Lol. I hate how much this is like 1984 because I dislike people using it as an example all of the time. But between this and the “America First” shit, wherein tariffs are being levied against everyone, the logical conclusion is that Trump wants to close down the US, go self-reliant, and have citizens be too placated by propaganda to do anything about it.
However, this is a shitty idea and it won’t go to plan, so he’ll just end up with stupid people who can’t even work the factories needed to not have this culminate in a mass economic disaster. Anyone smart enough to care should leave the country ASAP because it won’t get better. Other countries should be revamping their refugee programs to benefit from the brain drain.
Sure, there will always be exceptions. And if you can afford therapy and medication then that definitely increases your chances.
