My only problem with #corporate "absorbing" #tariffs is ?

What #election cycle has #Corporate "decided" to #absorb anything?

Seems rather #communist to be forced to absorb anything as the middle class absorbed all the damage from #Covid.

#Capitalism was not absorbing anything during the #Biden administration.
Corporate America has a #truth problem.

Pointing to findings of the Catalist poll about the gender gap in the 2014 election, Lakshya Jain notes how badly wrong the AP VoteCast study got things when it looked at the role gender played in this election:

"Though [Trump] gained just two points of ground with women, he gained nearly 11 points with men, widening the gender divide by 9 percent on margin. This marks its sharpest increase in at least the past decade of U.S. politics."

"These changes were seen across racial and other demographic groups. …

The gender gap among white voters, the report said, was the highest ever at 12 points.

'While the gender gap increased across all age cohorts in 2024, it was by far the largest among young voters (Gen Z and Millennials) and also the largest for the group in recent elections since Catalist has tracked detailed data,' the report said."

What happened in the 2024 election? Kate Riga and Nicole Lafond report on the just-released Catalist report:

"This year’s headline: Men, especially young men, swung hard to the right. ...

The largest driver of [the gender] gap [in voting in 2024], the report said, seems to be men aged 18-29.

Men moved towards Trump in 2024, from 48% support for Biden in 2020 to 42% support for Harris in 2024."

An #election2024 political donor to #Trump is in direct talks with #Hamas.
#terrorists
This is evidence of incitement during the #2024election.
"The talks have been led on the US side by Bishara Bahbah, the American-Palestinian who led the group “Arab Americans for Trump”
"#Bahbah remotely exchanged messages with Hamas earlier this year in what became a critical backchannel to secure Israeli-American hostage Edan Alexander."

#Republicans fail to pass their tax bill as they avoid mention of "Allah Force One" gaffe and get hammered with a US credit downgrade.

#Republicans fan out across US media this weekend, attempting to shift the focus to #Biden (retired) and the #2024election

Never Forget:
In 2020 #President Biden was the only #Democrat to defeat #MAGA.

“You know George,” the assistant guiding Biden told the president, trying to remind him who was in front of him ‒ one of the world's most famous actors and the host of the lucrative event Biden was attending."
“Yeah, yeah,” #Biden said. “Thank you for being here.”

@MalcolmNance "Have we lost our minds?" Well, since you asked, in the #USpol #2024election 70+ million #Americans (less than a majority) voted for the leader of the #MAGA cult, #DonaldTheDeplorable to be the first #American dictator.

There are as many brains as there are people in a cult, but is only ONE 'mind'; that of ‘#DearLeader.’ So basically the answer to the question is 'Yes'.

Minor point; the minds were not "lost", they were subjugated without #resistance.
