    Uh huh, but worth it to who? So far all we’ve heard is some vague existential nonsense about how they have to implode the economy in order to save the economy. Based on the messaging I’ve heard all my life, “stagflation”is one of the least desirable economic modes to have under capitalism.

    If we believe that the democrats didn’t properly recognize or hear the very real economic anxiety that Americans felt prior to the election, and that that disconnect in part contributed to their failure, I think we might also assume that Americans as a whole will not simply “take his word for it” that they should become homeless in order to drive crypto prices up.

      The bothsiderists don’t typically look at what the Republicans did or didn’t do, except as a jumping off point to explain to everyone else how the Democrats are terrible at pretty much everything.

      And certainly the unhinged base is so disconnected from reality that it would take quite a lot to wake them up, if it’s possible at all. The same geniuses that could see all the same stats we could under the booming economy we just had up until January of this year, now proclaim, without even flinching that donvict was handed “the worse economy ever”. We can all look at things like S&P take a gigantic downturn after donvict’s stupid games with tariffs, but these guys blame that direct cause/effect on…Biden. And people like Dollar Store Harry Potter Mike Johnson sit there and repeat the same brazen lie.
