“Americans must learn to adjust to a lower standard of living,” he told the crowd before suggesting a specific solution to prices hiked by his tariffs, which he continues to insist are a success. “You can give up certain products. You can give up pencils…You don’t need 37 dolls for your daughter. Two or three is nice.”

    The MAGA supporters are probably thinking the avocado toast eaters need to lower their standards of living, not themselves.

      I still find it hilarious that something like avocado toast (and arugula, lol. And Dijon mustard) has ended up as a shorthand for snobbish effete youngsters who probably also drink their tea with a pinky in the air, but are unable to afford housing and healthcare and childcare, because they are just bad at managing their money and blew it all on these luxury items etc…

      I mean, avocados spread on toast. Soooo elitist.

      Just eat less avocado toast and then you too can have an $80k lifted 4x4 you only use to commute back and forth to work.
