    I suspect the idea that there’s a “backsies” button that can be pressed is delusonal. Whatever comes after Trump will not be the neoliberal realism that occupied the 25 years prior to him. I strongly suspect that the idiocy of Trump’s era will give way to less incompetent right wing populism in the west in the 2030s… Maybe that’s what they’re banking on tho…

      Rightwing populism (aka fascism) is incompetent pretty much by nature, though not necessarily as incompetent as Trump’s admin has been.

    I have no idea why companies go full republocan when the economy sores under Dem. Probably to cause a crash and consolodate wealth and start the cycle over. Pretty sure they flew too close to the sun this time. My wife and I have completely boycott several companies that we have spent thousands of dollars at yearly before.

      Most Republicans just give tax breaks and less regulation. Donny is unique in fucking up the economy. “But he didn’t do it last time something something.”

      As the other replies said, tax breaks and cuts to regulation. But it’s also that they know there’s cycles in politics, so they get what changes they want from the right, and then count on the left to fix the economy the next time around. Much like riding the market. The danger is when things go too far and the system breaks. The dwarves corporations delved too greedily and too deep. Now they have a balrog to contend with.

      Because they want no regulation and all the money. Democrats sure as fuck aren’t perfect, but a lot of them want a more equitable division of money and want to tax those who make a bunch. Corps can’t have that.

    No shit! All these CEOs that bent the knee to trump should suffer some actual consequences.

    I’m so tired of idiot CEOs being glamorized. They are not smart. They’re wealthy. Tremendous wealth makes you stupid.

      I’m totally and completely disgusted with each and every CEO that has kissed his ass and gifted him tributes. These people must face consequences when (if) the dust settles on this hateful, incompetent, divisive administration.

      It should be diagnosed as a mental illness, because it fucking is! I remember watching an interview years ago with some rich ceo, and the interviewer asked what would happen if he lost his job, and he had no idea how his family would be able to eat.

      It’s a mental sickness. Prove me wrong.

    Wait till the previous ruling class realizes he holds the levers of power now, not them. His cult runs the show, not theirs. They sold the whole property thinking it was a lease.

    “We don’t like Trump, so we want to go back to the system that produced him, and his voter base.”

    Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

    If they really want change they should lobby for fairer systems with better services and greater wealth distribution.

    Look at all the trouble he’s causing businesses, disappearing workers, scaring tourists, making overseas goods more expensive, angering foreign customers
