If you are trying to wreck the US economically to the benefit of the enemies of democracy this works well

“That gargantuan shock will cost trillions of dollars in economic growth, eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs held by U.S. natives,” said Michael Clemens, an economics professor at George Mason University who focuses on migration.

I love the way NYT and other media waited until AFTER the election to point this out. Imagine a debate question about the impact of mass deportation on the economy, citing these experts.

gregorymitrovich.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yes, but if the US economy goes into a depression it will drag into the abyss a the world economy especially those nations like China that are export oriented. The chain reaction will be historic.

perlyngemark.bsky.social•106 days ago

China will become closer with EU as they move products from US to EU and EU will do the same. If Trump helps Putin EU will be forced to boycott the US

Will also effect Social Security because of a large drop in FICA funds

robtbell.bsky.social•106 days ago

Agree that Trump's mission is to do exactly that.

jholston.bsky.social•106 days ago

Will also destroy military recruiting, which is already under severe duress. Which they're apparently also fine with .... because .... ???

sunraa.bsky.social•106 days ago

He will change the military composition. Plenty of Trumptards will join

sweetooth1.bsky.social•106 days ago

Trump created a U.S. dystopian story 'round immigrants knowing how fearful his base is, but it's all for his own interests. He doesn't care about his base one bit. Uses them relentlessly. Dictators have to have scapegoats I think. Even pardons Bannon who ripped-off his own base. Still don't get it.

javiertf.bsky.social•106 days ago

At some point most of us will get to the conclusion that this was the plan from the beginning, inasmuch as it sounds conspiratorial. Because ultimately that's what it was, a conspiracy.

I just hope half of my fears are unfounded. It’s gonna be a long 4 yrs. 😞

kimberspiff.bsky.social•106 days ago

This has direct parallels to what Musk did to Twitter. There is a plan.

katog617.bsky.social•106 days ago

How many billions in taxes do these immigrants add to our economy without being eligible for SS?

persistandresist.bsky.social•106 days ago

What do we do with our money/ investments because they will wreck the economy??

sdeslippe.bsky.social•106 days ago

Explain how the US isn't the enemy of democracy?

sunny2025.bsky.social•106 days ago

Are you saying election deniers are the enemy of democracy?

sdeslippe.bsky.social•106 days ago

I"m saying in the US there are two parties that have zero care in the world about upholding democracy, neither care what the people want.

Yes. Along with decapitating the U.S. Armed Forces leadership and command structure.
And trust in institutions Intelligence and science!

darrylfair.bsky.social•106 days ago

Such timely reporting! How long has Trump been proposing this policy? If only there were an election I front us so citizen could be informed about the economic consequences of a candidate’s policy proposal 🤷🏼‍♂️

leftsnark.bsky.social•106 days ago

Americans are about to find out just how reliant our economy really is on migrant workers

jamesfromqueens.bsky.social•106 days ago

All I know is the nation’s healthcare systems will crash. Cuts to Medicare and Medicaid, eliminating Obamacare, plus deporting millions of people who utilize health services or are employed in healthcare will hollow out a vital industry.

kristinelogie.bsky.social•106 days ago

The governor and representatives here in Texas know how this would destroy our state’s economy and are still all in to fuqq Texans over. 🤬

tamela.bsky.social•106 days ago

About a year or more ago, I DMd you on the hellscape telling you of my fear of Musk. That he was too easily swayed & is corruption glorified. I wish I had been wrong

tamela.bsky.social•106 days ago

My heart is broken for America. The coup never ended, and now it is ramping up for all to see. The rule of law is gone for 1 party. They are the enemy of democracy. They, like the Germans, sold their souls for what they saw as a few shekels & of course, POWER

None of Trump's economic stuff will ever happen. He doesn't mean any of it. So naturally here we are talking about it. That's the goal. And we keep doing it.

am3z.bsky.social•105 days ago

Do they have any clue what they're doing? They seem to fail to realize that immigrants are essential to the US economy. How do you expand the economy to function? When you take away the engine that keeps it going.

garysnyder.bsky.social•105 days ago

Goal meet post?

oscarwildething.bsky.social•106 days ago

Or instead of deportation, they are going to make forced labor camps.

... I feel like we have all fallen into a nightmare.

wendylouart.bsky.social•104 days ago

Handmaids Tale.

1diane.bsky.social•106 days ago

Thinking about all the taxes withheld and SS deducted which may never get collected, but will stay in our treasury...not fair that they won't benefit, but in reality, it's an ongoing contribution to our budget that doesn't really get taken into account.

rescuesdogz.bsky.social•106 days ago

As sad and awful as it is, the only way to educate Americans is through real financial pain.The electorate has already said they don't care about cruelty or competence. All those Gen Z folks, Latinos and white people will only see the light when they are broke, jobless and have no health insurance.

donahuesurfer.bsky.social•106 days ago

They’ll just continue to blame “the libs”. They’re too dumbed down now.

opiemincks.bsky.social•106 days ago

Exactly. In fact, I feel that’s the real goal. The white supremacy, religious extremism, and fascism are merely means to an end. I mean they’re a horror as well but even that functions as an effective distraction.

sunraa.bsky.social•106 days ago

these dipshits think they will be in control after the shit hits the fan

sueonmoonbeach.bsky.social•106 days ago

Time to reread Naomi Klein’s Shock Doctrine.

happymiser.bsky.social•106 days ago

Grocery prices will not come down, gas will not come down, interest rates for homes, cars and credit cards will not come down. Product shortages will start and unemployment will rise. Trump voters will turn on him and R’s in general being open to Dem messaging they have been lied to.

sunraa.bsky.social•106 days ago

no they won't. they'll pretend they never hear of trump

ellilu.bsky.social•104 days ago

His supporters will never turn against him. They have the propaganda machine to make sure it.

sassymina.bsky.social•106 days ago

Yes. We know who the “enemies from within” are. All projection.

benjaminthomas616.bsky.social•106 days ago

Let it all burn. There is clearly no other way these people will learn...sadly, we all have to be caught up in the wildfire.
