    People forget after 4 years. It’s not like Trump’s first administration was great for anyone but the people that got the giant tax cuts.

      Like people forgot the Great Depression? It’s possible you’re underestimating how bad this collapse will be.

      I was born in 1970, and some of the adults around when I was a kid still lived like at any day the rug could be pulled out from under them.

        Yep my step grandmother grew up in the depression and she would buy a enough groceries to feed an army every week. Even though it was only here in the house. She had boxes of cereal from freaking 80’s on the shelf and deep freezers and I mean 2 to 3 full of meat. You didn’t her cooking it was so bad meat gone freezer rot. But she couldn’t help it. She was child during the depression she talk about it often and how bad it was.

          My grandmother also live through the depression. She would save half a cracker with some cheese on it for the next day. I don’t think I saw her waste a morsel of food in 30 years.

      Wasn’t as painful for the general population as this. He is more destructive in ways that directly affect the majority this time. He can’t coast off the democratic economy with these moves. Republicans actually care when things affect them.

          And Republicans thought that was nothing. Their pocket books are affected now. I’m not agreeing with their logic, I am going off the grumblings I am seeing now versus then. I live in a very red area.

      People were voting against Dems for inflation that was largely from summer of 2022. Bear markets/recessions usually last 15 months.

      If Trump keeps this stupid shit up for more than a week, the Republicans will have a bloodbath. Look no further than the elections of 1890.

      It wasn’t even the tax cuts i feel like those covid checks with his name on them really sealed the deal.
