If you see any local news reports or stories in the paper or on radio or in trade journals, please post them everywhere and tag me so I can too. And this is the type of stuff that should be posted on twitter , threads and all socials. The bigger the reach the bigger the impact @msnbc.com @cnn
Most of us know what tariffs do and can do,Rump has no idea how a tariff does,he thinks it's a way to make money and it dosen't work that way.
I've seen reports of red state folks acknowledging the pain but believing 100% that it's "necessary" and even "patriotic" for the betterment of the country. 🤷♀️
I am sure these voters will figure it out when they no longer have jobs, can not get unemployment or any other government assistance, and are not able to provide either food or an education for their kids. Then again, they voted for a Felon, so what do I know.
You are right, of course, and most of the pain is going to be in rural red America. They sure stuffed it to those big city libs. Logic will not factor into any decisions trumph followers make. They don't care as long as trumph is destroying the half of America they believe they're not a part of.
Red state voters have historically re-elected officials who’ve kept them at the bottom ranking for quality of life issues. I don’t see any regrets. I hear them blaming Democrats for their plight. Don’t expect any epiphanies now.
Just wait for the pain to get inflicted first. It’s no use if it never happens.
Thank you for giving us your wisdom!!!
We broke our record in Tucson Saturday at #teslatakedown. 1,785 people!!!! Plus DOZENS of people drove by with protest signs on their cars!
Well two billionaires had warned there will be some pain to endure.
Working class do not respond to charts and data. Perhaps a story with real people from their communities—not some other community and how it impacts the family, their neighbors and their choices.
🇨🇦Think twice before travelling to 🇺🇲. Jasmine Mooney is home after about 10 days ICE lock up over Visa issues at the Mexican border. Homeland security wants to register and fingerprint our Snowbirds. And the wartime alien measures act can apply to Canadians. Cross the border into 🇺🇲 at your own risk.

Mr. Cuban, Democrats can't find their nose on their faces. Someone needs to declare for presidency now. Harris, Walz, or even Buttigieg. They need to attack what's going on and lay out the consequences.
When is a smart young guy like yourself going to Run for the Presidency??
and then there's Texas www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/t...
This is where it should have started!
The cult won't believe it even if we do.
Most Democrats can't repeat an important talking point three days in a row. Their message is a muddled mess.
Canada isn’t stupid.
Mark. Might be a good idea for you to work more closely with @governorwalz.mn.gov, @aoc.bsky.social and @chrismurphyct.bsky.social Democrats who know what they are doing.
It’s a little late to be flipping voters.
Dems have failed the US too now
Kentucky you say?
Mark run for office
Do they need voters now though? Their end game seems to be to fuck things up as much as possible. This seems to fit that goal pretty well. 🤨🖕
SO TRUE‼️ Thank you Mark.
Do you honestly think we will have another vote?
You just don't get it, Mark. You have no clue what the working class people of the left are. You're a billionaire. You bought out the leaders of the DNC, and because of your continued bad advice, they lost. Gloating about how badly the economy is going isn't the way to win votes. Go away.
Kentucky resident here, I'm on it. 👋
Looks like only some Dem leaders are doing it, others are MIA. It's up to people like us to step up. Thanks @mcuban.bsky.social @urbanmuse.bsky.social do your thing!
I think they are to ignorant to understand this chart.
Also something must be done about propaganda on FB! Recently my feeds have included a huge increase in “muskrat is a good guy” posts!
There are no ethical billionaires
Your King will simply convince them that a real war is then necessary...
I disagree it would be more import to focus on Fox News because this is their sole source of information. When he tells them that your job loss, your pain is temporary and patriotic and the cult media backs him it will be years in before they flip
And how many of those are red states?
WAY more important than basic humam rights.
I Still Don’t Think the People Who Need to Hear This, Will…Or Actually Understand or Care‼️
Why should he care now? He won't be facing anymore elections whether he chooses to extend his term as POTUS or not.
Thank you for your helpful advice. ♥️
We must keep ourselves and others informed. Thank you Mark Cuban!
Red states took 80% of the 14.6 million new jobs Pre. Biden created with CHIPS & Science Act. Those ungrateful red states rejected Biden/Harris and voted for Frump, who has done nothing to improve their states. Now, this is what they ended up with. You can't make this stuff up.
Mark, please think about starting your own news station and or a radio station as the dictator has removed press credentials . Basic media has sold out with a bended knee. Americans need access to the truth.
They all say $2000 more? Hello! $2500 per person! So $10,000 family of 4! If you need a Car? OMG 7% like Student Loans and $10,000 to $25,000 More over 6 years? Insurance more$$$ My they are screwing everyone! Trump is delusional!
Plus jobs lost from multiplier effect=staggering total impact. I’d love to parachute in cover & orchestrate media content sharing. An effective small team could do this.
When are you announcing your run for office?
Bit of an own goal by the far right Republicans.
Yes! Needs to be coupled with stories about the impact already being felt by specific individuals and local communities.
While I am trying to fight the good fight, I wonder if his voters will flip. A koolaid drinking family member thinks our egg prices have dropped because Trump got eggs from Turkey. He still full believes Trump is the best. They are 100% buying what they are being sold.
I will never ever understand why they vote against their own interests.
Doesn’t matter… there will not be another election!! Can’t you see what’s happening??!!
You are giving me whiplash, but this is a great take. Hopefully the dems actually do something useful.
Thank you for all of your posts Mark!
SCIENTOLOGY MAGA no different than Scientologists To get Scientology recognized as a religion by US Gov’t, L Ron Hubbard ordered his followers to threaten judges & politicians Donald J Trump is no different than L Ron Hubbard
Thank you. Adding these states to my boycott list. Red state voters, WAKE UP. Red state kids, your parents are RUINING your future. It's you and RUSSIA against the world? Trump's already abandoned you. You guys are nuts 🤪
Are we going to have another election?
But why do anything when you can just go around and promote your own book?
I agree. This is a great piece of data.
Magas don't care about numbers or stats. They'll only turn on him once they are on the street or unemployed. Remember it's not about facts or the truth with them. It's about their specific "truth."Try asking one of them if they ever disagreed with one of his policies
the Democrats are over. It's time for a new regime
Mark sees it, we must build a wide coalition. We need the majority of both parties to work together (yeah we know..they did this) but.. this is war on our democracy. Act accordingly. Sideshows can resume after we save our Country from Autocracy.
Good for those red states!!! Well deserved! They earned it! Sometimes you get what you vote for!!
I guess you really can't fix stupid.
I shared it to Facebook, or whatever they're calling it now. I avoided this platform for about 10 years because I can't take the reiteration of misinformation, but I've been posting again of late because I know that's where the good info needs to go. This oughta be good🙄
Poor bastards
Absolutely - talk about the pain the musk/trump criminal administration is about to unload on them.
Stop trying to be the people's billionaire. You can afford to do something stop posting like you're one of us. Spend some of that wealth you're hoarding.
They have been so slavishly brainwashed into sacrificing anything and everything in the name trump. I truly wonder if he simply said, "gimme 90% of all you have," many would do it.
Those voters can’t be flipped. They’ve already said it was never about grocery prices. They’re in a cult, Mark.
Mark, America needs ya brother. Gather up your rich friends and start pouring funds it into saving this country from these fascists. Or else youll need to start the hiring process for a PMC so you can keep your assets away from russia/trumps grubby little hands
Damn does this mean the cheeseheads were trading with the Canadians the hardest ? Crazy
This assumes MAGA people actually know how to translate this chart...
Good!! FAFO
Here you go @mcuban.bsky.social "McConnell, the former longtime Republican Senate leader, said millions of American jobs – including thousands tied to bourbon production and auto manufacturing in Kentucky – depend on policies that preserve free and fair trade" www.msn.com/en-my/news/p...
Michigan in the lead. But UAW president Shawn Fain supports them. www.commercialappeal.com/story/news/2...
I guess the red states gonna find out sooner rather than later.
I hope your right Mark, but history shows, dumb people have a track record of voting against their own interests. www.mvpsych.com/blog/voting-...
It's adorable that you think there's ever going to be another free and fair election in this country.
well here is a talking point...
Thanks for digging up the stats 👍😊
They killed our cyber security unit.There is no election security. 2016 was stolen. 2024 was stolen. Now it's even worse. We better get on THAT
Yeah my state of KS which hasn’t gone for a Democrat since 1965 apparently didn’t realize that there’s a lot of aluminum in airplanes.
I don’t care anymore about these people if they lose their jobs, if they are Trump voters completely do not care. If they are Harris voters I do feel bad, but what can be done?
Makes sense.
Start calling tariffs a, Trump tax!
You're assuming Voter's and Votes matter; I'm not sure they do anymore!
Economic pain is not only job loss. Please add the amounts taken from public schools for vouchers.
Don’t think this shows ppl losing livelihood like due to contracts of good to good banks and school lunches small farmers losing this are driven out if business
Will this be the Tesla Killer ❓ I'm thinking Mark Rober might get a call from Elon Musk👇 8,5 million views in 24h www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQJL...
Yep. But they have a hard time meeting the moment
If we are relying on the 2026 mid-terms to hold Trump accountable, I'm afraid we won't have the institutions any longer that could accomplish that.
Bring it! The ONLY way maga understands. Like training a dog.
Let's do it!
1,970,700 jobs being lost. FAFO.
The Dems... hell this is OUR problem... there is no waiting for the magic politicians that don't exist.. NAZI germany stayed NAZI because they were always waiting for some one else to stop the NAZIs.. its a failed strategy. History shows us that.. We need to either Lead, Follow, or kiss their asses
That would be great if the Dems ever caught up with social media use!
When you eliminate one $80k/year job, you also affect half a dozen or more support industries. People are cutting back spending on goods, entertainment, clothes, repairs and upgrades, healthcare, car, dining out, so eventually that 9% becomes a contraction for entire economy.
Hey Mark I'm going to piggyback on you to get the word out on this March tomorrow! We need to keep showing up in huge numbers! youtu.be/szARlD95nWE?...
Your typos probably won't inspire anyone.
How many voters, in which states?
Absolutely!
By 2026 there will be no free and fair elections Trump and the Maga cult will make sure of it🙈
Pretty sure everybody shoulding on Democrats didn’t should on Trump when it might have made a difference. They are looking for cover.
The voters you want to flip only watch Fox News, OANN, info wars, sucker Carlson, lex fridman, Tim pool. They read breitbart. They listen to bro Rogan. There is no reaching them with any message
DEMOCRATS STEP UP AND STEP OUT AND STAND UP
Canada is targeting red states the most. In BC, originally it was just red state booze pulled off the shelves, but after the steel tariffs were added, it all got pulled.
Yes yes yes
Flip voters? Do you mean after we are done with this Constitutional Crisis if we still have any safe & secure elections at all? Please - we first need a way to stop what is certainly becoming an Authoritarian Regime.
"voters"? You think they matter anymore?
Some of the hardcore MAGA local farmers in my area in Mid-Missouri are shitting-bricks right now over the USDA cuts, etc., & tariffs.
I would think economic recovery, inflation, income growth, unemployment, consumer happiness... would all be more important than some obscure number, no?
What if the tariffs work?
Beginning to believe my party doesn’t have the ability to recognize an opportunity to win even when it kicks them in the shin!
They need to target my state, Pennsylvania, too.
They deserve everything they are receiving.
Please help us 🙏
You’re welcome. From 🇨🇦. Now do your parts my 🇺🇸 friends and start kicking Trump ass! The US population should not stand for any government disobeying lawful orders of the Court. Should not stand for the neutering of Congress, decimating the bureaucracy, etc. Unfettered power is dangerous. Rise up!!
If anyone is on Long Island tomorrow!!
Hes going to go after all of Bidens pardons we have to get on bondi now!!
Absolutely! The people that may be affected the most by cuts in our social safety net programs will be in States that were predominately Trump voting States. It needs to be shouted from the roof tops what is coming .
@mcuban.bsky.social you are so right! We need to FOCUS on real harm being done to people and Flip the votes! We can’t keep pointing to what “might happen if” a policy happens. Let Trusk break things and Show the real world harm.
It is a coup. and this national guardsman has the process to prove it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhz5...
Mark is right. We need to win the House back in 20 months. Jobs, inflation and the economy as a whole is where we win. Other issues may help, but can’t be the focus.
Although poll-tracking and the rather kumbayah protests we are seeing will never never never unseat a dictator. The protests we saw on the weekend in Belgrade and Budapest, with some experience of unseating dictators is what needs to start happening in every city in the US. And it only starts there.
Their hate is more important to them than their well-being
Does this track (from a friend)?
Get involved: democrats.org/peoples-town...
"Trump lied. Tariffs Are Taxes." Short, sweet, to the point. Put it on billboards in these states.
Yes! More of this! Please amplify!!! And thank you for all that you are doing!
The Democratic Party is dead. Schumer just showed us that our votes for them were worthless. Not voting at all would yield the same results.
@attorneyryan.bsky.social share/repost
@jesscraven101.bsky.social tag/repost
Too bad they don’t have enough common sense to figure it for themselves!! Oh I forgot, sense is not common to everyone!!
So Michigan really screwed themselves.
You put this together so I don't have to... 🤔 Sharing on my Facebook page, for what that's worth. (not much, but, you know, baby steps)
The poorest states being red states the chart is even more valuable.
Great. Take action, do something. Former MSFT CEO Balmer started USAFacts. Start there and use the data for good.
Unfortunately, red states aren't gimme-gimme states. Those folks aren't looking for government handouts.
***URGENT***
I agree 100% dems have to go to those states and hold town hall meetings explain how it will affect them show them charts
You’re spot on! The economic impact on these red states can’t be underestimated. Highlighting these statistics not only exposes the reality of tariffs but also resonates with voters feeling the pinch. It’s about making these issues personal and actionable for them!
Oh Mark, you optimist, you. That would require leadership, strategy, organization and strength on the Democratic side, and sadly, I'm not sure they have any of that. Great idea, though!
Yeah but the Chief Felon is training the cultists to welcome pain. It is well beyond bizarre.
I would agree i just don’t think they will ever overcome the propaganda + poorly educated + bigotry. Wisconsin maybe but the others are a lost cause
It’s sad but they voted for this!
@mcuban.bsky.social the most impactful thing you can do is create a trust to support people during a general strike, which is going to have to happen in order to stop this madness. Support the people and the people will be able to fix this. Two thirds of the country are pro democracy. Support them!
Hey Marc why don’t you make a real difference and you and your buddies fund a universal basic income? You guys can literally end poverty
The problem is, some Democrats(at least ten senators anyway) are voting for team Orange. Unless this changes, there is little chance of doing much.
Thank you, Mark! Facts matter. This admin has gone further than most thought. His Tariff delusions are going to come to roost. I wish you’d run for Pres! We could use you to straighten this mess up-we are willing to help! 💯%
Another view of it (Nevada is interesting, it's due to the export of gold/silver ore)
The issue is deeper than Trump The legislative branch has been too weak for decades which led to a president that now violates court order and controls the purse strings The federal government is an untrustworthy partner to states Liberal states need to push for independence
Please help advise them.
I agree, yell it to the rafters.
Since the red state representatives won’t be talking about this, maybe some brave democrats who might run can be the truth bearers on this. Have town meetings and go over this and all other crazy things he and musk have done. Need to wake up Trump voters.
I think you’ve got to be more specific. Name the jobs, otherwise it’s too easy to say “ that won’t be me”.
There may never be another vote, so
The right side bar chart is confusing. It needs a better explanation.
Sinclair media white washes everything for Trump I don’t expect anything different in a dictatorship
Just collateral damage, sir! Kind of like the D and the I in DEI. The equity they are coming for is in our collective holdings.
