Pretty cool how we swung from "groceries cost too much" to "we must crash the economy at all cost."

We are truly living in parallel realities with some of our fellow citizens.


You don't understand their motivation to crash the economy do you?

They want a White Christian Only Neo Nazi homeland with zero minorities or others.

They know by now there's no way to deport 250 million people who don't like them. But what they do know is people like to upgrade lives, not downgrade and definitely not live in a shithole.. so they want to make America a shithole where everyone not their kind voluntarily leaves for better prospects if they make things terrible enough for everyone else.

Even the Nazi's didn't stop Jews from leaving at first.. they just wanted them out. However the ones that still don't leave.. well then you're talking about the final solution to the unwanted question.

Remake the country in the MAGA image should tell you everything.. they don't want a better economy.. they want to destroy it.




And I agree.. we are truly living in different realities with some of our fellow citizens.. where crashing the economy and making everyone poorer is super desirable for 70+ million.

Bezos goes all-in on Trump with a week to go for the election.

Top online headline on WP today is a attack piece on Harris, with pure speculation pretending to be "news", and not even noted as opinion. Which when checked is based entirely on... a hypothetical future supposition, based on precisely zero evidence of anything wrong.

You know, because Harris is using her brother-in-law as an advisor, that is clearly evidence of a terrible crime (at least the headline and lead-in implies it certainly is... and then follows up with zero evidence, just all speculation and opinion of how it might become a problem in the future)

(Edit: and bye-bye to 1 more WP subscription and Amazon Prime subscription, not that 1 makes any difference, but maybe the 200k and counting will)

You don't see the irony of declaring the masses need to endure hardship while the government figures out how much of the economy/means of production to allow back to the people?

When did you become a marxist?

Uh... I don't think they're going to be proposing that the people own the means of production, champ.

There's a dilemma, really, in that it feels distasteful to hope for someone's death (and is also probably against some kind of etiquette for civil discourse, or just forum rules, to speak of such things). And yet as long as Supreme Court Justice appointments are for _life_ there's really no other way to address a wish for someone to be gone. God's term limits are the only "term limit" they have. There ought to be a special dispensation to the normal rules of civilised commentary when it comes to absolute monarchs, undemocratic despots, or Supreme Court Justices.

NO KIDDING.

That's the point, after they "rebuild" the economy.

Someone on reddit had a thought:

They might be following the Russian oligarchy map.

Bankrupt the country, sell off assets on the cheap to well connected "Businessmen" who become richer but dependent on you.

The Cryto bros are hoping for a crash. The "National Debt" reset crowd is hoping for a crash.

I think either of the Obamas, or Hillary would do just that. I've always thought that Barack would be a fantastic nominee for SCOTUS for just that reason.
Barack Obama was expert in constitutional law, IIRC. I imagine he'd be a force to be reckoned with on the SCOTUS.

Whatever their intentions, I doubt they are genuine/good.

There's been people on the left screaming this for decades. It's not a secret.

Oligarchs want to be the founding member of an Aristocracy.

This is an important feature of fascism. If you permit undesirables to leave, there's less to deal with when you try to round them up, and fewer to speak out since the only ones left either don't want them there, or are of too low status or resources to do anything about it. Worked just fine for Nazi Germany.

"Some of you will have to endure hardships while we remake the economy to our liking."

Kinda sounds like communism??
Sounds like what the Venezuelan government has been telling their citizens.
(and several righties have also said the same thing…”short-term hardships.”

Scoundrels and bullies often retreat to downplaying and humor when confronted. How many people witnessed a bully exclaim that he was 'just playing' when confronted by a more threatening peer or a teacher?
