      It’s because it’s not true. Capitalism is in crisis. It’s rate of profit will fall and Americas entire economy is dependent on finance and oil capital. Both of which are in crisis.

      The oligarchs gave power to the fascist to protect their profits. The tarrifs are nothing more than a war on the working class.

      They will enjoy the free labor from the concentration camps.

      The only CEOs that care will be the ones who’s companies fail as the concentration of capital continues. These tarrifs and other policies are designed for just that. To benefit the top oligarchs that align themselves with the fascist.

      Don’t expect the capitalist to be the ones to fight Fascism. They will lose to big capital that aligns with it.

    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.”

    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…

    Hey a whole lot of you dipshits gave him money because some of you are constitutionally incapable of voting for the Democratic Party.

    A lot of you also figured you would benefit from the usual scheming of conservatives, which is massive deregulation, massive tax cuts, breaking labor so that you have a fearful and compliant workforce you can rule over easily, etc.

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

    I mean on the one hand, obviously glad to see him go.

    On the other, replacing him with JD Vance may be good for business, but it’s not good for America, and I think Peter Thiel always planned for him to step in before Trump’s second term was over.

    That’s why Ro Kahnna and Massie joined forces in the House on the Epstein case, and why JD Vance leaked that story to Rupert Murdoch.

    I don’t think Peter Thiel was planning for the Senate to start looking into his own ties, or big bank ties to Epstein. Even if Trump goes, we better not be willing to let demands about the Epstein investigation leave office with him.

    They’re not actually going to do anything about it, though. They’re just going to complain behind his back, but still go along with everything he’s doing to destroy the economy anyway.

    If only the poor impacts on business could have been predicted based on past behavior somehow. But I guess if the brightest CEOs in the US couldn’t have seen this coming, what hope did anyone else with two eyes have?

    “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.

    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.
