Here’s the question. Why not assume this economic crash is intentional and not a mistake? Who is benefiting? Who will be able to buy equities and entire companies cheap? Is there a connection between a global economic disaster and the turn towards Russia (that isn’t tariffed) and the threats to our neighbors and Greenland? If this looks more and more like the 1930s with a depression and authoritarianism can we expect it to end the same way, with a world war and will we lose it, as Germany did?
Time to be very clear: MAGA is EVIL. Compromise with MAGA is to cooperate with evil. There is nothing that justifies compromise or cooperation with evil. Bi-partisanship with evil liars is nothing to be worked toward. The aim of the Democratic Party should be to win EVERY election and wipe MAGA and Republicans from all levels of government. Opposition to tRump and MAGA is a moral imperative that defines an American's true character; there can and will be no compromise with Evil, MAGA or Trump.
