Thoughts and Tariffs: A Musical Tale of Finding Out After F*cking Around
First, it’s helpful to go read God’s latest dispatch about Trump supporters discovering the freezing cold taste of consequences.1 (I'll wait.)
Back? Good. Because today's Yankoboop was inspired by all the Jeremys out there suddenly realizing that when Trump said he'd hurt "those people," the call was coming from inside the house.

Here it is.
You've met Jeremy. Maybe you know a Jeremy. Perhaps you're related to a Jeremy. He's every MAGA voter who:
Posted "No handouts!" until the benefits froze
Railed against DEI until the wife lost her job
Screamed about socialism until the farm subsidies vanished
Demanded fiscal responsibility until the Medicaid card stopped working
One version of the song just wasn’t enough.

Play it here. Right here.
Why Jeremy? Why Now?
Because sometimes the only way to process the industrial-scale irony of watching people vote against their own interests is to set it to music. As God's post shows us, the Jeremys are everywhere, discovering that:
White women were the biggest DEI beneficiaries
Rural communities rely heavily on federal funding
Those "socialist" programs they hated? That was their money too
Turns out we do, in fact, live in a society
Share if you:
Know a Jeremy
Are related to a Jeremy
Have watched a Jeremy realize things
Just enjoy watching people find out after f*cking around

Thoughts and Tariffs, Jeremy
Oh Jeremy voted to own all the libs, Now his grant money's frozen like last winter's ribs. He posted "Let's go Brandon!" with so much delight, Now his Medicaid's paused and his bills are in sight! Thoughts and tariffs, dear Jeremy! Your leopard face-eating vote came through! Thoughts and tariffs, poor Jeremy! Guess that freeze is freezing you too! His wife lost her job in the DEI purge, (Who knew she was "woke" at the power company?) He's screaming on Truth Social, his feelings surge, "This isn't what Trump meant to do to ME!" Breaking News: Local man who demanded government stop helping 'those people' shocked to discover he was 'those people' all along! The tariffs hit Walmart, the prices shot high, His MAGA hat's made in China, oh my! The farm subsidies vanished, his crops in the field, Now "Let's Go Brandon" has a different feel! Thoughts and tariffs, dear Jeremy! Your monkey's paw wish has come true! Thoughts and tariffs, poor Jeremy! Guess that swamp included you! This is NOT what I voted for! Well actually, Jeremy, it's EXACTLY what you voted for... But he was supposed to hurt THEM, not US! Womp womp.
Thoughts and Tariffs, Jeremy (Hick-Hop Remix)
Jeremy posted "No handouts!" all day, Till his disability check went away! Screamed about freeloaders taking his share, Now his food stamps won't process - life just ain't fair! He's crying on Facebook, "This must be fake news!" While shopping for ramen at Dollar Tree blues! "I'm one of the good ones!" he types through his tears, As his "Let's Go Brandon" shirt's made overseas! Thoughts and tariffs, dear Jeremy! Your freedom's now costing you double! Thoughts and tariffs, poor Jeremy! Guess bootstraps are causing you trouble! (Should've read the fine print on that MAGA dream!) (Now your face is getting eaten by your own team!) His wife was "owning the libs" at her job, Till DEI got cancelled, now she's part of the mob! Turns out that program she loved to condemn Was keeping her paycheck from going to them! "Tonight on Tucker's replacement: Are YOU secretly woke? Studies show 90% of angry conservatives Actually benefited from programs they voted to destroy! Back to you, Sean!" The grants at his college just dried up and died, His daughter's tuition's now classified! He's typing "BUT HILLARY!" in all caps with rage, While selling his truck on the Marketplace page! Thoughts and tariffs, dear Jeremy! Your culture war's got a high cost! Thoughts and tariffs, poor Jeremy! Guess your own face got totally lost! (Should've checked which programs you wanted to break!) (Now you're learning socialism's not just cake!) "This is BIDEN'S fault somehow!" "But Trump literally signed the order..." "That's different! He's hurting the wrong people!" "Define 'wrong people,' Jeremy..." "I demand to speak to socialism's manager!" "Sir, this is a Wendy's that's closing due to budget cuts." Now Jeremy's started a GoFundMe page, "Help me fight government welfare with rage!" The irony fairy just died from the strain, As he asks for handouts to own libs again! "Breaking: Local man who voted to freeze all federal assistance Shocked to discover he lives in a society More at 11... if we still have funding for the news..."
Thanks to Jeremy for the cautionary tale ig and as we say in France "chapeau" to both your musical and political acumen dear sir!
