“I don’t care if eggs cost $20/dozen, or if milk is $8/gallon, or if my coffee isn’t Colombian, or if I don’t get flowers for Valentine’s Day. These are all material things with work arounds. I care that my country is safe, and my children are safe. That’s priority number one,” posted Twitter user “Sarah Anderson 🇺🇸” on Sunday, not responding or linking to anything, though the context was obvious.
Now canonically a “MAGA Land” article here is supposed to be sourced from the top comment on a right wing news website’s article, or be a roundup of a bunch of them often interspersed with tweets from a few at least-medium-level significant elected Republicans/MAGA media influencers. Any asshole can tweet something and other websites over-rely on said assholes for a lot of their content.
So this wasn’t the easiest editorial decision, even if Anderson’s tweet is now up to 21,000+ likes, which is far, far, far more than any Disqus comment linked here has ever gotten. Would’ve preferred to find the same sentiment in a Fox News or Breitbart reader’s comment but no luck and this “I don’t care if eggs cost $20/dozen” shit is just too damn good to pass up. They already told us, loud and fucking clear, that this is the direction they were going to go in, that inflation was the worst crisis imaginable until it became an act of patriotic sacrifice. It’s just incredible how fast it happened.
“A lot of you folks are missing the point on this, when we remove 20 million + illegal aliens, prices will come down. Don’t get so caught up in the fake news agenda, I don’t actually think eggs will be $20/doz 😅,” Anderson wrote in a follow-up tweet. So she doesn’t think the sacrifice will be required.
Anderson was even ahead of Fox News. This morning Steve Doocy set it up by asking “Ultimately, would you pay an extra quarter on a cup of coffee to send those people back?” to which co-host Brain Kilmeade exclaimed “YES!” and then later saying “I already have a payment plan for my Starbucks.” Sean Hannity’s future ex-wife then told viewers that they could just go to the grocery store and “buy the one that’s the cheapest,” that Americans could “just stop buying” Colombian coffee if convicted felon President Trump had ended up hitting Colombia with tariffs.
“You just go Taster’s Choice. It’s instant. You put it in, and you stir it,” Earhardt added.
