As I said repeatedly before the election, voting for authoritarianism because you think it’ll boost the stock market just means you’ll end up with a broken democracy and a broken economy.

Name the game. "Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief." - Chris Murphy (read his summary below)
So true. People who sold their souls or rather their votes to Republicans thinking it would boost the stock market are watching it tank right now. So now we have a tanking stock market and a broken democracy. Sad!
How were you to know??!! Just because he tanked: a 'university', a vodka company, an airline, a football team and a casino (amongst many other companies) there was no way to know he'd come unstuck with the vagaries of world economics.
Agreed. It's just so damned myopic. "I saved $100 on my taxes (or whatever)! Also, I lost my job, my house, my say in government policy, my ability to protest, my freedom."
There is no group of people in the world I want to beat over the head with a 2 by 4 (with the words "you are an arrogant idiot who will never have an independent thought in your greedy, anti American head again" inscribed) more than the "business" community
There’s one group I’m more outraged with. It’s the US legal-judicial profession. None of this would be happening again if they had the balls to treat him like a common criminal and put him in jail for contempt of court instead of enabling his stalling tactics.
Those fucks too. Cowards. Every "admonishment" this traitor got while on trial last year was an insult to our faces, when he should've been in prison years ago.
And then we see this fucking judge dismiss the case against Eric Adams, while wagging his finger? Fucking pathetic.
Mitch McConnel could have led his Republicans to convict him during the 2nd Impeachment for J6 and ban him from govt for good.
Then the legal system could have gotten him.
Every single member of the establishment class had the power to stop him, but they all suddenly realized that holding a billionaire accountable would be like holding themselves accountable.
Truer words have never been spoken, it wasn't about no damn eggs, we had a thriving economy under Biden/Harris. It was albout hate and maintaing the status quo.
It also proves you’re a selfish, hate-filled, cruel, greedy traitor who will destroy our country so you can be rich at the expense of people’s lives and our Democracy.
Lack of civics and critical thinking in society leads to sad, zombie people... this is why they are dismantling higher education and law firms as we speak... wake up people. They want to control you.
Precisely, that's why the Mango Fascist claim to love the uneducated, because they are more easily manipulated and controlled. Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. That is why Trump is attacking education,science, the arts, museums.
Long term, you wreak havoc on the world economy. Short-term, you sink your own Titanic. 🤣🤣🤣🇫🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦Good luck with your village idiot ruler, Moronica Great Again ! 🤡🤡🤡
Oh. Wait. That’s right. Your CEOs and shareholders are counting on the government you all despise to bail you out with corporate subsidies while the rest of us twist in the fucking wind!

Anybody who can read a stock history chart would laugh at the absurdity of that belief. Illiterate and illogical are a fatal combo.
Maybe his third term will be the charm.
