall monitors, eager to find any excuse to "disqualify" previously valid routines and documents. The instant a checkpoint goon catches wind that "oh no they're phasing those out" you can bet they'll start hassling people who present these.

Source: routine, friendly conversations with LEO I'm on good terms with when I travel through certain airports.

For example, the only parts of an iPhone made in China are the case and battery.

The case can be easily made by any machine shop with a CNC mill; Apple famously bought Foxconn their mills because they didn't have any.

There are competitive American manufacturers of batteries, with the most famous being Tesla.

The chip is made in Taiwan.
The camera is made in Japan.
The screen is made in South Korea.
The RAM is made in the United States.
The SSD is made in Japan.
The glass is made in the United States.
The modem is made in either South Korea or Taiwan (newer ones have an Apple-designed modem made by TSMC).

All the Taiwanese parts could be made in Arizona at TSMC's new fabs there and many will be as where the most recent and advanced fab is will bounce between Taiwan and the US each generation. What the MSM didn't cover is that all of TSMC's major customers (including Apple) demanded that they set up fabs in the US, so the CHIPS act was (as Trump has said) a complete waste of money as it paid them to do what they already planned on doing.

Apple could easily make the iPhone in the US but Tim Cook wasted a trillion dollars building factories in China and the sunk cost fallacy has been keeping them there.
