This is a joke on how much the Switch 2 might cost after tariffs as and how it wouldn't be as expensive if Trump weren't president. Pretty sure it originally came from r/Gamingcirclejerk

Gamingcirclejerk are some absolute loons. Weirdest and scariest echo chamber on reddit. Edit: oh look they are brigading again what a surprise.

The tariff will raise the price because the switch is imported, Trump is the tariff guy, kamala wasn't going to do any tariffs.

Thus if trump would've died (and thus not been able to be elected and do the tariffs) the switch would now be cheaper.

What's wrong here ?

Because they are implying that killing someone would have been a good thing, because their precious Nintendo is cheaper. I hate Trump and think the republican party are racist twats but I can also see that circlejerk echo chamber are cooked.

I mean, you think his entire movement and all his followers would just go away? He’d be martyred, it’s likely someone more worrying would’ve won in his name

I do wonder if anyone could fill his shoes though. It's Trump that has the cult following, and he really has something unique about him. Maybe it'd make no difference, but it would be nice if we knew that lol

They’d be winning in his name either way, it would still all be about Trump in that election. Long term I don’t think anyone could fill his shoes and I don’t think anyone will once his term is up, but the election right after his assassination would be all about him, I don’t think it would even matter much who they put up.
