        Now the whole political spectrum loves the second amendment. The conservatives really are doing a good job

          Liberals have always respected the 2nd Amendment, they just feel that the issue requires some responsible, common-sense guardrails, especially for young people.

          I know LOTS of well-armed liberals.

        Well that’s awkward for them because there’s nowhere they’d have it as good as the US has been in terms of taxes and stability.

        Good job on them for lighting the house on fire while they’re in it.

    The economy was chugging right along and on the way back until Trump and Co. came in destroying The gains made by the last administration.

    firing so many federal employees has knock-on effects all the way down.

    Not to mention the tariffs and USAID.

    This is by Design. That way the ultra-rich can gobble up everything at a cheaper price.

      Yeah, the qons were extremely butthurt that “no one wants to work any more”, meaning they didn’t have as short a leash on labor as they wanted. Somehow, you’d hear working class repeating this same bullshit, and that’s some serious brainwashing in action right there. But you’d hear it - and still hear it - all the time.

      Anyway, if they can put a lot of people out on the street to compete for the same set of jobs, yank all services and all benefits, they can try to get labor back into line to such a degree to even surpass the way things were pre-covid and make sure that the working class knows who is REALLY the boss, and it won’t be labor…they want it where the working class is grateful for the crumbs being cast to them (“trickle down”) that keep them from starving and don’t aspire to anything better.

      Even better is if they can do away with democracy altogether and just have the better people - the parasitic idle rich - make all the decisions so that the 99% cannot even band together and vote for people that will punish the rich in even the most moderate of ways.

    I wish they’d quit making up cutesy names for actual horrors. It’s not a “Trumpsession,” it’s a fucking recession.

    I understand that including his name ties him to the event, but too many people have a positive connotation with it, so they won’t see the word recession, only his name.

      Saying this is a ‘Trump induced recession’ is too many syllables for the maga fucks to get through their thick skulls.

      We might be lucky if donvict’s actions “only” cause a recession and not an all-out depression. Desperate people are not going to sit around and do nothing and they’ll be ripe for easy answers being supplied by the likes of extremists.

      I know accelerationists of both wings like to imagine that they and/or their ideology will come out on top in the event of violent revolution/civil war, but…it usually doesn’t work like that.

      I have heard my brother in law (who voted for trump) say that things will have to get very bad before he can make them better. His base knows. They dont care and think its ‘part of the plan’

        His base is a bunch of cultist lunatics that would vote for him if he shot their mom on fifth avenue in front of them.

            Uh, I was more referencing the, “Let them eat cake” thing. Not sure how the cake being vegan would affect anything, other than maybe making the brother in law actually angry enough to notice he’s being used as a tool and being force fed shitty vegan cake. We can only dream though, I bet he still would lick the boots. Been seeing MAGAts buying Teslas and it’s hilarious to see the 180 on electric cars.

    You have a child running around with spray paint, won’t take it away, and are worried about the drapes.

    Got it.

      A lost generation, common starvation, genocide? Economic and ecological collapse? IDK.

    Just a reminder that when they say they’re worried, they’re simply worried that they have their yachts and private jets ready to go.
